Get Your Best Suit Made to Measure by Coppley
A handsome suit is three things: it fits like a glove, the fabric is luxurious and it sends the message you want (e.g. “I’m powerful,” “I’m suave,” “I’m ready to party.”).
This trifecta can be difficult—if not impossible—to achieve with an off-the-rack suit from a department store (not to mention all the hours you spend in a cramped dressing room with unflattering light trying on suit after suit). The best way to get the suit you desire is to have it made to measure by Coppley, one of the top made-to-measure suit makers in North America.
If you are unfamiliar with made to measure, it is essentially the creation of a suit (or any garment) from pieces of fabric that have been cut to your body’s specific measurements before the suit is sewn together. This process results in a suit that fits perfectly the first time you put it on. Should something not be quite right, however, a made-to-measure suit is much easier to tailor, which is usually just tweaking here and there. It is much harder to cut, un-sew and re-sew an off-the-rack suit. Note that made-to-measure differs from custom in that the garment is created from a “template” (e.g. the nearest fitting suit to your body), whereas custom and denotes making everything from scratch. Also with made to measure, you get to choose the fabric, buttons, type of breasting, the number of vents, and more.
Coppley, which is based in Canada, has more than 500 high-quality fabrics to choose from, and every season features new swatches, in addition to their arsenal of classics. They also give you a plethora of options on details such as single or double breasted, single vent or side vents—you name it. Meanwhile, the staff here takes 17 measurements to ensure a perfect fit.
With all of Coppley’s options, you can nail the fit, ensure a high-quality fabric, master the details and know that when it all comes together, you’ll have a suit that perfectly projects the look you’re going for.
(In case so many options sound intimidating, don’t worry: a staff member will happily guide you through the process, and make your decisions simple and easy).
