You're in Tokyo right? I visited there last April and Ring is certainly worth a shot, although I'm pretty sure it will be more expensive than that and the cut doesn't seem to work for a lot of people. I don't know Tomorrowland. You could try the Isetan Men's department store in Shinjuku - they seemed to have some decent stuff. Or if you want to spend a lot more, Ethan, formerly of The Armoury, has a shop called Brycelands in Shibuya. And I know I dropped into a place in Ginza that had a good selection too, right near Ginza station, but I can't remember what it was called so that's little help. On the whole, there were a lot of suit shops all over tokyo but most of them were cheap.
If you ever get down to Osaka, however, there is a small shop called Kubo Classic Style that does RTW (a fairly small supply) and MTM for a bit more. MTM will be $1100-$1400 probably, depending on fabric. Definitely worth checking out if it's easy enough for you to drop by, and Mr. Kubo who owns the shop is a great guy. I have two from him. Do you speak Japanese?
Hello from SWD... I need a new 3-season suit. I live in Japan. Any recommendations for RtW suits around $800-$1000?
Ring Jacket? Tomorrowland house brand?
