I have been a long time and very happy customer of "Wizard of Aahs" While his name is silly, his suits are amazing. Most of the suits are Super 150's and the price points are extremely attractive. I get more compliments from my Wizard suits than I do my Canali and Hugo (only have 1 of each)...but either way, the wizard suits are amazing. Do a google search and you'll find his e/bay storefront. I prefer the Marco Valentino given I am a trim fit, but I'm sure the others are just as nice as well. Enjoy!
miss GQ over here :) lol
I mean thanks, great info, read it all.
A very well writen post. Fun to read.
I loved this, I wear a suit everyday and this opened my thoughts up to much more options when it seems so basic lol
Yes.. I'm bring back this thread about: A Suit That Fits!
I put money into it recently, it's looking for crowd funding so I'm a touch self serving :-)
Suit game has to be on point
very useful. Thxs

Seeing we are mentioning Bangkok - I will give a shout out to Saville Row (at the Rose Hotel) run by Aaron. They've been in the biz for decades, and are favourites of secret service types (can tailor a jacket to conceal a holster very well). I've bought several suits from them. Oldest is about 15 years old and still quite gorgeous and holding together perfectly. I have all my business shirts made there for about $30 a pop. They are made to my own design and they keep patterns and measurements on file so that they can remake perfectly. I'd suggest an initial fitting in person of course. They do regular tours through the US / Europe / Australia etc where they can measure you up. My wife also got her bridal dress made through them and it was absolutely stunning.

I have bought genuine fashion for approaching 5 decades now. I prefer Issey Miyake, Giuliano Fujiwara, Nicole Farhi, Katharine Hamnett, Jil Sander, Comme des Garcons, so my tastes don't often cross with posts like this or my friends' tastes.
But for casual stuff i do wear Reiss, Hugo, Stone Island, Paul Smith etc.
And when it comes to replicas it is really interesting, the parallels between fashion and horology.
I was at a wedding in NI recently and met a kid wearing a Christian Dior suit. Bought in Thailand for literally $13. He was convinced it was genuine, but grey market, and had just been pulled out of the production line and sent out of the back door.
As ever there are obvious tells when you know the industry. I was also wearing a Christian Dior suit.
On the bathroom scales, his jacket weighed 250g. Mine, 1800g.
As regards jackets concealing holsters, I think that is hilarious.
As regards fabrics holding together for 15 years; it's all a matter of storage. Nothing to do with initial quality.
And as for shirts made to your own design, I appreciate the post is 5-6 years old. Maybe the guy got shot by another guy over shirt design and din't even realize the other guy was carrying.
Definitely up to discuss fashion and tailoring but this thread wasn't it even in 2017.
