Frequently Asked Questions
Bespoke & Made-to-Measure
What is bespoke?
Bespoke is the creation of a garment built from an individual paper pattern drafted specifically for one client and crafted largely by hand. Every detail is made from scratch and shaped to the client’s unique posture, proportions, and movement.
To learn more, please visit our What Is Bespoke? page.
How long does the bespoke process take?
Our bespoke process typically requires 14 weeks from initial appointment to final delivery, allowing time for multiple fittings and the full handcrafting process.
How does made-to-measure differ from bespoke?
Made-to-measure begins with an existing pattern block that is modified by adding or subtracting measurements to better match the client. While it provides personalization and efficiency, it does not offer the complete creative freedom or sculpted precision of a hand-drafted bespoke pattern made entirely from scratch.
For a deeper explanation of true bespoke craftsmanship, please visit our What Is Bespoke? page.
How many fittings are required?
Most clients experience three to four fittings, depending on the garment and the level of refinement required. Each fitting helps us perfect balance, drape, and posture.
What is the investment range for a bespoke garment?
Our introductory pricing begins at:
• Suits: $2,150
• Sport Jackets: $1,850
• Tuxedos: $2,250
• Trousers: $775
These prices reflect introductory fabrics; premium and exclusive cloths are also available.
Where are your garments made?
Our bespoke garments are crafted by an eight-tailor, Savile Row–trained team located just outside of Hong Kong. Their skill and precision reflect the highest standards of traditional British bespoke tailoring.
What fabrics do you offer?
We carry an extensive selection from Europe’s finest mills — including Italy’s most luxurious houses and Britain’s storied weaving institutions.
To explore our curated collection, please visit our Fabric Cabinet page.
Can I bring inspiration photos to my appointment?
Absolutely. Inspiration images help guide design discussions and ensure your garment aligns seamlessly with your vision.
Appointments & Process
Do I need an appointment to visit the studio?
Yes — Tailored Society is by appointment only. This ensures every client receives a private, uninterrupted, and personalized experience.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
Your first appointment is an immersive introduction to our process. Together, we explore fabric selections, discuss garment styles and design details, and complete a full measurement and posture analysis. This visit forms the foundation of your bespoke garment.
What happens after my final fitting?
Our relationship continues beyond delivery. We remain available for any questions, refinements, or adjustments that may be needed once the garment has been worn and lived in. True bespoke evolves with the client, and we are here to ensure it continues to fit beautifully.
Do you offer wardrobe consulting or style guidance?
We do not offer standalone consultations. All appointments are reserved for clients who are ready to invest in a garment or expand their wardrobe, allowing us to focus entirely on creation and craftsmanship.
Do you travel for clients?
Yes — we travel extensively to serve clients in several cities.
For private travel directly to you, we require a $15,000 minimum order.

What is the timeline for Sartorial Casuals orders?
In addition to ready-to-wear, we offer made-to-measure and made-to-order casual garments through our partner brands. These custom commissions typically take 2 to 8 weeks, depending on the piece and season.
Do you offer custom denim?
Yes — we offer made-to-measure denim with approximately 30 fabric options, including various washes, weights, and stretch profiles. This allows us to create denim tailored precisely to your preferences.
Weddings & Special Occasions
Do you create wedding attire?
Yes — wedding attire is one of our specialties. We are preferred partners with several local venues, and our work is featured in weddings across the country.
To explore more, please visit our Weddings page.
How far in advance should I book for a wedding or event?
We recommend beginning the process six months in advance.
The absolute minimum we can accommodate is three months, though earlier is ideal for the best results.
Policies & Care
How should I care for my bespoke garments?
Suits, sport coats, and trousers should be dry cleaned only — and sparingly, as excessive dry cleaning can degrade fine fabrics. Only clean when a noticeable odor or stain is present, and consider spot treating when possible.
For shirts, we recommend a cold wash at home, followed by a brief tumble to remove moisture before hanging to dry. Dry cleaning is also an option for convenience.
Do you alter garments not purchased from Tailored Society?
We do not offer alterations on garments purchased elsewhere. Our alteration services are reserved exclusively for Tailored Society clients to ensure every adjustment aligns with our standards of craftsmanship.
What is the payment process?
We require a 50% deposit at the time of order to begin fabric procurement, pattern drafting, and production. The remaining 50% is collected upon delivery of the completed garment. This ensures transparency and supports the highest level of craftsmanship throughout the process.
