MADE TO MEASURE SUIT

Look Sharp and Confident In a Savile Row Made To Measure Suit

LOOK SHARP, CONFIDENT AND SUCCESSFUL

As a busy, successful man, you want to look sharp, confident and effortlessly stylish yet you don’t have the time or inclination to figure it all out yourself. You want expert guidance.

Perhaps you’ve tried other tailors before yet never quite achieved that perfect result. The fit may have been fine, but it didn’t make you look or feel exceptional. Or maybe this is your first experience with tailoring, and you want to get it right from the start.

That’s where we come in.

At Alexandra Wood, we help our clients discover what truly works for them. Their shape, colouring, lifestyle and presence all come together to create made to measure pieces that make getting dressed an effortless pleasure.

You’re not buying another suit. You’re investing in how you show up in the world, from business to weekends and every event in between.

WHAT IS MADE TO MEASURE?

A made to measure business suit is made from an existing ‘block’ that is modified to fit you in a way that is superior to ready to wear. At Alexandra Wood our exclusive ‘block’ has been designed to make you look ‘hot’! The exact details will remain a secret, but your suit will be designed exclusively for you, with your body shape, skin tone and lifestyle in mind. Nothing makes buying a suit more painless than handing the task over to someone with experience, expertise and a passion for making you look amazing.

You can expect your suit to be fully made, as if ready to wear, but created to your specific requirements around a classic Alexandra Wood design, with extra attention to the details that really count. While a wide lapel may work on one man, it may not on another. We guide you by helping you not to be led blindly by Fashion and by designing you a suit that suits and fits only you. That’s what makes the real difference and where made to measure tailoring and you can really take centre stage.

MORE TO CHOOSE THAN NAVY

We know you’re probably accustomed to navy, but what if we told you that there’s so many shades that could make you look younger, fresher and more professional in a way that works for you and your environment?

We don’t expect you to have all of the answers. We guide you as to which fabrics, designs and styles will fit your needs (Pardon the pun)

Your made to measure suit may need to work for your working day, weddings and special occasions, so striking the perfect balance is key.

MADE TO MEASURE SUITS

THE BUSINESS SUIT

The foundation of every confident wardrobe. Designed to make you look sharper, taller and more refined while feeling completely at ease. We start by understanding your role, how you work and the impression you want to create. Then we handpick the perfect fabrics, from crisp lightweight wools to soft flannels, and cut them to flatter your frame.

It’s precision, comfort and quiet confidence in one.

THE SMART CASUAL SUIT

For those days when formality softens but style still matters. Think unstructured jackets, luxurious cottons and lightweight wools that travel well and look relaxed yet polished.

Instead, Alexandra makes sure that the suit is perfectly moulded to you, whilst at the same time offering you her invaluable insight and style guidance.

FAQ’S ABOUT MADE TO MEASURE

What is made to measure?

Made to measure tailoring is made from a pre existing block. It’s made in much the same way as ready to wear, but created to your exact measurements, use of fabric and lining and design preferences. It’s often used interchangeably with bespoke, but the two are completely different.

Why choose made to measure?

You may choose made to measure because you’ve spent far too much time and energy trawling around shops, where nothing ever quite fits the way you want it to, or it fits but it’s not the colour or style of fabric you want. Plus, there’s no doubt about it, the construction and quality of fabrics is far superior than anything off the peg (Ready to wear) and overall, far less time consuming.

What happens at a consultation?

When it comes to your suit, there’s a lot to do before you even choose a design or fabric. At your initial consultation we, your tailor will consider your body shape, profession and your lifestyle. We’ll also take into consideration how and when you’ll wear your suit. Finally your measurements will be taken. At Alexandra Wood, we take over twenty measurements, configurations and detailed notes. Perfection takes time!

A appointment lasts up to 1 hour with future fittings taking up to 30 minutes each time of which there will be a maximum of three.

What fabrics do you use?

We use only the finest fabrics in the world from reputable suppliers such as Holland & Sherry, Dormeuil, Heritage Weavers, Dugdale and Lori Piana.

How long does a made to measure suit take to make?

Our suits take between 6-8 weeks to make including 1 week for making any necessary changes to your suit. We advise booking an appointment with us at least two months if your suit is required for a specific date.

Do you make other tailored designs?

Yes, absolutely. We help our clients with their entire tailored wardrobe, from suits and shirts to tailored bomber jackets and jeans.

How is payment required?

Our payments are to be made in full at your first appointment with us and are paired with a 100% guarantee, where if for any reason it doesn’t fit perfectly, we will re-make it for you.

We accept all methods of payment including AMEX.

Can I make changes after my tailoring’s ready?

Absolutely. You need to wear a suit to be able to know how you feel in it. It’s one thing to stand stock still at a fitting where it fits perfectly, and another entirely when you sit down and realise that the fit is not quite as you first thought. The reality is that some men like their suit to be super close fitting with breathing being a secondary consideration, where others like a lot more space and movement.

We always advise our customers to call us if they have any problems at all and bring it back in for us to amend.

How much are your made to measure suits?

Our two piece made to measure suits start from £1,800 using the highest quality and construction.
