Suitsupply and depending on time constraints, Luxire.

We need something turned around in 2.5 months. I guess SuitSupply we can just get an OTR suit and tailor it

Suitsupply can definitely do it.

Divij Bespoke can also do it - he takes 2-3 weeks. It looks like he's in NYC Sep 9th-17th. I'm not sure that fits your schedule. He is amazing. His MTM is bespoke level for me.

I'd reach out to him via email to see what the options are.

Any suggestions on where to get a wedding suit in NYC? Under $2k. Top rec right now is to head to NMWA and do their Carrara line but would love if anyone has some different suggestions. Thanks

Other than the NMWA route, The Armoury Ring Jacket suiting is nice. I had a friend go there for his wedding suit and it came out really well.

I've done Enzo Customs, which was pretty good but preferred my Carrara suit (and experience!)

I did Enzo back in 2011. Glad to see they are still around

For what it's worth, I did my first suit around 2016-2017. Went back in early 2022 to get measured at the midtown location, and the sales associates were aggressively pushing me to go even more slim and tapered, all while wearing suits that were extremely tight. Frankly, it's a testament to their construction that they didn't just split at the seams.

Long story short, ended up going with Carrara & NMWA - had a wonderful experience with Greg & co, where they asked me questions to figure out what I wanted/was comfortable with, instead of pushing his ideas on me.

Do you guys have any recommendations for cotton blend low rise briefs? Good ol' CK? I prefer grey but black or white are fine. I've been using Bread & Boxers but their site doesn't work for me.

Hanro / Zimmerli / Wolford are def the nicest I've tried but not cheap. Organic Basics is pretty good for something a bit more affordable. Only ever tried the basic CK line but the waistbands always felt flimsy and stretched out after a while.

Um, clear cache and cookies and try again? And maybe disable ad and javascript blockers if you have those on?

Is that Jomashop site legit?

Is that Jomashop site legit?

Yes, insofar as it’s one of the oldest and most reliable “grey market” watch sites out there. I think that it also has some deals with brands now too, though I can’t be sure of that. What are you looking at?
