NoKey is visiting his mother today and he called a little while ago to ask if I would like to go see Yamato. As [livejournal.com profile] anemoona had once seen them and was blown away, I jumped at the opportunity. So now we will visit them the day before my birthday. *big grin*

I'm going into a retry with ordering a custom-made suit. No, rest assured, I will never shop with CompanySuits again. My colleague Marc vH spoke about SuitYourself. And they're way cheaper than CompanySuits as well: only € 285,- for a suit of the cheapest variety of wool (jacket+pants) going up to € 365,- for the more expensive types of wool. This makes them about half as expensive as those guys who utterly failed to produce anything that fit me.

I'm quite torn between the camel twill they have on the site and the blue pinstriped wool... actually I'd like both, but I'm not sure which one will work as a 'test'-suit to see if they can deliver something that will fit me.
I've signed up for a meeting, so I'm curious to see when they'll contact me.

Where will you visit them?
They will be in Rotterdam in May, so that was a happy coincidence :-)

I'm sorry, in april they will be in Nijmegen, and we already have tickets (a birthdate pressie for Maurice ^_^).

I personally have several suits from http://www.tailormadesuits.nl/

They got this 'extreme suit deal', 2 suits, 4 shirts and 2 ties with 20% off, that's very nice. :)

Very slick!
Too bad they don't do women's suits. :(

Pinstripe is very much Powerdress of course! I have one pinstripe jacket which I always wear when I have to go to the Boss in Den Haag.

I'm seconding the pinstripe. Also, it might be fun at some point to find out your colour type so you can shop with a bit more of a focus. I've been meaning to get that done but I never got around to it.
