I read somewhere that RL Purple Label is going to begin doing MTM suits. Anyone else see this?

Any idea of the cost? Seeing as a RTW runs something like 3500+ USD, I'd assume it's a good bit higher? Seems like for too much more, you could get a plane ticket to England and have a bespoke suit made.

RL have been offering MTM Purple Label suits and shirts for quite some time. I don't recall the pricing, but you can assume a 10% to 15% surcharge over the RTW cost as a general rule. I believe twice per year, RL waives the surcharge. I think that deal may be offered currently until the end March.

I have used RL's MTM program for both blue label and purple label. I have been pleased with the results though I will admit I've used the services solely for details and cloth as I fit nearly perfect 38S OTR. Prices vary but opening prices are as follows:

BL: $1,280 and up for a two piece

PL: $4,250 and up for a two piece

I will say that upon my discovery of places like londonlounge I've leaned towards filling gaps in my wardrobe, gaps otherwise been filled by RLPL, with bespoke pieces from England and Italy and still use RLBL for its quality/value ratio.
