How to pick a tailor?

First impression!

Yes, that’s the most important. The first impression is either good or bad. Trust your gut feeling.

Check his works!

A tailor’s previous works tell a lot. Keep in mind that a tailor does not work on fashion models, and his customers do not necessarily own a perfect shape. It is the task of the tailor to ensure the best possible appearance for its customers.

At the same time, references are vital. The more styles a tailor can create, the wider the area he has previously gained experience and probably the more prepared he/she is. If every suit looks “the same”, it probably means one thing: that’s the only thing he’s good at. A qualified tailor knows how to create a variety of garments with different designs and technologies.

Any references?

A good tailor has references as well as returning customers that also means experience, which is very important. So if your tailor has lots of referrals, it is a good indicator that you are in the right place.

Range of materials

At first, maybe it is surprising, but the better a tailor, the more bravely he works with quality materials. A good tailor is not scared of expensive fabrics since he doesn’t worry about ruining it and then having to reorder the fabric and pay for that himself. The experienced hands of a good tailor work confidently with the most special clothes as well.

Quality of the details!

The devil’s in the details, especially for a suit. Tiny little details make a suit special, which are only visible when watched carefully. What are these? The quality of the hand sewing, the regularity of hand-stitching, the uniformity of the dressings, the consistency of the seams, etc.)

Length of deadline

The deadline is revealing. Depending on the technology used, it takes a minimum of 30-40 hours to make a suit. Quality work cannot be done in less time. If you are promised that your suit will be ready in a few days, then either it will be rushed or the craftsmanship will be lacking. In special cases, with 100% manual craftsmanship, making one piece can require 80-100 work hours.

However, suit making doesn’t need to take half a year either; that indicates a capacity problem.
