Probably nth outstanding. How much are they charging you?
Fwiw part of the Charvet crew worked for E-Rave
For Charvet they charged around 8K for a two-piece suit in the Reda fabrics. May I know if it is bad if they worked for E-Rave?

I have not yet visited FABS yet so I am not sure what their price is. I see quite some good reviews or comments on Google but they were not talked about in this post.

I am planning to make one or two sport jackets and is exploring any good tailors. How about Coller.? Anyone has experience with them?

Hi all, I am planning to get some oxford shirts made at the Anthology, and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on whether it is worth spending more (about 50% more) for Thomas Mason or other branded fabric? Or is the house fabric a good starting point? Thanks!

Does anyone here have experience with getting shirts made by them in general, and OCBDs in particular? Most importantly, how is the collar roll?

I (obviously) can't answer the question about their house fabric, but I like Thomas Mason Silverline oxfords. They are more on the slightly dressy (fine, smooth) rather than the casual (chunky, coarse) side of the oxford spectrum.

E-Rave is to Charvet what apples are to oranges. The clientele is probably quite different.

I wouldn't recommend Reda. Too flimsy.

No experience with FABS either but Coller -- nope. Just nope. Have the crew show you the full-canvas structure of your jackets and you'll get why.

Hi. Looking for a tuxedo, and I am considering Prologue MTO. I have not tried any of their product before, but like the aesthetic.

Does anyone happen to own suits from both Prologue and Spier & Mackay, and can compare the fit of the jackets and trousers?

Thanks!

Does anybody have experience with Jantzen Tailor for suits? Most things I’ve heard is about shirts (including @shirtingfantasy review of their handmade shirt), but I don’t recall anything about suits over the last few years. If anyone has direct experience, it would be great to know. Thanks

Last time i was there I wasn't impressed with their suits. Look a bit tight to me but handmade details seemed ok ish

Both are factory products so honestly I'd just go with whichever is cheaper

I wouldn’t go that far, if aesthetic is the concern stick with that, I find Spier Mackay RTW never nail the balance (as far as where button point is vs jacket length) quite right (not a factory issue more on how they work design their pattern).

Don’t know about Prologue but go with what please your eye I suppose (personally based what I have seen I like Anthology the best, I order from Taipei though)

Edit: and my friend has both Prologue and Anthology and he prefer Prologue, ie so definitely pick whatever your eye think looks better

And my Anthology MTM, it’s actual green is darker (ps this is Anthology Taiwan rather than HK, which tends to be more workwear in TW but at least for jacket I think they do the same way)

linen, stay with 3 button, think 2 or 1 is still too much novelty for me
