We believe that clothing is more than just fabric and thread—it’s an expression of individuality, a statement of sophistication, and a testament to craftsmanship. For several decades, we have been dedicated to the art of custom tailoring, creating garments that are as unique as the gentlemen who wear them. Nestled in the heart of Savile Row, the global epicentre of bespoke tailoring, we take pride in offering an unparalleled experience that combines tradition, innovation, and personalisation.
In this article, we invite you to explore the world of custom tailoring—what it means, why it matters, and how our process at Hidalgo Brothers ensures every suit is a masterpiece.
What is Custom Tailoring?
Custom tailoring is the art of creating a garment entirely from scratch, designed to fit your body and reflect your personal style. Unlike off-the-rack suits, which are mass-produced in standard sizes, or made-to-measure options, which are adjusted from existing patterns, custom tailoring begins with a blank canvas. Every detail—from the fabric and cut to the buttons and stitching—is chosen by you and crafted by skilled artisans to meet your exact specifications.
At Hidalgo Brothers, we see custom tailoring as more than just a service; it’s a collaborative journey between client and tailor. It’s about understanding your lifestyle, preferences, and aspirations, then translating them into a garment that feels as though it was made just for you—because it was. This level of personalisation ensures a perfect fit, enhances your confidence, and creates a truly one-of-a-kind suit.
The benefits of custom tailoring are undeniable. First and foremost, it offers a superior fit. Our tailors take precise measurements and create a unique pattern tailored to your body, ensuring every curve and contour is accounted for. Secondly, it allows for complete personalisation. Whether you prefer a classic two-button suit or a bold double-breasted design, every element is crafted to reflect your individuality. Finally, the quality of a custom-tailored suit is unmatched. Using only the finest fabrics and traditional hand-stitching techniques, we create garments that are not only durable but also timeless in their appeal.
In a world where fast fashion dominates, custom tailoring stands as a testament to the enduring value of craftsmanship and individuality. It’s an investment in yourself, a celebration of your unique style, and a garment that will serve you for years to come.
Why Choose Custom Tailoring on Savile Row?
Savile Row is synonymous with the pinnacle of bespoke tailoring, a street steeped in history and tradition that has dressed kings, celebrities, and discerning gentlemen for over two centuries.

The Hidalgo Brothers’ Custom Tailoring Process
Our custom tailoring process is a journey of collaboration, creativity, and craftsmanship. From the first consultation to the final fitting, every step is designed to ensure your suit is a perfect reflection of your style and personality. Here’s how we bring your vision to life:
1. Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a conversation. During this initial consultation, we take the time to understand your style preferences, lifestyle, and the purpose of your suit. Whether you’re looking for a sharp business suit, an elegant wedding ensemble, or a casual yet sophisticated piece, we tailor our recommendations to your needs. Bring along any ideas or inspiration, and we’ll work together to create a design that’s uniquely yours.
2. Fabric Selection
Next, we guide you through our extensive collection of luxury fabrics sourced from the finest mills in England, Scotland, and Italy. From lightweight wool for summer suits to rich tweeds for winter, our range ensures you’ll find the perfect material to match your vision. Our tailoring consultants are on hand to advise you on the best choices for durability, comfort, and style.
3. Precision Measurements
A perfect fit is the cornerstone of custom tailoring. Our expert custom tailors in London take precise measurements, capturing every detail of your physique to create a unique pattern tailored to your body. This meticulous process ensures your suit will fit flawlessly, enhancing your comfort and confidence.
4. Customisation
This is where your suit truly becomes your own. From lapel styles and pocket designs to buttons and stitching, every detail is customisable. Want a monogram woven in 24-carat gold thread? We can arrange that. Our goal is to create a garment that reflects your individuality and taste, down to the smallest detail.
5. Fittings and Adjustments
Once the initial construction is complete, we invite you for multiple fittings to refine the fit and make any necessary adjustments. This step ensures your suit meets your expectations in every way, from the drape of the fabric to the alignment of the seams.
6. Final Touches
The finishing touches are what elevate a great suit to an extraordinary one. Our skilled artisans add hand-stitched buttonholes, personalised monograms, and other bespoke details to complete your garment. The result is a suit that is not only impeccably tailored but also a true work of art.
