Need some advice about where to shop

[Doc4]

This is a great point, as I've not considered the custom or semi-custom route before. I'm all for quality that lasts a lifetime over quantity. If I pick classic styles, I should be set for years.

I had considered making that point. I've heard, though, that the first couple suits are not 'the best' as you are learning the ropes of bespoke, as it were, and the tailor is perfecting 'your' pattern.

I anticipate buying off the rack at first, and will take the opportunity to try different styles from different makers and see what works.
