Made-to-Measure Process

What is Made-to-Measure?

Made-to-Measure is the art of creating a garment shaped around you. Instead of choosing a standard size, we begin with your proportions, posture and preferences, then build a personalized FitProfile that guides every decision, from the cut and silhouette to the finer details. Each piece is crafted exclusively for you, using high quality constructions such as traditional, full canvas or unconstructed makes, all designed to enhance comfort, movement and longevity. The result is a garment that feels natural the moment you put it on: precise in fit, refined in appearance and aligned with your lifestyle. It is a considered experience, combining expert guidance with intentional craftsmanship to help you look and feel your best, every day.

How is Made-to-Measure different from bespoke or Ready-to-Wear?

Ready-to-Wear follows fixed sizes. Bespoke is created entirely from scratch. Made-to-Measure sits in between: personal, precise and intentional. At Atelier Munro, your garment begins with an advanced digital pattern built around your personal FitProfile, refined to your measurements, posture and style preferences. You design every detail with guidance from your Style Advisor and receive a personalized fit without the lengthy timelines of traditional bespoke. Once designed, your piece is ready in around 3 to 5 weeks.

How long does it take to make a Made-to-Measure item?

A Made-to-Measure item typically takes three to five weeks from the moment it is ordered. Your chosen fabric, the season, and the design may influence the timeline, but every suit is crafted with care using your personal pattern and assembled by specialist makers.

What happens during a first appointment?

Your first appointment brings your style, fit and identity together in a effortless, guided way.

Your Style Advisor will:
  • take your full measurements and assess posture
  • guide you through fabrics from leading mills
  • help you design every detail of your garment
  • discuss when, where and how you intend to wear it
By the end, your personal FitProfile is created and your garment is ready to be crafted.

A considered beginning to a piece made precisely for you.

Pricing & Value

How much does a Made-to-Measure suit cost at Atelier Munro?

A Made-to-Measure suit at Atelier Munro scales depending on your choice of fabric, construction, and design details. For example, a linen suit will be more affordable than one crafted from a luxe wool–mohair blend, while construction options such as half-canvas or full-canvas tailoring will also influence the final price. Optional elements like a design lining allow for further personalization, and luxury touches, such as mother-of-pearl buttons, are included as standard.

Rather than fixed price tiers, Atelier Munro offers a spectrum, from refined entry options to exceptional pieces in rare fabrics. The final price reflects the materials you select and the level of craftsmanship involved.

This approach ensures you only pay for what matters to you: the fabric, the finish, and the purpose of the garment, whether it's a daily business suit or a statement piece for a special occasion.

Fit, Comfort & Customization

What influences the price of a Made-to-Measure suit?

The price of a Made-to-Measure suit reflects the materials, workmanship and personal choices that go into creating it. Key factors include the origin and quality of the fabric, its weight and performance, the level and location of construction, and the design details you select such as linings, lapels and hand finished elements.

Atelier Munro's model is intentionally transparent: every choice you make directly shapes the final garment. This allows you to balance investment with intent, whether you prioritise durability, luxury or everyday versatility.

Will a Made-to-Measure fit better than Ready-to-Wear?

Made-to-Measure is designed to fit your body, not a generic size chart. Made-to-Measure items are built on standard proportions, which rarely match real bodies. Made-to-Measure adjusts dozens of dimensions, chest, waist, shoulder slope, sleeve angle, posture, and balance, so the garment follows how you actually stand and move.

At Atelier Munro, this means cleaner lines, greater comfort, and a silhouette that feels natural rather than forced. The result isn't just a better-looking suit, it's one you enjoy wearing.

Can you accommodate athletic or non-standard body types?

Absolutely. Made-to-Measure is ideal for athletic, tall, short, or otherwise non-standard proportions.

Whether you have broad shoulders, a narrow waist, muscular thighs, or asymmetry in posture, the pattern is adjusted specifically for you.

Atelier Munro's process goes beyond measurements alone. Your stance, shoulder balance, and body dynamics are all considered, allowing the garment to adapt to you, not the other way around.

