Creating your first bespoke suit: a personalized experience
Haute couture is quite an insane process that requires extraordinary consumption of manpower, material resources and finances. If you define haute couture as spending 10 minutes in a brand-name suit store to measure three dimensions, sleeve length, select fabric and color, and leave a phone number, then you are completely wrong. In terms of clothing customization, fabric and production processes are the key to measuring the price and quality of customization. In F.S & PAISTE suit customization service, each suit must go through at least 118 independent and meticulous production processes without any negligence. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the customization process and prepare for a "prolonged battle" mentally.
1. Reservation
It may take several hours to produce a suit by machine, but made-to-measure suits often require dozens of days or even months. Besides the initial close-fitting measurement, the production process may also include multiple fittings, so making a reservation before customization is essential. Some famous European custom clothing stores even require reservations months in advance.
2. Selection
The first custom-made suit should not be too concerned with being high-end or trendy. It is best to choose plain colors. The safest choices are dark gray and navy blue, and appropriately you can choose dark-colored hidden pattern series. After the tailor becomes familiar with your body shape, selecting striped and checkered styles will be more secure.
3. Fabric Selection
The preliminary selection involves choosing fabric, color, and style. The fabrics for high-end custom suits are generally selected from world-class brands such as Zegna (Gi尼亚), GUABELLO (Gao博乐), REDA (Rui达), Vitale (Wei达来), FILARTE (Fei拉特). Customers can choose suitable fabrics according to their preferences.
4. Measurement
This is a crucial step in haute couture. Top-notch custom clothing stores will have tailors come to the customer's side for precise measurements. If the client is too busy to visit the store, they can even provide services at the customer's location, or even wait at the airport during the customer's transit to ensure accuracy despite time constraints. Additionally, some tailors may take photos of the customer from different angles for further observation and to understand the customer's walking posture and habits.
5. Tailoring
After precise and detailed measurements, the tailor will cut a specific pattern based on the customer's body type, tailored for one person only. The significance of the previous on-site measurement, photography, and observing the customer's walking habits lies in thoroughly understanding every part of the customer's body, including standing, sitting, and walking states, allowing for special modifications during tailoring. Which parts need to be reduced or added depends on the customer's specific situation.
6. Trial Fittings
A normal custom suit requires 1-3 trial fittings. The first fitting occurs before the entire garment is sewn together, after which the tailor makes adjustments based on the fitting results. The second fitting takes place when the garment is partially sewn, where details are refined. Finally, the customized finished product is created, all aimed at achieving a more fitted and luxurious image.
7. Price
In our well-known domestic men's custom clothing store - F.S & PAISTE suit customization, a two-piece suit starts from a minimum of 2,380 yuan to a maximum of 26,800 yuan. Suits from other high-end custom stores can be even more expensive, with those using top-tier materials commanding exorbitant prices.
