Really, as good as it gets by my limited experience. But... you will pay for it…read more I usually get my made-to-measure suits from Maxwell's. They run about $600 each. I have always been satisfied with Maxwell's, but I wanted to see the result of a true tailored suit, so off to Emil I went. It was one of those impulsive, you gotta get an amazing suit before you die kind of things, and the suit lives up to my expectations. It is the kind of garment that feels like you aren't wearing anything -- it is tailored that perfectly. My stunning 3 piece navy pinstripe suit from Emil ran $1250. He also allowed my to choose any tie in the store to go with my new suit, which amounted to a $150 Italian silk masterpiece. For me, at my stage it life, I will probably be going abck to Maxwell's, based solely on cost. But in the future, then the pocketbook allows, I will be back to add my my wardrobe. He truly is ``A man to know``.
