We aren't all enamored. There is a tiny but loyal group of Samuelsohn fans here -- the best value in MTM, IMO. Great for people who don't feel like paying an extra $1100 for extremely obscure sartorial details nobody will ever see.

I get that, but have you had a SUIT made at Nordies?

Apologies in stitches, I'm not trying to hijack your thread... I like Samuelsohn as well. I've been thinking about THIS odd jacket for a week or two already: Camel Hair Sportcoat by Samuelsohn - Tan Crowsfoot:

$995.00 from O'Connells

havent had a suit made only had them adjust suits i bought there and based on the work they have done i dont think i would spend mtm money there also i understand there are diff levels of nordstrom based on socioeconomical and geographical considerations and i have a "B" grade store here in baltimore

Well, I can definitely recommend the Nordies at Tysons. Pentagon City is pretty good, too. The closest store to me is Montgomery Mall, and my suit-gal left.

I don't really follow your logic here. I don't see how the quality of work of whoever your local Nordstroms uses for alterations has any bearing whatsoever on the expectation of quality from Samuelsohn MTM sold through Nordstroms.

i mean to say i wouldnt trust them to take my measurements and translate them properly and if there was an error i think they might leave me to hold the bag. now if a tailor from samuelsohn was there to do the fitting that would be different

Try Cad & the Dandy then. You can order from them online, if you wish.
