I found a tailor in Philadelphia who makes a custom suit for $1300. He steers away from the term "bespoke" because he doesn't do a basted fitting. He says the reason he is able to do this is that he is both the fitter and the cutter, so when he does the first fitting he gets the information he needs at that stage. He said he *can* do a basted fitting, and some of his customers request that, but he doesn't think the garment comes out much differently and he suggested skipping that. What questions should I be asking him? He has a very good reputation in the area, and has been doing his own cutting for more than two decades, maybe three. What would SF people be asking and requesting?
