Q - What exactly is a made to measure suit?

 

A - to make it simple, a made to measure suit is a suit that is made for you from scratch. unique measurements will be taken and the suit will be constructed to meet them. An off the peg suit ( a suit that you will find in high street shops) is made to fit a standard size and shape, often needing many alterations to fit the customer's specific shape. this is not made to measure

 

 

q - What is the difference between a made to measure suit and a bespoke suit?

Another difference is the price. Most made to measure suits in Leeds start at around £800 for a two piece. Bespoke suits in Leeds can start from around a £2000
