Step
1
Discuss what type of garment you are looking for, its uses and which
type of style and fit would be most suitable. Based on this information
a cloth is chosen along with linings, buttons, and other accessories
that will bring your design concept to life.
Step 2
Measurements and figuration details are taken. Then a personal pattern
will be hand-drafted and cut from scratch not the basic, adjusted
template pattern, as used by so many other made-to-order tailoring
firms.
Step 3
Before the cloth is cut, a trial suit known as "skeleton fit" is prepared for the first fitting.
This is a basted garment cut to specifications, that is the basis
for a fitting to determine changes. After the fitting is complete,
using your pattern the cloth for the garment is cut and trimmed
along with the hair canvas and silk linings.

Step 4 A single tailor is then given the
parts of the garment to sew together, from the earliest fitting
stages, to the final, complete suit. A second fitting takes place at this stage known as the
"forward base fit". These initial stages of construction are absolutely
essential to make a well-fitted garment.
After these two fittings, the final garment is ready for delivery. Each suit is completely hand-made, even down to the button holes.
Alterations in the future can be made as allowances are kept in
the side and back seams, sleeves and pant waist and length unlike
ready-to wear suits that have no seam allowances limiting suit life,
if measurements were to change.
