All --
Can anyone recommend a good tailor in NYC or DC to do custom suits in the $600-1000 range? Or is that range too low to get custom?
Also, if I'm a 40R off the rack almost perfectly, is it worth getting custom suits? I've heard both arguments made strongly on this question.

1 - skip the custom suit route, in that range you wont get what you are looking for. Your much better off buying off the rack and having it tailored since your a 40r. I recommend the tailor on 1st ave & 9th street, I forgot their name but they totally get it - and are affordable.

I completely disagree, you can get 3 suits for $2k or less with better fabric, wider selection, perfect fit and free alterations, tailored to your specific body type and cut and look. If you are a perfect 40R who needs no tailoring then off-the-rack is okay, but you're still overpaying for Manhattan rents and 'brand name.'
