Hi there. I have been reading these forums lately in attempt to figure out a solution to my problem -- I figure time is of the essence and I need to act.
Put simply: I need your help. I am getting married in October and want to buy a suit. Namely, I want to have a suit tailored, as opposed to buying one off the rack. I am not looking to spend a lot of money (if it could be kept below $1000 that would be very good). I will also need a shirt... and a vest.
I have never had a suit made, and have little experience buying them. I'm quite tall, but thin, which presents problems for buying off the rack suits, and I'm looking for a classic, lean cut. Something that "fits," obviously.
Today I tried to visit International Tailor Co. (AKA Tim the Tailor) who told me he had retired, though I'm not sure this is true. I also spoke with someone at Beckenstein (the Fabric Czar!), and I have read about Mr. Ned and others.
I really need to be pointed in the right direction, and would love any and all advice!
Thanks in advance!
