Custom Suits You

An elegant custom suit is a crucial part of a man’s wardrobe. Whether it’s a sharp suit for the business world, a casual suit for laid-back days, or a stylish tuxedo for the big event, you’ll find the perfect made to measure suit for every occasion at YOUTAILOR.The British wool was a bit stiffer, and since the wedding is in London, that seemed appropriate,” says Fulrath of his selection, a black Super 120 from English fabric house Charles Clayton. Next, in-house master tailor Kenny Wong took Fulrath’s head-to-toe measurements, which revealed something surprising. “My actual waist is not what I wear in jeans, but rather two sizes bigger,” Fulrath says. “The fashion industry is lying to me!” His specifications were sent to Hong Kong, where the pattern from which Fulrath’s suit was cut was created. Two weeks later, Fulrath returns to try on the loosely done, unfinished suit (only one sleeve is attached). Only one more fitting for minor adjustments (shortening the jacket, slimming down the pants) was required before the suit was complete.
