I'm having a suit made at the moment by a shop here, the work is carried out in China. Full canvas with quite a bit of handwork. First time I've used this service, so I'm hoping for the best. The jackets and trousers I've seen have looked pretty good and the "dummy" jacket I tried on was a good fit, merely a bit of extra pad to one shoulder needed and a slightly higher button stance, otherwise very clean lines.
The only other services here on offer are Zegna, Canali and Corneliani made to measure.
Has anyone used any of these services or have thoughts on which would be the best to use? I'm leaning towards Canali but only because I have two OTR coats by them that I love.
There isn't a Bespoke tailor in Norway and my man in Blighty has retired.

I would go Canali out of the above, based on a past OTR jacket which I regretably got rid of when I went a bit mad in my root to branch de-Italianization of my wardrobe phase a few years back. Zegna reminds me too much of airports in the early to mid-2000s.
