Everything you need to know before booking your private fitting.
Our Process
How It Works
A private fitting is exactly what it sounds like — your private appointment happens at your home, office, or preferred private setting. Whether it's your home, your office, or another location of your choosing, we bring everything needed to design and measure your garments on-site. No showroom visits, no waiting rooms, no distractions. Just you, your clothier, and a focused experience built entirely around your needs in the comfort of your own space.
Our standard turnaround is 6–8 weeks from your private fitting, depending on fabric selection and the number of garments being made. Rush options are available — reach out to discuss your timeline.
Yes. Rush orders are available and can be completed faster than our standard timeline. All rush orders are subject to an order minimum to ensure priority placement in our production queue. Reach out with your timeline and we'll let you know what's achievable.
We always recommend getting fitted when your weight is stable. That said, a fluctuation of 10–15 lbs generally falls within the tolerance of our garments and can be addressed at the final fitting through complimentary alterations. If the change exceeds that range, certain structural elements that cannot be tailored may begin to be affected, and we cannot guarantee the same quality of fit. When in doubt, reach out and we'll advise you.
We carry some of the finest cloth houses in the world, including Dormeuil, Scabal, Zegna, Loro Piana, Holland & Sherry, Drago, Piacenza, Ariston, and many more. Our selection spans a wide range of weights, textures, and price points — and is always growing.
The "starting at" price reflects the entry point for each garment category — the final cost is determined by your fabric selection. Suits start at $1,400 and can go as high as $12,000 depending on the cloth. In most fittings, we present a curated range from $1,400 up to around $8,000, giving you a clear view of your options at every level. You'll see and compare fabrics from all our cloth houses in person. The choice is always yours.
Every client comes to us with different needs — from a groom preparing for his wedding to a busy executive rebuilding his wardrobe. We offer a range of packages to address the most common scenarios. That said, most clients spend around $5,000 per order.
We don't maintain an online fabric catalog — our selection is constantly evolving. The best way to experience our fabrics is in person at your private fitting, where you can see, touch, and compare options side by side. If you have questions before booking, we're happy to discuss by phone or email.
We make custom garments for formal, professional, and casual settings, including suits, tuxedos, dress shirts, sport coats, trousers, chinos, polos, and casual wear. You can view the full garment list on the What We Make page.
Weddings
Wedding Questions
As an appointment-only business, we don't schedule fittings for browsing. When you book your private fitting, you're committing to our process — and we're committing to delivering the best result possible. We're always happy to answer questions by phone or email before you book.
We strongly recommend booking at least 6 months before your wedding date. Booking early means your suit will be finished months before the day, giving you one less thing to think about as your wedding approaches. Rush options are available for tighter timelines.

We don't maintain an online catalog — our selection is always evolving. We're happy to talk through options by phone or email before you commit. You'll see and feel everything in person at your private fitting.
Garment Care
Taking Care of Your Investment
All Tailored Threads garments should be cleaned and pressed exclusively by a professional dry cleaner. The quality of construction and fabrics we use require professional care to maintain their look, feel, and longevity over time.
Dry clean immediately when a garment is stained, or when it begins to hold odor. While dry cleaning is the safest option, it is still hard on materials over time — so less is more. Most suits are dry cleaned 3–5 times a year; shirts tend to need it more, around 5–10 times annually. If your garment is simply wrinkled, have your dry cleaner press it rather than running a full clean. Pressing is gentler and will restore the appearance without the additional wear of a full cleaning cycle.
