"The Dated Traditional Style" suit

[Barry]

I did a search to see if this was posted before and I don't think it was. Apologies in advance if this is a duplicate thread.

I've been looking for some new duds for the upcoming NY meet and I came across a suit on the www.mycustomclothing.com website. I am reluctant to use one of these mail order tailors but the description and photograph of the suit struck me as unusual for one of these outfits:

No.7601 - Dated traditional style two button peak lapel three peice suit with double breasted peak lapelled vest and high waist cuffed pleated pants Popularity:42

Hmm.

It's the bottom left photo:

Any thoughts?

Never mind, maybe. I read up on this company. Ah well

What did you come up with? No go?

Zach,

I found an old thread on "Ask Andy" that discussed another suit made by the same tailor. To their credit, the tailor did offer to correct some of the "issues" but there were some obvious mistakes on the suit. If I recall correctly some of the problems included buttons not lining up and "bubbles"/uneven stitching near seams. There were other issues too. It just seems to be a bit risky.
