Sharp Dressed Man: Bespoke to "Suit" Your Budget

[Archronos]

There are some traveling tailors that do a decent job. WW Chan (Full canvas, bespoke, multiple fittings possible, cloths include loro, and zegna), and Raja Fashions (half canvas, made to measure).

That may be a better option for some members but how can they get in contact with these firms and where do these firms operate? And can cloth be confirmed as being from the textile mills they say they're from?

You can find their tour dates on their websites. WRT cloth, I might be suspicious of Raja, but in the end it's still a half-canvassed suit for $750 or so. This is also the company that fitted Tony Blair when it got out that somebody else in Labour had a $4k suit from Saville Row (and I think they've fitted Lakshmi Mittal before too). I know that some Congressmen have been fitted by Raja, but then again, they're just Congressmen. If you know what you want, wrt cut, cloth, vents, buttons, lapel, pockets, etc., it's a pretty good deal.

I'll be getting fitted by WW Chan in the coming year. I guess I can ask how I would be able to verify the cloth that my suit will be made of. I'm not really too worried about WW Chan though.

I really can't bring myself to by a fused suit unless it's at a good price. I know that nearly all of the suits at the local retailers are fused (including some Canalis, and the other major suit manufacturers). I remember asalesman at Nordstroms telling me that I wouldn't be able to find a canvassed suit for under $2,000, but he probably just wanted me to buy a fused suit for $800 to $1200.

These ASTF suits seem to be a pretty good deal. Sure beats paying 50% to 100%+ more for an off the rack suit.
