Having been pretty disappointed with the quality of my last few suits (both low-range el cheapos, and mid-range £200-£300 from Debenhams and the like), both in terms of styling and construction (I always have to sew buttons back on within the first few months) I started thinking about getting something tailor made.
Being a tight-fisted git, however, I don't want to spend a fortune. Has anyone tried the online guys, such as iTailor.co.uk? I just specced up a nice 3 piece job for £175, but of course there's no way of knowing if the material is really crappy, if it's a really poor job, etc, or whether it's just cheap because they're using child labour or whatever.
Reviews I've found range from great to terrible, although a lot are talking about the shirts, not the suits, and seeing as they're in Hong Kong or something the returns policy ain't golden. Part of me thinks it's worth the risk at that price anyway. Anyone used one of these guys and got recommendations / warnings?
INKSPE, CNCOTBAC, etc...
