Caring for Your Custom Suit
- Hang it right: use a wide, padded hanger to keep the shoulders in shape
- Dry clean less: dry clean only when needed, and spot clean small marks
- Steam, don't iron: steaming removes wrinkles without shine marks
- Let it rest: give your suit a day off between wears
- Store it covered: keep it in a breathable garment bag

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a custom suit?
A custom suit is made to your own measurements and choices, such as fabric, colour, fit and lapel, instead of standard ready-made sizes.
Can I order a custom suit online?
Yes. Choose a style, share your measurements and tell us your preferences. Our team will confirm the details with you before tailoring your suit.
Should I choose a 2-piece or a 3-piece suit?
A 2-piece is lighter and more versatile. A 3-piece with a waistcoat looks more formal and is a great choice for grooms and wedding functions.
Which suit colour is best for a groom?
