Frequently Asked Questions about Suit Alterations
Here are some of the most common questions we receive about Suit Alterations:
When attending your suit alterations appointment, bringing the right items is essential to achieve the best possible fit. Be sure to bring the entire suit — including the jacket, trousers, and waistcoat (if applicable) — even if only one part needs altering. This allows the tailor to make balanced, proportional adjustments. Wear a well-fitted dress shirt, as it helps the tailor accurately assess sleeve and jacket lengths. Bringing the shoes you plan to wear with the suit ensures the trouser length and break are tailored precisely. If you usually wear a belt, especially for waist fittings, it’s helpful to bring that too. Lastly, wear any specific undergarments, such as an undershirt or shapewear, so the fit reflects how you’ll actually wear the suit on the day.
While most suits can be altered, the scope of possible adjustments depends on several factors, including the seam allowance, fabric type, and overall construction of the suit. Bespoke or high-end suits typically offer greater flexibility for tailoring, as they often include extra fabric in the seams to allow for more extensive modifications. In contrast, off-the-rack suits may have more limited options due to their standardised design and minimal seam allowance.
Absolutely — we regularly alter suits bought online to achieve an ideal fit. As sizing can differ between brands, professional tailoring helps refine the overall look and ensure a sharp, well-fitted appearance.
Definitely! Our skilled tailors can taper trousers, slim the sides of a jacket, and shorten or lengthen sleeves to create a cleaner, more refined silhouette.
