Hi
Is there any interest in Bespoke Custom Tailored Suits?
My friend owns a very nice tailor shop here in Vietnam. He is from the USA and has been working with his tailors here in Vietnam for 15 years.
I have had 3 bespoke suits made by him in the last few years and they are definately the best quality suits I have (out of 12 suits I own) - all fully canvassed, no fused suits and the material choice is vast.
He has a range of cloths depending on your budget, ranging from Italian cloths to imported Holland and Sherry fabrics
He does not rush the suits, a suit will take 3 weeks to make. All you need to do is provide your measurements, he will provide a guide to measure or you go to an alteration shop and have them measure you up.
He works with a number of tailoring companies in the USA and UK, his suits are the equivilent of $2-5k suits in the USA (top end using Holland and Sherry). Everything can be customized, lining, working cuffs, pockets, embroidery, braces etc.
He ships a lot of suits abroad, made using measurements and photo only - he would estimate that only 1 in 10 suits ever need alterations and guarantees all work for 12 months. He pays $50 if any alterations are needed.
PM if you have any questions, the shipping cost is $35 - no problems with Customs.
I have pursueded him to test the boat and to try accepting Bitcoins, I would love it if even one person bought a bespoke suit from him using Bitcoin.
PricesHis suits start at $600 which includes a fully canvassed suit using Italian wool/silk/Polyester (70/20/10) fabric with no customization (they choose the lining colors, buttons - no working cuffs)
On average, you would be looking at $800 which includes Italian fabric wool silk mix (80/20), working cuffs, complete customizations - buttons, pockets, lining, embroidery etc...
Unless you were really wanting to splurge and get the finest fabrics in the world in which case it can be approximately $1800 using Holland and Sherry fabrics.
A suit made using Holland and Sherry fabrics would look as good as new in 20+ years. I own one of these and it is beautiful.
All of the suits are hand cut, hand canvassed and hand tailored - the tailors have been trained by Saville Row tailors. Its much easier if you emailed me a photo of a suit design you like and your budget and I can then obtain some fabrics to email over to you that are in your price range.
