$500 Jacket
$200 Waistcoat
$200 Trousers
Does not include wool. Thats another $350 depending on fabric. I think its worth it once you see the quality and how he has the style correctly made.

Thanks Johnny. My way cool tailor retired a few years ago. He's now 82, made me some killer suits over the years. So I'm in need of a good tailor!

I talked to him back in December but it looks like he's been either busy or offline since then. I ordered a suit back in early May and am still waiting on it. It seems that his order intake has really gone up this past year and he only recently committed to working this business full time, which makes the quality even more impressive in that context. He posted about a month ago saying he was going full time which he said would drop wait times. I'll post my suit here when it arrives, very excited regardless of the wait. He has phenomenal taste and I'd reccomend following his instinct in regards to cloth and details as one would with any tailor.
I also encourage talking with him about his other items, as he makes overcoats and shirts on top of suits. He also told me back in the summer that he's offering an unstructured line of suits for the warm weather, I haven't inquired further about it with him but I imagine it could be of interest. I'll probably order two suits and maybe even an overcoat depending on how my year end bonus shakes out. His clothes are really gems in a growing market of reproduction tailoring of less than stellar fit and make.

Thank you for sharing. I see my friend has a similar situation he ordered a three piece and an odd jacket around may still waiting. He is indeed a genius when it comes to authenticity of the garments. The wait is not that important now I don't know about you gentlemen but in our culture we get worried when someone goes missing or doesn't respond for three months.
