As a tailor, we often get fit related questions. You can visit a tailor because your measurements have changed or because you want a different fit. As a tailor, I think it is important to clearly explain to customers how sizes relate to styles and fits.

If you really want everything in your suit, jacket or trousers to fit 100% and with the details you want, you will have to have it tailor-made from scratch and visit a bespoke tailor.

If you look at the suit style of the past, it is a different fit than we see a lot now. The fit was wider, jackets longer, trousers were worn higher. Nowadays suits are cut much slimmer.

It may be that you still have an old suit that you used to wear with great pleasure, but have recently left it hanging in the closet because it no longer suits your current measurements, taste or clothing style. Or you see a nice jacket in the store that is no longer in your size and, for example, only one size larger.

It's a shame to leave it hanging or not wear it anymore, because otherwise it is (still) a beautiful piece of clothing.

So, time for a visit to the tailor:

Here we show you how you can breathe new life into your clothes. So that you can wear it with pleasure again. This way your clothes will last longer and you will enjoy them more. You don't throw away a bicycle if your tire is flat.
