When you step into Vinny’s Tailoring Shop, you’re not just buying clothes — you’re beginning a journey into craftsmanship in tailoring that blends tradition, precision, and personal style. A bespoke suit is more than a garment; it’s a work of art, created step by step by master tailors using the world’s finest fabrics and centuries-old techniques.
Let’s take you behind the scenes at Vinny’s to show exactly how your custom suit comes to life.
Step 1: The Bespoke Consultation
Your journey starts with a personal tailoring experience. In Vinny’s fitting room, you’ll meet one of our master tailors, who will discuss your needs — whether it’s a wedding bespoke suit, corporate bespoke attire, or a black-tie bespoke suit for a gala.
You’ll browse through fabric swatch books filled with premium suit fabrics: worsted wool, linen, tweed, silk blends, and luxurious flannels sourced from the same mills that serve Savile Row and Italian houses like Kiton and Brioni.
Step 2: Taking Precise Measurements
A true bespoke suit creation begins with suit measurements that capture every nuance of your body. Using a measuring tape and pattern paper, Vinny’s tailors record over 20 unique points — shoulder slope, sleeve length, chest depth, and even sleeve pitch.
This precision ensures the perfect suit fit and lays the foundation for your personal measurements profile.
Step 3: Bespoke Suit Pattern Drafting
Here’s where the artistry starts. The tailor uses chalk markers and tailor’s shears to cut your pattern from scratch — unlike made-to-measure suits, every pattern is 100% unique. The lapel style, vent type, button stance, and pocket design (welt, flap, or ticket) are tailored to your taste.
Step 4: Cutting and Stitching
With the pattern ready, your chosen premium suit fabric is carefully cut. At Vinny’s, we still use heritage tailoring methods, including basting stitches and canvassed construction, to ensure longevity and drape. The industrial sewing machine handles the main seams, while delicate areas — like the collar and cuffs — are hand-finished.
Step 5: The Basted Fitting
Before your suit is completed, you’ll attend a basted fitting. At this stage, the suit is loosely stitched so adjustments can be made. The tailor checks the shoulder line, trouser break, and chest piece to make sure the suit follows your posture and movement naturally.
Step 6: Final Fitting & Hand-Finishing
After refinements, your suit goes through pressing with a traditional pressing iron to shape the fabric. Horn buttons are sewn on, the silk lining is added, and all details — from lapel roll to vent placement — are perfected.
Step 7: Your Bespoke Suit, Ready to Wear
The result? A luxury bespoke suit that reflects your personality, fits flawlessly, and will last for years. Whether it’s for a gala event, business meeting, or special occasion, your Vinny’s suit becomes part of your gentleman’s wardrobe and your story.
