How it works

From first fitting to final collection

Bespoke is simpler than it sounds. Here's what happens after you book, and how long it takes.

  1. Book your consultation

    Pick a time online or call the studio. We'll talk through the occasion, your style and your budget.

  2. Measurements and fabric

    We take a full set of measurements, then you choose the cloth, lapels, lining, buttons and monogram.

  3. Fittings

    You try the garment as it takes shape, and we adjust it until it sits exactly right.

  4. Collect and wear

    Final pressing, final check, and it's yours. We keep your measurements on file for next time.

Most commissions take 4 to 6 weeks from measurements to collection. Getting married? Start 3 to 4 months before the date, and earlier if you're dressing the whole wedding party.

Client reviews

In our clients' words

Real reviews from Google, from clients who came in for a suit, a tuxedo or a wedding party.

I walked in with little to no idea as to what I wanted. Through some talking and questioning he was able to come up with the perfect suit for me. Service was superb, the materials felt luxurious, and the fit was perfect. Well worth the investment!

Our studio

Made to measure on Milwaukee Avenue since 2014

The Tailored Foundation is a bespoke studio in Libertyville led by Aarish Mustafa. Every suit, shirt and pair of shoes starts with a conversation and a full set of measurements, and is cut to your body rather than a size on a rack.

Clients come to us for weddings, black-tie events, work wardrobes and milestone gifts. You work with Aarish from the first measurement to the final fitting, and many clients come back for the next occasion.

Questions

Before your first fitting

The things people usually ask before they book. If yours isn't here, we're happy to talk it through.

What happens at a fitting consultation?

We take precise measurements, talk through your style and the occasion, and show you fabrics. You leave with a clear plan for your garment and a quote before anything is ordered.

How much does a custom suit cost?

It depends on the cloth and construction you choose. We'll give you a clear quote at your consultation, so you know exactly where you stand before anything is made.

How long does it take?

Most commissions take 4 to 6 weeks from measurements to collection. If you're working to a tight deadline, tell us when you book and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.

How early should a groom start?

We recommend booking 3 to 4 months before the wedding, and earlier if you're dressing the whole wedding party. That leaves time for fittings without any rush.

Where is your studio?

Our studio is at 757 N Milwaukee Ave, Libertyville, IL 60048. Book online or call ahead to arrange a time.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Wear what you'd normally wear with a suit, including the shoes, and bring photos of any styles you like. If it's for an event, bring the date.
