To look perfect on your big day, many grooms turn to tailors for custom-made wedding suits.
With tailored suits, grooms can get exactly what they want. Below are a few key points to remember when tailoring your wedding suit, especially if it’s your first time.
1 - Fabric/ Material
High-quality fabric ensures a high-quality suit. The thickness, durability, and breathability of the fabric are key factors in the longevity and comfort of your suit. Premium fabrics like Wool, Linen, or Blend not only offer comfort but also add an element of elegance.
Choose the right fabric based on the wedding setting and weather. Don’t hesitate to ask your tailor for advice, as they are experts in providing the best recommendations.

2 - Tailoring/ Cut
Pay attention to the precision of the cuts. Sharp and sturdy tailoring ensures your suit fits perfectly and highlights its design. You can also ask to see finished suits to evaluate the tailor’s skill.
3 - Stitching
Like the tailoring, the stitching should be smooth and even, with no loose threads.
4 - Suit Lapel
Grooms should consider the style of their suit lapels. As it's a custom suit, there are several options like Peak Lapel, Notched Lapel, or Shawl Collar. Peak Lapel and Shawl Collar styles are perfect for formal events, while Notched Lapel suits are more casual and reusable.

5 - Suit Vents
The back vent is a vertical slit at the back of the jacket that enhances its shape. Choose based on your needs: double vents are more formal, while single or no vents offer a simpler, less rigid look.
6 - Single or Double-Breasted
Consider whether a single or double-breasted suit suits your body type and the wedding setting. Single-breasted suits work well for outdoor or beach weddings, while double-breasted suits are ideal for indoor and formal settings.
7 - Suit Lining - Half Canvas
Finally, focus on the lining. The current trend is the Half Canvas technique, which softens the suit without sacrificing structure. This makes the suit more breathable lightweight and cheaper.
In summary, if you're considering tailoring a suit for your wedding, consider details such as fabric, stitching, cutting, and design elements. These factors will help you achieve a perfect suit.
