There’s no feeling quite like putting on a suit that fits you perfectly — one that was crafted with intention, tailored to your exact shape, and finished with personal touches. That’s the Made-to-Measure experience — and it’s why more and more Melbourne grooms are ditching off-the-rack in favour of something a little more special.
If you’ve ever wondered what Made-to-Measure really means, how much it costs, or whether it’s worth it for your big day, here’s your complete guide.
🔍 What Is a Made-to-Measure Suit?
It’s not quite the same as fully bespoke, but it’s a serious upgrade from off-the-rack.
Made-to-Measure (MTM) means we start with a base pattern, take your precise measurements, and adjust everything — from shoulder width to jacket length — to suit your frame. You also get to choose:
-
Your fabric (including pure wools, linens, blends, and seasonal textures)
-
Your buttons, linings, lapel style, and pocket shape
-
Your collar style, monograms, contrast stitching and more
It’s a balance of craftsmanship, efficiency, and full personalisation — without the sky-high price tag.
💰 How Much Does It Cost?
At The Gentry, Made-to-Measure suits start at $900. That includes:
-
Personal styling consultation
-
Expert measurements
-
Fabric and feature selection
-
Construction by our trusted tailors
Final pricing depends on fabric choice and custom options, but most grooms tell us it’s the best value they’ve found — especially compared to high-end off-the-rack suits that still don’t fit right.
⏳ How Long Does It Take?
The full process typically takes 6–10 weeks, depending on fabric availability and time of year. We recommend starting the process at least 10–12 weeks before your wedding, especially if you have groomsmen also needing fittings.
Yes — we can also create Made-to-Measure suits for the whole wedding party.
✨ Why It’s Worth It for Your Wedding
Your wedding is (hopefully) a once-in-a-lifetime event. If there’s ever a time to invest in looking your absolute best — it’s this.
Most of our Made-to-Measure clients say the same thing:
“This is the best suit I’ve ever worn.”
That’s not just about fit — it’s the confidence you feel when everything looks right. When the shoulders hit perfectly. When your name is monogrammed inside. When the fabric doesn’t just match the brief — it enhances it.
