Product & Customizations
Including customizations, fabrics and styling.
What are Vents?
- A suit vent is a vertical slit that extends upward from the bottom hem on the backside of a suit jacket or blazer. This is to allow for more movement and freedom around the hip area of the jacket while walking or sitting.
What Lapel Should I Choose?
- Our comprehensive selection of lapels features all sorts of shapes and sizes. The lapel is one of the core customizations that affect the jacket’s appearance, so it’s important to know which style you’re looking for.
Can I copy customizations from my old suit onto my new order?
- At this time, there is no immediate or direct way of ‘copy and pasting’ previous customizations to a new order.
Do the customizations cost extra?
- Not at all—all customizations are on the house.
What fabric weight should I choose?
- Fabric weight is how heavy the fabric of the garment is, and is measured in grams per square meter (GSM).
What is a Super Rating?
- A Super Rating refers to the fineness of yarn used to weave the fabric. The higher the Super Rating the finer the yarn that makes up the fabric. Our luxury line of fabrics often has higher Super Ratings (up to 150). This makes the hand feel of the fabrics softer and smoother and can create a slight sheen to the fabric overall. Due to the nature of the finer fiber, fabric with a higher super number can be slightly less durable meaning we wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for your everyday work suits.

What is the difference between Made-To-Measure and Bespoke?
- Bespoke suiting is a fully custom process where a one-of-a-kind garment is made by a tailor that you work with directly. The whole process usually involves multiple appointments and takes months to complete. It is very labour intensive—and often very expensive.
- We produce made to measure (or MTM) garments. Our MTM garments are custom-made based on measurements provided either by the customer, or taken by staff at one of our showrooms. Our showroom staff then makes adjustments to a base pattern at the showroom. If you measure at home, those measurements are put through an algorithm that does something similar to our base pattern.
Do You Provide Rental Garments?
- We do not currently provide rental garments for special events or important dates. At Andre Emilio, we provide made to measure garments that fit your unique measurements, with personally chosen touches to fit your style, too.
Do you make clothing for women?
- The short answer is yes, we are able to make clothing for women. That being said, our patterning process is primarily designed to flatter the male silhouette. So although we are able to, significant adjustments to the primary pattern are usually necessary to ensure the perfect fit.
We advise that female customers go to our showrooms to get fitted, as this way we have more control over the fit of the garments. We also recommend allowing for additional time with the order and associated fit journey in case additional rounds of adjustment are needed.
How do I know what style is best for me?
- If you’re not sure what style you’re after, we’re here to help. Try reaching out to our Customer Experience team so they can chat with you about what you’re after.
Alternatively, if you’ve booked an appointment at one of our showrooms, our Style Guides are both full of valuable style knowledge—and happy to share it.
Can I feel the fabric swatches before I order?
- Yes, but you have must place and order to get the swatch book

Do you make suits for children?
- As a general rule, we try to avoid creating clothing for customers under the age of 18. This is because, since children are not done growing, their measurements and Fit Profiles can often change or become disrupted.
Can I order a suit jacket on its own?
- You absolutely can. If the product you’re looking for isn’t online, simply get in touch with our Customer Experience Team to help sort out your purchase with you.
Can I make my two-piece suit into a three-piece?
- You absolutely can.
Do your tuxedos come with satin trim?
- Yes, our classic tuxedo and dinner jackets have satin trim as is traditional with black-tie formalwear.
Do you make tailcoats or morning suits?
