Fabrics & Tailoring

 

Where do you source your fabrics?

We use cloth from both Italian and English mills. We currently offer fabrics from:

  • Vitale Barberis Canonico

  • Carlo Barbera

  • Holland and Sherry

  • Huddersfield

  • Scabal and

  • Marzoni.

    Working with a variety of suppliers allows us to meet a wide range of customer needs: from lightweight wools suitable for hot and humid climates to bold colors and patterns designed for the man who wants to make a statement, we can guide you through the fabric selection process to choose the color, weight and type of material that best meets your needs.

Where are your garments made?

Your garments can be made domestically or in Hong Kong.

  • Our US partner is Adrian Jules in Rochester NY. Since 1964, this family-owned tailor has been applying Italian-American handwork technique to modern design. One of only two “Grade 6” menswear brands still in existence, the family takes great pride in adhering to the great traditions of menswear design and production.

  • Our custom shirts are also made by a multi-generation, family-owned company — Mel Gambert. Opened in 1933 in Newark, NJ, the Gambert family has been crafting menswear for more than 80 years. But these aren’t your grandfather’s shirts — their fabric and styling options allow men of every build and personality to create shirts that compliment his body and meet the demands of his life.

  • We’re proud to partner with Platinum in Hong Kong. This more affordable option provides the best quality we’ve found in the region. Suits made by Platinum are imported by Adrian Jules.

What if I change size in the next year or two?

Alterations on the initial custom garment are always free of charge as long as the weight gain/loss didn’t occur between the initial fitting and the delivery. If that’s the case we will charge a nominal fee for alterations pertaining to that. Future alterations do incur typical alteration fees. We are happy to refit garments for you. Typically a garment has 1-2” of room to let out and can be taken in substantially. Costs and alterations needed are assessed on an individual basis. Re-cuts for those who have lost substantial weight (40+ lbs) start at $175 for jackets and $85 for trousers.

What limitations do you have on styles you offer?

  • We like to offer our customers a wide variety of options. In addition to most standard modern styles, we can accommodate more unique requests like double breasted vests or lapels in a contrasting fabric. There are hundreds of options — more than we can list. And they’re changing all the time! So if you’re interested in a specific style or design, please ask. We love unusual requests!

  • When you begin working with Established Sartorial, we’ll explore options that are aligned with how you want to express yourself. If you have a special request, please e-mail photos and descriptions. You might want to begin by looking online for guys that have the kind of look you want to emulate. We can go through these images, discuss options and determine the best course of action.
