I couldn’t be happier to hear the unbelievable amount of requests for the suit maker from my post.  I got an email from the boss and she said we had to get the information out there asap because people wanted to know how it all works so here ya go….  Here’s the deal, the suit makers are  Master and Company and they are based in Hong Kong… They send the same tailor out to America twice a year and he’s incredible.  English is average, tape measure works perfect though so it doesn’t matter. You’ll swear there is no chance he is getting it right but I promise… HE’S THE MAN…Here’s how it works… You make an appointment for him to meet you anywhere you want..  home, office, wherever. He shows up (always on time) with books and books and books of swatches and you take your pick. There is so much material you’ll be blown away.  Whatever you want- pinstripes, solid, window panes, average weight for all seasons, heavier material  or even wool for the cooler winters, or light material for the warm summers. You take your pick of patters, colors, buttons, where you want the pockets or what style, flat front or pleats, cuffs or no cuffs (it’s not 1989 so no cuffs and no pleats please- but it’s your money so you can do whatever you want)… WHATEVER YOU WANT, HE’LL DO IT. In fact, last year I was at Zegna and loved a suit that they had in the store. Almost pulled the trigger but knew “The Man” was coming 3 weeks later. Sure enough, he had the exact pattern that I saw in the store. I paid 1/3 of the price and it was made for me.  He measures you right there, and then takes pictures on his digital camera of you from all profiles so he knows your body type when he goes back and gets to work. Bottom Line…. about 6 weeks later a box shows up and your suits are ready to go.  If you’re impatient like me you can pay a little extra and you can get them faster. I’ve probably bought about 25 in the past 5 years and only once has there been an issue…. Somehow a miracle took place and I lost a couple pounds so all the suits were big. A quick trip to my tailor here and they were just right.  Not as easy if you go the other way so be careful! He is fantastic, reliable, and precise. Best part- the price is right, TRUST ME.  Next time we know he’s coming out we’ll send a post well ahead of time so you can make your appointments if you’d like. He usually comes in May and then again around October. I promise to let you know. Thanks for all the interest!
