Please note that this review was updated in a 2nd article.   Click here to see it!

Recently, I made a point to try out a MTM suit by Indochino, a custom suiting and shirt company started in 2007.  I have seen other reviews of this service by Articles of Style, Dappered, and even the Young and Fine Gentleman.   To try it out for myself, I saved up a couple hundred bucks and purchased a suit, made from the measurements I provided.

Kudos to these guys for being able to look stylish and professional, as they handed out resumes for potential jobs or advertised their business to the people in attendance.
