    Sorry if it has been mentioned already, but how much does a standard 2-piece run at Huey? I see his site says they start at $499, but is there quite a range in price for different fabrics and/or design elements?

    Umberto's Custom Tailors downtown is awesome. I'd highly recommend them for getting a suit or jacket made.

    Henry's. Reasonably priced and very good.

    I paid the big bucks to use Giovanni's in the past for a suit tailor and honestly wasn't that impressed, and it was ~$250 for some very minor alterations - for another ~$250 I can get a brand new full custom suit.

    Huey Lam Suits can tailor them for you. He's just up in Centre Street between 8 and 9 Avenue NW.

    I think $500 is the bare minimum you can spend (blended wool, polyester, cotton fabric).

    For $600-700 you get into a higher tier fabric like 100% wool and nicer fabric look and feel.

    Pretty much this, I think mine was 500-600$ in the end; there's a bunch of fabrics that are the base price and then there are some premium ones. Just depends which you like more but there were a lot of good options at both price levels.

    Probably for the best - the old place was super tiny and most of it was taken up by his drycelaning business. Did the job though.

    Thanks for the feedback, seems pretty in line with Suits by Curtis Eliot pricing.
