Dolce&Gabbana tailors meticulously measure each client to ensure that the suit they will receive is not only one of a kind, but one that is specifically designed to fit his body.

The initial step in creating a Made to Measure garment is ensuring that this first and crucial step, the cut, is carried out with impeccable precision, following the weave and texture of the fabric.

Dolce&Gabbana Made to Measure suits are created like paintings on a canvas. The canvas in a suit is made in wool and used on the inside of the chest and the lapels, whereas a linen one is preferred on the collar and the sleeves and bottom of the jacket are strengthened with cotton canvas.

The artisanal component of these garments requires some of the most precise and attentive work. The two symbols of classic elegance, the jacket and the waistcoat, are entirely sewn by hand, from the armhole to the shoulders to the internal lining and cut on the sleeve.

Made using traditional tailoring techniques, the creation of sartorial trousers includes the bar track on the side of the pockets and the tacking of the trouser hem entirely sewn by hand.

The highest attention to detail goes into every single part of a Made to Measure suit, such as the buttonholes: the detail of excellence. To create them, tailors use antique methods where each buttonhole is created individually, cut one by one directly on the fabric and later hand-finished.
