Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about sizing, orders, shipping, and our bespoke services.
Yes, minor adjustments are included within 30 days of delivery (sleeve length, trouser hem, waist adjustments, etc.).
The draft fitting process is designed to perfect your fit before creating the final garment, so major alterations are rarely needed. If there's any issue with craftsmanship or materials, we'll make it right at no cost.
Contact us via email or WhatsApp if you need any adjustments - we stand behind our work.
Linen (CAVANI):
- Dry clean recommended for tailored structure
- OR gentle hand wash cold water (loses some crispness)
- Air dry flat, iron while damp
- Natural wrinkles are part of linen's character
Wool (Flannels, Tweeds, DRAGO, VBC):
- Dry clean ONLY (wool shrinks if washed)
- Steam between cleanings to refresh
- Store with cedar blocks (moth prevention)
Cotton:
- Machine wash cold OR dry clean
- Iron medium-high heat
- Hang to prevent wrinkles
All garments include care labels with specific instructions for your fabric choice.

Questions?
Contact us at support@linensuit.shop - we'll help you plan the perfect gift.
You can modify or cancel within a limited window - here's how it works:
Before Production Starts (within 24-48 hours):
- Full cancellation available
- Modifications to fabric, style, or customizations accepted
- Contact us immediately via WhatsApp or email
After Production Starts:
- Cancellation NOT possible (fabric already cut)
- Minor modifications may be possible (contact us to discuss)
- This is why we confirm all details before starting
Our Confirmation Process Protects You:
We never start production blindly. Before cutting fabric:
- We review your order and measurements
- We reach out within 6-24 hours to confirm details
- You approve before we proceed
- Production only starts after your confirmation
Need to Make Changes?
- WhatsApp: Fastest response (link in footer)
- Email: support@linensuit.shop
The sooner you contact us, the more options we have.
Bottom Line:
Once fabric is cut, it's cut for YOU - that's the nature of custom tailoring. But our confirmation process gives you a window to make changes before that happens.
Yes! We offer multiple LIVE support options:
Video Call Consultation:
- Schedule virtual session with our Bangkok team
- We guide you through every measurement step-by-step
- Screen share to show exactly where to place the tape
- 30-45 minutes, typically
WhatsApp Live Chat:
- Message us while you're measuring
- Send photos, get instant feedback
- Voice notes for clarification
Email Support:
- Send questions and photos
- Detailed written guidance within 24 hours
Unlike other online tailors who only provide static tutorials, we believe in PROACTIVE, real-time support.
Yes! We ship to over 50 countries worldwide. Shipping is included in all prices. International customs fees (if any) are the customer's responsibility - these vary by country and are not controlled by us.
Yes - you can order any piece individually.
We offer:
- Suits (jacket + trousers)
- Blazers (jacket only)
- Trousers (standalone)
- Waistcoats/Vests (standalone)
- Shirts (standalone)
Why Order Separates?
- Build your wardrobe piece by piece
- Replace worn trousers without buying full suit
- Mix and match (navy blazer + grey trousers)
- Budget flexibility - start with one piece, add later
Pattern Benefits:
When you order any piece, we save your pattern:
- Upper body pattern - saved from jacket orders
- Lower body pattern - saved from trouser orders
Future orders for that body area skip the draft fitting (faster delivery).
Mix & Match Example:
Order a navy linen blazer today. Next month, order grey wool trousers. Both fit perfectly because your patterns are saved.
Same Quality, Any Piece:
Whether you order a full suit or single trousers:
- Same draft fitting process
- Same canvas construction (jackets)
- Same premium fabrics
- Same fit guarantee
No - draft fitting is included in every order and cannot be skipped. Here's why: Even the world's best tailors can't predict exactly how fabric will drape on YOUR unique body from measurements alone.
The draft eliminates $600+ remake risks by catching fit issues in $20 test fabric. It's our insurance policy AND yours. This is why we confidently offer our 30-day fit guarantee - we've already verified your fit before cutting expensive Italian fabric.

We recommend scheduling 3-5 days before your Bangkok arrival to guarantee availability. However, if you're already here, contact us via WhatsApp - we'll do our best for same-day or next-day visits depending on team availability.
Rush tip: Send measurements or ship us a garment that fits BEFORE you arrive. We'll prep your order so it's ready for final fitting in just 2-3 days when you land.
Most customizations are included in the base price (lapel styles, button configurations, pocket styles, lining colors). Premium options that add material cost or complexity show their price during customization (e.g., "+$25" for contrast stitching). You'll see the total price update in real-time as you customize.
Flexibility:
- Checkout without customizing: You can proceed without selecting any options if you prefer standard styling
- Personalize more: Select from available options to tailor the garment to your preferences
- Need something extra? If you want custom options not shown on the product page, contact us directly at support@linensuit.shop or WhatsApp. We respond within 24 hours with pricing and feasibility.
Yes - every suit is made to YOUR exact measurements, regardless of body type.
That's the entire point of custom tailoring. Unlike off-the-rack suits that force you into standardized sizes, we build your pattern from scratch.
