One golden rule when wearing a suit is to wear something that properly fits you. Never lose, not too tight, but a suit that will sit just right on your shoulders and hug your body like it’s always meant to.

Ready-made suits are convenient and affordable, but if you’re preparing for something special, then you might want to consider getting a bespoke suit. It might not be the most ideal if you are impatient and pressed for time, but we promise you, it will all be worth it if you have prepared for it.

 

Want to buy a bespoke suit but don't know where to start? We have a friendly guide for you

What is a bespoke suit?

A bespoke suit is a suit made from scratch, created just for you. It’s crafted based on the specific measurements of your body, and you have the complete freedom to choose every single detail of the suit — from buttons to fabric to style and color. Its pattern is one of a kind, with every curve and measurement based on your specifications. It entails a detailed process, but having a bespoke suit means that you will get the exact suit that you’ve always imagined.

Why get a bespoke suit?

Suits off the rack may be good enough, but having a suit crafted just for you will give you the advantage of getting a piece that will flatter you best. It’s an investment — what with the time and the cost — but it’s something that you can always wear and feel confident in.

Tips for when buying a bespoke suit

Creating a bespoke suit may be overwhelming. With all the details that you need to decide on, it may be hard to make the right choices. Here are a few pointers that will hopefully help you in having a suit made for you.

Decide on a budget

Having a bespoke suit done will cost you more than something off the rack would, depending on your requirements and all the customization that you may request from your tailor. Deciding on a budget will give you an idea of the things that you can do and afford.

Choose your tailor

The tailor will be the artist to craft your suit. Make sure to choose someone you can trust and knows the style that you want. While patterns are unique, each tailor has their own taste when it comes to choosing a fit that will flatter your body. For instance, most British shops tend to cut with a larger allowance from your body, while Italian shops prefer lighter cloth and smaller allowances. These things are important when considering whom you’re working with as they essentially engineer what will be the outcome of your suit.

Research

Before hitting the tailor, make sure that you do enough research. Know which styles you like, which fabric you prefer, and which look you’d like to get. This way, you and your tailor can find your way around the process more easily and get the result that you are envisioning.

Avoid trends

Sure, you’d love to get a trendy suit, but bespoke ones are an investment and it would be best to choose something classic that you’ll get to wear over and over. You don’t want to shove all your hard work into the closet some time later just because it no longer fits the latest style.
