Designed to exceed your style aspirations and perfectly cut to your proportions, a custom garment is a true extension of who you are. All it takes is 60 minutes to design a suit unlike any other.
First thing’s first: we want to know why you’ve walked in to our studio and what you want to look like.
Landed a promotion and need a new suit?
Have a special event coming up?
Or do you want to work with tailors who share your obsession with details?
Once we know the reason for the garment, we follow a five-step process to guide your selections and personalise your look. This process is based on everything we have learned about garment construction since 1999, and is what sets us apart.
To get the fabric selection right, we narrow down your options by colours that enhance your complexion, texture that accentuates the shape of the suit and cloth that is durable enough for the purpose of the garment. Finally, you select complementary finishes including buttons, cuffs and monogramming.
Custom clothes should move effortlessly with you – and that’s why this step is the most in-depth. We take detailed measurements, paying attention to proportion, length and balance. Then once you are measured up, we test the fit against your natural movements to create the basis of your pattern.
At our adjoining alterations studio, many repairs we perform are due to incorrect care. To ensure this doesn’t happen to you, we explain storage, dry cleaning (you can overdo it), ironing and letting your garments breathe. You don’t have to remember all this, because we give you a copy of The Suit Book that outlines these details too.
With your measurements and style preferences on file, building out your wardrobe is a straightforward task. With the right mix of garments for different occasions – all in complementary styles and colours – getting dressed becomes simple and one of the most enjoyable parts of each day.
"Outstanding custom suit and tailoring…
Having trusted them with my alterations for a while, I decided to try their custom-made service and was not disappointed with their ability to deliver. Clare’s expertise and care given to helping me customise (from a large selection of options) and find the right cut and fabric to fit me perfectly was unrivalled.
Also with a few fittings, it guaranteed a great fit that provided not only a professional result but also gave me outstanding confidence in the suit. Would recommend to anyone looking to add an impressive suit to their wardrobe."
We’re here to help you design a suit that you’ll never tire of wearing, because it’s exclusively yours and made to last. Book an appointment to get started.
