I'm 26 and looking to purchase my first bespoke suit. I want a navy, two button, side vent, notch lapel suit. I thought my heart was set on a piece by Thomas Mahon. Then I visited the Alan Flusser custom shop in New York. I loved their clothes. And I like the idea of having my tailor nearby (Mahon is in Cumbria, England).
So, a Flusser suit costs around $4500 and takes around two months to complete. A Mahon costs around $3800 and takes around six months to complete.
Do any of you have experience with either group? Which would you choose?
And here's a wildcard - A friend who owns a men's shop offered me my choice of off the rack Sartorio suit for $1,000 (normally $5,000). I'm torn!
