Ultimate Guide To Buying A Custom Suit Online (EASY Step By Step Process)
About this video
Centeno provides a comprehensive guide to purchasing custom suits online, covering the decision to go custom versus off-the-rack, the measurement and fitting process, fabric selection, design choices, and how to work effectively with manufacturers. He emphasizes the importance of clear communication, starting with one garment at a time, and understanding that fit adjustments are a natural part of the custom tailoring process.
Key takeaways
- Centeno recommends starting with simple, classic colors like navy or charcoal gray for your first custom suit, and keeping design elements minimal to avoid overcomplicated garments that are difficult to wear repeatedly
- Centeno advises ordering one garment at a time and going through multiple fittings before ordering in bulk, ensuring the manufacturer adjusts your pattern so future orders will fit perfectly
- Centeno argues that 100% worsted wool is ideal for most custom suits, and cautions against blends with polyester or overly high super numbers, which he contends don’t justify their increased cost
- Centeno stresses that clear communication with the manufacturer is critical to avoid misunderstandings, and recommends using a manufacturer with a block system that allows you to try on pre-made garments to confirm fit preferences
