Hey guys,
I've done a search on this topic and am pulling up a lot of dated/conflicting information. So I figured I might try to get some information through a post. With the end of cool-biz approaching I'm looking at buying a couple of new suits for the next year. All of my current suits were bought in my home country so I don't have any experience buying suits in Japan. So here's what I'm wondering.
Does anyone have any positive/negative experiences with the following companies:
Azabu Tailor
Ginza Tailor
F-one
Ginza Global Style
I've narrowed it down to these 4 options so I'm looking for any information or anecdotes that will help me get it down to a couple of places I can visit.
I am 6'1, slim but have long arms so custom is a must. I have no interest in buying bespoke as these are work suits and I can get bespoke suits from my own tailor when I visit home. I'm basically after mid-range custom made suits with decent fabric. No synthetics and the ability to customize the garment (lapels, buttons, vents etc) would be welcome.
My main concerns are whether they can fit the suit properly and whether the people in the store are sales people or actually experienced in fittings. Wanting to spend 50,000- 150,000 yen each. Even better if I can get 2 for that.
Ginza Tailor custom seems like the safe option at 110,000 but I've seen a lot of people raving about Azabu and Ginza Global which would probably be 2/3rds of the price. So, if you have any experience or information please let me know! I appreciate it.
