Hi all,
I have gotten so much great info from this board i am determined to give some back this trip. Looking to get 3 suits made up and went to 2 different tailors today. Both contacts gotten from this forum.
Now my request was pretty simple - 3 normal suits with the same material (i checked the thread count and composition to make sure i was comparing apples with apples)
Went to Brisbane Tailor and was quoted 5 million for the 3 suits.
As a cost comparison I went to Janoko Tailor in Poppies 2 and the same 3 suits were 1.4 million.
Quite a difference!! I know some may argue that the quality may be different but I would argue that for the price Brisbane tailor was asking, I could go to Melbourne and buy a Hugo Boss suit at a clearance sale and get it tailored for not much more...
I had suits made at Janoko 8 years ago which are still fine today so I know the quality is good.
Hope this helps anyone looking at suits.
