Hello all,

I've relocated to Seattle and in need of a bespoke suit and shirt tailor. What are my options here?

Thank you very much! :D

He features an Italian style. Some great accessories for the Seattle area and his shop is worth a visit for that alone.

I stolled by and did some window shopping there, his syle is very nice. However, I hear that he out sources his suits. In other words, the suits are not sewn by him or his staff in house.

Shirts are definitely sent out. I would ask on the suits.

I spoke with Gian. He is a pleasant fellow.

Shirts are sent out. It sounded as if they are usually, but not always, sent out.

All other items are done in house by Gian's direct employee's, not sub-contractors.

Gian rarely does the suit making himself. He told me he is too busy to do so, but will for an extra price. I do believe he cuts the patterns and does the basting fittings, however.

That should clear up some questions.

A few of us have broken the TV addiction.
