I wear suits just about every day and the majority of the suits I own are Baroni from the Wizard of Ahhs. I'm wanting to purchase a new suit in the next few months and wanted to get some ideas about quality comparisons of the following options.

Brooks Brothers 1818 - There is a BB close to me and I can probably wear OTR with some alterations although i'm not sure about this.

MyTailor - Kenny Keswani is going to be in my area next month and I can get measured for a custom (I believe MTM) suit from them.

LS in NYC - I'm going to be going to NYC in a few months and I could stop by LS and get measured by them. I'm only going to be in NY for 4 days so would that be enough time to get measured? I could only make it to the initial appointment and probably no fittings. Same with MyTailor.

I'm wanting to stay in the below $1,000 range. Thanks!

Do you mean below $1000? You got above $1000 written there...
