If you have never ordered a custom suit, the first appointment can feel like a mystery. It should not. A good consultation is relaxed, informative, and free. Here is exactly what happens so you walk in knowing what to expect.
The whole appointment takes about an hour, and there is no pressure to buy.
The conversation
We start by talking about what you need: the occasion, how you will wear it, colors you like, and your budget. Bring photos or ideas if you have them. If you do not, that is fine, we will guide you.
Fabric and details
Next we look at fabrics in person, which is the part most people enjoy. You will see and feel the options, and we will recommend what suits the season and the occasion. Then we choose details: lapel, buttons, lining, and any extras like a vest or monogram.
Measurements
We take a full set of measurements and note posture and fit preferences so the garment is built to your body. We keep your measurements on file, which makes future orders simple.
How to prepare
A few things make the appointment smoother:
- Wear or bring a dress shirt and the shoes you plan to wear with the suit.
- Have your event date ready if you are working toward one.
- Come with questions. There is no such thing as a silly one.
