Hi everyone,
First post here, I'm usually a lurker, and in all likelihood it's a very stupid question, but...I'm trying to put together a wardrobe, and I'm intrigued by the custom tailor shops that you read about in countries like Japan, Vietnam, China, etc. where you can have custom-made suits made for incredible prices, like $150-200 for a suit. Particularly because I am on a tight clothes budget and can't afford nice suits otherwise. Unfortunately, I won't be near Asia anytime soon so I can't take advantage of any of these places. I did find out, however, that I will be traveling through Mexico/Latin America, and maybe even South America, in several months. My question is whether you can get custom-made suits for cheap in any of these countries like you can in Asia. I know latin/south america isn't known for their tailors, but I imagine that there are people in need of high-quality clothes in these places, so I thought I'd ask...in particular, a country like Argentina seems very fashionable and European, and I know that the country is popular among budget travelers...but I'm interested in Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, etc. as well.
Thanks!
Luke
Can anyone help me out
