Why Even the Finest Fabric Can’t Save an Off-the-Rack Suit

You can spend a fortune on a men’s suit made from the best Italian wool. But if it doesn’t fit your frame, what is the point.
Does any of these sound familar:
- Too long in the sleeves.
- Too wide in the shoulders.
- Too baggy in the legs.
And suddenly, your suit looks… sloppy.
Even off-the-rack suits from premium brands can fall short. Because they’re not made for you — they’re made for an average size that fits almost no one.
At IMAGE Tailors in Islington, North London, we help men to make their suit look like it was custom-made for him, and specialise in expert suit alterations and professional tailoring services that turn a good suit into a perfect one.
Tailored Suits Are About More Than Fabric — They're About Fit
Yes, the fabric may feel luxurious, the lining smooth, the colour exactly right. But what good is all of that if the fit is off?
You’ll know it the second you put it on. Others will notice your legs that are; too long, too short, too tight. Jackets that bunch, flare out, or hang wrong.Sleeves that swallow your hands or sit awkwardly above the wrist.
Even the best designer suits, the kind you invest in, need tailoring by an experienced suit specialist to truly work.
