The quickest and most effective approach to have a perfectly fitting suit tailored to your specifications is with a made to measure. Made to measure efficiency meets personal flair.

Process of Making Made To Measure Suits

Consultation

The production process for made to measure suits in Leeds works similarly to bespoke suit production; it is only less precise. Everything starts with a consultation with your preferred tailor, so the first step is to look around and choose a place where you feel at ease and whose prices are within your means. Made to measure prices range greatly, from a few hundred to several thousand pounds.

The consultation process is simple, but it does require a lot of decision-making. Therefore, it is worthwhile to do some study before seeing your tailor. Your tailor is also available to assist, providing guidance based on their preferences and those of the tailoring house. They all like to subtly promote a house style, which may influence your selection of colour, fabric, and finishing touches.

Fabric Selection

The first step is to choose your clothes, and you usually have a wide range to choose from—well over a thousand. Whether you go with a lightweight, heavyweight, or anywhere in between depends on weight. Naturally, colour and pattern—check, birdseye, pinstripe, and so forth—also play a role. One of the main elements influencing the total cost of your outfit is the fabric. The next step is to choose the type of construction you need, from fully canvassed to half-lined, at the tailors that provide you with that option. Some tailors even offer to make your garment mostly by hand.

Taking Measurements

The process then becomes more personal. Your tailor will measure your waist, chest, seat, and possibly a few other areas. After that, you will try on a suit with the construction that you want. This gives your tailor a template to work with, and he will begin to pin it to form a suit that fits you better and takes into account your body's distinctive features.

This step of the procedure is not entirely comfortable. A skilled tailor will probably observe you for several minutes, evaluating your posture, build, and symmetry—or, more often than not, lack thereof. For example, most males have one shoulder that is somewhat higher than the other. Whenever feasible, allowances will be integrated into your suit. Even more delightfully, this process begins to produce a suit that you like. Maybe you prefer pants with a high waist or legs that taper off sharply. Here, those preferences are taken into consideration.

Recording Details

During the last phase of the consultation procedure, which should take at least an hour and require pre-booking, you will select all the extra features that make the suit uniquely yours. The options include lapel style, the number of buttons used for fastening, belt loops, side adjusters, or brace buttons, cuffs or a plain finish, pocket type, pocket flaps or none, and more.

Fitting Check

Once all of these have been determined, you are essentially done with this step. After making a deposit, you will probably be leaving everything in the hands of the professionals who will really make your suit. If you need the suit for a particular date, make sure to plan well in advance, as this is not an overnight operation. Depending on the tailor and their current workload, the process of making your suit could take one to three months.

A few weeks later, though, you will be called in for another fitting to make last-minute alterations to your made to measure suits in Cardiff and to choose the length of your legs and sleeves. This will depend on the shoes you plan to wear with your suit, so please bring them. Your suit will be completed once you go through this fitting, which should take at most fifteen minutes, so you must be available for it. After this is completed—final payment is probably expected at that point as well—your suit can be completed, which could take an additional two weeks.
