Men's Attire- how long does it take it to tailor made a custom suit for FH?

Mokobun, on September 18, 2017 at 4:55 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8

As a wedding gift, my parents want to gift my FH a nice tailor made custom suit that he can wear for the wedding.

My question is, does anyone know how long it takes to custom made men's suit?

Since wedding dresses take so freakin long in most cases, I wanted to make sure to plan it in advance.

Our wedding is in May of next year- we are about 244 days out until our wedding.

My parents might come visit us next January/February. Will Jan/Feb be enough time?

TIA all! XOXO

    Do you have a tailor in mind? Why don't you call them and ask?

    It all depends on who is making the suit and where's it being made. I would think 6-8 weeks max?

    The answer to this question will vary based on who you are using, and what their workload is.

    My H got his suit from Indochino. They specialize in custom suits, and I think his took about 4 months? Maybe it was way less, I can't remember.

    Step 1: Find a tailor

    Step 2: Ask them

    My husband had a bespoke suit made from a men's store that specializes in them. He started the process 4 months before the wedding and the suit was complete about a month before, so it took about 3 months total. It required about 4 appointments / fittings. Keep in mind that Made to Measure and Bespoke are different.

    My H got a custom suit and the whole process took about 4 months (though i think he started a bit earlier than he needed to so his dad could be part of the initial appointment--he was buying H the suit and was going away for the winter). do your parents need to be there, or can they just support from afar?
