With everyone in such a rush these days, the off the rack sales of clothes has taken over from having clothes custom made to fit. The number of custom tailors in NY has dwindled or so it would appear to those who spend their time in the bargain stores trying to find a suit that fits well enough to wear to the office. However if you are one of those who tend to think they are saving time and money buying an off the rack suit you might want to think about what you are getting for your money before you spend it.

When you go into a discount chain, you are stuck with what they have to offer as far as cut and style as well as the fabrics the suits they have are made from. Unlike the custom tailors in New York, the discount stores order their suits in bulk from a factory most likely somewhere in the Orient where the only thing that really matters is the numbers that they produce. They produce marginal quality at best and all use the same materials to make the suits and for the most part they are not very good materials. Unlike a suit made by custom tailors in New York, the suit you can buy in a discount store is made by someone working from a standard size pattern. What this means is that sizes are averaged out, meaning if you are a certain height, you must weight within a few pounds of an average weight. The biggest problem with this is that very few people are actually that perfect average size. So that off the rack suit ends up fitting you quite poorly and looking like what it is an inexpensive off the rack suit. While an off the rack suit might do if you are not concerned with your appearance, it really does not cost that much more to have New York custom tailors work with you to create a suit that is made to fit you perfectly.

To make your suit fit you properly the tailor will create a pattern that is just yours and no one else's. To do this he will ask for a series of measurements of your body to be taken that covers every aspect of fit from collar size to measuring both arms since very few of us have arms that are the same length. When you are done being properly measured, the custom tailors in New York will have a large selection of materials for you to choose from. For your shirt you can choose from pure cotton to the finest silks and for the rest of the suit you can select from a range of wools, worsteds, silks, tweeds and more each of them top quality materials from only the finest mills in the world.
