How It All Works

1: Let’s Talk

First up, we’ll chat. Where are you rocking this suit? Boardrooms? Rooftops? Weddings where you are definitely going to give the groom a run for his money? We’ll get into your style, your vibe, and how your clothes need to work for your life.

And picking your fabric? That’s the fun part. Take your time, ask your questions, touch all the swatches you want. We specialize in sharp British and Italian cloth from the world’s most exclusive mills. (Yes, the ones other brands name-drop.)

2: Made Just for You

Once you’ve picked your fabric and details, we take over. Measuring everything, your posture, proportions, even that one shoulder that sits a touch higher than the other (don’t worry, we all have it on file).

Then we hand-draft a pattern just for you, which we’ll tweak and refine over a few fittings. The first suit takes a bit longer (quality isn’t rushed), but once it’s done, we keep your pattern on file for all time.

3: Cut It Out

Your fabric is laid out, chalked up, and cut by hand. No shortcuts, no machines doing the heavy lifting. Every piece—canvas, lining, buttons, etc.—gets bundled together, ready for the first stitch. Winding its way through the sartoria stitched piece by piece ready for your first fitting.

4: Baste Fitting

Now the fun begins. You’ll try on the rough version of your suit (no, it’s not “Insta-ready” yet). This stage is all about the fit. We will analyze every inch, scribble chalk notes, and explain what’s happening so you’re not left nodding along pretending you know what a “dart” is.

We’ll take it apart again and tweak it. Yes, it’s a process. No, you’re not being difficult—this is how our custom process works.
