Made to measure suits
« on: March 30, 2013, 09:05:48 AM »
Mrs Ticket's Brother in Law Steve is coming out in a couple of weeks, and he has an important wedding to attend in May, and he's taken it into his head that he can/should get a suit made whilst he is out here.  Firstly, are there tailors here who will do this, if so any recommendations and secondly what sort of price would he be expected to pay, yes I know that depends on cloth quality, cut, style etc. but a price guide would be good.

I would say that Steve is a big lad, both tall and 'stout' so he might struggle with Turkish sizes, which tend to run thin/anorexic!!, but if the made to measure idea does not work out what about an 'off the peg' with a range of sizes to suit the Gentlemen of Steve's stamp.  Again any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks

There is a tailor just on the one way road after the dodgy change guy over the road from pasha kebab he sends you to the shop to buy the cloth you want and then gives you a price to make the suit he is very good and very reasonable.

Thank you Lotty. As I said at the show, my suit was a surprise present from my wife Chris, I came home from the pub early on Wednesday night and found the suit on our bedroom floor !!
