MASTER TAILOR CHRISTOPHER AARON
Bespoke Tailoring Process
Ordering a Bespoke Suit for the First Time ?
Here is What You Can Expect
YOUR INITIAL CONSULTATION
- One Hour Long.
- Choose a Fabric
- Select a Style
- Take Measurements.
SELECTING CLOTH
At your consultation, you can browse through our cloth books. Christopher will guide you through our large array of fabrics.
Once you have chosen a cloth that you like, we will show you our lining selection. Whether you like classic neutrals, bold color or unique prints, we have the perfect lining for you.
STYLING YOUR SUIT
Explore our Suit Personalisation page for inspiration. If there is a particular style detail that you would like to include in your suit, mention it to your consultant as we can likely include it.
GETTING MEASURED
In order to be as accurate as possible, we request that you wear trousers (not jeans) and a shirt to be measured in. If you would like to order a skirt, please bring along your favorite skirt, as well as the trousers. Whilst measurements are very important, your body posture is critical to the fit of the suit so your tailoring consultant will take a combination of up to 30 unique measurements from your body, as well as take notes and photographs of your posture. This process only takes 15-20 minutes.
PLACE YOUR ORDER
At this stage, we have all of the information we need to start tailoring your suit. We take a 50% deposit when we place the order and the balance is due when you collect the finished suit.
A BASTE FITTING
If you have ordered a fully-bespoke suit, you will have a baste fitting four to six weeks after placing your order.
At this fitting, you will try on the “skeleton” of your suit for the first time. It is not fully constructed. Instead, it is basted together to allow us to mould the suit to you before it is completed.
Once you are wearing the suit, Christopher the tailor will reconfirm various measurements and start to pin and chalk for any necessary improvements. He will then complete the suit, based on the notes made at this fitting.
