Just curious, what ballpark on prices at Falcone? Lower end of their fabric quality scale.

I'm struggling with off the rack suits now. Need to move up to made to measure/custom. MTM is more my price range I'm feeling.

There are no bespoke tailors in Louisiana (Luca Falcone is low-end, fused MTM, Manuel Martinez is either half- or full-canvas MTM).

Henry Poole is the only traveling tailor that visits Louisiana. I am not sure who the cutter is, which is important with Savile Row firms, and whether they change cutters from trip to trip.

Atlanta, Dallas, and Houston get substantially more traveling tailors. That adds another level of complexity to ordering.

Then, there are only a handful of bespoke tailors left in the U.S. - with only one or a small a handful worth trying.

Harper Jones. Very reasonably priced. Nice custom suits for as little as 1600. Higher end suits can get a bit pricier, but plenty of very nice styles for around $2500.
