Tailored Suits for Elwood clients
Whether it is your first custom suit or your tenth, the process is the same: two fittings, a fabric you have chosen by hand, and adjustments made in-house until it is right.
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.
Linen and lightweight wool are popular choices for Elwood weddings and long summer evenings.
From the bay, Richmond is an easy trip for a first fitting, and reorders are simple once your measurements are saved.
Most Elwood clients make the 7 km trip to 214 Bridge Road twice: once to design and measure, once for the second fitting.
Neighbours in Elsternwick, St Kilda and Brighton often come in together for group and wedding orders.
Elwood sits in the City of Port Phillip area, postcode 3184.
We don't hand your garment over until you're happy with the fit. Any adjustments are made by our in-house tailor.

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 hire suits?
No. We do not offer suit hire. Every garment is made for the person who wears it.
Where are your fabrics from?
We hold over 20,000 fabrics, including Australian merino woven in Biella, Italy, and cloths from mills such as Ermenegildo Zegna, Dormeuil and Loro Piana.
How much will it cost?
Every order is quoted individually because the fabric, style and number of pieces change the price. Send your details and we will come back with a custom quote. The final price is confirmed after your details are checked.
