Made to Measure Service

The made-to-measure we offer through Byrceland's is an expression of our style, and a desire to help our customers create and design tailoring, which shows their own personal style and taste. 

Our house block: the foundations for all our made-to-measure suits, is tailored for us in Hong Kong by W.W. Chan. With a dramatic wider lapel and low gorge, falling into an elegant 3/2 roll; soft, broad shoulder and fuller fitting body, designed to drape and hang beautifully, not closely contour the body. 

The trouser: our 'Winston', is high-rise, with a button fly and two deep forward-facing pleats, with a leg which subtly tapers, to create a neat and timeless silhouette. 

The process starts here at 48 Chiltern St. where we encourage making an appointment, in advance, for your consultation - so that we can provide the best and most in-depth service at this early stage of the process. Each item is individually hand cut and hand finished, by master crafts men and women in Hong Kong, using traditional Shanghainese methods, and will arrive in London within 6-8 weeks. Something which, we believe, sets our made-to-measure apart form the rest, is the amount of work by hand which goes into it. Our production is about 95% hand finished, including: basting, lining, collar backing, button holes and shaping.

With our house cut being a little looser through the body and designed to drape to the wearers form, we find little to no alterations are generally required. Allowing you to walk away with a finished garment, designed and crafted specifically for you. 

Fitting & Measurements

Beginning with our in-house sizing garments, once fitted in the correct block size, we can then begin the process of pinning and marking any adjustments to the pattern to fit your form. Once satisfied with the amendments to the block garment, we can start the fun part of discussing personal style and details for the garment in question: be it a two piece suit, sports jacket or trousers, all customisable to your needs, without straying too far from our intended cut.

Before the fitting we will be in contact regarding your inspiration and requirements, to better enable us to discuss season of fabric, and how the garment is intended to be worn. This will give an idea of the block needed, as well as which fabrics would best suit your needs, allowing us to have examples of applicable fabrics ready to discuss.

In store we have numerous cloths to choose from from reputable British mills; including but not limited to: Fox Brothers, Dugdale, Holland and Sherry, Standeven and Harrisons, as well as a small variety of deadstock lengths when available. In addition, if you have a particular cloth/mill in mind, we will accommodate where possible (lead times may be affected).
