I am going to EZE in about two weeks, and I got the idea in my head that it might be a good place to get a quality suit for cheap (combination of low labor costs and fashion-conscious people). Am I correct? If so, does anyone have any recommendations of tailors? I would absolutely love to have a bespoke suit (one totally cut and tailored to fit me), but my budget does not permit such things in the US of A.

Thanks for the help.
I got 2 suites custom made, about 2 years ago for $500. I don't remember the name of the shop, but I think I have it at home (I am work now). I'll repost later. The quality of one suite was quite good, but the other was a bit dissapointing. It required at least 5 days and I would reccomend multiple fittings to be sure they get it right. The material chosen has a lot to do with price of the suite. I was not able to afford the British cloths, and choose a more moderate Italian light weight wool.
