Made to Measure Suits
Made to measure suits are a kind of halfway house between bespoke and ready-to-wear, and a more accessible entry point into commissioning your own garments, particularly popular with our younger clientele. Produced by machine rather than by hand, it can make for a very happy medium.
Affordability aside, the chief advantage of made-to-measure is a more streamlined process than that of bespoke.
The made-to-measure patterns are hand-cut by Chris Kerr in the same fashion as with a bespoke suit, meaning that there are none of the design limitations expected of a conventional made-to-measure service.
Jackets are fully canvassed and structured in the same way as a bespoke suit. Lapels are padded, sleeves are pitched, button-holes and topstitching hand-sewn for a bespoke finish.
