When you have a special event coming up, a wedding, a black-tie gala, or an important work function, the last thing you want to worry about is an ill-fitting suit or tuxedo. At IMAGE Tailors in Finsbury Park, we believe that quality suit fabric demands a custom fit.

This guide is for every man buying a new suit, reviving an old favourite, or ensuring his formal wear is flawless for the next big event.

Why Quality Fabrics are the Only Smart Suit Investment

You might be tempted by cheaper options, but a suit made from quality fabric—like wool, cashmere, or premium cotton—is the only one worth tailoring. Here’s why you should prioritise fabric:

Durability & Longevity: High-quality wool resists wrinkling, holds a sharp crease, and maintains its structure for years. This durability ensures that the cost of your professional alteration is a smart, long-term investment.
Tailoring Potential: Quality construction and fabric allow our master tailors to perform complex alterations, giving you a superior custom fit that cheap materials can't properly handle.
Sustainability: Investing in one durable suit and having it expertly tailored is a smart, sustainable choice. You buy once, wear for years, and elevate your entire professional wardrobe.

Sizing and Fitting: The IMAGE Tailors Rule for Jackets and Trousers

Have an ill-fitting suit or tuxedo for an event? We're here to help.

The golden rule when buying any suit off the rack is to always size up. It is always easier for our skilled tailors to take fabric in than to let it out.

We specialize in adjusting the complex areas of your jacket and trousers to achieve that perfect, confident look:

Jacket: We focus on adjusting the shoulders, chest, and sleeve length to give you a clean, sharp silhouette. This is crucial for your tuxedo fitting and business wear alike.
Trousers: We ensure the waistline is perfect and the trouser break falls precisely on your shoe, eliminating bunching and creating a polished line.
