Before you buy a custom suit, here are major things you should know

  • Fabric is placed first
A suit can be made in a thousand different ways, but the final product is only as excellent as its raw materials. When designing your new bespoke suit, the most crucial decision you'll make is the fabric to choose. It determines not just how your suit looks and feels, but also how it performs and lasts over time. Anything with a synthetic blend should be avoided. For the optimum combination of luxury and durability, start with a 100 percent worsted wool from a reputable mill with a “super 110s-120s” thread count.

  • Nobody can be trusted
The harsh truth is that custom suits is a very shady profession because manufacturing begins after the sale is completed and most clients aren't well informed in the complexities of tailoring. In Southeast Asia, I've seen everything from counterfeit branded fabrics to "Made in USA" tags sewed onto jackets. The average time it takes to make a well-made hand-tailored suit is 40 hours. In the United States, the average expert tailor does not labor for less than $30-40 per hour... Let's say it's $35 per hour on average. That's a total of $1,600 in labor costs. Consult Men's Wardrobe Specialist in Vancouver for best advice. 

  • WHERE it's made vs. HOW it's made
Although the quality and attention to detail in overseas manufacture might vary widely from one factory to the next, enormous progress has been made in the last decade or two. As long as the person in charge of the production process is attentive, hardworking, and honest, “Made in China” does not imply that the product is of poor quality. I'll be writing an essay about the questions to ask to measure the level of tailoring quality... Keep an eye out for updates.

  • Before placing an order, make sure your physique is in good form

Wait until you've reached a steady weight that you're pleased with before investing in personalized apparel if you're planning any substantial physical alterations. Also, be sure it's a weight you'll be able to maintain.

An costly tailored suit will almost certainly be your finest motivation to stay in shape as an added bonus.

  • Make sure the fit is correct the first time
A good shop will retain a paper (or digital) pattern on file for you, tweaking it whenever they make you a new garment or adjust one of your old ones. If you can afford it, upgrade to a "higher level" that includes additional fits for your initial suit. Once you've nailed down your pattern, you shouldn't have to do it again, and future orders should be a breeze.

  • Take good care of your assets
Inquire with your tailor about how to properly care for your garment. Dry cleaning your suits as little as possible is a good rule of thumb (only when their physically dirty from spills or sweat). Dry cleaning is a chemical process that gradually erodes fabric by scraping away the top layer.

  • Keep your expectations in check
A new suit won't make you appear like George Clooney unless you already look like George Clooney. Also, avoid chasing wrinkles. On a stationary, standing body, the outfit is made to look perfect. All bets are off as soon as you start moving, and the suit will crinkle and wrinkle. It's not magic; it's fabric. When it comes to comfort, there are trade-offs if you desire an extremely slender style. You'll be aware of the outfit and lose some range of motion. There may be a brief time of adjustment if you are not used to slim tailoring. Keep in mind that the only option to make it "roomier" is to make it bigger, which will cause it to lose some shape. In my instance, I enjoy the feel of my jackets against my skin. The sensation of being "trapped."

  4 Things To Consider When Buying Your First Custom Suit Men Custom Suits It might be nerve-wracking to go on your first job interview. You should not wear anything inappropriate during the interview. There is just one thing that a man should wear: a suit. There's a distinction to be made between purchasing a single suit for an interview and purchasing an entire suit wardrobe once the employment has begun. Consider a first suit to be a springboard, providing the appropriate appearance to shine in an interview while not generating an impression on its own. Standing out in an interview suit is the last thing you want to do. When looking for the best interview suit, keep the following points in mind: - Colors and Patterns: Two buttons, no pinstripes, blue or medium to dark grey. For interviews, black is too official, while earth tones are too informal. The professional standard is a two-button suit. Though three-button and one-button suits are common, they should only be considered i...
