Tailored made-to-measure or bespoke suits are expensive. Some Saville Row master tailors charge thousands of pounds for their high-end, hand-crafted bespoke suits. So, why get a tailored suit?
A well-fitting, high-quality, tailored suit is nothing like a cheap off-the-rack suit from the High Street. Tailored suits are superior in every way.
Here are 7 reasons you should consider investing in a luxury, tailored suit rather than an off-the-rack one.
1. Fitting
Custom-made suits typically involve several fittings to ensure that the finished suit is a perfect fit. Off-the-rack suits might be ill-fitting and unflattering for your body shape. No matter your body type, a tailored suit will ensure you look stunning every time you wear it!
2. Quality
Made-to-measure and bespoke suits are made from high-quality fabrics and materials, such as wool, cotton, or silk. However, cheap High Street suits are sometimes made from inexpensive materials like polyester.
Many bespoke suits are hand-cut and hand sewn together. However, an off-the-rack suit will likely be completely machine-made. Getting a custom-tailored suit ensures you get a quality suit built to last.
3. Personalisation
Tailored suits allow you to express yourself and show off your personality. You can choose from a huge range of materials, cuts, finishes, styles, and intricate details to create a beautiful personalised garment. The tailor will work with your preferences and personal style to craft a completely unique suit.
4. Long-term investment
Custom-tailored suits are usually more expensive than off-the-rack suits. However, this is because of a tailored suit’s superior quality, craftsmanship, and fit.
In the long run, this can save you money. A cheaper off-the-rack suit might need to be replaced after just a few years of wear. A tailored suit can be worn and enjoyed for years and years because they are built to last.
5. Once-in-a-lifetime experience
Getting a custom suit, especially a bespoke one, is an unparalleled experience that everyone should experience at least once. A bespoke suit will involve numerous fittings, and you’ll be supported by a master tailor at every stage of the journey. Getting a custom bespoke suit is one of the most luxurious purchases a man can make.
6. Exclusivity
If you buy a suit from a popular High Street brand for an important event, another guest might wear the exact same suit as you. Buying a tailored suit means you are guaranteed a completely unique garment. No one else in the world will have your exact suit. This ensures you always stand out from the crowd.
7. Invaluable advice
When you buy a tailored suit from a good tailor, you also benefit from their years of expertise. You will get invaluable advice and guidance. They’ll be able to talk you through all the options available and help you make the right choice.
