The five stages of purchasing a made-to-measure suit, which makes it so pleasurable
There comes a times in the life of Australian male adults when they decide that they are going to make an effort and upgrade in certain departments. It might be joining a gym and using the services of a personal trainer to get in shape, or perhaps they receive a hint that they might try a bit harder with their personal hygiene.
Others might already be at the top of their game but decide new clothing is overdue. And, rather than taking the easy option and buying online, which, like takeaway food, offers an instant boost but very little afterwards, the visit to a bespoke tailor provides far more satisfaction.
Being able to wear made to measure suits is something special and is something that every man should take advantage of. As well as being the owner of a quality product, the five stages of purchase also provide great enjoyment compared to the alternative options.
1) Thinking about making a purchase
The process starts as soon as the person begins to think about owning clothing of outstanding quality. It might be provoked by attending a function or a business meeting and admiring others who are wearing clothes that fit perfectly and are stylish. This can kickstart ideas to see what kind of suits fashionable people are wearing before heading out to visit a tailor with an excellent local reputation.
2) Visiting an atelier
Entering an atelier for the first time makes a customer feel special as they begin the consultation process, being shown the available fabrics and design options. Even those with no previous experience will be guided and explained everything that they need to know.
Leading tailors provide an hour of their time so that things can be considered and measurements taken so that the suit when finished will fit perfectly, perhaps like the must-have jewellery of their partner.
3) Measuring
Measuring might sound simple, but it is a vital part of the process to ensure that it is correct. Compare this to going to the shops and trying to find something off the peg, which is unlikely to fit perfectly, and can end up being a waste of money when its lack of quality sees it lasting a short time. Feedback can be given to the tailor on how the clothes are preferred to be worn when going for the made-to-measure option.
4) Second fitting
A second fitting ensures that everything is perfect in terms of size. It again proves a pleasurable experience seeing the suit how it will look after it has been returned to the boutique after being made with loving care with just one individual in mind, with consumer guarantees included.
5) Final fitting
After any required adjustments have been made, it is time for the final fitting, with the pattern being updated where alterations were made so that anyone wanting to purchase a future suit have all their details on file. At this point you might also consider what accessories you will team your suit with, such as dress socks.
Owning a made-to-measure suit provides pride and joy, with the enjoyment beginning as soon as ideas are thought of and a consultation is made at a bespoke tailor.
