I took my boyfriend for his first time custom made suits /u/HeadConsideration565 /r/malefashionadvice
My boyfriend wanted a custom suit so I went with him to his booked appointment at Suitsupply. We arrived on time and the staff member, who was booked to see him, was busy with another customer so we waited another 10 minutes. The staff asked my boyfriend what occasion the suits would be for. The staff suggested a Milanese button and full canvas, which added up more cost but I thought it was reasonable since those are better qualities and features to have for him. But I found it bizarre that the staff suggested 5 surgical buttons. My boyfriend preferred the usual 4 surgical buttons for the sleeve. Then the staff asked my boyfriend what size shoe he wears and was able to guess correctly that he wears size 28 for pants. The staff brought jackets and pants for my boyfriend to try. Then the staff used pin needles to estimate cut-offs since the trousers were slightly long and the sleeves were long. The staff placed a pin needle on the right sleeve, the right lower pants, the upper back of the pants. Then he told my boyfriend to take off the suits so he could go inside the fitting room to measure. It took about 1 to 2 minutes for the staff to do it and then the staff said everything is good and the suit would fit my boyfriend well.
Is this normal? It was the first time we went to get a custom suit for him. When I looked online, it seemed like there were a lot of measurements to be done on the actual person such as shoulder, waist, biceps, and legs. But the staff didn’t measure my boyfriend’s body at all. When we went online to see my boyfriend’s custom size. Somehow, they have the chest width, waist width, jacket length, sleeve length, bicep around, armhole, sleeve rotation, upper leg width, and seat width all listed. How did they come up with these numbers if they did not physically measure my boyfriend’s body? Are they basing this off the jacket and trousers he tried with the pin needles the staff placed?
