So I took a suit to be tailored there and Joe is apparently is on vacation indefinitely. He has this Eastern European guy as his replacement. Does anyone have any experience with this new guy? Is he any good? I decided to hold off until I get more information about Joe's replacement.

I read somewhere on SF that Joe is on vacation until April. I don't know anything about his replacement. Was there any overlap when the two worked there together?

What is the price range at Rizzo's for bespoke? How much does he charge for a suit/jacket/trousers?

Hmmm....does no one else have experience with this guy? I didn't get his name. But he sounds Eastern European.

When Joe is on vacation he is on vacation...not much you can do. I didn't think he accepted alteration garments while he's away? He may have someone there for people picking up? You could always go to Jack's in Cambridge, other forum members have given good reviews. I have a few suits I need to bring to Joe as well but it's expected that he goes on vacation this time of the year....very Italian attitude towards life.

Lots of posts if you do a search but Joe charges around $1,800 for a suit from basic fabrics. Sportcoats usually around $1,200. Very classic business formal style. Your not going to get a Neapolitan suit from him.
