Suits, Shirts & Casual
- How are Self-Made Couture suits constructed?
- Each Self-Made Couture garment is digitally laser cut and hand sewn from fine fabrics sourced around the globe. We start your garments by making a digital pattern of your body. Those measurements are converted into a pattern that is uniquely designed to fit on your body. From there, your fabric is precisely cut on our digital, laser cutting machines. Throughout this process, each customer’s pattern is saved digitally. This ensures that your next suit, shirt or blazer will be cut exactly the same.
- How long does it take to make a custom suit?
- Please allow up to 4-6 weeks. If the delivery is expected to take longer we will promptly notify you.
