We are able to provide custom made suits exactly to your requirements but want to check if there is enough interest before opening a vendor account. There would be a variety of high-quality materials, such as pure cashmere, to choose from and each unit would be custom made to your exact size.
Each purchased suit would comprise of a package of something along the lines of:
1 x Suit Jacket
1 or 2 x Suit Pants
1 or 2 x Shirts
1 x Waistcoat
1 x Tie
Total price delivery would be in the region of 250 - 350 USD. Delivery with recorded mail would take about 2-3 weeks depending on your location.
-
interested. how are the working conditions in your factory?
-
Is the fabric real or is it high quality fakes?
-
can u post some pictures of the goods ?
-
I would buy quite a few once you prove your product. I'm in the market for more than a few suits lol.
-
Not bad - I'm assuming it's from one of those shops in Hong Kong or Asia that takes your custom measurements for a bespoke style suit?
I don't really wear suits that much any more, but that's not a bad deal - especially if the shirts are bespoke as well.

Would definitely be interested in more than a few of these depending on quality.

Yes, you are correct. All of the garments would be made by a professional experienced tailor. The materials used are NOT FAKE and you would have a massive choice of material choice + design. Pictures can be arranged when ready to open shop but for now I really want to see how much interest can be generated as I would not be making too much on them after production and multiple shipping costs.
If I could not manage to get rid of at least 15-30 suits a month then it would not really be worth it for myself or the min price would have to go from 250 to 300 -350 USD.
What kind of demand is there gonna be on these?
-

No factory involved, far more personal than that although the thought of myself running a sweatshop did make me laugh... :D
I promise that there is no illegal labor involved in the production. I would NOT tolerate it. No money is worth that mistake.
Whose interested in a 250-400 USD custom suit?
-
Don't custom suits require multiple fittings. I know for sure I had to go back to my tailor 3 times before my suit was finished ever completed ( this was done in Thailand)
-
I'm looking at picking up around 5-10 depending on the first order, the material choices available, and the ability to get it fully fitted locally.

Technically you are correct but so long as you provide us with very accurate measurements by going to a real, expensive tailor locally, get measured up and ultimately change your mind and leave with the details. Send these measurements over and then you should be fairly guaranteed of a good fit, however even if it is still slightly off you can easily get very cheap alterations made virtually anywhere. A clear picture of a random person who has a similar body type to yours would most likely help as well but I will need to check with my supplier. So ideally it will be a custom-made suit but potentially a made-to-order suit depending on whether minor adjustments are necessary.
We are currently waiting for the full material information. Vast amounts of options ranging from materials, pockets, cuffs and everything. Special hidden pockets could most likely be arranged if required. So in that sense it really will be a custom made suit! :-)
Do not expect any D & G or expensive labels put directly on your suit due to shipping issues. We can, however, provide them in a separate small package for extra cost and you can have add them on by yourself if you wish to. Also, do not expect to receive the suit in 1 week. It takes time to produce a good quality product and this particular tailor is always especially busy due to his good reputation. We will do our best to work out a time frame and cannot possibly see the process taking longer from order to delivery of 3-4 weeks - although that could be country dependent. We would hope for 2-3 weeks delivery and again should be with tracker.
Please continue to make interest known and potential order size. Discount prices would be available but these would have to be on quite large quantity - min of 10-15 as a preliminary guess. Update soon.

Would these be fully canvased, half canvased, or fused? High quality wool, or a blend? Cotton shirts? I'm very interested, but quality materials and construction are important to me. Would you be able to send out fabric samples for a small fee?

This...... I would gladly pay a small fee for all the swatches available with a nice rundown of all the suit options available.

If these are high quality and custom tailored, I'm in for 5.
If you could find a shoe and belt source also, I'd snatch those up at the same time.

I would be interested in buying anywhere between 1-5 depending on how content I am with the first order, I have a custom fitted tuxedo-suit and I love it but it cost me so much money and I can't even wear it every day, I want suits I can wear to meetings I have and to more events I attend so you have my interest at this moment.

