The clothes make the man – or so they say. But that’s certainly true, however, when it comes to custom-made suits! The right one can make a difference and turn your look from drab to debonair. If it’s your first-time buying one, here are a few handy pointers for you:
Know your budget
It’s not going to come cheap. Men’s Journal describes bespoke suits as the ultimate standard to beat in men’s clothing. But plenty of tailor shops actually offer great deals. So wrap your head around how much you can afford and go from there. Do your research. Research shop prices and brands and see which ones fall right into your ballpark.
Go for quality, not brand
You’re lucky if you already know certain brands that work for you. However, don’t let brand names get in the way of choosing a good suit. Attention to detail will always be a major factor in what shop to go for. Let that guide your buying decisions instead of a blind devotion to brands.
Ask for the House’s cut
Finding the best tailored suits in Dallas often involves asking for the shop’s trademark ‘cut.’ Ask for a sample and try it on. That should give you an idea of what kind of size or cut or style the tailor or store specializes in. If you love the fit, then you’re bound to like the rest of the inventory.
Remember you’re not the expert
While you don’t have to follow everything they say, keep in mind that tailors or sales staff know more about custom clothing than you do so ask them what they think. Listen to their advice instead of dismissing it out of hand.
Be realistic
A custom-suit won’t make you look like Leo, George or Tatum. But it helps make you look like the best possible version of yourself. So if you want a great buying experience and fit, go with bespoke clothing.
