I hate to start a new thread, but I feel like the older reviews on some of the MTM suit options are outdated. I still see that Suit Supply is mentioned a lot, I have also seen black lapel also mentioned. I would like a nice quality suit but do not want to go Bespoke or spend too much. Would like to spend under $800 per suit (give or take) and the lower the better. I would like at least half canvassed. I also recently moved near Los Angeles, so if there is a local MTM option from a local shop I should consider that would be great. I know there is a suitsupply opening soon and their is a pop up store in Beverly Hills but I do not know if Suitsupply gets you the best value for the money. Lastly if there is a summer/spring fabric option that would be a bonus. Thanks everyone

Little changes - Online MTM remains a complete disaster looking for reason/sap to happen.

The real issue is that you need to be happy with the person that measures and that he is not simply working from a manual and guessing the bits of which he is unsure. Unless both are in place you won't be happy with the result and neither will it fit.

As to cloths I would assume any outlet has a seasonal bunch with a limited number available it. Having only had bespoke garments for over forty years this latter detail is something which I infer from shops at least trying to fleece some more money out of the MTM customers by convincing them that they need a wide range in their wardrobes. The bespoke market has a very different approach to cloths.

I found a local tailor and need some help on picking from the myriad of fabrics available. I want something that is the best bang for my buck. It's called mytailor in Costa Mesa. Thanks again
