Custom-made suits for women and men differ from other suits available in department stores and are generally of a higher quality. However, there are a few details you should look for in a custom tailored suit, to make sure you are getting the very best quality available.

First, a custom-made suit is not the same as a made-to-measure suit. Made-to-measure means that the suit is made from a standard pattern, and tailored to fit you. Custom-made suits, also known as bespoke, are sown from a custom pattern created out of a series of measurements taken of you. Your pattern will only be used for you, and for no one else.

A custom jacket from Alan David NYC has a layer of canvas in the front to help it hold its structure, instead of fusing material, which is used in cheaper suits. Custom tailored suits also should have hand sewn buttonholes, and horn buttons instead of plastic ones.

Finally, a good quality custom-made suit will feature pick stitching on the lapels and along the lining on the inside of the suit. This is a meticulous hand stitch that is only done on the finest garments. At Alan David NYC, your custom suits and formalwear will have pick stitching. These are just a few of the details that will set your custom tailored suit apart from the rest.
