I'd like to know the opinions of anyone who's had a jacket or a suit made by Mackenzies in Piccadilly.

Their prices seem to be in line with the more reasonable end of the market (George Dyer, etc.) and I'm interested to hear about the quality of their service. I've found them to be very nice people to deal with while searching for fabric, but I've no knowledge of their jacketing skills.

I suppose they outsource...

Edit: I should say that I'm considering a Harris tweed jacket and perhaps a pair of trousers in the same cloth, or flannel, maybe.

Harris tweed is not suitable for trousers.
