After years of helping our clients look their best, we have come up with some tips to help you prepare for your first fitting.
This is arguably the most important. All of our pieces are custom. That means it takes 3-6 weeks to finalize your clothing. We recommend stopping in to get fitted and design your clothing two months out from any specific events you had in mind.
A full sizing for a suit and shirt can take up to 90 minutes. There are a lot of options, and we want to make sure our clothiers help you get exactly what you want. Be prepared for it to take the full time if you want a hands-on approach to your clothing. After the initial sizing, future visits should take 15-30 minutes.
Is the suit for a specific event? For work? Does it need to be dressed up or down? Having a plan in place allows our clothiers to help you pick the best fabric for the intended use, or the best style. If it's for a wedding, bring along the colors. If it's for a day in the office, how dark/light is appropriate for daily use? Will you be wearing this out for a night on the town? The more you share about its intended use, the more we can get you the perfect piece.
The perfect fitting suit can make you look and feel as confident as you've ever been. Our clothiers can take your body size and make sure we are highlighting the parts you want us to, and hiding the parts you don't. Don't hesitate to share difficulties you have and let us help you overcome them with the proper fit.
It can be slightly overwhelming when you sit down with our clothiers to design your piece. There are hundreds of options. Just because you can choose a lot of features, you may not want to. Adding pops of color all over the stitching can seem great, but it limits coordination options down the road. Less is more when it comes to most cases of fashion. Let the fit and quality of the fabric speak to the bespoke nature of the clothing, not all the options on the clothing.
When ordering from us, we are taking a lot of measurements to fit perfectly. And if you are like most of us, our body sizes fluctuate depending on the time of year, or even time of day. We have the ability to make changes between suits. By micro adjusting each suit when ordered, we can make sure pieces always look great. We highly recommend ordering one piece of clothing at a time. Especially if you think you won't wear the suits regularly.
