Slim fit and regular fit ready to wear wedding suits

Slim fit wedding suit — Grey suit available in Regular, Tailored or Slim tailored fit

Slim fit and regular fit ready to wear wedding suits

Hi, we are getting married in October this year. We would like the men in our Wedding Party to wear the same colour suits but the ones we like are all ‘slim fit’ suits. This fit is not suitable for the Dad’s and Grandad’s in our party who prefer suits that aren’t quite as fitted. Is there anything you can suggest to help us?

PS: We don’t want to have made to measure.

Thanks Nicola & Paul (Rochdale)

Hi Nicola,
First, congratulations you on your up an coming wedding to Paul.

Regarding your problem, I understand where you are coming from and it’s a problem I’ve come up against on a number of occasions before.

Fortunately, one of my suppliers has come up with a ready to wear solution to your slim fit or regular fit wedding suit issue.
They offer 6 different poly/wool cloths which are available in either Contemporary fit or Premier Fit. Contemporary is a slightly tailored fit and Premier is as fully tailored fit.

All cloths are available in 3 piece or obviously two piece with the Contemporary fit available in sizes 34” Chest – 54” Chest and the Premier in 34” Chest – 50” Chest.
All suits are sold on a mix and match basis. This means that we can get any size jacket to match with any size trousers. You’re not restricted to the 6” drop from chest to waist that standard ready to wear suits tend to have.
Each fabric is also available in Short, Regular or Long fit meaning that from ready to wear we can generally fit most members of a wedding party.
You can choose from Black, Dark Ink Blue, Charcoal, Blue Sharkskin, Ink Sharkskin or Blue/Black pin dot fabric. They also offer a Silver Grey pick’n’pick that is available in a Classic Fit as well as Contemporary and Premier fit.

If you were wanting a more luxurious super 100’s pure new wool suit, we can supply that. We deal with a German supplier who offer Super100’s suits in classic fit, slim fit and extra slim fit options.

I trust that this response helps you in your quest to find suitable wedding suits for your party. I am more than happy to visit you and show you the patterns available in our ready to wear suit selections.

Please contact me (Michael) on 01484 511088 to discuss your ready to wear slim fit and regular fit wedding suits.

You could be forgiven for thinking that with a name like travellingtailor.co.uk we are all about made to measure suits, jackets and trousers; we’re not, we also specialise in ready to wear garments as well as offering a shopping buddy service.

Our shopping buddy service does exactly what it says, Michael will accompany you on a men’s clothing shopping trip for either half a day or a full day, you choose.

With over 30 years of experience in the men’s ready to wear clothing sector he can advise you on what looks good on you and what you should be wearing, all you pay for is his time (and travel expenses).

There is no pressure to buy, it’s your choice, all Michael will do is offer suggestions and probably encourage you to try garments that are different from what you might normally choose but ultimately, the final decision is left to you.

It’s not just Made to Measure Suits we supply, we also offer Ready to Wear Suits

View from my of office today at Scapegoat Hill, Huddersfield

With a name like travellingtailor.co.uk you could be forgiven for thinking that we only provided the good people of Yorkshire and Lancashire with made to measure suits but that’s not the case, we also offer a large range of ready to wear suits, jackets and trousers, all available on a stock service basis and all from various suppliers.

Take today for instance, I have visited a customer at his home in one of the outlying villages around Huddersfield to deliver him a third pair of trousers to a Digel Super 100’s Suit that he bought from Laurie Hopkins Menswear early last year.

The fact that the suit was on a stock service meant that despite damaging one of the pairs that he originally bought in an accident at work, in effect he could still wear that suit because I could get a replacement pair – the accident didn’t result in a total write off of a very nice Super 100’s Digel Menswear suit, all it cost him was the price of a pair of trousers.

Stock service ready to wear suits are available in a variety of fabrics, styles, fits and sizes, why not telephone us to discuss your requirements?
