There's nothing quite like the cut of your own slim fit suit styled to your individual taste and made to your unique fit. We can custom tailor a slim fit look for you that's sure to make you look sharp and professional.
The traditional suit is the cornerstone of a man’s wardrobe, but its fit may not be right for every body type. Many men need or want suits with a slimmer, more modern cut. However, making slim suits requires more than just tweaking a measurement here or there; you need a design to match your exact measurements. At Montagio, we know it’s all about the fit, and we can help you get the fit you need.
A slim fit suit custom made to your individual taste and tailored to fit you perfectly is a striking statement.
Unfortunately, we have noticed many men seem happy to trundle around the city in their poorly-fitting suits. They seem oblivious to how the world around them sees them.
A slim fit suit makes the statement "I'm an alpha male, a confident go-getter, I know what I want and I'm not afraid to go after it. I do not compromise."
In contrast, a poorly fitting suit can say to the world you don't take pride in your appearance and often makes you appear less confident, sloppy and unintelligent. Now, we all know how much impressions count for in this world - a lot!
Which one are you?
We see so many men who think that they have a good fitting suit bought off-the-rack only to find that after they try custom tailoring their view changes forever. Countless times we've been told "I never knew I could look so good and feel so good!" This gives us great satisfaction in knowing we're helping someone achieve their best look.
First, change your mindset about where to buy your men's suit. Stop thinking about buying retail off-the-rack and start thinking custom tailoring. After all, it costs the same and is more convenient.
Often retail shops advertise slim fit suits, but whether or not a suit fits slim depends on your individual shape, not the shape of the suit. A few small centimetres here and there can drastically alter the look and comfort of your suit. If it's not slim enough, you won't cut that sharp, sleek silhouette you want. A little too slim, and you won't be able to lean over to tie your shoes.
Getting the right slim fit in a suit is a precision game. That's why only a custom tailored garment is guaranteed to give you the look you want combined with the comfort you need.
However, when it comes to custom tailoring, Australia is lagging behind the rest of the world. In Canada, the US, the UK, Japan, Germany and many other countries, custom tailoring is the way to go. There are only a handful of specialised tailors in Australia able to provide this service, and yes, we're proud to be one of them.
A custom tailored slim fit garment typically costs about the same as you would pay for a good quality off-the-rack suit, but what you get is a superbly tailored product made with high-end materials, expert stitching, and a much better fit. In fact, it is made to your exact measurements.
Our 2 piece men's slim fit suits are so reasonably priced, you need not spend a fortune for the suit itself, and then another small fortune getting it altered to your fit.
A Montagio slim fit suit comes out perfect 9 out of 10 times on the first fitting. On the rare occasion the fit is not perfect on the first go, we cover the cost of any necessary alterations you'll need to get to get the fit just right (see our Alterations Policy). Next, we adjust your measurements in our file so that on future orders, you always receive a superbly fitting garment.
In terms of quality, whether you purchase from our starting range or our top-end suits, the quality is consistently superb. The only differentiators are the brand and thread-count of the fabrics used. Otherwise, the stitching and finishing is equal regardless of the price range.
Worried about time? It can take as little as 30 minutes for your custom tailored consultation, which is a lot less time than you'd normally spend trying on scores of jackets and trousers in retail stores. Your order will be ready within approximately 3-4 weeks.
Overall, it is absolutely well worth the time investment when you try your suit on and it fits you like a glove – just the way you like it.
So come and see us now to try your first Montagio slim fit suit.
