For jacket sleeves, a quarter to a half-inch of the shirt cuff should be visible. For trousers, the ideal length (the "break") depends on the style, but generally, there should be one slight, clean fold where the trouser meets the shoe. We provide expert guidance on this during your fitting.

A suit's canvas is its internal skeleton, determining how it drapes and ages. Fused suits use glue, while half- and full-canvas suits use a stitched canvas for superior shape and longevity. We are experts in all three, but our true craft shines in altering canvassed garments, where the delicate internal stitching requires master-level skill to deconstruct and tailor correctly.

Yes, this is an advanced tailoring procedure often called 'lapel surgery.' It requires meticulously un-stitching the lapels, re-cutting them to a more modern width, and re-shaping them to lie perfectly flat. While many tailors will not attempt this complex job, our couture expertise makes this one of the transformative alterations we offer.

To preserve the new structure, always use a high-quality, wide-shouldered hanger to support the shoulders. Avoid frequent dry cleaning; instead, steam the garment to remove wrinkles and allow it to 'rest' for at least a day between wears. This expert care maintains the integrity of the fabric and our craftsmanship.
