Generally, the suits I purchase can, in some cases, be ten years old or more. I may wear them over a period of five years or more without any evidence of wear or tear marring their appearance. Most of the suits and sportcoats I purchase come from well-respected brands such as Hickey Freeman , Brooks Brothers , and others that are favored by businessmen.
Generally, I rarely wear out a suit. It is far more likely that I become bored with it or it no longer fits. I recently retired a blue blazer that was worn repeatedly over a period of twenty-five years. It had not worn out. It no longer fit and started to look a bit dated. That led me to ask if the longevity of a suit as a measure of quality is nearly as important as some would claim.
My experience is that we become bored with our clothing long before it wears out. In fact, he considers the fashion longevity of a suit more relevant to its lifespan than its construction. In essence, our taste in clothing will change before our suits wear out.
Spending more does not mean your suit will last longer. In fact, the details that often define high-priced luxury suits, such as surgeon cuffs, hand-sewn pick stitching, and exotic fabrics add nothing to a suits longevity. You can find well-made, durable suits by careful shopping without paying for luxury brands. A friend is in London about every 3 months for a week or more for work.
Do you think the shop could somehow work this out all the fittings, etc. I am about to attempt my first bespoke suit. I am having trouble finding a good bespoke tailor in Pgh.
Any suggestions? My budget is k. Who would you highly recommend in NYC for this budget. You could consider Samuel Baron and Tom James but I believe that they produce made-to-measure rather than fully bespoke suits. New York is a big one with lots of options. Great website! Thanks for the kind words!

As such, our definition of bespoke is as follows: A bespoke garment is one that has been crafted almost entirely by hand based on a pattern made exclusively for the customer by a skilled cutter.
Fittings: Why So Many? With that said, these three are the most common: Scrap Fitting second fitting : This fitting serves as a first test for the paper pattern that the cutter created. At this stage, anything and everything is adjustable. Basted Fitting: A mid-stage fitting that takes place a few weeks after the scrap fitting, your fabric has been assembled by hand at this point, using white basting thread. Everything is still adjustable at this stage. Emilio February 21, at pm - Reply.

This is a problem for men who love bespoke tailoring but are unwilling, or unable, to pay retail for it. For some of these buyers, traveling halfway around the world is not too much trouble to get what they want.

You're bypassing the middleman and buying direct. It's just a fun experience. In between fittings, you spend your time on the beach. There are other ways to sidestep the premium price of bespoke tailoring too, according to Zoldan.
