Alterations FAQs

Are alterations included in the suit price?

No. Alterations are charged separately from the suit price. The cost depends on the work required, and our tailors will provide a quote during your fitting appointment.

Would I need a separate appointment for suit alterations?

Yes. You will need a pinning appointment, which will be scheduled according to when you need your suit. Depending on our tailors’ availability, they may be able to pin it on the day of your suit appointment. Once the alterations are complete, you will need to return for a try-on before collecting your suit. If any additional adjustments are required, we may need a few more days to complete the work and will arrange another try-on appointment.

I’m getting married. When should I book my alterations appointment?

We recommend booking your pinning appointment at least 4-6 weeks before your wedding. If you purchase your suit well in advance, we can reserve it in our showroom for up to 12 months until it is time for your alterations.

How long will it take for my alterations to be completed?

Alterations take up to 10 working days, depending on the work required and our tailors’ availability. An express service is also available at an additional cost, subject to availability.

Can you complete suit alterations faster?

Yes. An express alterations service is available at an additional cost, subject to availability. Please ask our tailors for further details.

Do I need to bring anything with me for the suit alterations appointment?

Yes. Please bring the shirt and shoes you intend to wear with your suit to ensure the most accurate fit.
