Custom tuxedo versus custom suit
Whatβs the difference between a suit and a tuxedo? We break it down for you and include a handy image showcasing the differences.
For all your velvet wedding suit and tuxedo needs
After having a velvet-tuxedo-seeking client come to us recently complaining about how he had been turned away by several other custom suit companies, we decided to write a post about the matter. See, we LOVE velvet, and we're very experienced at working with it -- it's a tricky fabric, so experience is essential. Whether it be a velvet winter wedding suit or a velvet tuxedo, we know how to turn out better garments in this material than anyone else.
Real clients in real custom suits
Except for some of our earliest shots, all the photos on our website are of real clients wearing suits that we have actually made. We use real clients to model our suits, not models (although some of our clients have actually been models, which is great too!), because we want everyone to see how great they too could look in a custom suit. We want to give an accurate impression of what we can do for you. And because we think our clients are truly beautiful and we want to celebrate them.
A Revolution In Women's Suits
Weβre so thrilled to be making more and more custom suits for women. Come and join the womenβs suit revolution!