Big & Tall:
- No size limits - we've fitted 56" chests and 44" waists
- Proportions adjusted (longer jacket, wider shoulders, deeper armholes)
- Draft fitting ensures nothing pulls or gaps
Short Men (under 5'7"):
- Shorter jacket length to elongate legs
- Higher button stance for balanced proportions
- Minimal trouser break for cleaner silhouette
- No "swimming in fabric" like off-the-rack small sizes
Athletic Build (wide shoulders, narrow waist):
- We handle any "drop" (chest-to-waist difference)
- Off-the-rack assumes 6" drop; athletes often have 8-10"+
- Tapered waist without chest tightness
- Sleeves that fit biceps without being baggy at wrists
Asymmetric Bodies:
- Different arm lengths? We measure both
- Uneven shoulders? Pattern adjusted accordingly
- Most people have slight asymmetry - custom accommodates it
Why Off-the-Rack Fails Non-Standard Bodies:
- Big & tall sections = same proportions, just scaled up (still wrong fit)
- Athletic fit = marketing term, not actual pattern change
- Alterations have limits (shoulders CAN'T be fixed)
Our Process:
1. Submit your actual measurements (not a size label)
2. Draft fitting catches any issues before final fabric
3. Pattern saved for perfect reorders
Bottom line: If you've struggled to find suits that fit, custom isn't a luxury - it's the only real solution.
Yes - we make tuxedos and dinner jackets for formal occasions.
What We Offer:
- Tuxedos (jacket + formal trousers with satin stripe)
- Dinner Jackets (jacket only, pair with your own trousers)
- Full Black Tie Sets (jacket + trousers + waistcoat/cummerbund)
Black Tie Details:
- Lapels: Peak or shawl with satin/grosgrain facing
- Buttons: Covered or silk knot buttons
- Trousers: Satin side stripe, no belt loops (braces or side adjusters)
- Fabrics: Black wool, midnight navy, velvet options
Not Sure What You Need?
- Black Tie: Tuxedo required (satin lapels, formal trousers)
- Black Tie Optional: Dark suit acceptable, tuxedo preferred
- Creative Black Tie: Dinner jacket in color (burgundy, green, ivory)
Timeline:
Order 8-10 weeks before your event. Same draft fitting process ensures perfect fit for formal photos.
Contact Us:
If you don't see tuxedo options in our configurator, select "Contact Me" at checkout. We'll discuss fabric, details, and pricing within 6-24 hours.
Not currently - we require full payment at checkout. However, you can use:
Credit card payment (through Stripe):
- Some cards offer installment plans (check with your card issuer)
- Earn points/rewards on your purchase
Why no payment plans?
- Keeps our operations simple and costs low
- Allows us to maintain $590-800 pricing instead of $3,000+
- Production starts immediately after payment (no delays)
Budget tip: Start with one piece (blazer or trousers) to test our quality, then build your wardrobe over time. Your pattern is saved after first order, so reorders are easier.
Yes, once your draft or final garment ships, you'll receive a tracking number via email. You can also monitor your shipment's progress in real-time from your profile dashboard on our website - track the journey from Bangkok to your door.

- Virtual Consultation: Book a video call with our team for personalized assistance
Unlike larger tailors, you'll work directly with our small, remarkable team. We're proactive throughout your journey - from measurements to draft fitting to final delivery.
We send a detailed fitting guide with your draft showing exactly what to check:
- Shoulders: Seam should end at your natural shoulder edge (not drooping or pulling)
- Chest: Should allow two fingers of room when buttoned
- Sleeves: Should break at your wrist bone, showing 1/4-1/2 inch of shirt cuff
- Length: Jacket should cover your seat, trouser break depends on preference
- Waist: Comfortable when buttoned, no pulling or excess fabric
Plus, you can schedule a FREE virtual fitting consultation where we guide you through the evaluation in real-time via video call. Most first-time customers find this incredibly helpful.
Shop visit drawbacks:
- Travel in Bangkok heat and traffic (30-60 minutes each way)
- Crowded retail areas
- High-pressure sales tactics
- Limited fabric selection on display
Our hotel service advantages:
- We bring 200+ fabric swatches to YOUR room
- Private, comfortable environment
- No pressure - take your time deciding
- No travel time wasted
- Same Bangkok artisan quality, modern convenience
It's how tailoring SHOULD work in 2025.
After your draft fitting is approved, we save three pattern types to your profile:
- Upper body pattern (chest, shoulders, sleeve length, etc.)
- Lower body pattern (waist, hip, inseam, rise, etc.)
- Full pattern (if you ordered a complete suit)
Security: Stored in encrypted cloud database, accessible only through your password-protected account. We NEVER share your measurements with third parties. Your pattern is yours for life.
Access: View your complete measurements anytime from your profile dashboard. Update if your body changes. Export if you want a backup.
Traditional tailoring:
1. Tailor takes measurements
2. Cuts expensive fabric immediately
3. You receive suit
4. Alterations needed = limited by seam allowances
Our draft fitting process:
1. Create pattern from measurements
2. Build test garment in cheap fabric ($20)
3. Ship to you, you try on at home
4. You tell us adjustments needed
5. We REBUILD the pattern (unlimited changes possible)
6. Only THEN do we cut your $200+ final fabric
Result: 95% of customers approve final garment with zero alterations needed. The draft catches everything before expensive fabric is touched.
You have two options:
Option 1 - Custom Measurements (Included):
Submit your measurements using our detailed guide. Our master tailor reviews them and creates your draft garment.
Option 2 - Ultimate Precision ($49 one-time):
Ship us an existing garment that fits you perfectly. Our master tailor measures it professionally and creates your pattern. Your garment is returned with your order. This is recommended for the most accurate fit.
After receiving your draft garment, you have multiple options for feedback:
Option 1 - Self-Guided:
We'll send a detailed fitting guide with photos showing common adjustment areas. Take photos, note what feels tight/loose, and submit your feedback. Our tailor emails you within 24 hours to confirm adjustments.
Option 2 - Virtual Consultation:
Book a video call with our team. We'll guide you through the fitting in real-time, identify adjustments together, and answer all your questions.
