I don't know if that's a good idea or even possible.

never tried it, but if you are going custom tailored, you should let a tailor do it in person.

That's what I was thinking, but there are a bunch of sites out there that offer it. Apparently they have enough customers to stay in business.

As long as you make sure and get your measurements taken properly to use, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

You can probably get an online blow job while you wait.

Indochino.com has some that look awesome but the reviews are hit and miss. They work with you though to get it right.

That sounds like a horrible idea. I hope you know all of your measurements.

I have gotten a few suits from some operation called Mevana where you gotta meet this asian dude in a hotel room for measurements and to pick out your cloth. The whole process is a bit creepy, but you get a damn fine suit from Hong Kong.

YOu've got to be willing to do a little work on your end. Literally make sure it's right or you won't like it.

Would not.
Don't think it's possible unless you have a tailor measure you.
Just go to Banks. They generally offer pretty good deals on suits, and the tailoring has been spot on in my experience.

Never had a good experience with JosABanks tailoring. Get on yelp or angieslist and find the best local tailor.

Is there a massage involved? Happy ending?

No they don't. Maybe if you're a fat old man.
