Whats the difference between a made to measure suit and a bespoke suit?

MTM: Consider the individual patterns for a size 42 jacket ... A MTM company takes these patterns and modifies them if your measurements are outside the range of what the 42 jacket was built to. e.g. The master tailor / house cutter will modify standardized patterns to take your body shape differences into account, like jacket length and shoulder width. Note that not all MTM companies do the same amount of modification - some have different thresholds for when to actually make adjustments to the original pattern, some skip important things like shoulder-padding, or armhole size. A good rough gauge is to see how many measurements they take. Some MTM outfits only run with 5-7 ... not a good sign. (Note that the accessibility of Computer-Aided-Design, CAD, has made it easier for MTM companies to close the gap between Bespoke on this point.)

Bespoke: A new pattern is created for each individual wearer. No modification or use of base patterns, as that could lead the tailor to miss some of the small nuances of the wearer's body. More than just measurements are needed to achieve this (what is the slope of the shoulder, the arch of the back, etc).

 

How long will it take to have my suit made?

It is advisable to allow six to eight weeks.

 

What is your house style?

We are known for the clean, slim silhouettes of our suits.

 

How many times will I need to visit you to have my suit made?

Customers need to visit us once or twice for fittings.

 

What is the process?

During your visit you will meet our customer adviser who will help you select your cloth and trimmings and discuss the style of suit that you would like. He will then take your measurements and give you an approximate completion date.

 

Do you hold some examples of your tailoring that I can try and look at before I order?

No, we are bespoke tailors and go off of body measurements and posture. We are building you a suit that feels like a second skin so we need to go from these measurements. Mostly having try on garments is for untrained tailors.

 

How many cloths do you hold that I can choose from?

We have samples of over 15,000 fine quality cloths of every style and weight.