Option 3 - WhatsApp Support:
Message us directly on WhatsApp for prompt guidance. Our small team is available to help based on availability.
Choose the level of support you're comfortable with - we adapt to your needs.
Most online tailors:
- Take measurements, cut fabric immediately
- No draft fitting = gambling on fit
- Email-only support (slow response)
- Limited fabric options
- Long turnarounds (8-12 weeks)
- Pricing: $200-500 (cheap MTM) OR $3,000+ (premium bespoke)
LinenSuit.shop:
- ✅ Draft fitting STANDARD (not optional)
- ✅ Multi-channel support (WhatsApp, email, video calls)
- ✅ Bangkok hotel service (unique - no competitor offers this)
- ✅ Complete fabric range (linen, wool, tweed, cotton)
- ✅ 3-6 week turnaround (faster than most)
- ✅ $590-800 pricing (bespoke quality at MTM price)
Why? Bangkok manufacturing efficiency + founder-operated model = premium quality without premium markup.
Huge difference. Alterations have physical limits:
- Sleeves: Can only adjust ±1 inch (button placement restricts more)
- Waist: Limited to ±1 inch (seam allowance restricts more)
- Shoulders: CANNOT be altered without $200-400 reconstruction
- Length: Can shorten, but lengthening is often impossible
Draft fitting has ZERO limits - we can rebuild the entire pattern from scratch if needed because we haven't cut your final fabric yet. It's true custom construction, not retrofitting a finished garment.
Our timeline:
- Draft ships within 2 weeks of order
- You receive it and try on at home
Customer's timeline (YOU control speed):
- Try on draft when it arrives (day 1)
- Send feedback via email/WhatsApp/video call
- We respond within 24 hours confirming adjustments
- Final production starts
Speed tip: Complete draft fitting the DAY it arrives = save 6+ days on total timeline. Waiting 2 weeks to try it on = 2 weeks added to your delivery.
Most customers approve within 3-5 days of receiving draft.
Option 1 - Custom Measurements (Faster):
- Production starts within 24 hours after confirming your measurements
- Draft garment ready in 4-6 days
- Shipping: 2-3 weeks to receive draft
- Try on, provide feedback
- Final garment crafted and shipped
- Total: 3-6 weeks from order to delivery
Option 2 - Ultimate Precision (Longer, but most accurate):
- You ship your garment to us first
- We receive and analyze it (depends on your shipping speed)
- Production starts after analysis
- Draft created and shipped
- Total: 6-8 weeks from order to delivery
Every garment is handcrafted by our master tailor in Bangkok - we prioritize precision over speed.
International shipping is included in all product prices. You won't pay extra for shipping at checkout.
Yes! We offer in-person hotel service for visitors to Bangkok.

No minimum order required! Whether you want one shirt or a complete wardrobe (5+ pieces), we'll come to your hotel. That said, many customers find it worthwhile to order multiple pieces since:
- We're already at your hotel with 200+ fabric swatches
- Pattern is saved for all pieces (easy future reorders)
- You can build a complete wardrobe in one visit
- Better value for your time in Bangkok
Popular orders: 2-3 suits + 3-5 shirts + trousers = complete business wardrobe.
We offer both Full Canvas and Half Canvas construction - never fused.
What's the Difference?
- Full Canvas: Canvas interlining runs entire jacket front, hand-stitched. Best for premium suits, daily wear, longevity.
- Half Canvas: Canvas in chest/lapel area, fused below. Budget-friendly, lighter weight.
- Fused (we DON'T offer): Glued interlining throughout. Found in mall suits, fast fashion.
Why Canvas Matters:
Drape: Canvas molds to your body over time - the suit gets better with wear. Fused suits stay stiff and eventually bubble/peel.
Breathability: Canvas allows airflow. Fused traps heat (glue blocks air).
Longevity: Full canvas suits last 15-20+ years. Fused suits degrade in 2-3 years.
Tailoring: Canvas can be altered significantly. Fused falls apart when altered.
Our Options:
- Half Canvas - Standard on all suits (excellent quality at our price point)
- Full Canvas - Available as upgrade option
How to Tell the Difference:
Pinch the fabric below the lapel buttonhole. If you feel three layers moving independently (outer fabric, canvas, lining), it's canvas. If it feels like one stiff piece, it's fused.
Bottom Line:
At $590-800, we deliver canvas construction that $300 mall suits can't match. Your suit will drape better, breathe better, and last decades - not years.
Articles of Style:
- Premium bespoke (Signature Linen Suit: $2,495)
- Draft fitting included
- Made in USA
- Email-only support
- Founded 2015 (established brand)
- Customer reviews cite slow turnarounds, communication issues
LinenSuit.shop:
- Same draft fitting process at $590-800 (67-76% cheaper)
- Made in Bangkok by heritage artisans
- Multi-channel support (WhatsApp, email, video)
- Faster turnarounds (3-6 weeks vs 8-12 weeks reported)
- Bangkok hotel service option (unique)
- New brand (2025) but 16+ years family tailoring heritage
Bottom line: Same bespoke methodology, more accessible pricing, better customer support. Perfect if you want Articles of Style quality without the $2,500+ price tag.
Much faster!

Many customers keep their drafts as casual wear or donate them. The value is in the pattern we've perfected, which is used for all your future orders.
Our online collection is curated but not exhaustive - we can create much more than what's shown.

Minor changes (5-10 lbs): Usually no pattern update needed. Contact us first via email/WhatsApp - we'll advise based on where you gained/lost weight.
