Finding the Right Tailor

style
A tailor’s personal sense of style is not totally
irrelevant, but not always indicative of their
work. There will usually be sample pieces of
work at the shop or clients’ garments waiting
to be picked up. This will give you a good idea
of their work. If their style doesn’t align with
yours, you need to be sure they have the skills to
create your vision. If not, then it may be time to
pick a new tailor.

Does the tailor take care in making their
measurements? Or are they looking hastily
towards the next customer? A good tailor is
busy and may not be able to handle multiple
walk-in consultations. How they treat you in
these situations is a good indicator of their craft
and professionalism. Remember, a tailor’s job
is to make the best possible suit for you. Your
tailor should be asking what your requirements
are and taking notice of the peculiarities in the
shape of your body to produce a suit that looks
and feels like it was made specifically for you.
At Garrison Bespoke we take a consultative
approach. Every suit we make is produced from
multiple conversations between client and
stylist. We take the time to get to know you, the
bride, and all the details of your wedding day
in order to create the perfect bespoke suit for
the groom-to-be. We leave no detail unnoticed.
We help you choose the style, pattern and
colour that best complements your features
and wedding theme. We also consider how the
suit will photograph to ensure that you have
the best wedding memories to share with your
loved ones. Most importantly, we make sure
that the suit you create is something completely
wearable, so that you can make the most of your
investment for years to come.
