Today I went to my family's friend, who is a local designer, to get measured for a suit.
He took out a Brioni catalogue so we could select a fabric for my suit.
We selected a fabric, and then he asked me a couple of questions (noth or peak, two button or double breasted, etc).
After he measured me, he said I was a 42 regular.
He has a tailor who works exclusively for him. But this suit will come already assembled and it will be modified by a tailor.
My question is: this is not bespoke... not even MTM. Did I waste my money? He gave me a good price and I trust him and his style. Since I needed the suit ASAP, I could not afford to wait for Mr. Chan to travel to the US. Maybe next time.
Thoughts?
