Before your first fitting

Are alterations really free?

On anything we made, for as long as you own it. Your pattern is upstairs, so it is a morning of work rather than a guess. Garments made elsewhere are charged from forty-five dollars.

How long does it take?
About eight weeks from the first measure to collection, across three fittings. A wedding party needs five months; four is possible and nobody enjoys it.
Is the cloth included in the price?
Yes, in a mid-weight cloth suited to this climate. A heavier or finer cloth changes the number and we will show you exactly how much before you commit.
What is a baste fitting?
The garment held together with tacking thread so it can be taken apart and changed. It is the stage that separates made to measure from a suit bought off a rail and let out, and we will not skip it.

Can I order a repeat without coming in?
Shirts and trousers, yes, once we have your pattern. Jackets need you in the room, because the pattern only tells us what was true last time.
