So I've decided to pull the trigger on a Bison suit this year and I'm curious about how those of you that have gone this route have gone about getting all the measurements you need (like 30 of them?!?!) for them to make the suit. Did you try to take all of them yourself? Spousal assistance? Go to a local tailor? Men's Warehouse? Some other option I'm missing? If you are in the south 'burbs of Chicago and had a good experience with a tailor or any of the other ways mentioned, please share as I like to support local businesses when I can. Cheers!
bought a mithos suit about 3 years ago, measuring process was all done with their design guy on face time call with me. i had my wife taking measurements according to his instructions and we double measured all. it went really smoothly and the suit came out sick. having him looking at what we were doing and adjusting how we were taking measurements was key, suits are not cheap and having it fit wrong would suck. not sure how all that works with bison but if you can get that type of service it would be good. good luck.
pretty sure the owner of bison will be at acc memorial weekend. that would be a good time to get measured
OneX is where I bought my custom suit. They sent out detail instruction on how to measure and it worked out great. Suit showed up and fit very well!
