You're investing $590-800 in a custom suit. The fabric costs $200+. The craftsmanship takes 8+ hours. What if the fit is wrong?
Draft fitting eliminates that risk entirely.
Most online tailors take your measurements, cut expensive fabric, and hope for the best. We send you a test garment first. You approve the fit at home, then—and only then—we cut your final fabric.
This is the same process $3,000+ bespoke tailors use. We made it accessible.
What is Draft Fitting?
Draft fitting is simple: we create a test garment in inexpensive fabric before cutting your final fabric.
You receive it at home, try it on, and give feedback. We adjust the pattern. Only after you approve do we cut your premium fabric.
The problem it solves: Remote measurements can't account for body asymmetries, posture differences, or personal fit preferences. A $200+ fabric cut incorrectly cannot be salvaged. Draft fitting catches errors before they become expensive mistakes.
Why Do $3,000+ Tailors Use This Method?
Draft fitting has been standard for Savile Row tailors charging $3,000-5,000 per suit for over a century.
Articles of Style ($2,495-3,695 per suit) uses it because measurements alone aren't enough.
The economics:
- Without draft: One error = $600+ remake + destroyed customer trust
- With draft: $20-30 test fabric catches all issues before final production
Most online tailors skip this to save costs. They optimize for speed and margin, then deal with fit disasters through refunds and alterations.
We do the opposite. We'd rather spend $30 on a test garment than remake a $600 suit.

Why Draft Fitting Beats Alterations
Alterations are limited:
- Sleeves: ±1 inch (button placement limits)
- Waist: ±1 inch (seam allowance limits)
- Shoulders: Cannot be altered (requires full reconstruction at $200-400)
Draft fitting has no limits:
- Complete shoulder repositioning
- Any chest dimension
- Any sleeve length
- Full pattern rebuild if needed
Example: Customer with asymmetric shoulders (18" right, 17.5" left). Draft revealed it. Pattern adjusted. Final garment fit perfectly. Impossible to catch from measurements alone.
Real-World Protection
Without draft fitting:
You order. Suit arrives with shoulders too wide, sleeves too short, chest too tight. Alterations can't fix structural issues. You're stuck with $800+ in unusable clothing.
With draft fitting:
All issues caught in test fabric. Adjusted before final production. Zero risk.
The draft protects you from measurement errors, body asymmetries, and fit disasters.

Common Questions
Can I skip the draft to get my suit faster?
No. Draft fitting is included in every order. Even the world's best tailors can't predict how fabric will drape from measurements alone. The draft eliminates $600+ remake risks.
What if the draft doesn't fit perfectly?
That's exactly why we do it. Tell us what needs adjustment and we modify the pattern before cutting final fabric. Most customers need 1-3 minor tweaks—this is normal and expected.
Do I keep the draft garment?
Yes, it's yours. The value is the digital pattern we've perfected, which is saved to your profile for all future orders.
What if major changes are needed?
For significant adjustments, we'll create a second draft at no extra cost. This is rare—95% of customers approve with zero or minor changes.
