How does the fitting process work?
/ BESPOKE SOLUTION
After one week from the day of measurement, the suit will be hand stitched to the 'baste' stage, which will enable our tailor to verify his deisgns when fitted on you, and judge how the drape and behabiour of the cloths develops on your body. After a trail on the basting suit, the suit is given back to our local tailoring workshop and re-handsewn incorporating the latest adjustments with your pattern being revised and to be prepared for the second fitting. Then we construct your garments and invite you back to our store roughly two to three weeks later for the next fitting. During the second fitting, our tailor will check the previous alterations and amendments from the first fitting, all with an eye toward making all required further adjustments and refinements, depending on your shape, this may be your final fitting. If you’re happy with everything you can walk out with the suit over your shoulder. If further adjustments are required it will be returned to our local tailoring workshop until it is perfect.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN made to measure AND bespoke SUITS?
Made-to-measure is essentially pre-made suit shapes that are altered based on your preferences and measurements. Rather than starting from scratch, you are fitted from a selection of sample garments, the production party then tailors this for your unique body type and provide you with fabric and detail options. Made-to-Measure tailoring was created over 60 years ago to bridge the gap between ready-to-wear and bespoke.
A bespoke suit is measured and made for your specific body type, taking into consideration all the nuances of your body and gait. The tailors eye is born out of years of experience and the suit is hand-crafted to you, and only you. It is a completely hand-crafted process from start to finish. Bespoke - so called because when customers chose their cloth it was said to "be spoken for".

Does SUITINO offer truLY bespoke?
Yes, at SUITino, we persist in following the London Savile Row bespoke tradition of taking extensive and precise body measurements, providing you with access to worlds best fabrics from various Italian and English mills, and meeting your personal preferences. Your suit will be made mainly utilizing the finest classical hand-made tailoring techniques. Your measurements, the variance in the way you stand, your body shape, and your stature are all taken into account. The cloth, linings and canvasses are then hand cut to your requirements. Once this is done, the parts are sewn together by our skilled craftspeople.
WHAT is SUITINO Near Bespoke CONCEPT?
Near Bespoke Concept introduced by SUITino is the advanced solution simplying the traditional Bespoke Fitting Process while retaining all the level of requirement a Bespoke suit should have in terms of fitness, material and workmanship. More fittings for a custom made suit is not necessarily a sign of better quality. It may just be a sign of less skillful fitter. There is one tailoring concern in New York that makes all its clients suit jackets to a standard size and then does a fitting without the sleeves and collar in place. The client sees a partially made garment held together by basting stitches and assumes he is getting “True bespoke,” when all he is getting is a lot of inexact alterations that kill any style the garment originally had. Do not lose sight of what the ultimate goals are when you are looking for "True Bespoke" — Cut to your size and shape, handcrafted tailoring techniques and world class trimmings, not by the labels attached to the process.
How do I best care for my SUITINO suit?
We recommend specialist dry cleaners rather than using the usual high street cleaners. Drycleaners often use harsh chemicals that can impact on the longevity of your suit. Hang your suit on a decent hanger, using a nice hanger that properly supports the shoulders will mean that the suit will maintain the correct shape.
