Here in Brisbane, you often need to remove your jacket in summer to remain comfortable. That is why we recommend altering your shirts to improve your style.

We can fix sleeve length and ballooning at the back, ensuring your shirt always sits well without the need to constantly adjust it and tuck in excess material. To make it even easier to get a perfectly fitting shirt, we also have an affordable made-to-measure shirt service.

Of course. Having your suits fitted as a group is the best way to ensure you all have the same consistent look on the big day. Just be sure to book an appointment in advance so we know to expect you.

Please note that we don’t allow you to bring food or drinks into our studio, but we are near plenty of great bars and restaurants if you wish to celebrate after your fitting!

We don’t have a price guide online, because every suit is made differently. If you want to know how much your alterations will cost,request a free quote.

This is a bit more of an art than a science, because it depends on a few factors.

For example, shorter trouser hems have been trending for a while. We determine whether that is the right look for you by assessing how wide the trouser legs are, your body shape and whether you will be wearing the pants to a casual or formal occasion. Being able to weigh up all of these considerations is how we add value to our clients.

Even so, there are some general rules to keep in mind when buying a suit:

• Shoulders: The width of a jacket or shirt should sit on your shoulders perfectly, as shoulders are the most complex alteration. The edge of the shoulder seam should sit in line with the widest part of your arm. If you can see a dent between the edge of the shoulder pad and your arm, the garment is too big.
• Fit the widest part first: Whether it’s your shoulders, chest, tummy, waist or hips, always make sure your garments fit your widest areas, as we can alter any areas that are too big elsewhere.
• Torso: If you have a slim torso, look for shirts that are slim cut with no pleats in the back and perhaps have darting. If you have a wide torso, look for shirts with a pleat in the back (usually a centre pleat or box pleat).
• Sleeves: Sleeves can be shortened easily, but they cannot be made longer, so avoid garments where the sleeves are too short. If you are buying a jacket with surgeon’s cuffs (functional buttonholes on the cuffs) be aware that the sleeves can only be shortened from the shoulder, which is a more complex process.

Yes, our fitting stylists can travel to residences or offices within 15km of Brisbane CBD. A call-out fee does apply – see our Concierge page for more information about call-outs.

Our point of difference is making suits look on-trend and complementary to your shape and style. Often, all it takes is some tapering of the trouser legs and slimming of the jacket sleeves, and the look of a suit is transformed.

Once we see your suit, we can tell you instantly how to elevate it – this is a big relief for our clients who do not wear suits often and need that extra guidance.

You generally only need to visit us for the initial fitting and to try on the altered suit, however for complex restyles, we may need an extra fitting to make sure it is just right. Your fitting stylist will let you know upfront what is involved.

It’s important to allow yourself time to have your suits altered well. We recommend planning your fitting for a time when you aren’t feeling rushed – this allows you to relax and enjoy the process of working with your fitting stylist.

• Major alterations: 2-4 weeks
  These include changing the shoulder width of a jacket, or removing the pleats on trousers.
• Minor alterations: Within 5-10 days
  These include shortening and tapering trousers, and shortening sleeves.

We let you know at your initial fitting how long the process will take, and email you as soon as your garments are ready.