Significant changes (10+ lbs): Update your measurements in your profile, place a new order, and we'll send a new draft to verify the updated fit. The new pattern is saved, and we archive your old one.
Benefit: We keep pattern versions, so if your weight fluctuates, we can access any previous saved pattern.
Step 1: Contact us within 7 days
- Email photos showing the issue
- Describe what's wrong (fit, construction, fabric)
- We respond within 24 hours
Step 2: We assess the issue
Construction defect: FREE remake, no cost to you
Fit issue (despite approved draft):
- We review your draft approval communication
- If our error = FREE remake
- If you approved incorrect fit = alterations covered up to $30
Fabric defect: FREE replacement garment
Change of mind:
- Custom garments cannot be returned (made to YOUR measurements)
- However, if there's a genuine issue, we'll work with you to make it right
Our goal: You should LOVE your garment. We'll go above and beyond to ensure that.
This is why we do the draft fitting! If your draft doesn't fit perfectly, we'll adjust the pattern based on your feedback. The draft acts as insurance against measurement errors. You won't receive an ill-fitting final garment.
Prevention:
- We provide tracking for both draft and final shipment
- Email updates at every production milestone
- Transparent timeline estimates (3-6 weeks standard)
If delayed:
- Contact us IMMEDIATELY via WhatsApp (fastest response)
- We'll expedite production if possible
- Upgrade to express shipping at our cost if delay is our fault
Customs delays: Occasionally customs holds packages 1-3 days (outside our control). We provide all documentation to minimize this.
Recommendation: Order well in advance (6-8 weeks for important events). Rush services available for Bangkok visitors.
That's exactly why we do the draft fitting! Tell us what needs adjustment (tighter chest, longer sleeves, etc.) and we'll modify the pattern before creating your final garment. Most customers need 1-3 minor adjustments - this is normal and expected.
For major adjustments (significant shoulder repositioning, full pattern rebuild), we'll create a second draft at no extra cost to verify the changes before cutting your final fabric.
This is rare - 95% of customers approve their draft with zero or minor adjustments. But if needed, we'd rather send another $20 test garment than risk your $200+ fabric. Perfect fit is non-negotiable.
Draft fitting is our signature process - we create a test garment first, send it to you for fitting, then make the final garment based on your feedback.
This is the same method $3,000+ tailors use, ensuring a perfect fit before cutting your final fabric. Most online tailors skip this step and go straight to final production, risking fit issues.
Because every garment is custom-made to your measurements, we cannot accept returns for change of mind. However, if there's a defect in craftsmanship or materials, contact us within 7 days of receiving your final garment and we'll make it right.
The draft fitting process is designed to ensure you're happy with the fit before we create your final garment.
Our team is fluent in:
- English (primary)

Our CAVANI Sicily Collection Linen:
- 240gsm weight (substantial, not flimsy)
- Italian twill weave (stronger, more durable than plain weave)
- Pre-washed for shrink resistance
- Tightly woven = less wrinkling
- Color-fast dyes (won't fade in sun)
Cheap linen (mall brands, fast fashion):
- 120-160gsm (thin, see-through)
- Loose plain weave (wrinkles instantly)
- Not pre-treated (shrinks after first wash)
- Poor dye quality (fades quickly)
- Often blended with polyester (loses breathability)
You'll feel the difference the moment you touch it. CAVANI linen has weight, structure, and durability that cheap linen can't match.
We ship internationally to 50+ countries including USA, UK, Canada, Australia, EU countries, and throughout Asia. Select your country during checkout to confirm availability.
We service ALL Bangkok areas:

Bangkok has been Thailand's custom tailoring center for 60+ years, serving international clients (US military, diplomats, business travelers) who demand precision fit. My father spent his lifetime perfecting this craft - 16 years at Sofitel Hua Hin alone, where US Navy officers returned every deployment for his precision.
Thai artisans combine:
- Traditional hand-stitching techniques (8+ hours per garment)
- Canvas construction (floating chest pieces, not fused like mall suits)
- European fabric expertise (decades working with Italian mills)
- Cost efficiency (master tailors in Bangkok charge $150-250 vs $600-1,200 in NYC for same precision)
We continue these standards with modern measurement systems and draft fitting methodology.
We deliver the SAME draft fitting process at 1/3 the price through:
1. Bangkok Manufacturing:
- Master tailors charge $150-250 for full construction vs $600-1,200 in NYC
- Same precision, different cost of living
- I personally vet every artisan we work with
2. No Retail Markup:
- No physical stores ($15K-50K/month rent saved)
- No commissioned salespeople
- No showroom overhead
3. Digital-First Process:
- Virtual consultations replace expensive in-person fittings
- Efficient logistics (direct Bangkok → You)
4. Founder-Operated:
- I handle operations personally (no bloated team)
- Margins reinvested in fabric quality and customer experience
Result: Same bespoke quality, accessible pricing. We'd rather have 100 happy customers at $600 than 10 customers at $3,000.

Yes - an account is required to place an order.
Why We Require Accounts:
1. Pattern Storage
Your measurements and patterns are saved to your account forever. Without an account, we'd have no way to store your pattern for future reorders or track adjustments.
2. Order Communication
Custom tailoring requires back-and-forth: measurement confirmation, draft fitting feedback, adjustment discussions, shipping updates. An account keeps all communication in one place.
3. Order History
You can see past orders, saved measurements, pattern records, and delivery tracking.
Creating an Account:
Takes 30 seconds:
- Email address
- Password
- Name
Or sign in with Google for one-click setup.
