agreed, but that is still sharp as fuck for three-hundy. wish i could cop something half as decent for around the same. nice work.
banana republic has decent-looking suits for pretty cheap.

edit: just checked their website and the blazers are $250 and the pants $130. kinda steep when you add in the trip to the tailor.

i fuckin wanna hear more about this fuckin $300 suit ok?!

Here's the story behind the $300 suit;

The suit is pure bespoke, although I had the pants knocked off the Jil Simons trousers again with the same deletion of the Raf details. Zipper fly, less decorative stitching, conventionally flashed pockets.

The jacket was 100% bespoke, from no pattern. I had told the tailor I wanted something with a low button stance (that first button is on my navel), high armholes, slim arms. I'm about 80% on the fit of the jacket, the arms are really slim in person, because I told him to slim them down at the first fitting (I did two fittings). That is also why the backs of the sleeves and armpits are bunching weirdly, I guess he didnt adjust everything well after I had him adjust the sleeve width.

Korean tailors are really fond of extreme suppression in the jacket sides, I guess he didn't take into account that I'm extremely skinny and don't need the same suppression that these fat old barrel chested guys get.

I told him I wanted something slim, and I guess he may have also been thinking Dior Homme, while I was thinking more like Raf FW09/10.

The whole suit is Super 120's wool, a Korean-made grey flannel. It has a nice hand, a normal sheen, and drapes smoothly.

The jacket is full floating canvas, the cuffs are 3 working buttons each, I had the lapel hole deleted. 2 1/4" lapels. Very subtle pitckstitch on the jacket. Felted under the collar, which isn't normally done here. That's about all I asked for.

I've given the suit a test run outside for an hour or so, it broke necks, so I guess it fits nicely and looks good in the flesh.

The Korean won is trash money right now, so it was 500,000W, about $315, 325 nowadays. Last year it would've been like $550, but it was just a matter of the exchange rate being good for me.

I'm probably gonna make this same suit again, in a better fabric, in navy. I'll get the back of the sleeves/sleeve width sorted better next time, and get the jacket a bit wider in the sides. Maybe set the button stance even lower and go single button, and I think I'll have exactly what I want. For $300 again.

Banana Republic can't touch this, for any price.

I'm really impressed. Fully floated and functional buttons for even less than Thick as Thieves. Fit is great too. Do you think it would be possible for me to send in a TaT suit and have him cut a new one to the same dimensions? I've become a suit whore lately.
