Tip No. 1: The first and foremost step is to select the right bespoke tailoring company. Your best bet is to find one that offers a wide range of high quality fabrics. High quality fabrics are expensive are hard to acquire so this way you are more assured of the company’s reliability and viability.
Tip No. 2: When choosing the fabric and color, don’t get too carried away. Pick a good quality fabric with a customary color that will never go out of style. Likewise for the lining, choose a contrasting color like black, white, blue or grey. You do not want to opt for red lining and regret later on.
Tip No. 3: For a bespoke suit, you will be offered the choice of functioning cuff buttons; where the standard design includes four with only two of them that needs to work. However, this is entirely the client’s choice.
Tip No. 4: Keep your personal style in mind for your custom-made suit. Make small notes of what you like in your suit; how many buttons, what kind of pleats, what type of pockets, etc. It’s your world, so you make all the decisions!
Tip No. 5: Fancy an Armani or Zegna? No problem, provide your tailor with a magazine clipping that caught your eye and ask for a suit that resembles that picture. A skillful tailor can replicate garments skillfully with an almost perfect accuracy. Guide your tailor with the modifications you would like, perhaps a different pocket area or a slimmer cut. They are there, listening.
Tip No. 6: Have a price range in mind and have a comfort zone in mind. The best part of a custom made suit is it is of a high quality fabric (normally fine wool); with a faultless fit and a price comparatively lower than an off-the-rack suit, so whatever the budget it will be a good investment.
