Consultation

The Casely-Hayford handmade suit process begins with a deeply bespoke consultation, where we take the time to understand your needs, preferences, and unique style. Our goal is to translate your individuality into the cut, design, and overall aesthetic of your custom suit. Whether you’re certain of the bespoke elements you want or need guidance in choosing the right fabrics, trims, and details, our experienced team will guide you through every custom decision.

We will take a comprehensive set of measurements, carefully considering your body figurations and posture to ensure the custom suit accentuates your best features. With over 3,000 hand-selected fabrics from the finest mills in the UK, Italy, and Japan, your options for bespoke customisation are endless. Lapel style, shoulder construction, stitch count—every element is considered during this stage to create a custom suit that is distinctly yours. This initial consultation typically lasts one hour.

Cutting & Sewing

After finalising the measurements and design, the cutting process begins. Your custom suit pattern is carefully crafted by our expert pattern cutters, translating your precise measurements into the fabric of your choice. The pattern is refined through multiple fittings, ensuring an unparalleled level of precision. 

The fabric is then cut and sewn by skilled artisans, bringing your suit to life. Each custom suit is meticulously constructed, reflecting the Casely-Hayford signature blend of traditional Bespoke English craftsmanship with contemporary innovation. Once completed, your digital pattern is stored for future commissions, ensuring a seamless process for any future bespoke garments.

Fitting

Around six to seven weeks after your initial consultation, you will return for two or three additional fittings. During this process, your custom suit is further sculpted and refined to perfectly fit your body. Each adjustment is made by hand, ensuring that the final result is nothing short of perfection. Every tweak to the fit is also updated in your custom suit pattern, allowing us to create future pieces with the same precision and attention to detail.

Finished garment

The completion of our handmade suits represents the highest level of tailoring offered at Casely-Hayford. Each jacket is crafted with a full floating canvas, hand-padded chest piece, and meticulously shaped lapel, designed to mould to your body over time. This ensures that your custom suit retains its perfect shape while offering unparalleled comfort. 

We combine the timeless intricacies of traditional English Bespoke suits and their craftsmanship with a forward-thinking, modern perspective, resulting in a garment that is both classic and contemporary. The final stage of the handmade process involves an expert presser, who uses steam and pressure to mould the garment into its final form. After a final fitting, your finished custom suit is ready to take home.
