Making a suit for my boyfriend right now, going for the 2nd (final?) fitting today! It's a bit of a gamble because it's really easy to get scammed or get a really crap suit but you can also get really good value here. Got quoted between 150 to 800$ depending on the fabric so we went for the cheapest 100% wool stuff which will be about 350 usd... I hope it turns out well, fingers crossed!

Edit: Jacket got better, pants got worse and now there's no time for touchups. Damn. We asked for skinnier pant legs last time and he made them too skinny. Guy knows what he's doing tho, didn't cut out the fabric so we'll probably widen them back up once we're home! Pretty happy with the result finally :) It might be just gimmicks but I was supper impressed by the little pen pocket on the inside!
