Hi I've commissioned a two piece suit late last year as well as shirts and chinos. In my opinion they provide really good value for the price they charge, with Faith handling most of the tailoring appointments.

In my many visits, they have always had no issues with multiple alterations, even if it is due to issues outside their control. I had fluctuated a lot in my weight but they had no hesitation suggesting areas they can alter the fit if I wanted.

I'm not sure if Ryan is still involved in the day to day running of the business, as I haven't seen him on premises. There have been rumors as to why that may be the case in previous iterations of this thread in case you are kaypoh but I didnt dare ask during my visits haha

FYI, the tailoring price list on their website is still accurate despite having stayed the same for quite awhile.

Hi guys, need some help here. I used to tailor suits pre covid, but now have gained weight/bulked up from gym, can't fit into them.

Was just asked to go on a work trip end of March, i think for my current role, probably will need suit 2 or 3 times a year only.

I am thinking to get a suit from Benjamin Barker for the time being, but i have short arms, just wondering if you guys have any recommendation to alter the jacket length? Saw some recommendations like Clancy?

Or any other recommendation to get OTR suits?

Would suggest you ask a tailor what kinda jacket sleeve can alter from the cuffs what kind only can alter from the shoulder. If the cuff don’t have don’t have that much excess, your alteration might be quite ex

If the sleeve has functional cuffs, ie those that can open, alterations is limited as you cannot cut much from the cuffs without cutting away the buttons, buttonholes etc

Alterations from the shoulder will be challenging and may not be possible unless the RTW left a lot of excess fabrics at the seams, which for cost reason, is unlikely. This is because the width of shoulder is normally widest nearer to shoulder, so cutting off will mean attaching a sleeve with bicep width to fit the shoulder armscye

Hi all, would love to hear your opinions.

I am looking to get 2 bespoke wedding suits. Decided to go this route as I have a wide shoulder and slim waist, but also not very tall, and most OTR outfits do not fit me. Some context as well, I did with red dot bespoke and suit commune polyester suits before when I was younger, but their style, fabrics, and construction are not to my preferences currently. Looking to go for something more mid-high end range for the wedding.

I prefer:
- italian style suit
- minimum or no shoulder pads and lining
- unconstructed (no canvassing), NOT FUSED
- wide lapels
- high waisted pants (ghurkas are nice)
- +-1k to 2.2k per suit
- Italian or english fabrics (I have seen and touched a few fabrics from loro piana, huddersfield, VBC, and paladino)
- Looking for 1 wool (ok w blends), and 1 bamboo (probably only huddersfield have it from my understanding)

I have narrowed the tailors down to the following.

- Assemble
- Madesuits
- Kayjen

Anyone who with experience with these tailors, would appreciate your opinions and thoughts. Am also open to checking out other tailors if they meet my preferences.

Partner had a suit made with Assemble post circuit breaker with their discount. Very pleasing experience. They didn’t recommend a huddersfield bamboo suit then because of how the fabric drapes.

No comments on tailors.They all have their pros and cons in comparison to one another.

Besides Huddersfield, Dormeuil also sells wool, bamboo, silk, linen fabric. However, I think only Huddersfield makes 100% bamboo Fabric.
Red dot bespoke has changed their workshop , likely to a Chinese one, so I think construction should be better in terms of more hand work stuff.However, they are still budget MTM with limited fabric choices.
Huddersfield bamboo III is a jacketing fabric…not a suiting fabric.
Unless your wedding is outdoors or beach type, unconstructed suit may be too casual for an indoor banquet.
Italian style also has northern and southern Italy differences in construction and style. Of the 3 tailors mentioned, I would think Made suit has house cut of the Roman or Neapolitan style matching your needs better. That doesn’t mean Assemble or Kayjen cannot do it, just that it isn’t their advertised house cut

based on your requirements for Italian or English fabrics and style, be prepared to pay at least $1500 per suit
