Custom Talioring Story from the WSJ

Several clothing savvy individuals of my acquaintance and others active in the forum culture consider a lot of Savile Row tailoring highly overrated. Never having patronized "The Row" I am in no position to comment from experience, just relaying the opinions of others.

Yes, please enlighten us. Your fighting words needs backing up.
