The majority Italian - such as Loro Piana, Ermenegildo Zegna, Ariston, Piacenza, Cerruti, Drago, Carnet, Albini, Vitale Barberis Canonico and the storied Candiani mill that produces all of our denim and five pocket chino offerings. We also source exceptional fabric from the finest mills in England including Scabal, Dormeuil, Holland & Sherry, Hardy Minnis and Standeven.

First Fitting: When you’re ready to craft your custom garment, we’ll start with a 90-minute session. First I’ll help you choose fabrics, lining and talk through the style details that matter to you. I’ll carefully evaluate your posture to ensure the suit is tailored perfectly to how you naturally carry yourself. Every client has their own preferences and vision, so we treat the entire process as a collaborative partnership. You get to design every detail to your liking, ensuring that the final garment is a true reflection of your personal style. And finally we’ll get an understanding of your fit preferences, I’ll carefully evaluate your posture to ensure the suit is tailored perfectly to how you naturally carry yourself and lastly-take an extensive set of measurements to dial in the fit-just how you’d like it.

Second Fitting: When we are finished making your garment I’ll contact you to set up an appointment for your second fitting - at which point you’ll try it on to make sure everything fits correctly. Any alterations needed at this time will be done at no cost. It is not uncommon for everything to fit correctly at your second fitting. If this is the case, you’ll take it home with you at this time. Should adjustments need to be made, alterations take about a week.

Final Fitting/Pick Up: You’ll try on your garment one last time when you pick it up (if adjustments were made) and typically, at this point you are good to go. You’ll take it home with you.

Typically, most core/in stock fabrics take about 5-6 weeks to make. While luxury fabrics take about 2-3 weeks longer as these fabrics have to be ordered from their mill in Europe. In addition to making the garment, we want to be sure to allow ample time for your 2nd fitting and then any adjustments/alterations if need be. In a perfect world, 12 weeks or more (prior to your wear date) is the magic number.

Custom garments are paid in full at the first fitting. I will order your fabric and start the process the next day.

Unfortunately, I cannot make changes to your order once it is submitted as the process has started that next day.

No need at all, I will be very thorough with timeframes and follow through. I will email or call you the day we finish making your garment to set up your 2nd fitting.

Of course, I can do that!  However, an appointment scheduled on the website is made to work with one individual, so I’d ask that you please email me at donnie@chicagocustomclothier.com or call me at 773-920-4254 to set up a group fitting.

Suits, tuxedos, blazers and trousers should be dry-cleaned as INFREQUENTLY as possible. After wearing the garment, hang it back on the hanger you received it on as the bump shoulder on this hanger is important because it fills the shoulder of your jacket, something a wire hanger cannot do. Leave it hung outside of your closet for 48 hours after each wearing to breathe. Don’t store your suit in the garment bag - only use the garment bag for transport or travel. DEFINITELY use cedar blocks in your closet to keep moths away. The best way to use cedar blocks is to place a few in different areas in your closet - but not in contact with (touching) your clothing.  These garments are made of natural fibers that are excellent at releasing odor and wrinkles on their own if cared for properly.  Steam is your friend!  You can use a steamer or just hang it up in the bathroom while you shower. These tips will extend the life of the garment without a doubt. If it smells funky or you happen to get a stain on it, I highly recommend using Davis Imperial cleaners in Chicago when you’re going to have it dry cleaned. If their location is an inconvenience for you, they offer a delivery service for a nominal fee.

Shirts can be brought to your local dry cleaner and can be “laundered with no starch". I’d recommend washing them at home in cold water, hang or flat dry and then press - but to be honest, I don’t think it’s worth the time and effort.

I offer complementary adjustments on your custom garments for up to 60 days after delivery. Unfortunately, I do not take in outside alterations for garments not purchased here.
