Overview

The creator documents his entire experience of getting a bespoke Italian tuxedo made in Milan. He is welcomed by the tailor, explains he wants a 'James Bond' suit, is shown fabric options, gets his measurements taken with a 3D body scanner, and learns about the family's history in tailoring, including their use of a 1926 sewing machine. The video concludes with the price reveal (€3,000), the creator receiving a gift of cufflinks, and a handshake to seal the deal.
