Timing is the question we hear most, especially from grooms and anyone with an event on the calendar. A custom suit is built for you, so it is not an off-the-shelf purchase, but it does not take as long as many people think.
Most custom orders take a few weeks from your first measurement to the final fitting.
The typical timeline
A standard custom order moves through a few clear stages:
- Consultation and measurements: about an hour, and it is free.
- Construction: your garment is made to your measurements and specifications.
- Final fitting: we check the fit and make any adjustments so it sits exactly right.
What can change the timeline
A few factors speed things up or slow them down:
- Fabric availability: house fabrics move faster than special orders.
- Complexity: a simple two-piece is quicker than a three-piece with extra detail.
- Season: wedding and holiday seasons are busier, so book earlier.