Privacy: Your measurements and order details are private. We never share your data with third parties. Your pattern is stored securely and used only for YOUR orders.
The Benefit:
- First order: full draft fitting process
- Future orders: skip the draft (pattern already verified) = faster delivery
The account makes your second suit significantly easier than your first.
Less often than you think. Over-cleaning damages suits faster than wearing them.
General Rule: 2-4 times per year
- Regular wear (1-2x/week): Dry clean every 3-4 months
- Occasional wear (1-2x/month): Dry clean 2x per year
- Rare wear (special occasions): Dry clean once per year or after stains
Between Dry Cleans:
- Steam: A handheld steamer removes wrinkles and freshens fabric without chemicals. 5 minutes does the job.
- Brush: A soft clothes brush removes dust and surface dirt after each wear.
- Air out: Hang your suit in fresh air (not direct sunlight) after wearing.
- Spot clean: Address stains immediately with a damp cloth. Blot, don't rub.
- Rest days: Don't wear the same suit two days in a row. Fabric needs 24-48 hours to recover.
Why Not More Often?
Dry cleaning uses chemicals that break down fibers over time. A well-cared-for suit should last 10-15+ years. Over-cleaning cuts that in half.
When You MUST Dry Clean: Visible stains, noticeable odor, before long-term storage, after heavy wear in hot/humid conditions.
Fabric-Specific Notes: Wool is most forgiving. Linen shows stains more easily. Cotton can sometimes be gently hand-washed.
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.

Proper storage keeps your suit looking new for years. Poor storage destroys it in months.
The Essentials:
1. Wooden or Padded Hangers (Not Wire)
Wire hangers create shoulder bumps and distort shape. Wooden hangers (cedar is best) maintain shoulder structure. Hanger should match your shoulder width.
2. Breathable Garment Bags (Not Plastic)
Plastic traps moisture and promotes mildew. Canvas or cotton bags allow air circulation and protect against dust.
3. Cool, Dark, Dry Location
Avoid direct sunlight (fades color), humidity (promotes mold), and heat (breaks down fibers). Climate-controlled closet is ideal.
4. Cedar or Lavender (Not Mothballs)
Cedar blocks naturally repel moths. Lavender sachets also work. Mothballs work but leave chemical odor.
Long-Term Storage Checklist:
- Dry clean before storing (food residue attracts pests)
- Empty all pockets
- Hang on proper wooden hanger
- Button the top button (maintains shape)
- Place in breathable garment bag
- Add cedar blocks to closet
- Check every few months
Trouser Storage: Hang from cuffs using trouser hangers with clips, OR fold over a padded hanger bar. Don't hang from waist (stretches fabric).
Seasonal Rotation: Store winter suits in summer, summer suits in winter. Give each suit rest periods.
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.
If Time Is Short: Contact us immediately. We can sometimes expedite production. Bangkok Hotel Service can deliver in 5-8 days.
Our condolences if you're reading this during a difficult time. We're here to help.
Yes, you can pack a suit in a suitcase without destroying it. Here's how.
Option 1: Garment Bag (Best)
If your airline allows, use a folding garment bag. Suit stays hung with minimal folding, fits in overhead bin, arrives nearly wrinkle-free.
Option 2: Suit Folder
A hard-sided suit folder protects during travel. Fold jacket once (inside out), place in structured folder.
Option 3: The Roll Method (Suitcase)
Jacket:
1. Turn jacket inside out
2. Pop one shoulder inside the other (like a sleeping bag)
3. Fold in half lengthwise
4. Roll loosely from bottom up
5. Place in center of suitcase, surrounded by soft items
Trousers: Fold along crease lines, roll from waist to cuffs.
Option 4: Wear It
Simplest solution: wear the suit on the plane. You control the fit, it doesn't get crushed.
At Your Destination:
- Unpack immediately
- Hang in bathroom during hot shower (steam removes wrinkles)
- Most hotels have steamers available
- Hang overnight before wearing
Fabric Considerations:
- Wool: Most resilient, bounces back from wrinkles
- Linen: Wrinkles easily (but that's part of its character)
- Wool-polyester blends: Most wrinkle-resistant for travel
Pro Tip: Request a steamer when booking your hotel. 10 minutes of steaming restores any travel-worn suit.
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.
Contact support@linensuit.shop with your wedding date and we'll help you plan.
We charge in USD (US Dollars).

Our buttonholes use a combination of machine precision and hand-finishing.
The Process:
- Buttonholes: Machine-stitched for consistency, then hand-finished for clean edges
- Button attachment: Hand-sewn with proper shank for durability
- Working cuffs (surgeon's cuffs): If selected, buttonholes are functional and hand-finished
Why Not 100% Hand-Stitched?
True hand-stitched buttonholes add 2-3 hours per jacket and $200-400 to the cost. The visual difference is minimal - you'd need a loupe to see it.
Our approach delivers:
- Clean, consistent buttonholes
- Hand-finished edges (where it matters)
- Durability that matches full hand-stitching
- Price point of $590-800 instead of $2,000+
For Buttonhole Purists:
If 100% hand-stitched buttonholes are important to you, contact us. We can arrange it as a custom request with adjusted pricing and timeline.
Visual Quality: Our buttonholes are indistinguishable from hand-stitched at normal viewing distance. The functional quality is identical. The difference is craft tradition vs. practical result.
A full suit takes 8-12+ hours of skilled work.
