Getting a suit custom made

Trotter · 14-02-2011 11:28PM #1

Hey all, birthday is coming up as is the little one's christening so I'm thinking of getting a new suit made. I never had a suit like that before and if it was affordable I could get one that respects my little behind and my spare tyre like I do.

Any ideas how much it would cost and where I'd get it done?

Louis Copland? Depending on the suit, I'd guess 500 euro upwards?? Just s guess.

Hey T!

Check out www.suitopia.com - I've not used it myself, but it's gotten some good reviews. It could save you a small fortune compared to getting an actual bespoke suit (usually around €1000 and plenty upwards, you can get suits bought off the shelf and cut to size for between €300 and €800).

Hey Al,
Do you know of anyone who actually bought one of those? They look excellent!

I don't know anyone that's actually bought one, but anything I've read online seems to be really good!

As soon as I've a few expendable shillings, I'll give it a go, but would love to hear a result first!
