They say you can have whatever you decide and want if you dress for it. But whether that anything is set because of your target or your options available to you at a store, that’s what makes all the difference. When you go into a store, you are presented with a range of options, from formal blazers to casual jackets. However, your options for men’s outfits isn’t unlimited. So, if you’re looking for some customization, Made-To-Measure and Unique Tailored outfits will probably be your pick. They both have one primary aim, that is to customize your garment and make it the right fit for you. But there’s more as to the meets a person’s eye. So here’s taking a look at the differences between the two.
Blurred Linings? Made-to-measure outfits, as the name suggests, are made keeping one special customer in mind, the aim is for the garment to fit the person to efficiency. Unique goes a step ahead, in terms of both, creation and customization. At first, the two come across as two strings of the same cloth, but as you’ll see, there are subtle differences between the two which are them spools apart (pun intended). Whilst getting made- to-measure outfits is like ordering at a pasta station, you get to decide what kind and salsas, whereas unique tailoring is like making a home-cooked meal from scratch, which means the world’s your oyster.
The Measure mentor: Who’s It Going to Be? When opting for a made-to-measure garment, the retailer at the store is the one who will be taking the rating. This individual may or may not possess the expertise to pay attention to minute details while taking measurements. Whereas under unique tailoring the target that will be creating the garment will be the one to take the measurements, ensuring that the garment will be in the right hands all along.
Starting point Built to measure clothing builds on already existing standard sizes and then proceeds to customize the measurements to fit the suit-or. First, a base pattern is selected which closely appears like the patron’s size and then the pattern is customized to fit the customer. Unique tailoring, on the other hand, is not only built to order but it is also started from scratch.
Measuring The Rating
Since unique tailoring pays awareness of detail, the measurements taken are many. Independent of the standard practices of measuring the midsection, time masturbator sleeves and so on, minute details such as the posture of the back are also taken into consideration. Made-to- measure, on the other hand, builds upon existing sizing requirements such as shoulder width, receiver collar size and so on.
Number of Equipments Built to measure tailoring is not as complex as unique tailoring and therefore
the number of equipments required throughout the process are also few. One, before the garment is made and one final fitting to see whether any alterations are required. Whereas, when it comes to unique tailoring the whole customer journey is recorded, which means multiple equipments. It aims for the greatest precision and therefore requires multiple equipments along the way. Beginning from a skeleton baste fitting, moving to the forward fitting and then proceeded by a termin bar fitting. It’s a step by step process, when a new fitting is created on the previous one.
Method: Man, Machine & More Traditionally, unique tailoring means the outfits are hand-stitched, making them more high-quality, expensive and exquisite. Whereas a built to measure garment uses machines as well, it is more commercial, involves mass production and suits a more substantial audience.
Mill-ion Dollar Question- Fabric Options
The types of fabric options available under unique tailoring are much greater than those under made-to-measure tailoring. Colors, patterns, textures and more, unique tailoring opens up a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to designing outfits.
Degree of Customization Built to measure tailoring provides the customer an option to decide mostly exterior design which includes buttons, pocket styles and so on. Whereas in unique tailoring, the sky is the limit, what you can do are merely as limited as your tailor’s expertise.
Quality Guaranteed? While customization is one aspect, quality is quite another. Unique tailoring does not necessarily guarantee the perfect fit, style or look. At the end of the day, the standard of the product depends on the craftsmanship of the target and the imagination of the customer. Built to measure tailoring does ensure a certain degree of quality as the scope for human error is bound.
Massy VERSUS Classy? Built to measure outfits are ultimately mass produced and the scope for something being exquisite is bound and the probability of twinning are higher. Whereas, unique tailoring ensures that the identity of the garment remains in one piece as it is an idea that comes to life, so you’ll be sure to stand out in a crowd!
Worth The Wait? Instant gratification is a far stretch for both, but made-to-measure outfits are relatively quicker to get as compared to unique outfits, which require a level of planning at every stage from the cloth to the pattern, multiple equipments and more. The luggage that unique couture comes with makes it somewhat bothersome in our age of fast-changing designs and trends. But if
you’re looking for something timeless and unique, unique outfits will definitely quench your being thirsty.
Price Matters Needless to say, built to measure outfits are cheaper than unique outfits for the most part. Rest depends on the target you choose, the fabric and the charges asked because of your target to create something for you. Generally though, unique tailored outfits are more expensive, due to the time and commitment that assumes their making. Handmade projects means fine payments.
May The best Tailoring Win!
So, who’s the real winner? Unique or built to measure? Let’s take a look.
Fit: Since built to measure outfits come with the luggage of a predefined fit, more often than not, sizing issues do come up, as no one person is alike, and standardised sizes are rarely meant to fit like a baseball glove. Unique with it’s precision and awareness of detail, there is little room for an ill-fitted garment at the end of the customer journey. As long as your target is trusted, you’re a-ok!
Youniqueness: If there’s a particular look you have in mind or a colour you’re craving which might not be available at a store, unique tailoring is the answer to your questions. The quality of customisation possible will really help get caught up with the fashion statement you have in mind. Unfortunately, built to measure can’t get caught up with your imagination and if fresh is more your style, built to measure outfits might feel sore to the eyes.
The test of endurance: Considering the time and money spent on unique tailoring, the outfits produced last longer and can also be altered in the future if required. Whereas built to measure has its limitations, and even though the price is right, longevity isn’t just guaranteed.
In conclusion, Suit Yourself: If you like to play it safe and all you have to is to customize your own shirt, built to measure is the one for you. But if you want something which is just as unique as you are, unique is more for you.
