Is Custom Clothing for you?
Is Custom Clothing for you?
Are you considering purchasing custom clothing? Or wondering if
custom clothing is for you? Here are some items to consider.
Are you an easy fit? Can you generally walk right into a store a
buy off the rack without too much dissatisfaction? Are you
satisfied with just the basics in suits, coats and shirtings?
Then perhaps an off-the-rack, or 'ready-made' garment is all you
need. But if you are looking for more, custom clothing may be
the way to go.
Most of our clients use us for custom, or 'made-to-measure'
clothing, but not all. You may consider the purchase of custom
clothing for the following reasons:
1. Fabric choices With custom clothing you literally choose from
hundreds of bolts of fabrics available, whether it is for
shirts, pants, suits, coats, etc. Then a pattern is made
specifically for you from the fabric you choose. This also makes
it easy to coordinate outfits to make you stand out amongst your
peers and competitors.
2. Styling This is a key element for many people. Do you want
plain front pants? A 2 or 3-button coat? Deeper pleats? A
specific width of pant leg? A specific lining in your coats or
pants? A particular type of collar on your shirts? These are
just a few of the options available when you choose custom
clothing.
3. Price ranges You can invest in the classics, or literally the
best fabrics available in the world. It is totally up to you.
Whatever your comfort zone may be regarding price, you can find
it with your choices in custom clothing. For example, you can
find custom suits from our line anywhere from $650 to $3000.
4. Fit Perhaps the most important element of them all. Dozens of
measurements are taken for your specific body type, and the
pattern is made specifically for you. Custom clothing
recommendations are made to compliment your style and desires it
fit. Just think of the fit problems with which you struggle, and
in almost every case, that problem can be solved through custom
clothing.
Perhaps custom clothing has not been your choice with previous
purchases, but you desire to project a certain image. Custom
clothing may be the way to go for you. But, as I tell many of
our clients, be prepared. Once you get suits, coats, pants or
shirtings custom made specifically for you, you may find it hard
to return to your standard off-the-rack choices.
