Confidence never goes out of style, and there’s nothing like having the confidence that comes with wearing a tailor-made suit. The process can seem intimidating, with choices to make at every turn, but with this guide you’ll feel confident with every decision you make during the suit-building process.
The Custom Suit
This custom suit is meant to be as unique as you are. It should make you feel comfortable, give others a glimpse of your personality, and turn heads wherever you go. From suit fabrics to personal monograms, there’s a lot to choose from to make it yours. Here are the basics of the World of Custom.
Suit Fabric
The cornerstone of a custom suit is the fabric. And the options are plentiful. There’s wool, linen, cotton and blends of each. The fabric you choose depends on the form and function of your suit, from structured and formal to casual and relaxed. Most importantly, when choosing a fabric, consider the climate. Our Expert Stylists can give you details to help you make your custom suit perfect for your needs.
Colors & Patterns
The sky’s the limit when it comes to colors and patterns. And it all starts with browsing swatches to see what suits your taste. There’s more to blue than navy, and there’s more to patterns than pinstripes. Here’s some of what’s trending now.

Jacket Lining
How about what you’re feeling on the inside? No, not emotions. We’re talking about fabric linings.
Functionally, the lining in your jacket adds structure and weight. But it also can add flair or complement the suit itself. You can rock the fully-lined suit, a half-lined suit or the unlined suit. Finally, it’s time to express yourself. You’re going to want to let the color of your lining show your personality.
The combinations are endless, so take your time with the swatch book and get advice from our Expert Stylists. That’s what they’re there for.
Don’t think of this as overwhelming. Think of it as infinite possibilities to finish your custom suit with the right details. Now that you’ve covered the basics you are ready to customize the other aspects of your suit, like vents, pockets, buttonholes, lapels and stitching.
