I totally agree. Higher price is not a guarantee of better quality.
Hello and I hope everyone is well. Good points are being made by all. @ThePetros I am sincerely sorry to hear you had a poor experience. I have some fairly extensive experience with different types of bespoke clothing (e.g. footwear, suits, shirts, etc.) from various different makers. From experience I agree with your comment above that a higher price doesn’t guarantee better quality.
However, also from experience, I can say with confidence that “bespoke” at a significantly lower price point, which is what CAD offers, pretty much guarantees a problem somewhere. In your case it looks like it was customer service. I am currently in the process of having a sport coat and pants made by Dege and Skinner. After extensive research I went with them for my first Savile Row garment for a variety of reasons. An important one however was because their price point is in line with a true Savile Row tailoring house and the experience I had at my first appointment with them reflected this.
The most important thing is that you are happy with the final product. However, the experience does leave a bad taste in your mouth. Once again sorry to hear you weren’t treated right.
