FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A bespoke suit is made of unique patterns tailor-made as per customer measurements. The OTR suit on the other hand is made in standard sizes with scope of minor changes if needed for better fit.

Advantages of bespoke:

The fitting of the suits is highly accurate. (90% of body sizes and shape aren’t identical or symmetrical). A bespoke suit can be made for all body shapes and sizes and will help you hide the subtle imperfections in your shape and posture thereby giving you a more flattering look. You have the freedom to choose the fabric, the quality, and colours while when you buy OTR your choices are limited. You also have complete freedom on customising options with regards to the style of the suit. This means you can choose where you want the trousers to start from, high medium or low and can also adjust the width, style, and shape of the lapels, pockets, and other parts.

Bespoke is when the garment is custom-made from scratch with unique pattern as per the choice of the client while the made to measure garment is the modification of an existing pattern. Both take similar time to prepare, while the bespoke has a higher level of accuracy. Bespoke has unlimited styling options. Made to measure on the other hand has limited options depending on the brand and how many existing pattern the brand has on the file.

Our quality of tailoring, the fitting that provide, the variety of the fabrics, the overall customer experience, the customisable options of appointments with our stylist, that we offer along with a guaranteed satisfaction makes us special and better than other tailors.

Every garment pricing is unique as it highly depends on the fabric selection. Typically our bespoke suits start at 3,200 AED, our bespoke shirts start at 450 AED and our bespoke trousers at 895 AED.

It depends on the garment.

For 2 or 3-piece suit: When stitching a suit, there are many factors that affect the timeline. It depends if the fabrics are in Dubai or they have to be ordered from the UK or Italy. It will depend on if you are a new client or have already made a bespoke suit with us in the past. Last, we have two options for the suits, one is partially hand stitched which doesn’t take as long as a full handmade/hand stitched suit. We normally take three weeks for a suit. However, we do offer an express service where the suit is made on priority basis, depending on availability.

Shirts: When stitching a shirt, we need 10 days depending on the fabric if it is in store or needs to be ordered from Italy. Another factor that affects the timeline is if the client has made a shirt with us in the past because if we already have their pattern we don’t require a fitting unless the shirt model is completely different or their body size or shape has changed. We do offer an express service depending on availability.

We have over 5000 fabrics to choose from in various different qualities. For our shirts, we have 100% cotton which starts from 100-2ply to 300-3ply (quality and fineness of the cotton), 300-3ply is the finest cotton being produced by just a handful off mills in the world. We also have a wide range of linen fabrics starting from 60Lee going unto 110Lea. 110Lea being one of the finest linen fabrics being produced around the world. We have various unique blends when it comes to shirt fabric including, Cotton Stretch, Cotton linen, Cashmere cotton, silk mixes and many more.

When it comes to suiting fabrics, 100% wool is the most popular fabric used. When people think of wool, they think that the fabric will make them warm and isn’t suitable for the climate in Dubai. This is a misconception and there are many types of wools, which come in many different weights.

For summer suits, we have 100% merino wool that weighs as low as 220 grams per square meter aka GSM. We also have heavier wools for suits to be worn in cooler climates, as heavy 550 GSM, which we use for Overcoats (trench coats).
When it comes to wool we are very careful on which manufactures we work with, we only source our wool from Italy, England, and Belgium. The starting (lowest count) we use is super 100s going up to super 250s (this is one of the finest and rarest wool quality in the world). We also have a lot of interesting fabrics for blazers like 100 silk, wool silk, linen mix, wool and silk mix, and so on. We have one of the finest cotton fabrics for jackets, trousers, and shorts and we also have cotton stretch for the people who want a slim fit while maintaining the comfort of the garment.

We have 100% linen which is really good for the summers, we have linen in different weights, depending on the look the you are going for. The lightest linen is usually used for shorts.

We make suits, shirts, waistcoats/vests, blazers, trousers, chinos, short, overcoats, and bowties. Our expert advisors help you choose a garment and style that’s perfect and unique, to match your personality.