Here's where the time goes:
Pattern & Cutting (1-2 hours)
- Pattern adjusted to your measurements
- Fabric laid, matched for pattern alignment
- Pieces cut precisely
Canvas Construction (2-3 hours)
- Canvas interlining shaped
- Chest piece attached
- Lapels structured
Jacket Assembly (3-4 hours)
- Front and back panels joined
- Sleeves set and attached
- Collar constructed
- Lining installed
- Buttonholes made, buttons attached
- Edge finishing
Trouser Construction (2-3 hours)
- Waistband construction
- Pockets installed
- Legs assembled
- Hem and cuff finishing
Pressing & Finishing (1 hour)
- Steam pressing for shape
- Final inspection and corrections
Why Can't It Be Faster?
Every shortcut affects quality. Fused instead of canvas saves 2 hours but loses drape and longevity. Fast fashion suits take 30-60 minutes and last 1-2 years. Ours take 8-12 hours and last 10-15+ years.
The Real Cost: At $590-800 for 8-12 hours of skilled work, you're paying roughly $50-100/hour for master craftsmanship. That's exceptional value for custom tailoring.
Every garment passes through multiple quality checkpoints before shipping.
Checkpoint 1: Post-Cutting
- Pattern alignment verified
- Fabric grain checked
- No fabric defects (holes, pulls, discoloration)
Checkpoint 2: Mid-Construction
- Canvas properly shaped
- Seams clean and straight
- Interlining smooth (no bubbles)
Checkpoint 3: Pre-Finishing
- Buttonholes clean and functional
- Buttons secure
- Pockets properly aligned
- Lining smooth and attached correctly
Checkpoint 4: Final Inspection
The complete garment is checked against a 25+ point checklist:
Jacket: Shoulders level and correct width, lapels lie flat, buttons aligned, buttonholes clean, sleeves same length, pockets aligned, lining smooth, no loose threads, clean pressing.
Trousers: Waistband sits flat, fly zips smoothly, pockets functional, legs same length, crease lines sharp, hem clean finish.
If Something Fails: The garment goes back for correction before shipping. We don't ship items that don't meet our standards - even if it delays your order slightly.
Your Final Check: When you receive your garment, inspect it within 7 days. If anything is wrong, contact us immediately. Our 30-day fit guarantee covers any issues.
Absolutely. Custom tailoring is the best solution for shorter men because we can adjust every proportion to create a taller, leaner silhouette.
What We Adjust:
- Jacket Length: Slightly shorter than standard - ends at your thumb knuckle, not mid-palm. This elongates your legs visually.
- Button Stance: Higher placement draws the eye upward and creates vertical lines.
- Lapel Width: Narrower lapels in proportion to your frame - not the wide lapels designed for 6'2" models.
- Shoulder Width: Precise fit without overhang - droopy shoulders make you look smaller.
- Trouser Break: Minimal to no break - fabric pooling at your ankles visually shortens your legs.
Why Off-the-Rack Fails Short Men:
"Short" sizes are just scaled-down regular patterns. The proportions stay wrong - armholes too low, button stance too low, lapels too wide for your frame.
Custom Advantage: We build your pattern from YOUR measurements - not a scaled-down average. The draft fitting verifies everything before final production.
Style Tips: Solid colors or subtle vertical patterns, matching suit (not separates), higher-rise trousers, and avoid contrast at the waist.
Lapels frame your face and set the tone of your suit. Here's how to choose.
Notch Lapel
- Look: V-shaped notch where lapel meets collar
- Formality: Business standard, versatile
- Best for: First suits, office wear, interviews, most occasions
- Our recommendation: Default choice for 80% of customers
Peak Lapel
- Look: Lapels point upward toward shoulders
- Formality: More formal, more fashion-forward
- Best for: Formal events, double-breasted suits, making a statement
- Body type: Visually broadens shoulders, great for narrow builds
Shawl Lapel
- Look: Smooth, rounded collar without notch
- Formality: Evening wear, black tie
- Best for: Tuxedos, dinner jackets, formal occasions only
- Note: Rarely appropriate for business settings
Quick Decision Guide:
- Job interview: Notch
- Office daily: Notch
- Wedding (guest): Notch or Peak
- Wedding (groom): Peak or Shawl
- Black tie: Peak or Shawl
- First custom suit: Notch
Width Matters Too: Slim lapels (2.5-3") are modern, medium (3-3.5") are classic, wide (3.5-4") are bold/vintage. Match lapel width to your tie width and body frame.
Yes - we make double-breasted suits. They're bold, confident, and not for everyone.
What is Double-Breasted?
- Two columns of buttons (usually 6 buttons, 2 functioning)
- Overlapping front panels
- Always worn buttoned
- Peak lapels standard
Who It Flatters:
Great for:
- Taller men (5'10"+) - the extra fabric won't overwhelm
- Slimmer builds - creates visual width and presence
- Confident dressers - it's a statement piece
- Formal occasions - weddings, galas, power meetings
Challenging for:
- Shorter men - can look overwhelming
- Heavier midsections - draws attention to stomach
- Casual settings - too formal for most offices
Style Notes:
- Always buttoned: Unlike single-breasted, you never unbutton a DB
- No vest needed: The overlapping fabric already adds formality
- Belt or braces: Trousers should sit at natural waist, higher than modern low-rise
Modern vs Vintage:
- Vintage (1940s): Wide lapels, boxy shoulders, looser fit
- Modern: Narrower lapels, natural shoulders, more tapered
We can do either - just tell us your preference.
Our Recommendation: If you've never worn DB, try one on before ordering custom. Once you're sure, custom DB is stunning - the fit makes all the difference.
Yes - athletic builds are actually ideal for custom tailoring because off-the-rack completely fails you.
What is "Drop"?
Drop = the difference between your chest and waist measurements.
