If you’re thinking about buying a bespoke or made-to-measure suits for yourself, the first thing that springs to mind is an image of a good-looking model wearing a superbly tailored suit that fits him well. Most individuals have that vision in their heads and go out to shop for a decent suit for themselves, but they are then perplexed as to what they should get.
The first alternative for a rookie in the world of gentlemen’s formal clothing is a ‘off the rack suit.’ People go to a mall or a mart to buy a suit for many reasons such as a special party, a wedding, a meeting or a date, an interview, a funeral, or just for a change. However, purchasing a suit is not as simple as purchasing goods from a supermarket.
People who buy off-the-rack suits quickly learn that they have not only gotten a fantastic deal on the price, but they have also gotten a cheap product. The suit purchased off the rack does not fit the wearer perfectly (as they are pre-made). Some people have long arms, while others have short arms. Almost all of these suits will have glued lapels, which will degrade into card-board lapels after washing or ironing.
The fitting of arms and trousers, waist and pockets are all based on standard dimensions, and the problem is that unless we are identical twins, we do not all have the same universal measurements. Not only that, but the cloth quality is uncertain, and you are unable to select the design and color of your choice, but must instead select from a restricted number of pre-made suits.
All of these negative characteristics may make it difficult for a newbie to purchase a suit, as well as provide a highly unfavorable experience in which they feel tricked and may never spend money in purchasing suits for themselves again. So, what should a person do if they want to acquire a suit, particularly in a country like Australia?
