Been looking around at suits again. And came across The Wizard of Ahhs.
http://stores.ebay.com/The-Wizard-of-Aahs
He's gotten some rave reviews from some places like styleforum and askandy including a glowing review from Andy. The prices are awesome. Their cheapest suit are canvassed and not fused and supposedly come out of the same factories that other unnamed suit makers do.
My issue is that I am about a 46L depending on the suit maker. I'd feel more comfortable if I had a quality tailor I could trust. As such, I am just not sure I can pull the trigger with an online suit. That said, they seem to have a great return policy in case fitting is an issue and they do include all the measurements for their suits online.
Anyone have any experience with them?"Nobody listens to Turtle."-Turtlesigpic

I hate his pic on the website. He needs to lose that guido homepage. That being said, the styles look nice, at least at quick glance.
Im not sure I understand the online/tailor concern. Just buy the suit unaltered and then have it fitted locally. Coat sizes are fairly universal. If you go slim/euro fit, you might have to adjust up a size but other than that, a 46L should be a 46L, be it online or in person. Same with waist.
My impression overall of the site is that it is a suit equivalent to a shoe store like Aldo.....they sell brands that sound Italian, so you assume they must be really good. But the price indicates that the suits are probably not as good as you think. However, there is a nice intersection of style and quality.
Buying a suit is fun. Enjoy.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Speaking of bad suits, man Eric Davis looks like a clown on First Take today. His sleeves and lapel are a solid hunter green color and the rest of his jacket is patterned. He has a mandarin collar vest that nearly covers his shirt and tie which are salmon.
I can't even fathom how much he spent to look so bad."Nobody listens to Turtle."-Turtlesigpic

you know how they have all those professional skills clinics for students at law school? Why don't they offer one on "how to buy and wear a suit that fits"? I mean for goodness sake, guys, buy a belt and get a longer tie. Also, I know it's hard to believe, but your pant cuffs are not supposed to drag the sidewalk. Really.
