EVERYONE LOVES A TAILORED SUIT

It has long been the height of sophistication to be able to afford a tailored suit, so much so that many suit manufactures advertise some ranges as having a tailored fit or designer tailored style. While these types of ‘custom cut’ styles make your suit look like its better suited to your frame you cant beat that personal measured and cut feel that a totally tailored suit brings.



So what options are there for the consumer who needs a stylish corporate clothing but whos budget just won’t stretch to Savile Row prices? Well we have already talked about tailored fit designs and while these garments are totally off the peg purchases the customer can mix and match various sizes to fit his or her body shapes.


Another alternative is measured fit suiting. This concept stands firmly between the fully tailored suit and the off the peg market providing customisable suiting at a more reasonable price.



So how does it work?


Instead of producing a suit from scratch measurements, the customer tries on a series of basic sizing suits. Once a standard size is found the customer has the option of ‘adjusting’ the suits measurements to better fit their body shape. With multiple areas of the suit being size adjustable the customer can truly be in control of how his or her suit feels and hangs. Couple with this the ability to choose fabric, lining button configuration and minor styling of the suit and you can quickly create your own customised business suit as if you went to the Taylor himself.

Because the measuring is not as technical a process as a full tailoring process companies can quickly fit whole workforces at minimal cost to the business in fact many companies in the legal profession are starting to adopt this method of corporate clothing for their solicitors and barristers giving them a standard corporate feel at a fraction of the cost.

We believe that this type of measured fit suiting is an exciting development in corporate suiting and look forward to following its progress in the coming years maybe into the mainstream suiting market!
