Wedding suit: Why Bespoke?
A custom made wedding suit ensures that you look your best during your wedding
This is due to several reasons:
1. Measurements: With a truly bespoke suit, the pattern is cut based on your measurements, giving you the best possible fit. Everything is then in proportion to each other, allowing you to accentuate and camouflage your features. This is the basis of a bespoke wedding suit that gives you the desired fit and look.
2. Materials: If you have your wedding suit bespoke made, you determine the fabrics, lining, buttons and finish of your suit yourself. So you are not bound to seasonal fashion but have a choice of thousands of fabrics in all kinds of colors, styles, textures and other properties. Think of it as cooking with an unlimited number of ingredients. This is also ideal for the man who does not want a wedding suit but his own outfit for a theme or destination wedding, for example. If you want white cotton pants with a jacket in a beautiful green linen fabric, that is possible, etc. A good tailor will help you make the right choices.
3. Model: The type of suit and therefore the model largely determines the associations and style that your wedding suit communicates. Suppose you want a wedding suit in peaky blinders style, then a bespoke made wedding suit can make your life easier because you can have it made exactly like that regarding style details. So you don't have to look for a store that happens to have trousers with a pleat, turn-up, side pulls and a button closure. You can simply provide visuals and then this can be made exactly like that. A mood board is a golden tip.
4. Method: A bespoke made wedding suit can be put together in different ways so that it exactly matches your wishes in terms of wearing comfort and the desired style. For example, you can have a suit made unlined if you are getting married in the hot sun in Italy. This way you not only look great but you also ensure that the suit is much less warm.
What do you want to express with your wedding suit?
Things to consider when choosing a wedding suit:
Think carefully about why you actually want to wear a suit as a groom, or would you rather wear a different wedding outfit?
What is your partner wearing and how do you want to come across together?
How do you ensure that your wedding suit matches the location, the wedding theme and the season?
Do you only want to wear your wedding suit during the wedding or afterwards?
We believe that you want a representative appearance so that your suit fits well, is well put together and you feel good when you wear it.
Not only during your wedding but preferably also a suit or wedding outfit that you can wear for the occasions and career afterwards.
This automatically ensures that you are well dressed and radiant at your wedding. Many grooms also use terms such as: Chic, Bohemian, Vintage and Representative and preferably whether it can withstand a knock or two. With the fabrics we advise you what to look for.
Buying a wedding suit or having a wedding suit made to measure: a world of difference in quality and appearance
As a groom, you can buy a wedding suit in a store or choose to have your wedding suit made to measure. If you buy a suit, you have to visit various stores and hope that you find an outfit that represents what you want to express with it. That fits your specific body measurements, shapes and posture in terms of size. And then hope that the wedding suit model meets the different wishes of you and your intended. Think of the model, the fabric, the color, durability, design/motif, finish, service, etc.
That is very difficult because suits that hang in the store are designed by someone else without specifically taking your wishes regarding model, material, fit and type of use into account. Often the price is attractive. But cheap is expensive. After all, what use is a wedding suit that has ifs and buts when it has to be worn at something as important as your wedding and this largely determines your first impression?
To prevent this, more and more grooms and their guests are choosing to have their wedding suits custom made. Perhaps that is why you have ended up on this blog. If you choose to have your wedding suit made bespoke, you will experience a number of advantages that we will explain in more detail below.
A bespoke made wedding suit ensures that you first of all consciously discuss everything with people who have more experience with this and thus choose more consciously. In fact, the suit is made especially for you with your goal in mind. And of course very importantly, made especially for you in higher quality than the store on your measurements and figure in the style and model that you want. As far as we are concerned, the recipe for being well dressed during and after your wedding.
Fit / Model of your wedding suit
By this we mean all the elements of your wedding suit. Think of the number of buttons, the pockets, the lapels, the inside pockets, your trouser closure, whether or not to have belt loops, a single or double breasted vest/waistcoat, whether or not to have a skirt etc. etc. The advantage of custom clothing is that you can simply indicate what you want and that this can and may differ per person. Of course, you will also be well advised so that you know what the consequences of your choices are. And this brings us to what we call style, see this as the fine tuning of your model so that it evokes an association such as Peaky Blinders, English, Italian or whatever you want.
