Why it is not instant
A measured suit is cut and built for your body, then refined at a fitting. That fitting step is exactly what makes the difference between a suit that fits and one that nearly does, so it is worth the few weeks. Off-the-rack is faster on the day but rarely fits the shoulders and chest without compromise, see custom vs off-the-rack.
Planning around an event
For a wedding or a big occasion, start 6 to 8 weeks ahead so there is comfortable room for fittings and any tweaks. For groups, give a little more time so everyone can be measured and fitted, see our groomsmen suits options. If your schedule is tight, our mobile measuring service can come to you for $100 a visit.
Can it be done faster?
Sometimes, depending on the piece and our current schedule. We would rather be honest about whether your date is realistic than rush a fit. Message us with the date and we will tell you straight.
