1. READY TO WEAR (RTW) MORNING JACKET
WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF AND WHAT OPTIONS OF JACKET DO YOU HAVE IN STORE?
Collection of morning suits made with 100% Super S110's wool fabrics from the Italian house Vitale Barberis Canónico; made with a calibrated pattern perfected by our team of pattern makers. In this case, it would be the shoulders of each client that define the appropriate size for each one; In other words, once the morning suit model has been selected, we would try on different sizes for the customer and we would recommend the one that would fit the shoulders perfectly. Once the correct size has been chosen, the garment would be adjusted to the client's body measurements so that it would fit perfectly.
These are garments with very high quality finishes, such as our notch and spear point lapels, interfacing and non-fused interiors, practicable buttonholes, among many other details that will not go unnoticed.
As an additional important detail to emphasize, The repairs and repairs that are required are included in the price and we do them in our own workshop, we do not outsource.
WHAT MODELS OF MADE-UP MAIL DO YOU HAVE AND WHAT IS THEIR PRICE?
We have 3 permanent models morning suits within our collection; these are:
- Medium Gray Morning Suit 3 Pieces (frock coat + vest + pants - all in medium gray color). There are usually 3 shades of gray: charcoal gray, medium gray and light gray. Charcoal gray is recommended only for evening weddings, light gray is recommended only for day weddings, while medium gray is suitable, by protocol, for both day and night weddings - this is precisely the which is why we offer the medium gray, very nice. The price of this morning suit option would be €869,95 with garment adjustments included.
- Navy Blue Morning Suit 3 Pieces (frock coat + vest + pants - all in navy blue). Increasingly widespread option. The navy blue morning suit has been gaining ground over the classic morning suit and is a very successful option for both grooms and witnesses. The price of this morning suit option would be €869,95 with garment adjustments included.
-
Classic 2 Piece Morning Suit (black frock coat + striped gray pants). In this case, the vest is not included since, for this type of cutaway, the vest combinations selected by customers are many and varied. The price of this morning suit option would be €769,95 with adjustments included.
In addition, and in a variable way each season, we make new morning suit models different from those of our permanent collection - that is, morning suits with herringbone fabric, with Prince of Wales fabric, etc. To check the availability of these models you can write to us at contact@oldjeffrey.com.
HOW MUCH IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO GO TO OLD JEFFREY IF I CHOOSE THIS TYPE OF JACKET?
If this is the selected option, we would recommend coming to Old Jeffrey at least 3 weeks in advance, since once we have adjusted the garment in store it would take us approximately 1 week to work on it.
After the week of arrangements, we would make an appointment to try on the morning suit. If any additional adjustment is required due to the appearance of small wrinkles and in order to "fine tune" the garment, we would need an additional week to leave the garment perfect.
In general, for this type of morning suit, a single test is almost always enough, however, we always recommend coming to see us with that extra time in case any additional adjustment is needed.
2. MADE TO ORDER (MTO) JACKET
WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF?
In this case, we want to introduce a new intermediate service between clothing and custom tailoring and that we think may be interesting.
That is, based on the pattern of our tailor-made morning suits (RTW), we give the option of making a new morning suit from scratch but, in this case, choosing any fabric from among the more than 3.000 available that we put at your disposal from the most renowned Italian and English houses. It is an ideal service for:
- Clients to whom our tailoring pattern fits but, however, looking to choose a specific combination of fabrics with which to make your new morning coat.
- Customers with marked difference in size between the frock coat and the pantsno. In this case, they could request the preparation of the coat and pants independently and in the appropriate size.
At the same time, as it is a morning suit that is made from scratch and to order, it is possible to choose details related to the mime's design, that is, such as mother-of-pearl or horn buttons, a different lining, embroidering your initials on the inside American or frock coat, etc.
Once the ready-made morning suit is received, the test process is the same as in the previous case, it is sent to our own workshop to make it perfect and, obviously, at no additional cost.
The casuistry of said process would be the following:
- Pattern test and size detection. We would summon him in our tailor shop to try on our pattern and, based on this, we would detect his size, separately, both for the frock coat, pants and vest. Based on said sizing, we would define the adjustments to be made on the pattern and, based on these, we would make a new morning suit from scratch for you.
- fabric selection. In this case, it would be the fabric that would mark the final RRP of the morning suit. In this case, we have a large number of fabric references in store.
WHAT MTO JACKET OPTIONS DO I HAVE AND WHAT IS THE PRICE?
There are countless options! Regarding the price of the made-to-measure morning coats, and as we have had the opportunity to comment in the previous point, it would be approximately €1150 for the morning coat in 2-piece format (frock coat + pants) and €1400 for the morning suit in 3-piece format (frock coat + pants + vest)
HOW MUCH IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO GO TO OLD JEFFREY IF I CHOOSE THIS TYPE OF JACKET?
