Good
questions.

Anything else, call the studio at (317) 848-6050.

How long does a custom suit take?

Usually 4 to 6 weeks, handcrafted in-house, depending on the cloth and design. Got a date to hit? Say so at your fitting and the team will work to it.

Bespoke or made-to-measure?

Both. Bespoke starts from a pattern drafted just for you. Made-to-measure adjusts an existing pattern to your measurements and costs less.

Are alterations included?

Yes. Fitting adjustments and the initial alterations are included in the price of a custom suit.

Can I bring my own fabric?

Yes. Bring it to your fitting and your clothier will tell you whether it suits the design you have in mind.

Can you copy a suit from a photo?

Not exactly, out of respect for design rights, but your photos are a great starting point for something of your own.

Do I need an appointment for alterations?

No. Walk-ins are welcome for alterations. Custom work is by private appointment.
