5 Reasons to Buy a Custom Suit | Why I Love Made-To-Measure Clothing

About this video

McGoff explains five reasons why men should consider custom or made-to-measure suits instead of off-the-rack options. He covers how custom tailoring solves fit problems for non-standard body types, allows control over proportions and details, provides fabric selection options, enables personalized customizations, and offers long-term convenience once measurements are dialed in.

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues that custom suits solve the fit problems of sleeve length and jacket length that are difficult or impossible to alter at a tailor, which significantly impacts overall appearance and confidence
• McGoff recommends tailoring proportions like lapel width, tie size, and trouser taper to individual body type to create a polished, competent appearance
• McGoff emphasizes that custom suits allow selection of fabric weight and seasonality beyond just color, which is important for climate and wear occasion
• McGoff notes that once measurements are established, reordering custom suits becomes simple and convenient, making it a worthwhile long-term investment despite initial effort
