Suited to a Fitting Measurement; Tailoring, A Revived Skill in Sydney

The time to be clad in debonaire suits custom fit matching a classic man of mystery, has returned. Technology has brought us out of another fashion stone age. After a 3D sizing, you can pick your style and walk out in a custom waterproof onesie if you so desire.

There are better ways to grab attention than to dress like King Louis XIV. Today custom made-to-order suits can be shipped to you using previous measurements from your sizing. 3D body scanning has revolutionized made-to-measure suits in Sydney. It’s a great time to dress in class.

Technology has taken human error out of the equation regarding measurements. You can choose from a rainbow of colours, patterns, materials, and adornments. Try on one hundred different styles in virtual reality to confirm your style choices.  3D modelling can produce properly fitting patterns for an individual in seconds.

From this 3D sizing, the same as when done by hand, your tailor can send your new clothes to you. You can easily add monogramming, family crests, signatures, or symbols with personal meaning and significance to any clothing you wear.

By 4000 BC we had various types of yarn. The fabric was woven. Strips of it were sewn together to look like one piece. It was not until the 18th century that things started to shift. In the past, all clothing was measured, cut, and sewn by hand before a tailor invented a sewing machine in 1790. The first machine clothing factory started in France in 1830. It was used to replicate military uniforms in mass. Quick to adapt retail designers implemented the sewing machines, offering volume pricing to the masses of shoppers.

The low prices of mass production, drove tailors to extend more services and develop personal patterns to retain customers. The #1 choice for anyone who could afford it was still custom tailoring. The 1920s was a golden era when quality-material availability met generations-old tailors, and fantastically crafted suits resulted. They would teach no one their personally developed patterns or stitches until someone purchased the business.

Fusing in the 1960s made clothes and fabric of decent quality. They were firm and stiff. Material, adhesive, and bonding technologies continued to advance until the tracksuits of the ’80s and the preppy look of the ’90s were in vogue.

Access to the skills and patterns of the master tailors was surrendered to only the wealthy. People stopped living the lifestyles that supported that fashion. How often do we find a reason to wear a sport coat and tie? Which tailors in Sydney have you visited? What are you waiting for? Go to a tailor today, ask questions, and get a 3D sizing.

Conclusion

Tailoring is a complex process no longer. Understanding the movements of the human body of various-sized people, and working in negative forms of inside-out construction to hide seams involves complex mathematics now performed by computers. Measurements now take minutes, not an entire day, and no errors will occur.

I think it’s time to increase the class inside your closet.
