if i could get married again id do it in a nicely tailored Jcrew suit, some of the suit combos i come up on a fly now that i have a couple of ludlows completely blow out the water my BS suit i got from Mens Warehouse, wish i was more into this thread 3 years ago....
btw submitted some stuff to the blog...
Man can I relate to this so much. I've told this to so many people about getting married that I would something completely different. My suit's jacket was ventless...yea......
Steezy didn't know what he did then so he probably really liked the way he looked that day . While I do agree with your sentiment about splurging, since I wasn't sure if it was an option, I wanted to work within his budget. Even the suits at the higher end of his budget (SuitSupply, J. Crew) will require probably and additional $100-200 in tailoring.
Speaking of which, I'm not sure of your location, wedding date or suit size (they don't make larger than a 42) but Thick as Thieves is another made-to-measure (MTM) option: http://www.thickasthievesla.com/ . Per Scar's suggestion, if you tell us your location, maybe some members can offer you the names of MTM clothiers in your area.
I think $200 in alterations is a bit excessive, anything over $150 is I think too much.
I guess I was basing that on my tailor's prices, although you're right that $200 is high, even for my guy so you're right . It depends how it fits OTR but I think saying he should budget around $100 is probably reasonable?
