Custom Suits/Tailor? Hey all,
I've reached the point in my life where I'd like to get a real, "nice" suit instead of off-the-racks at Macy's like I've had forever. Fortunately, a good buddy of mine is in the same boat so I don't have to shop alone!
However, we're both clueless on buying good suits. I read an excellent Reddit post a while back from a tailor, that basically said to find someone local that you like and let them help you.
Can anyone recommend any good tailors in the area? Any time i can do businesses locally rather than a chain is a win. Price range is probably sub $1000, not including shoes.

So i know you want to do locally, have you ever tried http://www.itailor.com/ ? I did them for my wedding and that suit was primo. I basically went to http://leestailors.com/ (in crabtree mall) tip'd em 20 bucks to get accurate measurements and then ordered online for 270 bucks shipped (when i priced the same fabric/styles it was 1 k at macys) Born and raised an raleigh totally appreciate you want to support the locals, but when you can save that much money you might want to rock out with your online shopping out.
