After years of wearing suits that do not fit precisely, you have made a decision! You have decided to allow only bespoke suits into your wardrobe from now on. But now one of the most difficult questions arises — who should tailor my first bespoke suit? With such a large selection on the market these days, it is often difficult to keep an overview and to choose the right offer, because not every bespoke suit is created equal. If you take the following criteria into account when making your choice, you will be on the safe side.
The quality of the work
An important point in the choice of a suitable tailor should be quality. A tailor-made suit is no guarantee for good quality and longevity of your suit. The question of where the suits are made — whether in Asia, Western or Eastern Europe — is immensely important here and worth considering.
Good consultation
Does the tailor suit me, and do I suit him? An important point in your choice should be personal rapport. Does my tailor understand me, does he respond to my wishes and vision, and does he combine these with his skill and experience? Which colours and shapes suit me? What image do I wish to convey with my new wardrobe, and how can this be implemented skilfully and stylishly? All these points must be implemented by your tailor — the rapport and consultation must be right here in order to achieve an optimal result.
Taking the measurements
Who will take your measurements for your suit? Tailoring is an art form that must be learned and mastered. Not everyone is able to put themselves in the position of the various body types and take the right measurements. It is therefore important that you commission a tailor who understands his craft.
The right choice of fabric
Together with your tailor, it is important that you make the right choice of fabric. Fabrics differ in many respects, and the specialist can advise you on the respective properties and characteristics of the fabrics and give you valuable tips on wearing and caring for them.
As you can see, it is enormously important to find a tailor who has 100% mastery of his craft, who engages with you and advises you correctly, because only then will you be happy with your new wardrobe.
