But most importantly, third, it's high time somebody posted pics around here of a fully-bespoke Flusser suit! There seem to be far more opinions about Flusser's work than there are informed opinions ... and while a pic on the foum does not provide enough good information to judge, I would love to hear your take on the process and final product.
I highly recoommend Flusser. I have a Black/Charcoal stripe double Breasted that he made for me over 14 years ago and it still looks great. He makes a great pair of pants with great attention to the
well I must say that I agree 100% with that. In fact, I owuld say that unless your interest is of that nature, bespoke is really probably not something people should necessarily do. It takes a lot of time and money, and the much of the reward is ethereal. I apologize if my comment came off as aggressive. I simply did not want to OP to think he was too young and experienced, and to be scared off of bespoke due to the previous comments. Plus, I think personal style is ever changing and waiting until having a rigid style is unnecessary. frankly, I find that going through the process of bespoke is actually the best way to filter through your style. Most rtw provides a style for you, whereas Bespoke forces one ot make the choices that really reveal the styl.e
As Bill Blass said, "No one knows more about menswear than Alan Flusser."
Logsdail by the way now produces his stuff in a factory in Louisiana. He sends the patterns there and they make them and send it back to NYC. I think that is more overpriced MTM than bespoke.
Well, you can't really "try on" bespoke suits. You pick your tailor based on educated guesses and after having established comfort with what bespoke really means. That is to say you should not fool yourself into believing that you will get exactly what you expect, or that you will be able to control the outcome to any significant degree. Rather, you should be prepared to be pleasantly surprised. If that sounds stupid to you, bespoke most likely won't make you happy.
I believe you are mistaken. I have seen, with my own eyes, coats being cut and made in Len's workroom in the back of his shop. I understand that he also offers a made-to-measure service in addition to his bespoke work (although most of his business is straight bespoke), and the made-to-measure garments obviously are made offsite in a factory somewhere (I don't know if it's in Louisiana or elsewhere). The (perhaps unintentional) implication of your post, however -- that all of Len's suits are made in a factory in Louisiana -- is not correct.
