How The Appointment Runs
What actually happens
You put the garment on and we look at it on you, because a jacket on a hanger tells you almost nothing. Most of the twenty minutes is spent deciding what actually needs to change — which is frequently less than people expect, and occasionally more.
We pin what is being altered while you are wearing it, agree the work, and write it up. If something cannot be done well, we say so at this appointment rather than after we have taken the garment.
We alter garments from any house — Brioni, Canali, Tom Ford, Kiton, Isaia, Zegna, Armani, Hugo Boss, or a jacket that has been in the family longer than you have. New high-end designer suiting takes fifteen percent off the tailoring.
What To Bring
- The shoes you will wear with it. Trouser length is measured against a real heel height, and guessing it is the single most common reason a hem has to be done twice.
- Anything worn underneath that changes the fit — a waistcoat, a heavier shirt.
- Everything you want looked at in one visit, rather than one garment at a time.
Afterwards
We agree the work before you leave, and we will tell you when it is ready to collect. Try it on before you go — we would far rather find something in the fitting room than have you find it at home.
