Guys, are Thick as Thieves $500 custom made suits worth it??

[KyleFuego]

are they worth the $500-600 price point?

i know one or two happy people on here have posted pics of themselves in their custom made suits from thick as thieves but are there any people who are NOT happy with their suit??

[Zwei]

That's the point of getting a custom suit, let the tailer custom it untill u are "happy"

Well that is not possible with this brand, so you may want to look into things being discussed before you chime in.

Go to Style Forum and read, there is a huge thread there with a whole bunch of info. The value seems good if it is the style you want.

i know nothing of this brand, but you're saying the suits are un-tailorable? doesnt seem like that great a value

[chronoaug]

You can still get it tailored. It's a fucking suit. Read the gigantic thread and email the guy who makes them. Suits are expensive. You're in for some trouble if you think $500 is too much for a custom order suit. I might grab a suit with my graduation money since i don't have one that fits me anymore. I just need to decide on a color and take some measurements

[nf one]

thats what i was thinking. the hell is un-tailorable. you can tailor a cat if you want to.

[dismalfuture]

He meant being able to have TaT redo it, which I don't think they do. They might do it once or something but from what I understand it's pretty much a one-time deal where you take your measurements and cross your fingers that what you get fits.

They look good for $500 suits, I might get one myself later. Besides the obvious points, I think one attractive factor in this is that Jason has a good idea of stylish suit looks and sort of acts as your virtual cutter. It's tough to find MTM shops who can give you stylish, aggressive cuts, as the vast majority of that industry is fairly stodgy. There's really no one else even offering stylish modern MTM for this price, or even double that. Makes me wonder how long he will keep selling at the $500 price point.

They're not really business suits, and apparently they look shit on anyone slightly overweight, but for what they are, I think they're a steal and a half.

[dizzhizz]

500 for a fully canvassed is quite a good deal and the reason for the somewhat high price tag is that he's paying full retail for his fabrics but the quality and cut is there for anyone interested in a slim fitting suit.

Just make sure you know your measurements prior to ordering or have Jason guide you through.

[m1sterko]

can you go to his la store and get it done there?

[Halifamous]

high price tag

This is the craziest thing I've heard in weeks.

For what you get, he's practically giving the suits away.

[RFKorp]

Seriously. there's nothing expensive about that price. A nice suit, even off the rack, can run you $1000 some places. And this is custom tailored and fully canvassed? Shit.

[josephr]

this is interesting to me because the $500 price tag seems to make people think that the quality can't be there. the reason the price is so low is that he's a manufacturer/retailer. if he were selling these to stores they would probably cost $1000-1200 because of additional markup.

[jskidder]

its a great deal for $500. you can't expect it to be perfect or to be comparable to stuff you see for $2K and up, but if you have reasonable expectations you should be very pleased. and if it isn't perfect it should be close enough to be able to have a local tailor tweak it to perfection quite easily.

[andreweezer]

I think the suits look pretty nice, but the way the sleeves are attached look kinda awkward on some of the suits.

[josephr]

what are you talking about andrewweezer

[andreweezer]

Some of the suits have a "sleeve pitch" problem, if you skim the thread on styleforum, you can see discussions about it. One of the guys who owns/runs it said it's one of the current to fix problems.

im not too informed about suits but can you explain what a sleeve pitch problem is/?

[josephr]

that is more of a fitting problem than anything inherently wrong with the suit i think.

here's thomas mahon talking about sleeve pitch.

[brissyboy]

I agree, some people were not too accurate with their measurements and the fit was not as spot on. If you look at some of the better fitting items they were pretty careful with the measurements and it has turned out looking really well.

[CharlesAlexander]

From what I hear they make very good quality suites. Especially for the price.
