HI,
First post...be kind.
I am looking for a Made to Measure/Custom tailored 2 piece suit in London. I am 6ft 1ins with 42 ins chest and 36 ins waist....32 ins inside leg.
Budget is £1000-1500.
I had a wander down Savile Row yesterday and tried a number of suits on.
Kilgour and Richard James were IMO rubbish.
I tried a Huntsman off the rack ........blue chalkstripe.......they were very friendly and helpful and suggested I tried the ready to wear first.
It fitted really well in their opinion...and mine too....just needed 1/2 inch on the sleeve and waist......it was £1500.
I like the Huntsman coat the best of any I have seen.I dont really like "soft tailoring". The problem was...I wanted flat front trousers and slanted pockets...the ready to wear doesnt have this.
Planning to look off the row in a couple of weeks....specifically Jonathon Quearney and Russell Browne.
So...what should I do.....go with the Huntsman RTW (I am tempted)....or go MTM and ask them to copy the Huntsman suit with the slant pockets and flat front.
Is this likely to be successful???
Thanks in advance.
Jason
