I have seen and read the other threads on those who have purchased a Baron Boutique suit. Overall it seems that it is a good deal, however you are still getting what you pay for. I just can't shake the desire to designe my own suit. Also where is one to find a 3 piece, 2 button, peak lapel suit without blowing the bank?

My question is what sort of details should I request from them. What is the best way to acheive a decent fit, and are their some fabrics that other would or would not recoment (I need it in boring old black for a wedding party, so the least I can do is get one styled the way I like)?

Is there in particular I should request it to be canvased with (horse hair)? I like a semi-structured jacket and shoulders. What is the best way to get that from them?

What I know so far:
-get it fully canvased
-get the onyx buttons
-don't request slim fit

Any help would be appreciated.

Run, don't walk, as far away from Baron Boutiquie as you can!!!!!!! Trust me, and don't be pesuaded by JOVAN !!!!!!

If you're in doubt, do thorough reseach before you spend your money.

Is this personal experience? I have seen that Jovan is a big fan. I have looked on here and Ask Andy for info on Baron's. So you think I should go with a good e-bay find instead?

Yes Mr. Clark, this is from my own personal experience. I might recommend one of the Hong Kong tailors. I would probably recommend MyTailor.com. Joe's firm, does excellent work. Also, I might suggest Gino Tailors. Bob S. also does excellent work. Particulary his detailed lining work. Exceptional!!!!

Anywhere besides BaronBoutique! Trust me!!!

Why do you say this? From a personal experience you say, but details you lack.
