MADE-TO-MEASURE SUIT PRICING
A Clear Approach to Pricing
What's the Investment
A great suit starts with understanding your style, the occasion and what you’d like to spend.
At The Tailors Lounge in Richmond, Melbourne, we guide you through fabrics, design details and fit, with clear pricing before you order.
Individually customised two-piece suits from $1,000.
This includes your jacket and trousers, personalised fittings and alterations if required.
Your Style. Your Choice of Fabric
A black wedding suit, a navy suit for work or a tuxedo for an important evening. Many of the looks in our collection can be created using fabrics at different price points from different fabric mills.
Your choice of cloth is the main factor in determining the price of your suit. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your budget and introduce suitable options, helping you compare how each fabric feels, drapes and suits the occasion.
If you have inspriration of the look already, bring photos to your appointment. You don’t need to choose the exact fabric pictured to achieve a similar look.
One Look, Different Possibilities
Two black suits can look similar in a photograph while feeling quite different in person.
The composition, weave, weight and finish of a fabric influence its character and price. Some cloths are particularly suited to regular wear, while others offer a distinctive texture, softness or drape.
A more expensive fabric isn’t essential to creating an elegant suit. We’ll help you understand the differences and select a cloth that suits your priorities.
What Determines the Price?
YOUR FABRIC
We offer an extensive selection of fabrics across different price points. Your consultant will guide you through options suited to your budget, the season and how often you plan to wear your suit.
YOUR GAMENTS
A two-piece suit includes a jacket and trousers. You can complete your outfit with a waistcoat, custom shirt or additional pair of trousers, each priced separately.
YOUR FINISHING DETAILS
Most customisations are included, from lapel and pocket styles to lining choices and personal details. Where a particular option carries an additional charge, we’ll explain it and confirm the price before you proceed.
What's Included?
Every individually customised made-to-measure suit includes:
- A personal consultation covering your style, occasion and budget.
- Guidance through fabric selection and design details.
- Measurements and an assessment of your posture and fit preferences.
- A suit made to your measurements and selected design.
- Fitting appointments to refine the fit.
- A standard half canvas internal construction
- Alterations, with no additional alteration fees.
A considered approach to your wedding party
Your suit and your groomsmen’s outfits don’t need to be identical to work beautifully together.
Alongside our individually customised suits, we offer a dedicated groomsmen collection with a set design and a choice of four fabrics: black, navy, grey and charcoal. Each ensemble includes a suit, shirt, pocket square and tie or bow tie, making it simple to coordinate your wedding party.
The collection follows a fixed specification, with no design customisations. We’ll introduce the options during your consultation and help you decide which approach suits your plans.
YOUR PRICING QUESTIONS ANSWERED
How much does a made-to-measure suit cost?
Our individually customised, made-to-measure two-piece suits range from $1,000 to $6,000, with fabric selection being the primary influence on price. From versatile everyday fabrics to our most luxurious cloths, our collection offers options for a range of occasions, preferences and budgets.
Every two-piece suit includes your jacket, trousers, fittings and any alterations required to perfect the fit. During your consultation, we’ll guide you through fabrics that align with your desired look and budget, with any additional garments or chargeable options clearly explained before you order.
For individual garments, our made-to-measure jackets start from $699, trousers and waistcoats from $299, and shirts from $219.
Can you work within my budget?
Let us know what you’d like to spend at the beginning of your consultation. We’ll explain what’s available within your budget and guide you through suitable fabrics and garment options.
Why do similar-looking suits have different prices?
Fabrics in the same colour can differ in composition, weave, weight and finish. These differences aren’t always obvious in photographs, but they affect how the cloth feels, wears and drapes, as well as its price.
Can I choose a different fabric for a suit shown on your website?
Yes. Many of our looks can be interpreted in alternative fabrics. We’ll help you explore suitable options and explain any differences in colour, texture or drape. All our suits are custom made so what you see is purely for inspiration. Fabrics and styling options can be changed during the design process.
Are alterations included?
Yes. Alterations to your made-to-measure garments are included by our on-site tailors, allowing us to refine the fit without additional alteration fees.
Will I know the full price before ordering?
