Quick question for the OT suit gurus -- I just got all of the measurements professionally done by a top notch tailor. If I order a suit online with all the measurements, what's the likelihood I'll need to get it tailored?

And is suitsupply the current go to suit store?

I mean it will likely be passable, but you're going to need it tailored in person to fit you perfectly

Very likely

Places like Knot Standard will cover some of your tailoring costs if you aren't near one of their showrooms.

I just shelled out $500 to get a bunch of suits/dress shirts tailored. I was hoping to avoid shelling out more $ for tailoring

I figured that would be the answer, though

:pocketacesalert:

I have gotten suits from some Hong Kong company where these dudes measure you up here and send everything there. You only need it pressed when it gets sent to you.

Which company did you go with? How much did the suit end up running you? I'm looking into this option as well

Slightly better quality than suitsupply?

They travel around the country to measure people and you pick from hundreds of swatches. I think the suits were about $500 and if you get a few, they start throwing in all kinds of freebies.

Up to $75 for alterations. That's solid. How are the suits?

Do you ever have to get them altered upon arrival?

I have two from separate orders and am very pleased. You can normally get them for about $400. A friend has ordered 2 as well and been pleased.

I also have a suit supply suit in the London for which I don't think they make anymore. I like the suit better than the indochino but I tried 3 suits from suit supply and the other two were pretty skinny. I'm 6' 180 and a 40r. I like my clothes slim/tailored but the Washington and Napoli were far more trim than I was looking for.

Returns were a breeze with suit supply also. You can always order a few suits from them and check them out. Return if you don't like and order something custom like indochino.

What makes buying a suit online better than buying local? Is it only because of cost?
