With the loosening of the dress codes in all the sectors of professional life and the decline (not to say the collapse) of the low quality ready-to-wear suiting industry, the custom suiting business is on the rise in Europe, in the USA and all around the world. Most gentlemen who are wearing suits or jackets nowadays, are doing it by choice and no more by obligation. This small sartorial revolution is the main reason why, almost paradoxically, the custom suiting industry is progressing with the opening of more and more custom suiting salons and showrooms in all the major cities around the world. Thus, a new challenge arises, as in this business you can now find anything from sartorial disasters to magnifient crafting.
In this episode, Hugo analyses this movement and provides advice and simple tips in order for you to choose the right Made-to-Measure company for your next suit, jacket or tailored garments.
For this purpose he takes 5 examples of MTM companies who are doing an excellent job in this field: 2 in the USA, 2 in France and one in the Czech Republic.
