I am going to get my first bespoke suit in London in a few months time.
With a budget of £1,400 for a three-piece suit, I need to be quite frugal on what I purchase.
I am quite confused about two main concepts:
i.) Cloth/Fabric quality.
ii.) Stitching quality.
Fabrics range from £750 to £1500, at a particular place that fits my budget.
Is the expensive cloth really worth it?
The type of stitching is also different.
My options are:
i.) Machine stitched. (+£0)
ii.) Half hand-stitched. (+£200)
iii.) Fully hand-stitched. (+£400)
Is fully hand-stitched significantly better than the other options?
Given a trade-off between fabric quality and stitching, which should I care more about?
Which is to be preferred:
Cheaper cloth + Fully hand-stitched
or
Medium priced cloth + Half hand-stitched
or
Top quality cloth + Machine stitched.
My goal is to have a suit that fits almost perfectly, and looks the best it can.
I know very little about suits.
Thank you.
