Creating something custom doesn’t have to be complicated.
Here’s how we work with you to craft garments that fit your body, your lifestyle, and your taste.
1. First Meeting: Fit, Function, and Figuring You Out
Whether it's a tropical-weight tuxedo for a summer wedding or a boardroom-ready jacket with personality, we design clothes that fit your life, not just your frame.
This crucial first session is typically in person, allowing us to observe your natural stance and movement. Before you depart, we'll schedule your follow-up fitting to ensure a seamless process.
2 / Rough Cut, Real Fit
We start by making a test version of your garment—a rough draft tailored to your body. It’s not the final piece, but it shows us how everything’s lining up: the shape, the drape, the way it moves when you move.
It’s kind of like a rehearsal dinner. The vibe’s more relaxed, but it’s where we catch the little things that make the final version shine. You’ll usually try this on two to three weeks after your first visit.
3 / Dialing It In (Fit Evaluation)
Once your test garment arrives, we'll guide you through a detailed fitting—either in person or via Zoom for remote clients—to perfect the fit.
Next, the exciting part: fabric selection. We'll explore lightweight wools, textured linens, and help you customize every detail, from lapels to buttons. After confirming everything, we finalize pricing and place your order.
Note: In many cases, we’ll cover fabric selection and pricing during the first meeting to keep things efficient—unless we need to track down something special.
4 / Crafting the Final Garment
Once finalized, we begin crafting your garment. The pattern is cut, fabric shaped, and most pieces are ready in 3-4 weeks. Lead times may vary for special fabrics or custom linings, but we'll keep you updated. We're in the zone, creating something great for you.
This is the part where we go quiet for a bit—but just know we’re in the zone, building something great for you.
5 / Final Delivery (aka The Best Part)
Your completed garment is ready for its final check—in person or via Zoom—aiming for a perfect fit right away. Should any adjustments be needed after wearing it, we're always here to make it right.
We'd love to see you in your new custom piece! Share a photo from your weddings, boardrooms, or parties!
6 / Future Orders Made Easy
Once your fit is on file, future orders are simple. We've got your pattern and preferences dialed in, allowing you to quickly select new fabrics or design fresh pieces.
If your fit needs updating due to body changes or desired feel, we'll use your existing garments as a reference for adjustments. The more we work together, the smoother the process.
