It's my dream to one day own a MTO Drake's suit. I love their house cut. It suits my shape well. The problem: their tailors in Italy are on August vacation and I need a new suit for mid-September. Nothing ever fits my body off the rack. I'm looking to get a high-quality, timeless, super versatile Navy suit that I can use for this event and many more in the future. Ideally with a jacket I can use as a sports coat in more casual settings.

Last year I visited many tailors: Kent Wang, F.E. Castleberry, J. Press (made two suits there), Bergdorf Goodman, etc. Any recommendations on a tailor whose sensibilities matches Drakes? Ideally my budget is capped around $1500. I could go a bit higher. I was thinking about making an appointment at P Johnson.

If it's helpful, I have a slightly thicker build, and am not super tall. I want a high rise trouser and a wide lapel.

Thanks!

P Johnson I think use Sartoria Carrara as does No Man Walks Alone, so you might be stymied by the Italian holidays
