Made-to-Measure
At Casely-Hayford, our made-to-measure service is more than just 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 bespoke offering, still adheres to our exacting standards of craftsmanship. Starting with our signature House block, each suit is meticulously tailored to your specifications, taking into account posture, balance, and the perfect fit.

Consultation
Your journey begins with an intimate consultation, where we take the time to understand your unique vision. Whether you have a defined style in mind 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 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 garment 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 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 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 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.
-
Finished Garment
Once your garment is finalised and given a meticulous final press, it will be ready for your approval. A final fitting ensures that every detail—fit, silhouette, and craftsmanship—is flawless. Your suit is now ready to take pride of place in your wardrobe, embodying the sophistication and quality that Casely-Hayford is renowned for.
-
Timings
Our made-to-measure service offers a streamlined experience without compromising on quality or craftsmanship. The entire process typically takes 7 to 8 weeks from start to finish. Each garment is crafted from the finest UK, Italian, and Japanese cloths, ensuring both luxury and durability.
