Made-to-Measure Business Suit
Your daily professional weapon. Comfort for long days, elegance that inspires confidence, durability to withstand intensive use.
Sommaire
Introduction
The business suit is distinguished by its perfect balance of professional elegance and daily comfort. Unlike ceremony or evening suits, it must withstand intensive use: 8-10 hours of wear per day, travel, prolonged sitting, repeated movements.
The made-to-measure business suit is a strategic investment in your career. For added prestige, consider the double-breasted suit or the three-piece suit. Complete with a made-to-measure shirt and consult our formal suit guide to achieve standards of excellence.
Daily Comfort
Construction designed for 8-10 hours of daily wear. Shoulder mobility, seated comfort, fabric breathability. When you feel good, you perform better.

Resilient fabrics and reinforced finishes for intensive use. A suit that lasts 5-7 years of daily professional wear with proper care.

A made-to-measure business suit starts from EUR 990. A made-to-measure shirt from EUR 290 allows you to build a complete, cohesive professional outfit.
What is the lead time for a business suit?
The usual lead time is 4-5 weeks from the consultation and measurement appointment through the fitting to delivery. For a new role, board presentation or business trip, plan this timeline accordingly.
How is a business suit created?
The consultation and measurement appointment defines the use, cut, fabric and level of formality. The fitting adjusts the silhouette before final delivery.
Which fabric should I choose for a business suit?
A cool wool, a twill or a four-season cloth in navy blue, grey or charcoal remains the most professional choice. These fabrics perform well through office days, client meetings and business travel.
Which suit to wear for a client meeting or a business dinner?
A navy blue or dark grey suit with a light shirt and understated shoes works in the majority of business settings. For a business dinner, a richer texture or a discreet tie can enhance the elegance.
Entretien
Rotation
Never wear the same suit on consecutive days. Own a minimum of 3 suits for weekly rotation. Wool needs 24-48 hours to recover its shape.
Daily Care
Brush after each wear. Hang on a wide wooden hanger. Air before storing. Empty pockets to prevent distortion. These simple steps extend the life by 50%.
Cleaning
A maximum of 3-4 dry cleans per year to avoid wearing out the fabric. In between, steam and a brush are sufficient for most situations. Over-cleaning means premature wear.
