Not to be a pill, but the suits in the photos don't fit the models at all! Some haven't even been pressed! Hire a stylist next time...

Doesn't speak very well to their attention to detail, which is pretty crucial when selling custom-fit suits.

I don't see why you'd be looking to NOT visit Thailand. My month long visit was the most pleasant trip I've ever taken. My (now) fiance spent 9 months there and loved every minute of it (OK, she missed me horribly, and I her, but she still loved being there).

I don't understand the headline at all. Plz advise...

edit: ok, got it

I think the headline refers to the cheapness of getting tailored suits in southeast asia. A couple of my friends were in China and they made sure to have suits made.

That's correct trefn. Most of my friends have, at one stage or another, done a Thailand trip and returned with many tailored suits (and shirts) (and ties) (and dvds).

One couple I know have even booked their next Thailand visit for the weeks before my wedding in September, just so he can show up with a new suit!

Who. Invested. In this!

Don't you remember? The suit is back!

Other than joshwa's comment below about the actual quality of the suit cuts, I don't see why this is an inherently bad idea.

What are you talking about? This is a great idea. Did you think Zappos (http://www.zappos.com/) was a bad idea? They're doing quite well.

I think there's a huge potential market for online retailing of specialty apparel items.
