I'm looking to get a custom suit made for a big event next month, and I keep hearing great things about Nu the Tailor. However, I'm not sure where he stands on modern fabrics or if he can accommodate specific measurements. Has anyone used his services recently, and if so, how was the overall experience from consultation to final fitting? I'm particularly concerned about the turnaround time, as I'm on a tight schedule. Any detailed feedback would be greatly appreciated before I book an appointment.

I had him do my wedding suit last year. It was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!

I used Nu a few months ago. He was fantastic with the modern wool blends I brought in. The consultation was thorough, and he really understood the drape I was looking for. The only thing to note is that the turnaround time was slightly longer than he initially quoted, so plan for extra time.

Short notice, tough luck.

Regarding the measurements, you really need to book a separate consultation just for that. Don't try to cram everything into the initial fitting. I found his team to be very accommodating, even with my unusual shoulder width. It was a seamless process from start to finish, and the final suit fit like a dream. I would definitely use him again.

Does he handle stretch fabrics well?

Yes, he is great with stretch. I used a technical blend for a networking event, and it moved naturally with me all night. He even suggested a lining that complemented the fabric perfectly. Overall, a 10/10 experience.

He's pricey, but worth it.

I found his pricing to be quite steep compared to some other local tailors, but I will admit the quality of the stitching and the attention to detail justify the cost. If budget is your primary concern, you might want to explore other options, but for sheer luxury and fit, Nu is hard to beat.

I had a terrible experience. The first fitting was rushed, and when I pointed out a slight unevenness in the lapel, they dismissed it. I ended up getting a suit that didn't fit correctly in the sleeves. Be careful.

Wow, that sounds rough. Did you try bringing up the issue with the head tailor, or did you just leave it at the main consultant?

The turnaround time was fine, maybe 4 weeks. Just make sure you confirm the final pickup date in writing.

I agree with the negative review here. I felt like I was being rushed through the whole process. I wish I had gone elsewhere. Maybe wait until he has better scheduling.

My experience was mixed. The consultation was great, and he knows his fabrics inside and out. However, the final fitting felt a little disorganized, and I had to push back on the final measurements myself. It was okay, but not flawless.

Definitely check out his portfolio online before booking. It gives a good idea of his style range.
