MADE TO MEASURE takes tailoring to the next level. Unlike bespoke or custom clothing, which starts from scratch, MTM involvespersonalizing a base model suit. Our expert tailors take 15 to 30 measurements, to accommodate everything from large shoulders to differingarm lengths to that oversize watch you prefer wearing. Once your measurements are on file, our sales associates can personalize futurepurchases for you via BlackBerry, and have everything ready on your next visit (or shipped to you). MTM suits, thanks to moderntechnology, cost only slightly more than off-the-rack models, and are ready in four to six weeks, with fewer fitting sessions than bespokeclothing.“Though many of our MADE TO MEASURE customers are men who require special sizing,” say our associates, “More and moremen are opting forMTM because they seek a greater swatch selection than is possible to hang in the store.” RO B E RT H AY N E S -P E T E R S O N

THE PERFECT FIT

S H I R T SCOLLARS � Long, medium or short points, spread, button-down, evenpinhole. If you want to break the rules (say, short collars with short necks),go for it. We’ll make sure it fits comfortably and sits perfectly.

CUFFS� French cuffs are hard to find off the rack. Not with MTM.One or two vertical buttons (horn, shell or what have you), placket buttonswith horizontal buttonholes, even contrasting interior fabric.

BODY� Sport cut or a fuller frame. Inseams and hem lengths canaccommodate style preferences and specific body types. The shoulderseam can lie a little narrow or wide to accentuate your torso perfectly.Want a pocket or don’t? No problem.

FABRICATION�The rich variations on awhite shirt (or any other hue) arevast: Shade, pattern, open weaves, thread counts, Egyptian cotton or blendsfor stretch. A contrasting pattern inside collars and cuffs adds a unique flair.

S U I T SJACKETS� Pick your lapel width, a higher or lower gorge (lapel notch)or none at all. One, two or three buttons. Side or rear vents (those slitsin the suits). Surgeons cuffs (working buttons) and rolling lapels (a sign ofa better-quality suit) are all possible.Want a trim “Italian” fit? We can do that.

PANTS� No break to a significant break in the pant leg, a higher or lower risein the waist, cuffed or uncuffed. Pleats or flat-front. A tapered leg or straight.We’ll help you stay contemporary without over-doing it.

FABRICATION � In addition to a greater variety of navies and pinstripesthan you might imagine, MTM is a great place to explore the “Supers,”a category of high-quality, superfine wools. Describing the fineness (width)of the wool, Super 120s, 140s and 180s didn’t even exist a decade or so ago.Though these fabrics can be “finicky” (delicate and challenging to clean),they really are the caviar of fine wools suits.
