Arrange a Tailoring Consultation
The starting point
The first conversation
A suit for your working week, a jacket that goes everywhere with you, a coat you look forward to wearing. We begin with the place the garment will have in your life, and the way you want to feel in it.
Bring a favourite jacket, an image or simply an idea. Tell us what you enjoy wearing and what never feels quite right. Together, we explore the proportions, movement and details that will make the piece yours.
Two tailoring routes
Two ways to create your garment
Bespoke
An individual pattern is developed for the wearer, with fittings that guide the garment’s balance and proportions as it takes shape.
Made-to-measure
An established pattern is adapted around your measurements and preferred silhouette, with cloth and design choices made for the piece.
We help you choose the approach that suits your garment and explain its construction and fitting stages before you place your order.
Weight / Texture / Drape
Choosing the cloth
Wool, cashmere, cotton, linen: each brings its own feel and character. We explore the available cloths with you, looking for the texture, colour and drape you will enjoy wearing.
Feel the difference between a soft, fluid cloth and one that holds a stronger line. Think about the seasons, the layers beneath and how often you will reach for the finished piece.
We share the composition and care of each cloth. If you prefer to avoid a particular fibre, tell us early so we can look at the materials throughout the garment.
Made in Montréal
The shape, and the work behind it
We create your garment with specialist Montréal ateliers. The shoulder, lapel and length establish its silhouette; pockets, buttons and lining bring the details together. Each choice contributes to how it looks and feels on you.
Half-canvas and full-canvas options are available. We explain how each supports the cloth and shapes the garment, helping you choose the construction that suits the piece and how you plan to wear it.
Balance / Ease / Movement
Finding the fit that feels yours
Measurements tell us where to begin. A fitting lets us see how the garment rests on your shoulders, moves with you and falls when you stand at ease. This is where small adjustments make a real difference.
In person
In-person tailoring can include a basted fitting where appropriate. We assess the garment while it is still taking shape, before the final finishing. We explain the fitting sequence for the approach you choose.
By remote consultation
If you are joining us remotely, we guide you through the measurements and discuss how we will check the fit. We confirm the service available to you before you order.

Your next step
Begin with a conversation
Bring the shoes and layers you expect to wear with your piece, along with any garment that helps show what you like. We would be pleased to hear your ideas.
For a remote appointment, our preparation guide explains how to get ready. We will confirm the measurements you need; having someone help can make them easier to take.
