Choosing the fabric
For a suit that holds its line through a long day, worsted wool is the classic choice — smooth, resilient, and quick to shed creases. Reid & Taylor suiting is a dependable place to start.
For warm Bengaluru months, consider lighter weights or wool-rich blends. Linen reads relaxed and cool for occasion wear; keep it for less formal moments.
Getting the fit right
A suit fits when it sits clean on the shoulder, closes without strain, and lets you move. The route there is measurement, a pattern built from you, and a trial fitting where corrections are marked and re-checked.
- Shoulder: clean, no divot or overhang
- Chest: closes with a flat drape, no X-pull
- Waist: shaped, not squeezed
- Trouser: sits at the seat with a break you choose
Two-piece or three-piece?
A two-piece is the versatile everyday choice. A three-piece adds a waistcoat for weddings and formal occasions, and lets you dress the look up or down through the day.
How long it takes
Plan for one to two weeks for most commissions. If you have a fixed date, tell your tailor at the first meeting — express work is often possible on request, but earlier is always better.
