Frequently Asked Questions
What does bespoke tailoring mean?
Bespoke tailoring means your garment is built entirely from scratch using a unique pattern drafted specifically for your body. Unlike made-to-measure or off-the-rack options, a bespoke garment accounts for every individual measurement, posture detail, and style preference — resulting in a fit that cannot be replicated by any standardized sizing system.
What services does Peter Panos Bespoke Tailor offer?
We offer men’s custom suits including business suits, wedding suits, custom tuxedos, and three-piece suits. We also create custom dress shirts and provide expert alteration services including jacket alterations, pants alterations, shirt alterations, and wedding suit alterations.
How long does a custom suit take?
The full bespoke process typically takes 6 to 8 weeks from your initial consultation to final delivery. This includes fabric selection, pattern drafting, construction, and multiple fitting appointments. For time-sensitive occasions such as weddings, we recommend reaching out as early as possible.