- Standard off-the-rack: Assumes 6" drop (42" chest = 36" waist)
- Athletic builds: Often 8-12"+ drop (42" chest = 32-34" waist)
If you buy off-the-rack for your chest, the waist billows. If you buy for your waist, the chest is too tight.
How We Solve This:
- Chest: Room for your developed pecs and back without pulling
- Shoulders: Precise fit at your actual shoulder width - no padding needed
- Waist: Suppressed to YOUR measurement, creating the V-taper you've earned
- Armholes: Higher and shaped for muscular arms without restriction
- Sleeves: Tapered properly - fits your biceps without being baggy at wrists
Draft Fitting Catches: Chest tightness when you move, back pulling when you reach, shoulder restriction, sleeve tightness. We adjust based on how you actually move.
Result: A suit that shows off your physique instead of hiding it.
Yes - we offer functional buttonholes on sleeves (surgeon's cuffs).
What Are Surgeon's Cuffs?
Real buttonholes that actually open and close, as opposed to decorative buttons sewn on top of fake buttonholes. The name comes from surgeons who could roll up their sleeves without removing their jacket.
Why It Matters (Or Doesn't):
Arguments FOR:
- Traditional bespoke detail
- Shows attention to quality
- Allows sleeve roll-up (rarely done in practice)
- "Those who know, know" - subtle flex
Arguments AGAINST:
- Sleeves can't be lengthened after (buttonholes are permanent)
- Most people never notice
- Slightly higher cost
- If fit changes, sleeves can't be altered easily
Our Recommendation:
For first-time custom buyers: Skip them. Your body may change, and non-functional buttons allow future sleeve adjustments.
For experienced custom buyers with stable measurements: Consider them as a finishing detail.
How to Order: Select "Working buttonholes" in our sleeve customization options, or mention it when you select "Contact Me" at checkout.
Note: Once functional buttonholes are cut, sleeve length is permanent. Make sure your draft fitting sleeve length is exactly right before we add this detail.
Yes - and here's a secret: most people have some asymmetry. It's completely normal.
Common Asymmetries:
- One arm 0.5-1" longer than the other
- One shoulder slightly higher or more forward
- One leg slightly longer
- Slight spinal curvature affecting posture
Off-the-rack suits assume perfect symmetry. Custom accommodates reality.
How We Handle It:
During Measurement: We measure BOTH arms and legs separately, note shoulder height differences. Ultimate Precision service captures asymmetry automatically from your existing garment.
During Draft Fitting: Asymmetry becomes visible when you try it on. One sleeve riding up? We see it. One trouser leg breaking differently? We catch it.
What We Adjust: Different sleeve lengths (left vs right), different trouser leg lengths, shoulder padding differences, collar angle adjustments.
The Result: Your final suit hangs evenly and looks balanced - because it's built for YOUR body.
Tip: Tell us about any known asymmetry when you order. But even if you don't know, the draft fitting reveals everything.
Yes - we offer monogramming and custom embroidery.
Common Placements:
- Inner jacket lining: Most popular - visible when jacket opens, hidden when worn
- Cuff lining: Subtle, visible only to you
- Under collar: Hidden personalization
- Shirt cuff or chest: For dress shirts
What You Can Add:
- Initials: Classic 2-3 letter monogram
- Full name: More formal
- Date: Wedding date, anniversary, meaningful numbers
- Custom text: Short messages, mottos
- Logos: Company logos (additional charge may apply)
Font Options: We offer several font styles from classic script to modern block letters. You'll approve the design before production.
Colors: Match your lining, contrast for visibility, or keep subtle with tone-on-tone. We'll recommend based on your fabric choices.
Pricing: Standard monogramming (initials, single color) is available in customization options. Complex embroidery (multiple colors, logos) may have additional charges - we'll quote during consultation.
Timeline Impact: Minimal - monogramming adds 1-2 days to production.
How to Order: Select monogramming during checkout customization, or mention it when you select "Contact Me" for custom requests.
Yes — every shirt includes draft fitting. Same process as suits.
How It Works:
1. You submit measurements (DIY or Ultimate Precision)
2. We make a test shirt in fitting fabric
3. It ships to you — try it on at home
4. You send feedback (collar feel, sleeve length, body fit)
5. We adjust the pattern
6. We cut your Italian cotton with a verified fit
Why It Matters for Shirts:
Shirts sit directly against your skin. Every fit issue is felt constantly:
- Collar gaps when you move? Annoying all day.
- Sleeves too long? Bunching at your wrists.
- Body too billowy? Looks sloppy tucked in.
A suit jacket hides minor fit issues. A shirt has nowhere to hide.
Pattern Storage:
After your first shirt, we save your pattern. Reorder any fabric, any pattern — same verified fit, faster delivery.
Read more: What is Draft Fitting?
Collar fit is the #1 shirt fit problem — and the most visible. Here's how we get it right.
Common Collar Problems:
Collar Gap: Collar stands away from neck when you move
- Cause: Neck measurement too large, or collar style wrong for your neck slope
- Draft fitting catches this: You'll see the gap immediately when you try on
Too Tight: Uncomfortable, pulls at button, can't breathe
- Cause: Neck measurement too small, no ease allowance
- Draft fitting catches this: You'll feel the tightness instantly
Wrong Height: Collar too tall (hits jaw) or too short (disappears under jacket)
- Cause: Standard collar heights don't fit all necks
- Draft fitting catches this: You'll see proportion issues in photos
What We Measure:
Standard online tailors measure neck circumference only. That's not enough.
