With the ease of online shopping in the modern world, made-to-measure suits can seem needlessly exorbitant and extravagant. However, despite this ease, and the variety of off-the-peg options, custom tailoring has seen its own resurgence.
When men wear suits, they want to feel classy and at the top of their game – and there is nothing like individualisation to bring this to the table. Made-to-measure gives you the confidence to know that your wardrobe looks good on you. Whether you are strutting down the street, entering a meeting or attending a wedding, a personalised suit measured to fit you will never let you down.
Here are our favourite reasons why you should be utilising made-to-measure; not only for formal occasions, but for every walk of life.
Every man is born physically different. Whether it be a difference in arm length, torso width, or shoulder breadth, there isn’t a suit out there that is built for everyone and anyone.
So why spend days of your precious time trying to find the right brand that fits you? Suits are about looking good, and it seems pointless to limit your options due to a few centimetres of stitching in the wrong place. When you make a made-to-measure suit, a master tailor will create the suit you want to and adapt it to your individual physique. Forget finding a suit that simply fits – instead, you can tailor a suit that suits you.
A suit is about more than simply fitting well it is about making you feel good too. Forget having to worry about whether your cuff extends too far, or if your pants are too long. Made-to-measure tailoring gives you the absolute confidence to know you look like class epitomised.
Whether you are working or celebrating, enjoy the freedom to do what you should be doing, instead of worrying about your wardrobe. This is particularly relevant if you don’t spend most of your time in a suit.
The world of off-the-rack suiting is rife with standard colours, patterns and designs which serve their purpose for the 80% of the market. But why not open yourself up to the other 20% and create something that is uniquely yours? When it comes to fabrics the choices are plentiful; you will find everything from checks to stripes, plain fabrics to textured ones and everything in between to start with a really unique base.
When it comes to designing and styling your suit, there are more combinations than you can poke a stick at. From jacket style to pocket slants, thread colour to trouser extension style, even lapel widths down to the millimetre, the recipe to your perfect suit can be as complex or simple as you like.
Even if you find you perfect suit somewhere on the world wide web, our team will source through our supply chain networks to find the closest match and even have a fabric sample sent to us for you to confirm before purchase.
It is important to understand that going custom does take a little bit of imagination. Choosing a fabric and designing a suit without seeing the end product requires can be daunting. However, the skilled team at Black Jacket Suiting will expertly walk you through this process and answer any and all questions you have to ensure you get exactly the end product you desire.
The stresses of everyday wear demand a different approach to your suiting. For your work suits you want to purchase with durability and longevity in mind. At Black Jacket Suiting we want our clients to maximise their investment while remaining stylish throughout the life of the garment.
