CUSTOMIZATION
1.CHOOSING THE RIGHT OUTFIT
Are you looking for a top-quality suit with the perfect fit? A shirt that closes neatly around your neck as well as your waist? Trousers that suit just right? A made-to-measure coat, waistcoat or blazer? Then you've come to the right place. You should arrange an appointment two (or more) months before you need the garment. Suits can be ready within 5-6 weeks, but we prefer to avoid unnecessary pressure.
2.CHOOSING THE RIGHT FABRIC
With thousands of textile options to choose from, you'll be in fabric heaven at Café Costume. Our tailors will help you select the right textile, depending on the required garment and how soon you need it. The fabric you choose will determine how much your suit costs.
3.CHOOSING THE RIGHT TRIMS
Depending on the fabric, there are many options for styling your new piece. What button, collar and pockets would work best? And why? Along with your tailor, you'll have the opportunity to personalise your garment and make it unique.
4.MEASURING YOUR NEW FIT
You've done the choosing, now we'll do the measuring. To do this, we'll put you onto one of you 'piers de stalles' or fitting platforms. Guided by your tailor, you'll find out how and why we modify the original pattern to suit your physique. Together, we'll decide how long/short and wide/slim you fit should be.
