There are multiple Thai tailors that fly around to major US cities. They'll take your measurements, and then sit down and design a bunch of custom clothes for you.
Quality is amazing, fit is incredible, and the price is only 20-30% more than off the rack, but the clothes can last a decade+.
Sometimes the ancient solution (meet another person with a measuring tape) is the best one.

- mikepurvis 5mo agoFor dress clothes at least, Maxwell's is great. I have some of their shirts and a jacket and they all fit and feel great. They do tours and measure you in a hotel conference room: https://www.maxwellsclothiers.com/ https://www.maxwellsclothiers.com/

- leptons 5mo agoWhat is the ballpark, 20%-30% of a $20 shirt, or 20%-30% of a $200 shirt?
- com2kid 5mo agoIt has been a long time since I used the services, the shirts I got a decade ago are still good, but it was like $130 for a really nice shirt where I got to customize everything including the stitching and the buttons. I have one shirt where each button hole has contrast stitching around it, an absolute baller of a shirt. Even if they cost me $200 today it'd be worth it. They last so long and being able to define your exact own personal style feels great.
