Custom made suit for Grooms

Can't find custom made wedding suits in Suffolk, then why not come to Essex where we can offer this amazing service. A custom-made suit is a personalized and tailored approach to creating a suit that is just for you. Unlike ready to wear suits that are made in standard sizes, a custom-made suit is crafted specifically for you.

You begin by meeting with one of our custom made suit team for a consultation, to discuss your ideas and fabric choices. At the appointment you will have the opportunity to choose the fabric from a wide range of options. This includes different types of fabrics, patterns, colors, and textures. You have the choice to customize details like the suit lining, melton (fabric inside the collar), buttonhole color, buttons, along with other finishing touches.

Prices start from £445.00* for a 2 piece suit and £535.00* for a 3 piece suit.

Custom made wedding suits normally take approximately 12 weeks from start to finish. This may vary at certain times of the year. Please contact us on Colchester 01206 571171 or Billericay 01277 651140 to make a custom made suit appointment.
