Generally speaking, the production process of high-end custom-tailored suits is meticulous and cumbersome. It usually takes tailors about 25 to 30 days from taking the customer’s measurements to the final delivery. However, the specific production time is not fixed and will vary due to the following factors:
1. Complexity of Customized Design
In the process of making high-end custom-tailored suits, the complexity of customized design is one of the important factors affecting the production time. If customers have higher requirements for the suit style design, such as wanting a unique collar shape, a special cuff design, or having more demands for clothing details (e.g., adding exquisite embroidery patterns on the placket, using a special stitching process on the pocket edges), tailors will need to spend more time on conception, cutting, and sewing during the production process, and the production time will naturally be extended accordingly.
2. Fabric Supply from Fabric Merchants
The fabric supply situation also has an impact on the production time of suits. If customers choose common and ordinary fabrics, fabric merchants can usually supply them in a timely manner, which will not have a significant impact on the production progress. However, if customers choose special fabrics (such as fabrics with rare textures or special materials) or imported fabrics from abroad, the procurement process of such fabrics may be more complicated, as it requires international transportation, customs clearance, and other links. Fabric merchants often need more time to deliver the fabrics, which will lead to additional waiting time for suit production and thus prolong the overall production cycle.
3. Production Craftsmanship
High-end custom-tailored suits always prioritize quality. To ensure that each suit meets the standard of excellence, tailors will adopt more delicate and complex production craftsmanship. For example, during the sewing process, tailors will use more hand sewing instead of machine sewing. Although hand sewing takes more time, it can better ensure the flatness and firmness of the stitches as well as the fit of various parts of the clothing. In addition, tailors will also perform repeated shaping and adjustments on key parts of the suit, such as the shoulders and waist, to ensure that the suit is more comfortable and well-fitted when worn. These quality-oriented production techniques mean that the production of high-end custom-tailored suits often takes more time.
4. Fitting of Semi-Finished Garments and Adjustments
Fitting the semi-finished garment and making adjustments are indispensable and important steps in the production process of high-end custom-tailored suits, and this link will also increase the production time to a certain extent. After the semi-finished suit is made, tailors will arrange a fitting session for the customer. Through the fitting, they will check whether the size of the suit is appropriate, whether the style meets the customer’s expectations, and whether it is comfortable to wear. During the fitting, if there is a size deviation in the suit (e.g., the sleeve length is too long or too short, the waist circumference is too loose or too tight), or if the customer puts forward adjustment suggestions for certain detail designs, tailors need to make careful modifications and adjustments to the semi-finished garment based on the fitting feedback and customer needs. The process of fitting and adjustment may need to be repeated 1 to 2 times, and each adjustment takes a certain amount of time, which in turn increases the overall production time of the suit.
