Go to Thailand. NO joke. I've had several Bespoke suits made by trained craftsman in Italy. I have one made out of Itailian Lanificio Ermenegildo Zegna fabric that is outstanding. $750 for both pieces and came with 2 ties they threw in to the deal! It rivals my Roberto Revilla suit Bespoke out of London that ran me $3600. Bespoke tailored shirts will run you $45 with custom stitch patterns for the buttons with color thread if you wish. Again, pick your own fabric. You will be very pleased indeed.

We start off essentially like a made to measure arrangement, but soon I know what kind of action they prefer, the "feel" of the cork handle or even the overall aesthetic ("blinginess"). Alongside the standard features in rods that I wholesale to brokers.
