stop posting Wilmslowesque posts, use your (albeit limited) noggin and get a life.

HTH

But if you are serious and really don't have a clue, which seems likely, then get it made at any reputable Savile Row tailor

Yeah, yeah, yeah, your chosen persona is COCK. How's that working for you in the real world..

Not quite an old Savile Row firm but very competent all the same.
Plus they'll come and see you. You get 3 fittings and a perfect suit.

Yes the problem is I am not a standard shape. 6 feet 5 with 48 inch chest and 35 inch waist. So Paul Smith is a no-go.

I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a tailor and go through the process.

I was thinking about Crombie, I like the style and they do tailoring of made-to-measure suits.

Has anyone had any experience???

That bit of info makes all the difference..

You could ask this guy who his tailor is

Ok maybe not, but it did when I went to Paul Smith HQ in Lace Market a couple of years ago and I was laughed out of the shop because I wasn't built of lolly pop sticks

Someone wants to know who your tailor is!

No - it really makes a difference... I wouldn't have suggested PS had you told us earlier...
