Investing in a high-quality suit is crucial because your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Unlike everyday purchases, a wedding suit isn’t something you buy frequently, so it’s worth choosing a suit that stands out with superior craftsmanship. A well-made suit not only enhances your special day but also offers a better fit and feel. Cheaper materials often lead to bulkiness and discomfort, whereas a premium suit provides a more tailored, comfortable experience and a refined look. The quality of a suit impacts how it looks and feels, making it a significant part of your wedding investment. Why cut corners on something so important when you can enjoy a suit that truly complements your celebration?
Great question! Buying a suit offers the advantage of owning a high-quality garment that you can wear again and again. While hiring might be a convenient option, purchasing a suit means you have a timeless piece that fits perfectly and reflects your personal style. It's an investment in your wardrobe that goes beyond just your wedding day, allowing you to use it for future special occasions or events. Plus, having your own suit ensures that it’s always available when you need it, without the stress of returning it or dealing with last-minute changes. Remember, a hired suit is only new once.

We suggest starting the process around12-14 weeks prior as this will give you more options. It will also give use plenty of time to bring in any stock that may have sold through.
The fitting for adjustments we can arrange closer to the wedding, that way we can factor in any changes in weight. Any additional tailoring usually takes around a week and idealy its best to bring your shoes in for this fitting.
I've gained weight since my formal wear was fitted. What are my options?
At what point in the custom made suit process can the measurements be re-taken? What other options would I have?
Formal Red
A custom made garment is a process that requires precise measurements and an experienced tailor. If we have taken your measurements then the next process is to draw up the pattern for your bespoke garments, begin the cutting process and book in the tailoring. At this stage it is to late for a re-measure, so the best approach in the instance of weight change is to make adjustments to your garments on your next fitting.
As we can not predict how much person will change in weight and how that will effect their measurements, we suggest that a weight change of no more than 4-5 kilograms. If you are planning on changing your size then best approach is to get measured as close to the cut off time as possible. Always check our website for lead times so you have maximum options available to you.
