Custom Made Suit at an Affordable Price

Brendan, New York, NY asks
Question: I am from NYC and in need of a custom-made suit at an affordable price. Can you recommend good but an affordable custom made suits maker?

Answer:

To answer your question well it would be easier if you denoted how much you are willing to pay for your custom made suit. But we’ll give ourselves freedom to assume that thousand bucks for a good custom made suit is what your target is.

Good option for you would be to think about “made-to-measure” rather than “custom-made” suits that are usually very expensive. Other than difference in price “made-to-measure” suits differs from “custom-made” in that tailors use stock patterns modified to fit an individual customer. Because no individual pattern has to be made, prices are less.

One of the most affordable tailoring services in New York is “LS Men’s Clothing” (http://www.lsmensclothing.com/) with prices as low as $600 per suit from made-to-measure program. Name that keeps coming up in affordable custom made suits in NYC is “Mr Ned Inc” on 5th Avenue. Another high quality, but affordable tailor is Adrian Jules, 1392 East Ridge Road, Rochester, New York.
