This makes me want to sew men's clothing

I came across this blog (love the name and font!), which has really made me want to learn how to sew men's clothing:

This handsome gentleman is a professional wardrobe consultant who has a knee-weakeningly amazing closet.  Some of his posts might not be of much use to the average man (such as what tuxedo weight should be worn on a  late summer evening), but most (like how to pull off a suit without socks), are quite relevant.

Right now there are too many of my own items that I'd like to complete (so selfish, I know!  But I'm not buying anything for a year!) - and I have way too much learning to do before I can move on to tailoring - but I'd love to sew men's clothing in the future.  However, Saville Row tailors spend a lifetime learning how to produce suits and dress shirts. Is learning how to sew fine men's clothing realistic? Have you tried sewing men's clothing with any success?
