Suit Alterations

About

An excellent suit is the essential part of a wardrobe of a man. It is professional and personal style. But there is a kind of luck of having a suit that fits perfectly off the shop. Precise tailoring is the only difference between an ill-fitting suit that fits and a well-fitting suit that fits you. Our studio is important to suit the suits and produce near perfection clothes that seem to be worn like a second skin and are to display confidence and style.

Our session begins with an elaborate fitting session. You put on the suit and our tailor examines the shape of them on your person. We make sure that the key fit points are met: collar of your neck, how the fabric fits your shoulders and back, the length of sleeves and the line of trousers. We will hear you out about what you desire, be it a skinnier, trendier appearance or a more vintage and comfortable style and provide you with a concise roadmap.

We also provide numerous adjustments to suits:

For the Jacket:

Sleeve Length: we make the sleeve short to reveal a three-fourth inch of shirt.

Waist: We tuck in at the side slimming to get a V like shape and eliminating a boxy appearance.

Torso & Back: We trim off or shorten the jacket in the back to even it out.

Shoulder & Collar: In case of some suits we are able to make the shoulders narrower or mend the collar roll, although only after a thorough inspection.

For the Trousers:

Hemming: The length of the trouser we have is according to the break of your preference–no break, slight break, or complete break.

Tapering: We reduce the leg at its knee downwards to give a sharp appearance.

Waist and Seat: We grab or unbutton the waist and re-position the seat to a comfortable non-pulling, non-sagging fit.

The optimal aspect of our work is to ensure that the suit is strong. We understand how a jacket is made and make it through customization. All modifications are accurate such as reattaching lining and reinforcing weak areas. What happens is not only a changed shirt- it is a re-invested one. It gives you confidence with a suit that moves like you, comforts well and demonstrates a lean and clean look that people respect. Please, discover the ideal fit in your suit.

Here are some of the most common questions we receive about clothing alterations:

FAQ

Average time: Most custom dresses require 1-2 weeks; the time of a bridal gown can vary based on the level of difficulty and alterations. We will provide a definite schedule during your consultation.

Yes - we are bridal dress specialists, and those kinds of elaborate alterations, such as installing bustles and structural modifications.

Absolutely. We will be able to use your cloth or assist in finding the high-quality ones with reliable suppliers.

The prices will be different depending on complexity and materials. After a first session of consultation and measurement, we present itemised quotes.

Tailoring is an entirely custom practise. An exclusive paper is hand-written, depending on your actual measurements and posture, and can be personalised in any manner with respect to style, cloth, and fit. Made-to-measure is a tailoring of a standard base pattern to your measurements, which does not give as much flexibility in silhouette as ready-to-wear, but provides a more customised fit.

In case of a new custom clothing, we tend to plan 2-4 fittings to make a gradual improvement of the fitting. With normal changes, a single fitting may be enough to hold the changes, then a last attempt of trying on to be certain of the changes being perfect.

It is easy to take clothes in, but it is only possible to take a garment out when there is enough excess cloth in the seams. In your consultation, we will consider the seam allowances and give you a fair judgment.

Absolutely. Our master tailors and seamstresses spend all their life working with a great variety of materials, both delicate silk chiffon and lace, and heavyweight leather and fur. We employ special methods and equipment that are used to produce the perfect outcome without destroying the fabric.

Depending on the complexity and time taken in performing a particular job, prices are set. A basic hemming service begins at a cheaper rate and more sophisticated restructurings such as acquiring a suit jacket are more complex. Our prices are clear and straightforward, and we do not give any surprises since we do not want to be caught unawares.

Please bring the shoes and under garment you will be wearing with the garment. This is essential in coming out with the right hem level, posture, and general silhouette. In case of suit fittings, take a shirt that you are going to wear.

We provide express services upon request in case of urgent changes. We will never lie on what is possible to do within a tight timeframe and will discuss possible ramification to the cost. Please call us as soon as you can get a slot.

Yes and we offer a complete list of repair services, such as zip-per repair, seam repair, patchwork repair and coat or jacket re-lining that returns the functionality and wearability to the pieces you hold dear.

Yes, we can. Most of our clients include inspiring photos or sketches of their own. These serve as a starting point to a consultation where we talk about how the design can be modified to suit your figure and be made reality with the help of the right fabrics and construction.

Any custom commission or large alteration order will need 50% deposit to start work on the project. The balance balance is payable on finishing fitting and collection. In case of smaller modification work, it is paid at once on completion.

We offer both options. Our selection of high-quality fabric swatches varies widely and we have a range of fabric swatches of famous mills. Alternatively, we welcome you to find your own fabric, and we are glad to advise on its appropriateness to your intended garment.

Every garment is given individual aftercare guidelines when collected. We usually suggest professional dry clean only in cases of need and steamer instead of ironing the clothes to preserve their integrity and shape, especially tailored suits and delicate objects.

We know that schedules are altered. We just require a minimum of 24 hours notice in order to rearrange or cancel a fitting appointment. This will enable us to give the slot to a different client. Bespoke project deposits are not refundable after pattern drafting or cutting of fabric has started.
