The fitting is one of the most important moments of true bespoke tailoring. When a customer puts on their sample shirt, they're not simply trying on an incomplete garment: they're participating in a fundamental technical step, the one that will transform an idea into a perfect shirt.
The tailor immediately checks the key points: the fit of the shoulders, the fit of the back, the fit of the collar, the length of the sleeves. He asks the customer to move, raise their arms, sit down, and make natural gestures. Only then can he truly understand whether the shirt follows their movements without constricting them.
With chalk and pins, every correction is precisely marked: an adjustment on the side, a few millimeters to be taken up on the sleeve, a line on the chest to improve comfort. These aren't aesthetic details, but technical steps that determine the final quality. The fitting serves precisely this purpose: to collect real data on the body and translate it into sartorial perfection.
But it's not just about technique. The fitting is also a moment of mutual trust. The customer relies on the tailor's eye and experience, while the craftsman interprets posture, habits, and preferences to create a garment that truly reflects the customer. It's a discreet dialogue, made of observation, listening, and small adjustments that, when combined, make all the difference.
At the end of the fitting, the customer looks at himself in the mirror. He doesn't yet have the final shirt in front of him, but he can already imagine the final result. He knows that every mark and every adjustment brings him closer to a garment that will be his alone, unique and unrepeatable.
The fitting isn't just a secondary step: it's the heart of the bespoke process. It's where the shirt comes to life and prepares to become a lasting style companion.
