I have been working with a travelling tailor with a SR shingle that comes to NY every other month and charges about $1500/suit. He does canvas fittings and offers a fair amount of customization, but I have been frustrated with the long turnarounds for fixes and an inability to get the fit right after several years. I am looking to spend $1500-$2000 per suit with a local tailor in NYC.
I gather from research on this site that Mr. Ned is a popular and good value at around $1K per suit. I am impressed that at that price point he does a canvas fitting. Another recommended option is Paul Winston MTM, which is $1650 per suit. He claims to offer as much customization as I would want with the only difference vs. his bespoke product (which is $1000 more) that the bespoke is made in house vs. sent out (though he cuts the fabric for both in house) and that there is a bit more handstitching in his bespoke. However, he does not do a canvas fitting as he does not see the need for it.
Would appreciate any thoughts on whether the incremental cost of Winston MTM vs. Mr. Ned is worth it as well as any other alternatives in that price range I should consider.
Thanks in advance from a first time poster!