Take your shitty issues elsewhere. You are not welcome here. I would not sell you 1000 suits @ $1000 a piece. Id rather burn them.

Nope. Sorry then your talking about providing counter-feit gear. Read what I said in the long post about shipping and designer labels. Plus only suits.
Somebody else mentioned belts - this should not be a problem. Shoes could be possible too but need to check.
"quality materials and construction are important to me. Would you be able to send out fabric samples for a small fee?"
Yes Im more than happy to offer fabric samples. Need to find a way of obtaining them so I can give bits and bobs to each of you. Not so easy to arrange without having 50full books sent my way and even still the popular ones will be all out in a week. Oh and quality is also our main priority. Suggestions welcome here?
EDIT: One thought I just had was to send out samples of our favorite high quality materials and send them to a couple of members who really know what they are talking about. But then again I imagine people will want to feel the fabrics themselves before buying but I guess with the initial feedback from the fabric samples it could work as then feedback would hopefully grow exponentially.
-
no i know, but like if i have the material ? or if i pay to get the material ?
you can customize say like a new york yankee cap out of like an old gucci bag i have ?
thanks anyway :)

No problem. Sorry cannot help with anything like that and personally Im more of a business man than a tailor so cannot advise. Interesting concept though and if I get a minute I run it past a few ppl.
I am surprised by all this interest though, it was not expected. Without looking,the numbers are almost in 20's of potential suits already I think.
-
Sorry Im tired and over complicating matters. The material samples will be easy to arrange for each of you individually and you could each receive a few different material types.
How many different types of materials would you like to see in the sample?
-
fuck yea i love custom suits
-
You should post up pictures of what you can get and people can hit you up for the samples they want.
-
^ IF you cannot post pictures for whatever reason, can you put up some listings on SR so we can order batches of sample fabric.

lmao.. like i would ever buy a suit of SR.....you must be mad,... I'll go to hugo boss or Armani or the salvation army...before i would buy a suit off silk road...

Yes listings of sample fabric will be take a little time. Sample fabrics ready to send in first two weeks of January. Then ideally start processing orders in the mid of January.
How many different fabrics would you like to see in the sample? 5 alright? Need to know as have to arrange for big batch of samples to be sent my way.
-
put me down for 1. if i like the way it fits i'll probably be back for a few more ;)
-
Personally, I'd rather see a listing where you list what you have and a price for 5 posted, then we request which 5 we'd like. Hope this makes sense.

So are you saying that some people would be willing to order without the sample fabrics or I am I mistaken?
Where can I upload a few pictures of a few suits on figurines to give you an example of what I can provide?
Arrangements for sample fabrics and much more information coming in a day or two. Its actually possible that we might be able to be up and within 1-2 weeks!
-
What I'm saying is you either make ala-carte listings for each fabric you have, or have a listing that works like we buy a listing of five sample fabrics or textures and e-mail you about what specifically we want, or, you can sell batches of three related type fabrics.
Pictures of actual product would be worth a lot more than pictures ripped off Amazon :)

Let me get the pictures first and then you can decide if you think they are from Amazon :-)
Great idea about the fabrics! I now understand and I think will go with something along those lines.
Just waiting on pictures and to arrange need to arrange a shipment of lots of sample fabrics etc. We will then be ready to go!
TIME SCHEDULE:
1 week from now - Should have full information of types of suits etc
2-3 weeks from now - Should have the fabric samples ready to send.

Can you give me details of what measurements need to be taken? and how many cm to allow for downsizing? - (I plan to put on weight, but for now, I don't want a baggy suit)
What style of suit can you make? Do these have names?
What kind of fabric do you have? Would be greatful if you could do a Google images search for fabric samples if you don't have any at hand

Fabric samples will be available. All the other questions you asked will be made available soon.

AND...the vendor account price just rose to $450! As a result we are thinking of taking our business over to BMR. Would you all be happy to purchase over there instead?
Easy to set up a buyer account (same as here) and uses escrow as well.
