A GOOD TAILOR REVOLUTIONIZES MORE THAN JUST YOUR WARDROBE.
Most garments cater to an 'average' body type, which is essentially non-existent. Tailoring bridges this gap. Subtle alterations, such as a half-inch adjustment at the waist, shortening sleeves to align with the wrist bone, or refining the shoulder line to achieve a seamless fit, can make a significant impact. Tailoring is not exclusive to formal attire; even everyday shirts and traditional clothing benefit from precise adjustments.

What would be the first garment you would opt to have tailored if given the opportunity?

Fellow "Tailors",

Stop blaming your rough work on that manual machine. You can create a neat an unique piece with your manual machine.

With the right needle size, thread size, proper cutting and ironing, you can achieve it.

Calm down and pay attention to details while sewing.

Tailoring 101: Basic Principle

2. The Fit

One of the more hands-on aspects of tailoring is taking a fitting of the client, and professional tailors pride themselves on being able to get the fit correct every time. Entire outfits, regardless of material and aesthetic, can be ruined if the fit is off, even by a small margin. Therefore it is essential that everything is sized and fitted correctly from the beginning.

Fitting refers to how the cloth fits on the body; it shouldn’t be too large or too tight. Different designs will have different fits, but the ultimate goal is to craft the outfit to perfectly fit the client’s body. Draping and fall will be emphasised on some wears more than others.

Believe it or not, a large part of this process comes down to dialogue with the customer. Understanding what the customer wants precisely helps the tailor meet their needs. Sometimes a customer may not be certain what type of cloth cutting design or pattern they want. In this circumstance, a master tailor will thoroughly explain the different options available, and size them accordingly.

TAILORING 101: BASIC PRINCIPLES

1.FABRICS

Oftentimes people wonder how to choose a fabric for their clothes. Fabric is perhaps one of the most important, yet overlooked aspects of any tailored outfit, and is usually the best place to start.
But comfort and fabric go hand in hand. It’s important to pick out a quality fabric that has the correct composition and super count (the higher the count, the softer the fabric). It’s also important to take the brand and colour details into consideration as well.
Some of the most popular fabrics for tailored suits are silk, linen and wool. Let’s examine them one by one…

SILK CHARACTERISTICS

Silk is popular because it is a material that is soothing and soft, while not being slippery. It also has a premium look to it - with a subtle, yet noticeable shine. Silk is also quite strong and durable, but it should be noted that it doesn’t hold up well when wet. It is also a moderately elastic fabric, and comfortable fabric.

LINEN CHARACTERISTICS

Linen is a highly absorbent fabric that is around 25% stronger than cotton. Linen also has great heat conductivity, keeping you warm in the colder months, and cool in the warmer months. That, along with its soft feel, is why it’s generally considered to be a very comfortable fabric.

WOOL CHARACTERISTICS

Wool is one of the oldest fabrics known to man, and can be manufactured in many different ways. Two of the most common ways wool can be made is worsted, or woolen.
Worsted is a finer grade pull, looking and feeling smoother to the touch. Woolen is nappier and often warmer to wear, but for some people it can cause irritation to the skin.
At Raja, our collection of premium materials and fabrics are designed to give you the utmost comfort and support, whilst ensuring you look sharp for your next outing. Contact us today to learn more about how to choose a fabric for your clothes.
