Made-to-Measure Suit Making Process
A transparent process, with production in 3 to 5 weeks depending on the range

A Transparent and Efficient Process
The making of a made-to-measure suit at Atelier Mesure is a process optimised through modern technology. In 3 to 5 weeks depending on the range, we create your suit perfectly fitted to your body type. Our approach combines human expertise and technological precision for an optimal result. Unlike off-the-rack, your suit begins to exist only after your order. Your expert advisor takes your measurements, tries on a sample jacket with you to note the necessary adaptations, then your fabric is laser-cut according to your adapted measurement profile. Assembly follows the chosen construction type. See our detailed lead times.
- 2 appointments: consultation and measurements, then fitting and collection
- The lead time is confirmed with your order. Necessary adjustments are completed before final delivery.

Appointment 1: Consultation, Measurements & Sample Fitting
1h30-2h
A complete first appointment in our Parisian atelier. Your expert advisor guides you through understanding your needs, choosing your fabric and style, then taking your measurements and trying on a sample jacket to define the necessary adaptations.
DURATION: 90-120 minutes in a private, personalised setting. PROCESS: Discussion of your needs (professional use, events, weddings?). Exploration of our fabric library (over 4,000 references). Style selection (two/three-piece, double-breasted/single-breasted, lapels, pockets). Selection of finishes (buttons, lining, monogram). MEASUREMENTS: 25+ precise body measurements taken by your advisor. Each measurement is carefully recorded to guarantee a perfect fit. SAMPLE FITTING: You try on an existing sample jacket in your size. Your advisor notes all adaptations needed for your body type (shoulders, length, waist suppression, etc.). This information will be used to adapt the pattern to your body. CONFIRMATION: Final quote confirmed. Payment at order. Production lead time stated (3 to 5 weeks depending on the range; express: 3 weeks subject to confirmation when ordering).
The first appointment determines the success of your suit. Take all the time you need, with no pressure.
Production: 3 to 5 Weeks Depending on the Range
