Any advice for good bespoke suit tailors in Chicago?Originally Posted by jascot
A friend recommended Nicholas Joseph, thoughts?
Thanks
FYI, Nick Joseph is MTM, but FWIW he's easy to work with and the final product is certainly worth the price.

Fair - meaning expensive to mortals, average to SFers, but very much worth it. Amazing fabric selection, old-school tailors. Great attention to detail. Owner is a great guy.

That sounds about right. I want to say closer to the $3K end of that spectrum, but don't quote me on that. Has anyone had anything made up by Nick Nikiforos? His website suggests he does some custom work.

1. Always been very pleased with DeLouice on NorthAve.Originally Posted by miomall1
2. The two suits I got from Nicholas Joseph are unwearable. Going with NJ resulted in a long and miserable experience.
What's the price point for DeLouice?

Does anyone know Giovanni Mazza?
In 1997 I drove across country and stopped by a suit resale place in Chicago. Can't remember the name... but I bought a well-made suit w/ an inside label that read "Custom Tailored by Giovvanni Mazza, Chicago." The guy who sold me the suit told me with a wink that it probably had been made for a Chicago mobster who died before he could pick it up.
