How do I calculate my custom measurements ?

Our proprietary FitSmart algorithm will calculate your unique measurements – all you need to do is answer a few simple questions. There is no need for you to measure yourself or have anybody else measure you.

Are the measurements garment or body measurements? What is the difference?

The measurements we calculate and save are your Final Garment Measurements, based on which your order will be produced. You are not required to measure your body size / measurements or provide us with any measurements at all.

Will my garment shrink?

Owing to the fine nature of our fabrics, a 2% shrinkage can be expected after repeated washing, which is in line with acceptable tolerances. Make sure to check out and follow our wash care instructions to get the best out of your garments.

How long does it take to make and ship?

Regardless of where you have ordered from, an indicative time period for your garment to reach you is 10-14 days from the time your order is confirmed. If you are a first time customer and require a trial shirt, we will try and facilitate the entire order, including the trial, within a period of two weeks.

Why do I see prices in a different currency to where I am located ?

There could be two reasons for it. First, you may be using a proxy server, in which case we are helpless to change that. We can only suggest you access our website from a local internet connection. In other cases, try clearing your browser cache, you should see the price in the intended currency. If this doesn’t work, please contact our Customer Experience team who will be happy to help you place your order.

What’s The Difference Between Made-to-Measure And Bespoke? We Tell You

Often confused with made-to-measure, bespoke has become an over-used term in the retail industry. Loosely thrown around to denote anything custom-made, just like the word haute-couture is used incorrectly for any piece of clothing that may be expensive, it’s time we throw some light on the difference between bespoke and made-to-measure clothing.

Bespoke and Made-to-measure are separated by a thin line, but trust this line to make hell of a difference to the amount you shell out on the end product — it’s pretty significant, to say the least.

Here’s why —

MADE-TO-MEASURE

This type of clothing service uses standardized base patterns, which are manipulated to accommodate a person’s measurements to give a better-fit. It’s simple — consider a base pattern for a 40 size shirt. A made-to-measure brand will essentially use this base pattern and modify it if your measurement rests outside the range of what a 40 size shirt was built to. A little bit of tweaking of patterns is all made-to-measure involves, but ensures a better fit than its ready-to-wear counterpart. It’s considerably expensive than Bespoke, requires fewer fitting trials and still gives you a piece of clothing in your size.

BESPOKE
Drafted from scratch, every pattern of bespoke clothing is made to an individual’s precise measurements. No use of base patterns is involved. The master cuts an individual pattern for every customer. Unlike M2M, bespoke is a fairly lengthy process and involves a number of fittings. And this leaves scope to achieve the perfect fit. Since, every pattern is individually drafted, bespoke clothing comes at with a bigger price tag.

While both, bespoke and M2M are customized services, they differ in the degree to which the measurements can be accommodated, leading to a difference in the costs.

Now, you know why made-to-measure brand might be able to offer a better-fit at affordable prices, while a bespoke one would charge you a premium for a near to perfect fit.
