While not made entirely by hand, custom orders are made with a pattern from scratch. The canvassing and other critical details (roll of the lapels, button holes) are then handmade. Josué ensures that the fit is perfectly tailored to your body and choices.

1. Measurement
Envisioning Your Custom Suit or Garment
Josue begins by taking precise measurements and discussing your choices for style, cut, and details like fabric, lining, buttons, and more. This personalized session ensures your vision for the custom suit is captured, setting the foundation for a tailored fit.
2. Muslin Fitting
Engineering the Foundation of Fit
A prototype suit, crafted from muslin with temporary stitching and no lining, is tried on to evaluate core fit, posture, and balance. Josue marks necessary adjustments, fine-tuning elements like shoulders, armholes, collar fit, and trouser shape to suit your body and movements.
For clients with more standard body types, this step may be unnecessary.
3. Fine-Tuning Fitting
Refining Structure and Movement
The suit, now nearly complete, undergoes detailed adjustments for optimal drape and comfort. Josue refines subtle aspects such as sleeve length, trouser hem, and overall silhouette to ensure a polished look.
4. Delivery Fitting
Built Once. Worn for Years.
