From lightweight wools for warm days to heavier cloths for winter, we help you choose a fabric that suits how and where you will wear it.
Families in Blackburn often come to us for weddings, school formals and milestone events.

Tailored Suits questions
What is the difference between bespoke and off-the-rack?
Off-the-rack suits are made to standard sizes and altered afterwards. A tailored suit is cut from your own measurements and posture, so it fits from the first fitting and is refined at the second.
Can I choose every detail?
Yes. Lapel width and style, button stance, pockets, vents, lining, trouser cut and finishing are all your choice. We will guide you if you would like advice.
Which fabric should I choose for Melbourne weather?
A mid-weight wool works most of the year. We can show you lighter wools and linens for summer and heavier cloths for winter at your fitting.
Can I add a second pair of trousers?
Yes. Extra trousers are a popular way to extend the life of a suit you wear often.
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.
How many fittings will I need?
Usually two. The first (about 45 minutes) covers design, fabric and measurements. The second happens when the garment arrives, and any final adjustments are made in-house, usually within a week.

Yes. Blackburn clients visit our Richmond showroom regularly. Our showroom is on Bridge Road in Richmond. We welcome clients from anywhere in Melbourne and beyond, and once your measurements are on file, reorders are simple wherever you live.
