New Suit

Hola Everyone !

I have a quick question for anyone in Cali. I am planning to fly into Cali on Aug 13 for my nieces wedding the following Saturday. Instead of going to the Mens Warehouse for a suit, I was told awhile back thet getting a custom made suit was both inexpensive a well made suit. I am just wanting to know of any place in Cali I can get a suit made with a one weeks notice, the quality and the costs involved.
Thanks in advance..

Michael

PS: We will also be doing some house hunting and will post on our house hunting adventures when we return. Any suggestions for a good realtor ?

One week will be tough That's pretty fast turnaround time for a custom suit. One thing I'll advise is not to look for the cheapest bargain because there's a lot of bad tailoring here, too. You get a lot more bang for you buck getting what might be a $2,000 suit in the US for $400 than getting a $300 in the US suit for $100.

just make sure that the sign at the tailor's shop says "sastreria", not "castreria",
(sorry, I couldn't help it...a very old Colombian joke).
Cheers,
