Title: Hand made suits for cheap?
Post by: esgal on February 10, 2012, 04:52 am
I know that in some countries you can get a hand made suit out of almost any material youd like for very cheap (I think on the TV show "Top Gear" they were in Vietnam and got them made for only $70 each)

Is there anybody who could get me suits and have them shipped to the US?

This is an interesting idea. I need them for work, and who knows maybe worth the time?

yea :P if you watch the show its the episode where they all have to buy motorcycles and they get really weird colored suits

but the mark-ups are crazy, and someone has to have a connection from that area of the world

- do you mean custom tailored or just not mass produced in a factory?

...surely the postage would add 50-100% to the cost....?!

I realized after i put the thread up that i guess hand made isnt really a requirement, but i guess nice suits, custom made, not even necessarily tailored, but if i give a general size so that i can have it custom tailored at a tailor of my choosing.

I also realize that postage would add a lot to the cost...but even if I'm paying an extra even 100% for postage alone, from that amount of $70 (which it could be a good amount more and still have this be true) it would still cost a LOT less then what i might pay for a suit from a clothing store for a similar product.

for example, i just recently bought 2 new suits, and where i got them from was having a huge sale too, I still ended up paying over $600, for 2 suits made of wool...and i still had to take them to a tailor on top of that to get them more custom tailored for me...which was another decent chunk of money

There is this place you could try, the suits aren't super cheap but you get a completely custom made suit for around $400 and it is guarenteed to be perfect.

If it isn't to your liking they will either pay for the tailoring or you can ship it back to Asia and they will make a entirely new suit for no extra cost. My friend bought one and while not of the quality of a $2000 suit, it is still very nice, check them out the business called IndoChino.

They also have specials from time to time where suits cost under $300, here is the link:
