The Secret to a Suit That Fits (Even if You Didn't Buy It That Way)


The Modern Dilemma: Your Suit Doesn't Know Your Body


The way we buy suits has changed. We hunt for deals, click 'add to cart' on great online finds, or score incredible vintage pieces on sites like Vinted. The problem? One size truly does not fit all.

Whether you bought your suit for half price in a clearance sale or picked up a perfect-looking jacket online, you face the same reality: it's designed for a general form, not your unique physique. It might be baggy in the waist, or the sleeves might be too long because the perfect size wasn't left.

That's where IMAGE Tailors comes in. We offer the modern way to buy a suit: You find the style you love, and we make it fit you perfectly. We specialise in custom alterations that transform a standard garment into a piece that looks like it was created just for you.



Custom Alterations: Taking "Off-the-Rack" to "On-Point"


At IMAGE Tailors, we understand that your suit's fabric and style are only half the battle—the fit is the true measure of quality. We provide the essential adjustments that bridge the gap between a standard factory cut and your ideal look:

  • The Silhouette Adjustment: We tailor the jacket's waist and the trousers' legs (taking in) to give you a clean, contemporary line. This is crucial for eliminating that boxy, ill-fitting look often seen with clearance or online purchases.

  • Sleeve and Hem Personalisation: Sleeves that cover your hands and hems that bunch are dead giveaways of a poor fit. We adjust the length of your sleeves and trousers to your specifications, ensuring the correct cuff exposure and trouser break.

  • Shoulder Refinement: A shoulder that sags or is too bulky is the hardest flaw to hide. At IMAGE Tailors can make precise adjustments to the shoulder line, structurally improving the suit for lasting comfort and sharpness.

  • Lining and Finish Details: Beyond the major cuts, we perform the detailed work that elevates a suit—ensuring the lining sits correctly and all finishes are clean and professional.


Why You Should Seek Quality Suit Fabrics for Custom Alterations


At IMAGE Tailors, we often see the difference firsthand:

  • Longevity: High-quality natural fabrics like wool or wool blends have a natural "give" that allows our alterations to hold their shape better and last longer, giving you years of wear.

  • Drape and Flow: Premium cloths (cotton, linen, worsted wool) inherently hold a cleaner line. Our custom alterations enhance this natural drape, turning a good-looking fabric into a stunning silhouette.

  • The Finish: While we can improve any suit, cheap, glossy synthetic materials can often look shiny or stiff regardless of the fit. Choosing a suit with a better fabric maximizes the final, professional finish you get from our expert tailoring.

Essentially, custom alteration at IMAGE Tailors is the final, essential step that ensures your quality suit investment looks, feels, and performs exactly as it should.
