NYC Bespoke Review

http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/shopping/87481/bespoke-suits/7.html

Related articles just under the main one give reviews on each tailor individually. Nice work? Seems a little pricey in some cases.

Not a one is a bespoke tailor.  At least, not in the true sense.  NYC has just a small handful of tailors left of varying levels of competence and integrity.

Re: NYC Bespoke Review

Well, I would prefer to see men dressed like that compared to the disheveled messes I associate with on a regular basis. That isn't custom but I don't know if it really means anything to Americans (Not only do the vast majority never get near true custom but as a culture there isn't a true idea of what that means. In the US, custom simply means whatever you want, there isn't a big appreciation for craftsmanship. Basically, custom to many Americans means get an off the rack suit in whatever style/cloth/minor details you want. And, as Mark says, in the absence of an abundance of custom tailors, I cant see what the difference is, especially when some actual custom tailors aren't all that good.

Anybody else here have the feeling these fellows would have been better turned out had they gone to Jos. A. Bank?
