Here's a useful Christmas gift idea for your partner. An affordable, high-quality, tailor-made suit that fits him perfectly.

Russell Smith says the made to measure suit is no longer an absurd luxury. Tailoring shops are springing up everywhere and if you can find a good tailor in your city, your suit can fit you perfectly, be of excellent quality and maybe still cost much less than an off-the-rack Hugo Boss.

He recommends an online company called Indochino.com. They show you how to take your own measurements and then ask you to pick your suit style and color. The prices are astoundingly low, they start at $199 for an all-wool two-button charcoal.
