MADE TO MEASURE TAILORING FOR MEN
A tailored suit built from your measurements, at a price point below full bespoke. The fastest route to a suit that actually fits.
You know off-the-peg does not fit. But you are not sure bespoke is for you, or you do not want to wait 8 weeks, or your budget says not right now. That is where made-to-measure comes in.
Made-to-measure starts with a base pattern and adjusts it to your body. We take your measurements, you pick the cloth and the details, and we build the suit to your size. It is not a stock suit altered after the fact. It is cut for you from the start, just from an adjusted pattern rather than one drawn from scratch.
The result is a suit that fits better than anything you will find on a rail, with your choice of cloth, lining, buttons and details. It is faster than bespoke, costs less than bespoke, and for many men, it is all they need.
Consultations in our Mayfair showroom, at home, or by video. Fittings also held in Manchester, Zurich and New York.
HOW MADE-TO-MEASURE WORKS
Your measurements, your cloth, your details. Built on an adjusted pattern for a faster turnaround.
The Process
You come in for a consultation. We talk about what you need the suit for, look at cloths, and take your measurements. From there, we adjust a base pattern to your body and send it for cutting. You come back for one fitting to check the fit, and we make any tweaks before final delivery.
The whole thing takes about 3 to 4 weeks. That is roughly half the time of a full bespoke suit.
What You Choose
You are not limited to what is on the rail. You choose the cloth from our full range. You choose the lining, the buttons, the lapel style, the pocket type, the trouser finish, and the details. The only difference from bespoke is the pattern. In bespoke, we draw it from scratch. In made-to-measure, we start with a base and adjust to your size.
How Many Fittings
One is standard for made-to-measure. In most cases, that is enough. If something needs more work, we will bring you back. We do not let a suit leave unless the fit is right.
BESPOKE VS MADE-TO-MEASURE
What is different, what is the same, and how to decide which is right for you.
What Is The Same
Both use cloths from the same mills. Both let you choose every detail. Both are cut to your measurements. Both are fitted in person by your tailor. The quality of the cloth and the finish is the same across both services. You are not getting a lesser product with made-to-measure. You are getting a different process.
What Is Different
In bespoke, we draw a unique pattern for your body from scratch. This gives the best possible fit, especially for men with unusual proportions, strong posture features, or very specific requirements. The pattern is yours and stays on file.
In made-to-measure, we start with a proven base pattern and adjust it to your measurements. This is faster and costs less, and for most body types it gives a fit that is very close to bespoke.
How To Decide
If you have a standard build and want a well-fitted suit at a good price with a faster turnaround, made-to-measure is a smart choice. If you have a harder-to-fit body, want the absolute best fit, or care deeply about construction details, bespoke is the way to go. Your tailor will be honest about which makes sense for you. There is no hard sell either way.
WHAT WE MAKE
Suits, jackets, trousers and waistcoats. In the same cloths and with the same detail choices as our bespoke range.
Suits
Two-piece and three-piece suits for business, events, and everyday wear. Single-breasted or double-breasted. You choose the cloth, the cut, and every detail. See our Business Attire page for style guidance on what works for the office.
Jackets and Blazers
A standalone jacket or blazer is one of the most popular made-to-measure orders. It works as the anchor piece for separates, smart casual, and weekend wear.
Trousers
Made-to-measure trousers on their own are a great starting point if you have never had anything tailored. You choose the cloth, the rise, the leg shape, and the waistband style. Once you feel the difference, you will want the jacket to match.
Waistcoats
A waistcoat as a standalone piece or as part of a three-piece suit. Same cloth choices and detail options as bespoke.
CLOTH AND DETAILS
Same mills, same range, same choices. The cloth does not change between bespoke and made-to-measure.
Cloth
We use the same cloth range for made-to-measure as we do for bespoke. Holland and Sherry, Dormeuil, Scabal, and others. Worsted wools for business. Flannels for autumn and winter. Lighter wools, linens and blends for summer. Your tailor will bring samples and help you pick.
Details
You choose the lapel style and width, the button type, the lining, the pocket style, the cuff buttons, and the trouser finish. You can add a monogram, a contrast buttonhole, or a personal touch to the lining. These are the same options you get with bespoke. The detail choices do not change.
WHO MADE-TO-MEASURE IS FOR
First-timers, busy professionals, men who want a better fit without the full bespoke timeline or price.
First-timers
If you have never had anything tailored before, made-to-measure is a good place to start. It is quicker, costs less, and gives you a feel for what a properly fitted suit is like. Many of our clients start with made-to-measure and move to bespoke later once they know what they want.
Busy Professionals
If you need a suit in 3 to 4 weeks rather than 8, made-to-measure gets you there. One fitting instead of two or three. Same cloth, same details, shorter timeline.
Budget-conscious Clients
Made-to-measure costs less than bespoke because the pattern work is simpler. If you want a well-fitted suit in a good cloth but your budget does not stretch to full bespoke right now, this is the option. Your tailor will talk through pricing at the consultation. No pressure. No judgement.
Men Who Need Multiples
If you need several suits at once, say for a new job or a wardrobe refresh, made-to-measure lets you build a rotation faster and at a lower cost per suit. You can always add a bespoke piece later for the occasions that matter most.
START WITH A CONSULTATION
Not sure whether you need bespoke or made-to-measure? That is fine. Book a consultation and your tailor will help you decide based on your body, your budget, and what you need the suit for. No pressure. Just honest advice.
