Why do men's high-end suits need to be tailor-made? F.S & PAISTE Suits, a small street near Oxford Circus in London, has over two hundred years of history. This street is lined with stores offering high-end shirts and traditional bespoke suit shops from start to finish. It is here that the pursuit of refinement in suits began, equating the concept of refinement solely with customization. Customization and ready-to-wear are no longer just nouns but represent two "classes."
In the eyes of master tailors, the quality of a high-end custom suit depends on four major factors: craftsmanship, tailoring, fabric, and lining. A suit processed by a high-temperature shaping machine looks more structured compared to one ironed manually with an electric iron. However, in terms of intricate details, the high-level tailors at F.S & PAISTE far surpass machines. Traditional handcrafting techniques are often omitted in mass-produced clothing, resulting in a lack of sincerity in the final product. These suits may look sleek on the surface but tend to deform easily when worn. Some processes, like stitching lapels or sewing buttons, cannot be matched by machines in terms of finesse when done by hand. Additionally, some specialized techniques require tailors to adjust based on the client's specific situation.
Men and women approach fashion differently; men's attire should serve as a badge of status and taste. Renowned international image consultant Ingrid once said, "The primary function of clothing is to boost your confidence, not just to make you look good." This statement fits perfectly in the context of men's wear, especially suits. Even if you've tried every piece from GUCCI, AMARNI, and Zegna, you're still wearing mass-produced items off the assembly line. Handcrafted, bespoke suits tailored specifically for you are truly your "second skin."
In the realm of high-end suit customization, Chinese and Europeans have vastly different perspectives. Most Chinese consumers don't care whether the suit is handmade or machine-made; they only care about the immediate effect of the finished product. On the other hand, Europeans prefer unique pieces crafted by top tailors who take precise measurements and spend 40 hours stitching each suit, paid by the hour. The final product naturally stands out. Moreover, with over two hundred years of history on Oxford Circus Street, using traditional techniques from the 1920s and 1930s, along with various royal anecdotes... all these elements create an appealing experience that mass-produced items simply cannot offer. A semi-canvas high-end suit distinctly reflects the style of its tailor and can be considered an art piece. Just like a computer-carved seal, no matter how clean and clear it is, its value cannot compare to a hand-carved stone by a master artisan. This is the art of customization! The best is what suits you!
Of course, a good suit requires proper maintenance. Generally, the best times for maintaining suits are during spring and autumn. After about six months of wear, a high-end suit needs comprehensive reshaping, sterilization, and anti-mold treatment. Thoughtful brands provide 1-2 professional services annually to ensure perfect comfort while extending the lifespan of the suit (F.S & PAISTE offers one free maintenance service per year).
