Just came back from a fitting for an overcoat I ordered a couple months ago, was extremely nervous about how the fabric I chose from those tiny samples you get to see would translate into a coat. It turned out absolutely fantastic though, really looking forward to taking it home in a couple of weeks.

So happy with my purchase!

I don't get the hate cutaway collars receive on this board. Personally I like it when the shirt collar rolls under the jacket lapel, not leaving a gap between them as you so often see. I guess it's a matter of taste, though.

Having enough money to spend on something doesn't necessarily mean you can afford it. And most people would rather not pay $1500+ for a suit.

And how well a MTM/bespoke suit fits depends largely on how good the person taking the measurements is. I've had OTR suits that fit better than MTM ones.

How many options when it comes to fabrics has nothing to do with a suit being bespoke. A bespoke suit is a suit that is cut entirely to your measurements and is unique in that sense, and you go through a fitting/period called "baste" in which the suit is stitched together very loosely so that major changes can be made (pic related). As opposed to a MTM suit where, after you've taken the measurements, selected the fabric and some details you get it mostly finished with only some minor alterations being made (taking in the back, shortening the sleeves etc.).

I have enough money to be able to buy a bespoke suit without it affecting my daily life at all, but I probably never will because it simply costs too much.
