Tips For Your First Made To Measure Suit Experience

About this video

Sacawa provides five essential tips for navigating a first made-to-measure suit experience: keeping the design classic rather than trendy, developing a clear game plan before visiting a showroom, choosing in-person shopping over online options, remaining open to professional guidance while maintaining your preferences, and allowing adequate time for production and alterations. He emphasizes how this process, while exciting, can be overwhelming without proper preparation.

Key takeaways

• Sacawa recommends sticking with classic colors like navy or charcoal grey and conservative styling details for your first made-to-measure suit to ensure longevity and wearability
• Sacawa advises researching basic suit elements (lapel styles, pocket types, vents, etc.) and having a clear vision before entering a showroom to streamline decision-making
• Sacawa argues that in-person shopping with professional measurements is essential and superior to online made-to-measure options, which he warns can be risky
• Sacawa recommends allowing 6-8 weeks for production plus an additional week for final alterations, and cautions against requesting expedited orders
