The wedding outfit
Wedding Suit
For one of the most beautiful days of your life, we are here to help you get dressed accordingly.
The most important thing is that your outfit reflects the atmosphere of your wedding and makes you feel perfectly yourself.
Dressed with comfort and elegance in mind, you will fully enjoy this day and the memories immortalized in photos, forever.
Today, there are more or less classic and formal options for wedding attire, as ceremonies are becoming increasingly personalized.
We are here to advise you on the choice of style and fabric, in order to create the most flattering suit for you.
Below are some ideas, but the best way forward is to come and meet us to discuss your project together.

The three-piece suit
The blue three-piece suit is currently one of the most contemporary and sought-after wedding outfits. The waistcoat makes it more formal than a two-piece suit and is now an item almost exclusively reserved for the groom, as well as possibly for the best men and close family members.
It is an elegant outfit that can be worn in any season and can be customized with a single-breasted or double-breasted waistcoat, as well as many other details. If your wedding takes place during the warmer months of the year, being able to remove the jacket at certain times of the day can be particularly welcome.

The double-breasted suit
A strong trend in recent years is the double-breasted suit. More formal than a two-piece suit, it is still less formal than a three-piece suit.
Its cut envelops the silhouette and comes in several variations, particularly in the different buttoning styles. It is preferably worn closed, but can also be worn open during more relaxed times of the day.

The tuxedo
Few outfits are as elegant as a tuxedo. This classic black and white ensemble creates a striking contrast with the bride's white gown. Reserved for festive occasions, the Black Tie dress code is an excellent choice for wedding attire.
What distinguishes a tuxedo are its contrasting silk lapels, as well as certain details of the jacket, such as covered buttons or piping. Although this outfit is relatively codified, there are many variations of the tuxedo: it can be single-breasted or double-breasted, two-piece or three-piece.

The morning coat and the tailcoat
The most formal attire for a wedding. The Morning coat, also known as a Jaquette, is often worn out of family tradition and consists of a three-piece suit with a long jacket.
In its most traditional form, the morning coat combines three different fabrics: dark striped trousers, a contrasting waistcoat, and a darker jacket, usually charcoal grey or black. Another option is to have the morning coat made from a single fabric, which can be grey (light or dark) or navy blue. For inspiration, you can look at the weddings of the British or Spanish monarchies.
The Tailcoat, even rarer than the morning coat today, is the most formal attire for a wedding. Its black and white appearance is highly codified and is particularly suitable for weddings with a very formal protocol.
The bespoke approach
Consultation
The first step is to discuss your ideas for the costume and its intended use.
Our role is to guide and advise you in selecting the most appropriate fabric based on the desired style and cut.
Material selection
The choice of fabric largely defines the garment, and we offer a selection of over ten thousand fabrics in-store.
We have swatches for all types of pieces and all occasions.
We work exclusively with the highest quality fabrics made from natural materials, mainly from British and Italian weavers and draperies. We work with Loro Piana, Zegna, Huddersfield New Fine Worsteds,
Fox Brothers, and Maison Hellard are some of the Houses you will find in our
library, among many others.
Measurements, Style, and Cut
We take your order during a one and a half hour appointment. At that time, we will decide on the fabric, stylistic details, and cut.
Every detail is discussed together: from the shoulder line to the lapel width, to the cut of the trousers, everything is customizable.
We will present you with models that can serve as inspiration and allow you to express your habits and how you wish to wear your suit.
Based on these elements, your unique pattern will be defined, and your garment will enter the manufacturing phase.
Our suits are fully canvassed and made in Italy.
Fitting
Your suit will arrive in store after 8 to 10 weeks, and we invite you to schedule your fitting.
Any alterations will be carried out on site, in our in-store workshop, to ensure your suit fits you perfectly.
We keep your pattern to facilitate future orders.
For a wedding outfit, we ask you to place your order at least 4 months before your wedding date.
