After ordering a few suits/blazers and a tux from him in the past, I was brave enough to run through the ordering process for a new suit from him all via email correspondence. This order was a bit more complicated as my measurements were much different from previous orders so trying to get a tailor to take the measurements and then send them to him and make sure everything was copacetic was a bit nerve wracking since I'm up against a bit of a hard deadline for a wedding that we're attending in the near future.

But Bobby was great. Very patient. I'm cautiously optimistic and keeping my fingers crossed.
Thanks & Gig 'Em

Depends on material and a few other factors, but roughly $400-$450 is what I paid last time.

Does he do polo shirts? I'd like some Rhoback style shirts at a decent price.

Not that I'm aware of however he did make my wife some nice linen shirts by measuring one she brought in. So, I'd bring one that fits you well that you like and see what he can do.

How do his dress shirts compare to Charles Tyrwhitt fit/quality?

How about Chinos to Bonobos?

Thanks

Stateside? He live overseas or something? I'm always in need of a good suit and chinos.

Can't speak to the Chinos. But his shirts fit way better. You can also work with him where you can request a bit more room in the mid section or chest or any areas.

I recommend it. He's pretty good and his stuff is quality.

I haven't had the best success with jeans from Bobby

One was lol bad and he remade another set and they are now fine.

I would say buy ties/jeans elsewhere.

Chinos/slacks/blazers/suits/dress shirts it's hard to beat.

I've bought a few pairs of jeans and while they were nice, I found that Lucky Brand ones fit me better at less than half the price.

Edit: not sure how that emoji got there. I must be tired.

I've always wondered how to pronounce your username

Is it like Gumby?
Or like an exaggerated "come by"?

"Come by" is a Corps Term where you have an upperclassmen telling you "come by my room later to resolve this matter".

and then you would show up and they would privately smoke you out (put you through a set of physical exercises) to pay penance for whatever mistake you made. Usually reserved for Sophomore's who made mistakes but you don't want to call them out in front of the fish (because the fish need to think every Sophomore is perfect)

It can also be used as a joking term referencing the above but more so implied that it's a joke.

Just met with Bobby and ordered two sport coats. Super easy process, although lots of fabric and liner choices made decisions a little harder than I expected. If you go see him know that the courtyard by Marriott does not have visitor parking in the garage. You can park across from the front door in the loading/unloading spaces (green sign) . Just tell the person at the front desk what you are doing.

Went a couple years back on advice of this board as a lurker. No judgment hear but thought I'd throw out my 2 cents.

I really don't get the buzz on this guy. I liked the couple shirts I got but the pants are the worst I've ever bought (like worst than Steinmart type not just Bros A Bank crappy). So tight around my calves I can't wear boots with them.

Felt sketch just rolling into a hotel like I was doing hooker and blow things or something.

Again, I am an open minded fella and to each their own. But with the lax work clothes that was even more multiplied with covid I don't need too much true dress/ biz prof wardrobe as I did say circa 2013. I've decided the play for me is to buy the couple of work/biz pitch suites/attire on the high end and keep them for a long time.

I literally wear a suit maybe 2-5 times a year outside of weddings and that jazz.

Carry on. Just wanted to provide a diff perspective than most posters in case it's helpful.

ETA: fitting timing as I literally just got his bi annual text that HES BACK lol

I more or less agree.

Shirts, there are so many direct to consumer brands out there with a variety of fits that I've easily found brands I like better and they're cheaper.

Pants, I donated the jeans he made me. They were terrible. The chinos are better but still not great, and really more like slacks than chinos. Which isn't a big deal, but some weird things, like pockets that are 12" deep have them as my back ups. And again, with the amount of brands/companies out there, I have found better cheaper.

I do really like the blazer I have from him. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to him for a suit or blazer, but I will shop elsewhere for everything else.
