Custom Suit Question

Hi everybody,

I've noticed that some people are selling cloth from which to make a custom suit (Kiton, Zegna cloth, etc...).

Is it as simple as buying the cloth and giving it to a tailor to make a suit with? Is it cheaper buying the cloth yourself and paying the tailor for the construction?

Thanks!

Not all tailors will accept your cloth. Even those that do accept, you may not be saving much, if at all.
