Made-to-measure suits and shirts, made in Italy under your label

It is the production side behind your made-to-measure service. You meet the customer, take the measurements and agree the cloth and the details; the garment is then cut to those measurements, made in Italy and finished under your label rather than ours. We make suits, jackets, trousers and shirts this way. Each order is routed to an Italian workshop in our network that makes that garment type, and the cloth, the making and quality control are coordinated on the same order, so you work with one production partner instead of a different maker for every garment. For a tailor it adds capacity beyond the bench in the shop. For a menswear store or an online made-to-measure service, it is the workroom the business does not have to build. You keep the customer relationship, the fitting and the price you charge.

The order carries what the workshop needs to make one person’s garment: the customer, their measurements, the cloth and the garment options you agreed with them. You take the measurements in your shop or at an appointment, and an online service can work from the customer’s own measurements. Anything unclear is settled before the garment is cut, and production lead times count from the moment the measurements and the specification are confirmed. Measurements can also be kept in Size Passport, our web-based measurement record, so a returning customer does not have to be measured again for the next order. If you already work to a house measurement form, send it with your first message; how it is used on your orders is agreed per project.

Suits, jackets, blazers and trousers take 3–4 weeks to produce, and shirts take 2–3 weeks. Bespoke pieces that need fittings take 8–12 weeks. Those weeks count from confirmed measurements and specification, so the date you give a customer starts when their order is complete. Delivery by courier from Italy then adds 2–3 working days within Italy, 3–5 working days to the rest of Europe, the UK and Switzerland included, and 3–5 working days to the USA or Canada. Express is available on request. Before the first order of a new style there is a sample to approve, and its timing is agreed per project, because it depends on the garment and on whether the cloth is in stock or milled to order. The lead-time calculator adds production and courier days up from today’s date.

Each house style is sampled before you sell it. The sample is made in the cloth and construction you chose and sent to you to judge fit, finish and detail. You tell us what to change, it is refined, and customer orders are produced once you approve it. The approved sample can then stay in your shop as a fitting sample, so customers see and try the cut before they order, in place of a rail of stocked sizes. The cloth is confirmed during sampling too, chosen from the Italian mills we source from or supplied by you. How many rounds sampling takes, and how long, is agreed per project, because it depends on the garment and on the cloth.

Yes. The minimum order is 1 garment, so a single customer’s suit or shirt is a valid order, and so is a run of several. There is no contract minimum and no obligation to reorder. Unit cost moves with quantity, and the price per piece is quoted before you commit. Two constraints can come from suppliers rather than from us: a cloth milled to order can carry a minimum length set by the mill, which choosing a cloth already in stock avoids, and custom trims such as woven labels can have minimums of their own.