If this is the selected option, we would recommend coming to Old Jeffrey 2 months in advance, since it would take us 5 weeks to make the garment from scratch and, once made, we would make an appointment at Old Jeffrey to try it on. There is the possibility of shortening the times depending on each case and under specific requests - in this case, you would have the opportunity to discuss it directly with our tailoring team.
In any case, we always recommend If possible, organize the process at least 2 months in advance in order to ensure that you go more calmly and, above all, enjoy the process.
Once the garment is made, we would use the first test to detect, if any, any wrinkles or, on the contrary, if the garment was perfect. If any adjustment is required due to the appearance of small wrinkles and with the aim of "tuning" the garment, we would need a week of rigor to carry out the adjustments.
In general, a single "batch" of adjustments will almost always suffice, however we always recommend coming in with that extra time in case any additional adjustments are needed.
3. MADE TO MEASURE (MTM) MORNING JACKET
We move forward with our custom tailoring service Made to measure, where our tailors will take the measurements with the help of a morning suit called "witness" which we have digitized in our central computer and we will proceed to make the anatomical modifications, modifying that base pattern so that it becomes the exclusive pattern of our client.
In this type of morning suit, you can customize absolutely everything, the shape and width of the lapels, the pattern of the pockets, the model of pants and vest, in addition to choosing all the trimmings, such as the lining, the felpic, the buttons. and the thread with which said buttons are sewn as well as embroidering the initials on the inside of the frock coat.
WHAT MTM JACKET OPTIONS DO I HAVE AND WHAT IS THE PRICE?There are countless options! Regarding the price of the made-to-measure morning coats, and as we have had the opportunity to comment in the previous point, it would be approximately €1450 for the morning coat in 2-piece format (frock coat + pants) and €1800 for the morning suit in 3-piece format (frock coat + pants + vest)
HOW MUCH IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO GO TO OLD JEFFREY IF I CHOOSE THIS TYPE OF JACKET?
Same as Made to Order (MTO) jacket.
4. BESPOKE JACKET
As a final rank, we are proud to have our tailoring line Bespoke, Also known as Craft measure.
In this case, our tailors would take anatomical measurements directly from the client and design the morning suit with the purest details of traditional tailoring, that is, hand-made buttonholes and notches, fully interlining inside without any type of glue or fusion, cupro or viscose linings, plain or printed, etc.
For this type of tailoring we require at least 3 months to have the garments finished since, once we take the measurements, we will manually design the client's pattern in our workshop and, later, we will carry out the manual cutting of the garment.
After the cutting process, the assembly of the pieces will be carried out by means of basting and loose stitches and a first test that we call "of aplombs" will be made; At this point, we will have the skeleton of the garment - sleeveless in the case of the frock coat and without finishing the lengths and widths in the case of the pants and the vest.
Once the "poise" test has been carried out, it is our turn: we will work in the workshop in order to correct details, incorporate the sleeves and finish making the garment.
Immediately afterwards, the client would be summoned for a second "tuning" test and, in the event that there were any small additional details to be corrected, a third definitive test would be carried out before delivering the perfect garment to the client.
WHAT BESPOKE SUIT OPTIONS DO I HAVE AND WHAT IS THE PRICE?
In this particular case we work under a prior budget that will be evaluated and notified to the client after their informative appointment in which they tell us what design and manufacturing requirements they are looking for. In any case, the price for this type of 3-piece garment made 100% handmade is from €4350.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MADE TO MEASURE SERVICE AND BESPOKE?
The difference between both methodologies lies, mainly, in the preparation process after taking the client's measurements; We explain it below.
- Preparation of the pattern after taking the client's measurements. In the case of Made to Measure tailoring, to obtain the client's pattern, we use witnesses with a base pattern from which we make corrections and obtain the client's final pattern. On the other hand, in the Bespoke tailoring service, taking measurements is direct and obtaining the pattern is manual and is carried out through calculations and generation of curvatures based on tailor's rules.
-
Cutting of the fabric. For the Made to Measure tailoring case, the pattern obtained for each client is digitized and the scrap of fabric chosen to make the garment is cut very precisely by a cutting machine. On the contrary, in the Bespoke service, our tailor will cut the garment manually with special tailor's scissors for this purpose.
- Garment assembly. In the case of Made To Measure tailoring, our sewing team is made up of 10 people who will carry out the final preparation of the garment. For this case, each member of the team will specialize in a part of the garment (sleeves, front, etc.) and, ultimately, the garment is assembled together. In this process, the sewing will be carried out in a mixed way, that is, long stitches with a sewing machine and details finished by hand. On the other hand, in the case of artisanal tailoring (Bespoke), the complete tailoring will be carried out manually by our specialized tailor.