Style of your wedding suit
Based on your model and style, you also determine how you have the clothing measured. An outfit in Tweed with a winter look will be a bit looser than a Linen summer suit with an Italian touch. The great thing is that this is also done per person with custom-made clothing and may differ. This way you can ensure that you have the style that suits you and your wedding day best. There is nothing worse than a groom who puts on clothing that he does not feel comfortable in. The fabric is the factor that ensures that you are recognizable and that you fit in with the story and the look of your wedding day. How cool is it if the Peaky Blinders lover can also have this reflected while someone who loves Italian, for example, can do this too?
If you are smart enough to have your wedding suit custom-made in such a way that you can also wear the jacket, trousers and vest separately, you also create the opportunity to mix and match. For example, you can wear your jacket with jeans when you want to dress up but don't have to wear a suit. And believe me, this also works well when visiting your in-laws.
Fabrics of Your Wedding Suit
It has been mentioned before that fabrics largely determine your appearance and association. Don't forget that good fabric also ensures that your wedding suit fits better, lasts longer and is also simply more beautiful. Of course, you first look at the color of your wedding suit and most grooms still end up with blue because this is the icon of correct clothing and can therefore be worn often. But you can also choose other colors, structures, designs and motifs. At the moment we see more and more variations and combinations for wedding suits. Often a blue suit with structured fabric and then combined with a vest in a different color and/or pattern. You can also vary with your lining and buttons and add your own touch. After all, tastes differ.
Measurements of Your Wedding Suit
All joking aside, the measurements are really the most important. Clothing should be measured in such a way that it flatters you as a groom. Unfortunately, we are not all built like a Men’s-Health cover model. Wedding suits from the store do not fit the unique body shapes that you have. Try to find a store that has something to your liking and then make sure that it fits your wedding. You often get that the fabric is nice but the fit and model are not, not the impression you want to make and what you want to spend your hard-earned money on.
So do it right and have your wedding suit measured and made to your personal measurements, then you have overcome the biggest challenge. By measuring personally, your custom wedding suit not only fits well, but you can also take into account your way of wearing, moving, your posture, size changes and the previously mentioned style nuances. Often requested with custom wedding suits is a beautifully made vest in a beautiful model and slim-cut trousers in which you can still move and preferably a little tapered. Well, for that you really have to go to the tailor.
Construction of Your Wedding Suit
This is the way your clothes are put together but also in what circumstances. A wedding suit from the store is made in a factory or mass studio and especially with brands the goal is not to dress you but profit maximization. We think that this does not benefit the quality and very importantly is not done in the best circumstances. The lower the price the greater the chance of abuse.
When you have your wedding suit made to measure, so 100% custom made, you know that you are dealing with experts with years of experience who are paid for their skills. This largely excludes bad conditions and ensures a sustainable and fair-trade made wedding suit. Such a specialist is paid more and works for clients who come back based on the quality. In addition, you only use raw materials that are really necessary. That gives us a better feeling.

Fitting your Wedding Suit
Your custom-made wedding suit is made especially for you, so it must first be put together so that you can come and try it on. The fitting is crucial because this is where you really dot the i's and cross the t's. Advice is also very important here so that you dare and can make your choices with confidence and awareness. Think about further tailoring your jacket, but can you still move? Those trousers could be slimmer on the calf, but won't they hang when you get up and is this really representative at a wedding? A very conscious conversation with the previously mentioned experienced advisors in which you go from good to great with your clothing. This is then expertly adjusted so that a few days later your wedding suit is ready to be worn with pleasure.
Matching your personality and figure so that you feel good and are ready for the challenges that lie ahead.
And if you do have damage to your suit later or your measurements change, this can of course also be repaired and adjusted. We even go so far that when a customer places a new order, damage and wear are repaired free of charge, the Midlife Refresh is what this is called. The suit is ready for the years to come, which is very handy.
