Not sure where I should post this, however I was wondering if anyone has tried the Steed's MTO program? Could one expect the similar results we saw couple of pages ago with his double breasted suit considering that the:

"The largest limitation of Steed MTM is that the actual garment is not made up by hand in house. Instead, the garment is assembled by skilful cutters and tailors in a European based factory with a long history of manufacturing at a manageable and more importantly, consistent level. Therefore, Edwin and Matthew present clients measurements, figuration details and style preferences to someone else instead of drafting them personally which in turn means slightly less flexibility in style choices, but not in quality within the range of capability."

At the $1,200 for a two piece suit it sounds quite tempting. I am not sure if the fabric is included in the price but I guess it should be ..

Any thoughts?

Rather thrilled that someone endorsed my fit had posted my fit pic.

Like any MTM, I wouldn't expect to get it just right the first time, but I've seen some great results (in person).

That includes cloth, but I think the price you are quoting is half canvassed. I thought full canvas was more like $1500usd, but I could be wrong...just email Matthew.
