Construction Types
The type of construction defines the quality, drape and durability of your suit.
Semi-traditional
Accessible
Our most accessible construction: a piece of tailor's canvas on the chest piece, bonded to the outer cloth with a very fine layer of high-technology adhesive. Ideal for a first made-to-measure suit.
Half Canvas
Recommended
Notre recommandation
Canvas construction through the chest and lapels. An excellent balance of quality and value.
Full Canvas
Premium
Complete traditional canvas construction. Exceptional durability and drape.
Care
Hypothetical, non-contractual calculation: a EUR 1,500 made-to-measure suit, worn 50 times a year for 10 years, would amount to EUR 3 per wear. Actual cost depends on the price, frequency of wear and care.
- Cleaning
- A maximum of 2-3 dry cleans per year. Air after each wear and brush gently.
- Storage
- Use a thick wooden hanger. Store in a breathable cotton garment bag. Avoid plastic.
- Lifespan
- With appropriate care, a made-to-measure suit is designed to accompany you over time.

Investing in Quality
An illustrative comparison of cost per wear.
For illustration, a suit starting from EUR 980, worn 50 times a year for 10 years, is compared with a €400 ready-to-wear suit replaced every 2 years. Actual cost per wear depends on the price, frequency of wear and care. An economically and ecologically sound long-term investment.
