The Art of Measurement

At Fielding & Nicholson, taking measurements is a fine art. We don’t just take note of your size; we consider posture, movement, and body nuances. Over 30 precise measurements are recorded, from shoulder angles to sleeve lengths, ensuring a fit that’s comfortable and visually striking.

This meticulous process allows us to craft a suit that enhances your natural shape while providing the comfort and flexibility you need for every occasion.

What Fabric Choices Are Available and Why Do We Select These?

Selecting the Right Fabric

A bespoke suit starts with the fabric. At Fielding & Nicholson, we offer a curated selection of premium materials, including:

Wool

Perfect for year-round wear, offering durability and breathability.

Cashmere

A luxurious choice for softness and warmth in colder months.

Silk Blends

Ideal for eveningwear, adding a subtle sheen and elegance.

Why These Fabrics?

Our partnerships with esteemed British Brands and Italy ensure we source only the finest materials. Each fabric is selected not just for its aesthetic appeal but for its functionality. For example, heavier wool blends are ideal for winter suits, while lightweight linens and cottons excel in summer. This attention to detail ensures that your suit looks as good as it feels, no matter the occasion or season.

What Is a Baste Fitting and Its Significance?

Understanding Baste Fitting

A baste fitting is a hallmark of true bespoke tailoring. At this stage, your suit is loosely stitched together to allow for adjustments. This fitting is an opportunity for both you and the tailor to assess the fit and make significant modifications before the suit is completed.

Think of it as the blueprint stage of your suit—where your feedback shapes the final masterpiece.

Refining Your Suit: What Happens at Each Fitting?

Iterative Perfection

Each fitting brings your suit closer to perfection. From adjusting the taper of the trousers to fine-tuning the jacket’s drape, every detail is refined with precision. This iterative process ensures that your suit not only fits but complements your posture, movements, and personal style.

 

When Is Your Bespoke Suit Truly Complete?

The Final Touch

The final fitting is where everything comes together. Here, your suit undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure every seam, button, and lining meets our exacting standards. Adjustments are made if necessary, and the suit is pressed to perfection before it’s ready to join your wardrobe.

Our Commitment to Quality: What Checks Do We Perform?

Ensuring Excellence

At Fielding & Nicholson, quality is non-negotiable. Each garment undergoes rigorous checks, from stitch integrity to fabric alignment. We scrutinise every detail to guarantee that your bespoke suit is flawless and enduring.

Why Are Multiple Fittings Integral to Our Bespoke Process?

The Path to Perfection

Bespoke tailoring is a journey, not a single event. Multiple fittings allow us to refine the garment iteratively, ensuring the final product fits like a glove. This process ensures that your suit reflects both your vision and our commitment to excellence.
