Only tailored suits I have I had done in Hong Kong before the turnover and right before I left the service. That was over 30 years ago.

Jackets still fit like a glove, but the pants need about 2 more inches in the waist (sigh)...

I had several made in Bahrain. $150 for top of the line material and craftsmanship. I have Armani, Gucci and Brooks Brothers patterns.

Do not despair. It is an indisputable scientific fact that trousers hanging in the closet shrink in the waist but not in the inseam. All of mine have.
