Special Occasions
For job interviews, you want to look professional, competent, and confident - without your clothes becoming the conversation.
The Safe Choice: Navy or Charcoal
- Navy: Universally flattering, professional, approachable. Works for finance, law, tech, consulting - everywhere.
- Charcoal: Slightly more formal, authoritative. Great for senior positions, conservative industries.
Avoid: Black (too formal/funeral), light grey (too casual), patterns (distracting), bright colors (memorable for wrong reasons).
Fit Matters More Than Brand
Interviewers notice fit subconsciously. A well-fitted $600 suit beats an ill-fitting $2,000 suit every time.
What perfect interview fit looks like:
- Shoulders hit exactly at your shoulder bone
- Jacket buttons without pulling
- Sleeves show 1/4" of shirt cuff
- Trousers break cleanly at the shoe
Why Custom for Interviews? First impressions form in 7 seconds. A suit that fits perfectly signals attention to detail, self-awareness, and professionalism.
Our Recommendation: Navy wool suit, notch lapels, two-button, single vent. Classic, appropriate everywhere.
Timeline: Order 6-8 weeks before your target interview date.
Funerals call for respectful, understated attire. Your clothes should never draw attention away from the occasion.
The Standard: Dark and Simple
- Color: Black is traditional. Dark navy or charcoal are also appropriate.
- Fabric: Solid colors only. No patterns, no textures that catch light.
- Style: Conservative cut. Two-button, notch lapel, single-breasted.
Details to Avoid:
- Bright or patterned linings
- Flashy buttons or hardware
- Peak lapels (too fashion-forward)
- Double-breasted (too bold)
- Light-colored shirts (stick to white or very pale blue)
Fit Considerations: A respectful appearance means nothing distracting - no tight suits, no oversized suits. Clean, classic fit that disappears into the background.
What We Recommend: If you don't own a black suit and need one for a funeral, consider charcoal or dark navy instead. They're more versatile for future occasions while still being completely appropriate.

Short answer: 8-10 weeks before your wedding is ideal. 6 weeks is the minimum.
Recommended Timeline:
| When | What |
|---|---|
| 10 weeks before | Place order, submit measurements |
| 7-8 weeks before | Receive draft, provide feedback |
| 5-6 weeks before | Final suit in production |
| 3-4 weeks before | Final suit delivered |
| 2+ weeks before | Buffer for any local adjustments |
Why 8-10 Weeks?
- Draft fitting takes 2-3 weeks to arrive
- You need time to try it on and send feedback
- Final production takes 2-3 weeks
- Shipping takes 1-2 weeks
- Buffer for the unexpected
Minimum: 6 Weeks - This works if you submit measurements immediately, respond to draft within 24-48 hours, and no major adjustments are needed.
Coordinating Groomsmen? Add 2-4 weeks. Someone will be slow with measurements. All groomsmen should order together to guarantee matching fabric.
Rush Option: Bangkok Hotel Service - If visiting Thailand, complete everything in 5-8 days.
