Thinking of finally getting a bespoke suit. Any advice on getting a Savile Row suit from a trunk show. Or should I use a local tailor in the US?

Make sure you can easily get to whatever city they travel to if using a SR trunk show. Usually not a problem if you live in NYC, Chicago, or SF as most SR firms visit those 3 cities.

I am currently going through the process with Richard Anderson and one thing that I have to say is that it takes forever. They only come 3 times a year so your first suit will be ready in a bout 1 year. If you want faster results go local.