Yes. We’ll confirm the price of your selected garments, fabrics and any additional options before we move on to the measuring process.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about our process, timing, and experience.
What does “made to measure” mean?
Made to measure means your garment is created specifically for you, using a standard pattern that’s adjusted to your body measurements, posture, and preferences. You’ll choose the fabric, cut, lining, buttons, and finishing details, and the suit is then produced to those specifications.
It’s a highly personalised process, without the time and cost of full bespoke tailoring.
What are the benefits of made to measure compared to off-the-rack?
The biggest difference is intent. Made to measure is designed around you, whereas off-the-rack is designed to fit as many people as possible.
With made to measure, you benefit from:
- A fit tailored to your body shape, posture, and proportions
- Greater comfort and freedom of movement
- Control over fabric, cut, and styling details
- A more balanced, refined silhouette
- Consistency across future garments once your profile is established
Rather than altering a finished product to “make it work,” made to measure allows the suit to be built correctly from the start — resulting in a garment that looks
better, feels better, and wears more naturally.
It’s also worth noting that many adjustments simply aren’t possible with
off-the-rack suits. Changes such as correcting posture, adjusting the first
button position to achieve proper torso proportions, or refining the shoulder
line are often limited or avoided entirely, as they can compromise the structure of the garment. In many cases, these alterations aren’t offered at all - particularly when a wearer sits between standard sizes.
What customisations can I make to my suit?
Made to measure allows for a high level of personalisation. You’ll be guided through choices such as:
- Fabric selection
- Jacket style, lapel shape, and structure
- Button stance and button materials
- Lining colours, patterns, and custom picture linings
- Pocket styles and detailing
- Trouser cut, waistband style, and finishing
- Personal touches such as monogramming
Our role is to help refine these options, so the final result feels intentional,
balanced, and true to how you’ll actually wear the suit.
Do you rent suits or sell off-the-rack garments?
No. The Tailors Lounge does not offer suit hire or off-the-rack suits.
Everything we create is made to measure and produced specifically for the individual. This allows us to maintain a consistent standard of fit, quality, and finish across all garments we make.
How long does the process take?
For corporate and everyday clients:
From the date we take your measurements, the typical turnaround is 5–6 weeks.
For wedding clients:
We recommend an initial free consultation 6–9 months out from the
wedding. This first visit is about information gathering, exploring options,
and planning timelines — not measuring.
Final measurements are usually taken closer to the date, with the final
fitting scheduled approximately one month before the wedding. This helps
reduce stress and allows adequate time to refine the fit if needed.
While we encourage this timeline, shorter lead times can often be accommodated — it’s always worth having a conversation.
Do you offer alterations?
Yes. We provide in-house refinements on garments made by The Tailors Lounge to ensure the final fit is exactly right.
We don’t offer alteration services for suits made elsewhere.
Do you work after hours and on weekends?
Yes. We understand that not everyone can attend appointments during standard business hours.
After-hours and weekend appointments are available by arrangement. We recommend booking in advance so we can ensure the space and time are set aside
for you.
What should I expect at the consultation?
Your consultation is relaxed, personalised, and entirely pressure-free. We’ll spend time understanding your needs, lifestyle, and preferences — whether it’s for a wedding, corporate wardrobe, or personal style upgrade.
During the appointment:
- You’ll explore fabrics, colours, and styles in a hands-on way
- You can try on sample garments to see how different cuts and fabrics look on you, helping guide your decisions
- We’ll discuss cut, fit, and tailoring options
- We’ll guide you through the customisation choices available for your suit
- Measurements are usually discussed but may be scheduled for a later date, especially for weddings, to allow time for planning and decision-making
- You can enjoy our showroom amenities — lounge, bar, pool table, chess, and more — while we guide you through the process
By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of the timeline, options, pricing, and next steps, leaving you confident about the suit we’ll create for you.
Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are recommended so we can give you our full attention, particularly for
consultations and fittings. Walk-ins are welcome when availability allows, but
booking ahead ensures the best experience.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. Our consultations are complimentary and designed to be informative, relaxed, and pressure-free — giving you the clarity you need to make confident decisions
when the time is right.