Fit, Comfort & Customization

What fabric is best for business / weddings / travel?

Choosing the right fabric depends on the setting and the feeling you want the garment to convey. Here is a refined, minimal guide to help you select with confidence:
  • For business: A smooth worsted wool is the a reliable choice. It offers a refined appearance, holds its shape beautifully and moves easily between formal and informal settings. Its strength, clean weave and polished finish make it ideal for everyday professionalism.
  • For weddings: : Look for fabrics with depth and elegance. Luxury options like velvet bring richness and ceremony, while refined wool silk blends or other formal weaves create a subtle sheen that elevates your presence without overwhelming it. These fabrics balance sophistication and comfort, perfect for a day that matters.

  • For travel: Choose performance without sacrificing style. Wrinkle resistant fabrics help you arrive looking composed, while tropical wool offers lightweight breathability for warm climates or long journeys. Both provide ease, resilience and an effortless look straight from suitcase to meeting.

Are your suits handmade?

Our suits are made using different construction methods, each chosen to balance craftsmanship, comfort and flexibility. Not every suit is fully handmade, but handwork plays an important role across our range, especially in our more sartorial makes.

Here's the overview based on our official suit construction guide:
  • Handmade Full Canvas suits: are the closest to a fully handmade garment. They include extensive hand stitching throughout the jacket — from buttonholes and pick stitching to under collar work, lining attachment and more. These pieces are crafted with significant handwork for a rich, bespoke like look and feel.
  • Traditional Full Canvas and Half Canvas: suits also feature hand finished details, though less extensively. They combine machine construction for structure and consistency with select hand sewn elements for refinement.

  • Unconstructed jackets and other non-canvas makes: include some hand finished touches but are not considered handmade garments. They prioritise lightness, comfort and a relaxed drape.

What makes Atelier Munro different from other Made-to-Measure brands?

Occasions & Use Cases

What suit should I choose for a wedding?

A Made-to-Measure wedding suit in a refined wool, linen or silk blend offers an elegant and comfortable choice for the day. Select a construction that feels natural to you, such as full canvas or half canvas for a clean drape, and choose a colour that complements the season and setting. Thoughtful details in lapels, lining and accessories complete a look that feels personal and considered.

Do you make tuxedos?

Yes. We create Made-to-Measure tuxedos crafted exclusively for you. Each piece is tailored with precision, using refined fabrics, thoughtful construction and considered details to ensure an elegant, confident presence at any formal event.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We can ship your garments worldwide. Wherever you are, we make sure your pieces arrive safely and with the same care that goes into crafting them.

What is the Durability Index?

The Durability Index (DI) tells you how likely a garment is to survive regular wear and tear. Using a 1-to-5 scale, going from delicate to durable,the DI score indicates how often a garment can be worn and how it should be cared for.

  • DI-1 or 2: Very delicate; should be reserved for special occasions and cared for gently.
  • DI-3: Intermediate; suitable for moderate wear, and special care should still be taken to ensure the fabric lasts.
  • DI-4 or 5: Durable; built to withstand routine wear and tear (up to twice a week, with a rest day between), and good care will ensure they last for many years.

Please note that suit and jacket fabrics are a little bit different and need to be rated separately. Jackets are often made with a loose or unusual weave with an average DI score of 2, while suits are more likely to use a tighter smoother weave, resulting in an average DI score of 4.

DI scores are not linked to quality. (In fact, high-quality fine weaves often have a low DI score.)

What DI score do I need for my garment?

When choosing your fabric, keep in mind the DI score when thinking about how (and how often) you will wear your garment.

Some tips

  • If you plan to wear the item frequently, choose a fabric with a DI score of 4 or 5.
  • If your legs rub together when you walk, choose a DI-4 or 5 fabric for your suits and trousers.

When choosing garments with a DI score of 1 or 2 (your finer garments), keep in mind that an impeccable fit is extra important. If it is too tight (especially in the groin or armpits), the garment will wear out more quickly.
