Hi Simon,

Hi Simon. Great article as usual. Two questions.
1. How can you afford bespoke?
2. How can I dress well with (MTM or bespoke) on a budget?
1. Partly, I’m fairly well into my career and earn decent money now – I couldn’t have afforded anywhere near as much 10 years ago. And partly, prioritisation. I know people (particularly women) who buy even more clothing than me, but all cheap, and it doesn’t last. I also don’t really have expensive tastes in anything else.
2. Save up and buy quality, buy conservative styles that will last, and have a read of posts like ‘make a cheap suit look good‘
