Our Philosophy 
It's difficult to understand what makes one custom suit worth $500 and other worth $5,000 or more! Custom suits are like cars. Some are Toyotas while others are Bentleys. All are good for someone, yet some are better for others. The suit should "reflect" the individual's taste level and stature. For clothing, it boils down to quality differences in three categories: the Fit, the Workmanship, and the Fabric.
The Fit:
At least 95% of custom suits today are more like ready-made suits than a custom suit. They don't fit as they should! These suits are made from block patterns that assume a "normal" shoulder slope and a "standard" distribution of measurements! To the the degree that an individual's posture varies from the norm, the suit "misbehaves" in way or another. Sloping shoulders look more sloped, a flat rear end looks flatter, etc. This compromised approach to custom clothing is called made-to-measure. It's a shortcut process by tailors who no longer know how to draft an individual pattern on the cloth to address the shape of each individual.
The Workmanship:
Custom suits can be put together in a matter of hours, or can take several days to a week to complete. The amount of handwork, level of craftsmanship, and thousands of tiny stitches, determines how expensive the suit looks and how well it hold up over time. The continuing look of newness, 25-30 years, comes with the use of expensive components and many days of handwork, which are compromised in less expensive clothing.
The Fabric:
Pure wool is available from $10 per yard to more than $1,000 per yard. With four yards per suit, it's easy to calculate how one suit can cost so much more than another. Our "Smart" Approach includes finding quality labor and duty-free fabrics making our clothing an extraordinary value.
