Hi guys,

Tomorrow I'll be going to my first custom made suit(s) and shirt(s).

Any advice, anything I should know, any questions I should ask? This is really my first time so any comments or advice would be appreciated, thanks!

My advice would be to ask questions and do your research before already having chosen a tailor and having an appointment for the next day. If you are clueless as to what you want and what to ask at this point, I fear you are at the mercy of the shop. Unless you study up right quick.
