How to measure for a suit

Only the professional tailors know how to measure your suit and pants. What are YOUR measurements? Do you have any experience measuring yourself? You can see measurements that our company takes by hand. If you dare, you can learn by using our techniques and measure yourself. Keep in mind that there are subtle differences in measurements if you miscalculate the placements. If not done correctly, the suit that is tailored for your size could be cut and stitched awkwardly by a few centimeters. This is why all of our suits build starts with a full consultation.

Our fabric inventory is selected and updated to offer a new stylish and fashion-forward look. Most of our products are made from precious fibers, such as cashmere, virgin wool, cotton, and silk with Moroccan elegance. Our tailors source fabrics directly from the Morocco Empire, Ottoman Empire, and Persian Empire.

The most common Raj (suit) fabric is made from 100% wool. We offer Raj made from exotic cloths. Raj (suits) made from cotton, linen, cashmere, and silk fabrics are also readily available. Less expensive suits are made from polyester or other synthetic fabrics. Suit cloth may be a blend of two or three of these different types of material, which gives the cloth the benefits of each of the blended materials. There are an infinite number of variations on the market.

For classic all-season wedding suits, we recommend a cotton blend with wool and cashmere. Cotton, silk, and linen are typically reserved for warmer months. Corduroy, flannel, and tweed Raj (suits) are typically colder weather suiting. For shirts, 100% cotton is generally the most desirable. Polyester, while wrinkle-resistant, will not last as long as cotton.

1. Rotate your suits
2. Wear a suit once or twice a week at most, and allow for a few days between wears. This allows it to recover its shape and release wrinkles accumulated throughout the day.
3. Get an extra pair of trousers whenever possible. Trousers get the most use and tend to wear out more quickly than jackets, so rotating the trousers can extend the life of the suit significantly.
4. Brush off the garments with a suit brush after wearing, it removes any excess dust or dirt that could settle into the fibers.
5. Hang the suit correctly. Be sure to use a hanger with a wide and proper curve to preserve the shape of the shoulders, and hang the trousers correctly to avoid creases. Let the suit breathe on the hanger after being worn. Give it a good amount of space to air out before putting it back into the closet.
6. Treat and spot-clean any stains as soon as possible, whenever possible.
7. Try to avoid dry-cleaning wool suits. The high temperatures and chemicals can deteriorate the fibers, and the pressing machines flatten the chest and lapels. Once a year is usually sufficient if it must be done, be sure to find a cleaner that would take good care of your suit.
8. Don’t steam a wool suit or put it into a steamy bathroom to release wrinkles. It may successfully rid of a few wrinkles, but it also could make the rest of the suit lose the shape that’s been expertly pressed into the cloth with heat and pressure. Wool fiber has a memory, and steam can cause the fibers to lose that memory.
9. Get garments altered when necessary, clothing that is too small can wear out more quickly at the seams and can stress the cloth.
10. For storage, ensure the above steps of brushing and hanging are completed, and place the suit in a garment bag to keep it free from dust and away from moths.
