Formal Suits questions
What makes a suit formal?
Usually a darker cloth, cleaner details and sometimes a waistcoat. We will help you choose for your occasion.
Should I choose a three-piece?
A waistcoat adds formality and lets you remove the jacket and still look dressed. It suits many formal events.
Can I wear it to work afterwards?
Yes, if we choose the cloth and details with that in mind.
What if my event is soon?
Tell us the date at your first fitting and we will confirm whether we can meet it.
What if the fit is not right at the second fitting?
We do not hand your garment over until you are happy with the fit. Our in-house tailor makes the adjustments.
Do you keep my measurements?
Yes. Measurements, patterns and alteration notes are kept on file, which makes repeat orders faster and usually removes the need for multiple fittings.
I live outside Richmond. Can I still order?
Of course. Clients visit our Bridge Road showroom from all over Melbourne and beyond, and once your measurements are on file, reorders are simple wherever you are.
