"Clothes and manners do not make the man; but when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance" Quote by Arthur Ashe - Athlete, 1943 -1993 Bespoke suits provide the level of attention to detail that can only be associated with expert craftsmanship. A bespoke suit will require some commitment on your behalf but the final cut and finish of the suit will be exemplary and worth the wait.
Cost A bespoke suit does not come cheap, nor should it. It is a true craft, highly skilled and uses the finest fabrics. Prices are a reflection of this. The price range for a handmade suit ranges generally between £1,500 and £4,500, with a bespoke suit from a top designer costing in excess of £15,000. Fittings The actual process of acquiring a bespoke suit is simpler than many assume. A Tailor needs to see the client at least twice for fitting. The initial fitting session involves virtually every inch of the clients body being measured. Following this initial fitting you can expect to have to meet the Tailor six to eight weeks later for any adjustments that are necessary. Again depending on the approach of the Tailor and on the specifics of your demands, further fittings may be necessary. Custom Suits Custom suits are based on the specifics of the customer combined with the Tailors skills at cutting and sewing. These are one off pieces, made from scratch that truly reflect the personality of the client and of course are executed with the best material and Tailoring acumen. Made-to-measure Made-to-measure suits are based on an already existing pattern that is adapted to match the idiosyncrasies of a clients body shape and posture. The process is not as intensive as that adopted for custom suits and again the finish and cut of the suit will be magnificent. A made-to-measure suit usually weighs in at about half the cost of a custom suit. |
