For centuries, every tailor had the pattern making skill to fit his clients. About 40 years ago, modern day tailors living in western countries, cut short their apprenticeship time by utilizing standard block patterns to make their suits. This compromised fit because the pattern rarely conformed to individual client's "shape." True to the original approach to making custom clothing, our clothes fit like no other modern day clothing. Not to be confused with “made-to-measure tailoring,” an individual pattern made for each client reflects 35 separate measurements and one’s unique posture. Once a client, you will become accustomed to a superior fit, feel and look to your clothes, that will prompt you to replace every item in your wardrobe with custom clothes. As your size expands or contracts, from order to order, your pattern is easily altered for weight changes... just pick up the phone and order clothes, and have them delivered within weeks, to anywhere in the world. Once you have had clothes made the Greg Chapman way, you will never go back to ready-made, off-the-rack clothes again.
Here is why most people don’t look as good in their clothes as they could:

Ready-to-wear suits are made for a person with an “average” posture (1) and a “normal” (2 inch) slope to their shoulders.

People fall into one of approximately twenty different possible posture and shoulder combinations. An off-the-rack suit is made for a person with “normal” posture. When someone's "shape," does not conform, it causes the suit or jacket to “misbehave” in a predictable way depending on the specific posture of the individual.


The "made-to-measure suit", shown at left, doesn't conform to his short waist length, nor the backward hang of his arms; causing the wrinkles at his waist and down the sleeves. Our suit, shown at right, is made from his pattern to address his waist length and the sleeves have been rotated into the armhole to address the backward hang of his arms.
Off-the-rack suit pants are often too long in the crotch, dragging across the thigh with each step. The crotch depth is proportioned to the chest size, and gets deeper as the ready-made suit size gets bigger. Once someone becomes accustomed to their proper crotch depth, they'll never settle for a standard "rise" length again.

Historically, a man had a tailor to maintain his
image, just as men today rely on an attorney, a banker, and an
accountant to steer them through business... With mass production
of clothing came a terrible compromise! When suits began to be
pre-manufactured, they no longer fit as they did when custom
tailored, and a person no longer looked their best. Over the years,
men and women no longer understood how their clothing should fit,
or the advantages of projecting an image that indicates their
status or class in society. Today, people still judge others by how
they appear... a wise man or women uses that to their advantage.
They understand that designer suits and department store
salespeople are no substitute for a “tailor” who with a wealth of
experience, guides a person through a lifetime of successful
business and social advances. There is no substitute for custom
made clothing produced by a good tailor!

One can enhance their career dramatically by projecting an image of success. This "look" of success can only be achieved completely by wearing clothing that is made from your own pattern and conforms to your shape!
Mass produced clothing is all made for an "average posture" and most people are not "average." The clothes literally look better on the hanger than on 90% of the people who purchase them.
Today few people have ever experienced clothing that fits as it should, regardless of where or how they purchase. Consequently, they settle for clothes that almost fit their "size" but not their "shape."
My 38 year career in custom tailoring has been devoted to making each of my clients look their best by creating clothes that fit "their" personal body shape perfectly without the need of fittings, alterations, or shopping. My clients become accustomed to the unique "feel" as much as the "look" that comes with the superior fit of our clothing and more often than not, replace their entire wardrobes.
