A bespoke suit is something everybody should have in their wardrobe, where do you recommend someone start when it comes to choosing their elements?
You need to start with the purpose of the suit – what is the occasion, who are you going with, what is the dress code, what is the colour. The fit will be taken care of by the expert team of clothiers at Wil Valor.
What is the benefit of a tailored suit?
The benefit is peace of mind that the fit will be exactly as it should be, you will have an expert guiding you, someone who does this day in and day out with all walks of life who will be guiding you down this path.
Tell us what we can expect as we head into a new season of suiting this winter?