We also consider:
- Neck slope (how your neck angles from shoulder)
- Collar bone position
- How you naturally hold your head
The draft fitting reveals all of this in action — not just static measurements.
The Draft Fitting Check:
When your test shirt arrives:
1. Button the collar fully
2. Slide one finger between collar and neck — should fit snugly, not loose
3. Turn your head left and right — collar shouldn't gap or choke
4. Look in mirror — collar should sit flat against neck
Send us photos. We adjust the pattern if anything's off.
Result: Final shirt collar fits YOUR neck, not an average neck.

Yes - multiple options depending on your needs.
Option 1: High-Quality Online Images (Free)
Our product photos show true fabric colors and textures with multiple angles, close-up texture shots, and color-accurate photography. For most customers, this is sufficient.
Option 2: Request Physical Swatches
Contact us at support@linensuit.shop with the specific fabrics you're considering. We can mail small swatches for you to see in person.
- Cost: Shipping cost only
- Timeline: 1-2 weeks depending on location
- Best for: Customers deciding between similar colors or textures
Option 3: Bangkok Hotel Service (Best)
If you're visiting Thailand, we bring our complete swatch collection to your hotel:
- 200+ fabric samples
- See, touch, and compare in person
- Expert guidance on fabric choice
- Same visit: measurements + fabric selection
What Swatches Show: True color (screens vary), texture and weave pattern, weight and drape feel, how light interacts with fabric.
What Swatches Don't Show: How the fabric looks as a finished garment, how it moves with your body. That's what the draft fitting is for - you'll see your chosen fabric draped on your body before final production.
Our Recommendation: Start with online images. If deciding between 2-3 similar options, request swatches. For the full experience, visit Bangkok.
Two distinct lines, both Italian cotton, different characteristics:
Italian Cotton Collection — $115
- Weight: 180gsm (medium, year-round)
- Finish: Standard premium
- Patterns: 14 styles — plains, herringbone, twill, dobby textures, subtle stripes
- Best for: Foundation wardrobe, daily rotation, versatile basics
Premium Cotton Collection — $120
- Weight: 190gsm (slightly heavier)
- Finish: Silky finish (smoother hand feel, photographs beautifully)
- Patterns: Extensive variety — bengal stripes, windowpane, gingham, candy stripe, pinstripe, tattersall, chambray, graph check, and more
- Best for: Statement shirts, client-facing roles, video calls, pattern lovers
The $5 Difference:
The Premium line uses a silky finish treatment that adds smoothness and structure. The extra 10gsm creates a more substantial drape. Both are Italian cotton, both include draft fitting.
How to Choose:
- Building a foundation wardrobe? Start with Italian Cotton (180gsm)
- Want statement patterns that photograph well? Go Premium Cotton (190gsm)
- Not sure? Order one of each — your pattern works for both lines
Note: Our online collection is curated and growing. We contact every customer within 24 hours before cutting to confirm details — if you have specific preferences not shown, let us know.
Four collar styles, each suited to different faces and occasions:
Business Collar (Most Popular)
- Classic point collar with moderate spread
- Works with any tie knot
- Best for: Most face shapes, office wear, interviews
- Our recommendation for first-time buyers
Spread Collar
- Wider angle between collar points
- Shows more of your tie knot
- Best for: Round faces (elongates visually), confident dressers, fashion-forward looks
- Works well without a tie too
Straight Collar (Button-Down)
- Collar points button to shirt
- Most casual of the options
- Best for: Smart casual, no-tie looks, weekend wear
- Not ideal for formal occasions
Hidden Button Collar
- Buttons hidden under collar points
- Clean look of spread collar with stability of button-down
- Best for: Those who want structure without visible buttons
Face Shape Guide:
| Face Shape | Best Collar |
|---|---|
| Round | Spread (elongates) |
| Long/Narrow | Business (balances) |
| Square | Spread or Business |
| Oval | Any style works |
With or Without Tie:
- Always wearing ties? Business or Spread
- Rarely wearing ties? Spread or Straight
- Both? Spread is most versatile
Not Sure? Start with Business collar — it's called "business" for a reason. Works everywhere.

Don't See Your Pattern?
Our online collection is curated — we're constantly adding new options. If you have a specific pattern in mind (a reference photo, a pattern name, something you saw elsewhere), place your order and tell us. We contact every customer within 24 hours before cutting to confirm details. We can often source what you're looking for.
Yes and no — here's the smart approach.
Don't Match Exactly:
Wearing a shirt in the exact same fabric as your suit looks like a uniform, not an outfit. The pieces blend together instead of complementing each other.
Do Coordinate Colors:
| Suit Color | Best Shirt Colors |
|---|---|
| Navy | White, light blue, pink, lavender |
| Charcoal | White, light blue, light pink |
| Grey | White, light blue, pink |
| Tan/Beige | White, light blue, chambray |
| Brown | White, cream, light blue |
Pattern Coordination:
- Solid suit: Any shirt pattern works (your chance to add personality)
- Patterned suit: Solid shirt or small-scale pattern only
- Rule: Never match pattern scales (wide stripe suit + wide stripe shirt = disaster)
What We Can Do:
While we don't make shirts in suit fabrics, we can help coordinate:
- Recommend shirt colors that complement your suit order
- Suggest pattern combinations
- Build a capsule wardrobe (3 suits + 6 shirts that all work together)
Order Together:
When you order suits and shirts in the same order:
- Upper body pattern (from suit) + separate shirt pattern = both saved
- Coordinate fitting timelines
- Ship together when both complete
Contact us if you want help building a coordinated wardrobe — we'll suggest specific fabric and pattern combinations.
