Our Philosophy 
Handmade versus Fused
Until a few years ago, all suits were made with a “hymo-canvas” inner lining. Better quality suits (ready-made or custom-made) had more handwork than less expensive brands but all were made “properly”! As labor costs increased and it became difficult to find good tailors, technology developed a process by which 90% of suits are made today; Fusing. Virtually all suits under $2000 are fused (hot glued), instead of being hand stitched. The construction of a suit is what makes it look expensive and determines whether it will continue to look good and survive dry cleaning for 30 years, or just one year. Fusing takes only minutes, vs. hours of handwork.
These major differences in manufacturing are just more compelling reasons why your money is better spent having clothing custom made. A better made, better fitting suit with more convenience and value, not to mention a much better selection of fabrics. vs. buying a designer name off-the-rack, and promoting a distribution system for profits at three levels. That much of an investment should buy the superior fit and convenience of Greg Chapman’s!
