Questions

Why does it take eight weeks?

Three fittings, two to three weeks apart, and the hand sewing between them. Each fitting corrects something a ready-made suit would get wrong.

Can you do it faster?

Six weeks at the most, with the fittings closer together and a little more of your time. Below that there isn't time for three fittings, and we would rather say so.

How much is a suit?

A two-piece starts at $1,450 in our house cloths; a cloth from the book adds between $200 and $600. You know the total before we cut.

Do I pay up front?

Half when you choose the cloth, the rest at collection.

Are alterations really free for life?

Yes, on anything we made. Weight changes, a new trouser length for different shoes, a lining that has worn through.

Do you alter clothes you didn't make?

Yes. Walk in; most alterations are ready within a week and priced when we pin them.
