Stylist / tailor for M2M wardrobe refresh?
And yes, that means I’d rather spend $10k on pieces and $10k making sure they are done right, than $20k all on clothes

Stylist / tailor for M2M wardrobe refresh?
Yes, that sounds about right. I’d start feeling bad pushing above $10k in stylist costs but that’s definitely a reasonable range

Stylist / tailor for M2M wardrobe refresh?
Kind of the same problem as my post - Bruce’s business model is charging for an item. I’m looking for a style+tailor consultant on an hourly rate, and I’m okay with a high rate if that’s what it takes

Bruce is almost what I want!
I’m looking for someone like Bruce except where I can work with any tailors I want and my “Bruce” gives them guidance

This is fine! Or not fine. I can decide when they quote me a rate. This thread is about FINDING that person

Stylist / tailor for M2M wardrobe refresh?
There are plenty of stylists at affordable price points. My budget is my wardrobe budget, not including the price of the stylist.
Like I mentioned in my posts, the problem is that normal stylists take you shopping and are OTR-focused instead of tailoring focused

Stylist / tailor for M2M wardrobe refresh?
Any tailor I go to won’t be a stylist.
I’m looking for a stylist who can give a tailor feedback on what to change. That may be a more succinct way to frame my ask here.

Stylist / tailor for M2M wardrobe refresh?
Son of a Tailor is like $50-100 for a t-shirt or polo.
A few different companies can do pants in the range of $100-500 depending on material
I’m sure plenty of pieces (sweaters for example?) will be OTR with tailoring
Why are we fixating on the budget? I have flex here, the budget is enough to get it done but not enough to move up to the “bespoke everything” level

Stylist / tailor for M2M wardrobe refresh?
I said my non-suit budget is $5-10k. And that doing full bespoke for everything (t-shirts, jeans, etc) would cost way more

I’ve looked into it extensively so I’m not sure what you’re getting at? I expect to be on 2-5K per suit for local MTM, that’s why it’s a separate budget

Planning to spend $5-10k on not-suits. TBD suit budget but definitely M2M price point.
Bespoke is way too much - would probably 10x the cost.
