FAQs

What are the benefits of choosing custom clothing?

Choosing custom-made garments offers several advantages, including a perfect fit tailored to your unique body measurements, premium quality fabrics, and the ability to personalize your suit according to your style preferences. Custom tailoring ensures comfort, boosts confidence, and enhances your appearance, making it a worthwhile investment for business and casual occasions.

Is Custom Clothing a good investment?

Although custom clothes may cost more initially than ready-to-wear, it is a wise investment since:
Longevity: Both the style and the construction of custom-made clothes are made to last due to higher quality fabric and highly skilled tailoring
Cost Per Wear: Usually less than regularly purchasing less expensive, mass-produced clothes, these pieces are worn more frequently and last longer because of better fit and longer life of garment.
Sustainability: Investing in classic, timeless pieces helps to lower waste and the environmental impact related to fast fashion.

How long does the initial fitting appointment take?

Typically, the first appointment can take anywhere between 1 to 1 ½ hours depending on the client. Some clients prefer to spend extra time selecting fabrics while other clients prefer to have the stylist make selections on their behalf. It is up to the client. The stylist is there to ensure that the client is completely satisfied with the garment that has been created.

What is the difference between made-to-measure, custom, and bespoke?

Made-to-Measure: Made-to-measure suits start with a basic or standard pattern. A tailor then takes your measurements and adjusts the pattern to ensure a personalized fit.
Custom: Custom suits are meticulously crafted with your unique measurements in mind. A tailor takes precise measurements, considering factors such as the slope of your shoulders and hips, as well as the length of your legs, to create a tailored pattern just for you.
Bespoke: Bespoke, a term derived from the British meaning ‘spoken for,’ represents the epitome of tailoring. These suits, adorned with over 1,000 hand stitches in the lapel alone, are meticulously fitted to hug the body. Bespoke suits are considered the pinnacle of the sartorial world, requiring no pressing for a flawless appearance.

Are MCF garments made-to-measure, custom or bespoke?

All MCF garments are custom. During the measuring process, over 24 measurements are taken for suit fittings and over 19 measurements are taken on shirt fittings to ensure that each client’s garment fits their body style. The pattern is then saved for future orders but can easily be adjusted due to weight changes.

How long does receiving my custom-made men's clothing take?

The time it takes to receive your custom-made men’s clothing depends on the complexity of your order and the specific garments you choose. On average, custom suits, shirts, and jackets take about 6-7 weeks to complete, but we will provide a clear timeline during your consultation. Rush options are also available for certain items if you need them sooner.

Does MCF only do men’s clothing?

Initially, MCF only offered custom clothing for men. However, now MCF isn’t just for men. In early 2024, we began offering a huge assortment of fabrics and silhouettes for women. We are very excited about the new addition of Ladies Custom Fit to our assortment!.

How does pricing work?

With custom clothing, the pricing is determined by the quality of cloth selected for the garment. At MCF, we are committed to offering the best quality at the best value. Please feel free to contact us for specific pricing.
