Frequently Asked Questions
Appointments
Our process involves an initial measurement session where we discuss the desired fit and choose all style elements. After this, you will have at least two fittings. The suit is sent unfinished for the first fitting to nail down the pattern and fit. The suit is often ready to collect at the second fitting. Occasionally, the suit requires additional minor tweaks at this stage.
Fittings typically last 30 minutes.
An hour is allocated for the initial consultation.
Bringing a white shirt to the initial appointment and all fittings is super helpful. However, it is not essential. We have shirts that you can borrow if you forget! Shoes are also helpful.
General
We certainly do! These can be purchased online or at either our London or NYC showrooms.
Yes, we do. Our absolute fastest turnaround is 2 weeks. Inside of our standard 8/9 weeks the price goes up £100/$130 per week, ie 7 weeks would occur £100/$130 and 5 weeks would occur £300/$390. Please note that during certain periods this service is not always available, so always contact us to ask.
The process takes 8/9 weeks from the time the order is placed. It’s always nice to leave a bit of extra time if possible.
Our fabrics are sourced mainly from the United Kingdom and Ireland. You will find high quality, interesting alternatives to the ubiquitous Italian fabrics typically encountered in the marketplace. Besides, it’s nice to stay true to our founders’ Irish heritage and English presence.
Is that 3.5 inch notch lapel a touch too narrow? Perhaps 3.75 inches would do the trick?
The great thing about the made-to-measure experience is the degree of customizability. You get to choose the number and type of buttons, the type and width of the lapel, the type of pockets, the lining, and so much more!
No stress at all! This is natural and we can accommodate fluctuations in either direction. We leave plenty of inlay so if you ever need to let out any part of the suit, it’s possible. Whether that’s required a year from now or a decade from now that inlay will be patiently waiting. Also, if you plan on losing weight, we can always take it in so you aren’t swimming in it. In short, feel free to hit the gym as hard as you want, or not… Either way, you are in good hands.
