MADE-TO-MEASURE & CUSTOM SUITS LONDON

At Casely-Hayford, our made-to-measure service is more than just custom tailoring—it’s a personal experience that reflects your individual style and character. Every consultation is an in-depth exploration of your needs, preferences, and lifestyle. We pride ourselves on offering expert guidance on styling, fit, and fabric, ensuring that every garment not only meets but exceeds expectations. This streamlined process, while more efficient than our handmade offering, still adheres to our exacting standards of craftsmanship. Starting with our signature House block, each custom suit is meticulously tailored to your specifications, taking into account posture, balance, and the perfect fit for your made to measure suit.

Consultation

Your journey begins with an intimate consultation, where we take the time to understand your unique vision or help to shape it. Whether you have a defined style in mind for your made to measure suit or need guidance in choosing the right elements, our experienced tailors will lead you through each decision. From selecting the finest fabrics to refining details like lapel styles and shoulder construction, we ensure that every aspect of your custom suit reflects your personality.

We’ll take a comprehensive set of measurements, considering body figurations and posture to accentuate your best features. Our extensive library of over 3,000 cloths—sourced from the most prestigious mills in the UK, Italy, and Japan—offers a diverse range of textures, patterns, and weights. This attention to detail sets the foundation for a made to measure suit that feels as exceptional as it looks. The consultation typically lasts one hour.

Cutting & Sewing

Once the measurements are finalised and the design details agreed upon, the cutting process begins. Your measurements are translated into a digital pattern, ensuring precision from the outset. Our pattern-cutting team expertly sculpts your chosen fabric to follow the contours of your body, using our signature House block as the foundation. Every custom suit is crafted to embody your preferences, with fabric cut to laser precision for a flawless fit.

Your digital pattern is kept on file for future made to measure orders, making it effortless to commission additional pieces that maintain the same standard of excellence.

Fitting

Your made-to-measure suit will be assembled to a near-complete state, at which point you’ll return for a fitting. During this session, we refine the custom suit by chalking, pinning, and adjusting the garment to achieve the perfect fit. Every alteration is carefully recorded and updated in your digital pattern, ensuring future commissions are seamless and tailored to perfection.
