At Old Jeffrey we have a Human team with more than 80 years of accumulated experience that guarantee impeccable execution along with the use of the highest quality fabrics.

We currently have  3 types of suit:

1. Ready-made suit or Ready to Wear

2. Suit Made to measure

3. Suit Bespoke

1. READY TO WEAR (RTW) SUIT

Our modality Ready to wear It is a collection of ready-made suits with 100% Super S110 wool fabrics from the Italian company Vitale Barberis Canónico; made with a pattern calibrated and perfected by our team of pattern makers. 

In this case, the shoulders of each client are what determine the appropriate size; that is, once the suit model has been selected, we recommend the client the one that fits him/her perfectly around the shoulders. After this step, the garment is adjusted to the client's body measurements so that it fits perfectly.

These are garments with very high quality finishes, such as our notched and spear-point lapels, interlined and non-fused interiors, practicable buttonholes, among many other details that will not go unnoticed.

“READY TO WEAR” MODELS 

We have suit models in both 2-piece and 3-piece formats. To see some of our suit models, click on the following link: Tailoring Suits. We have more models in store that are not available on the web.

RECOMMENDED ADVANCE TIME

We recommend coming to Old Jeffrey at least 2 weeks in advance, as once we have fitted the garment in store, it will take us approximately 1 week to work on it.

After the week of fittings, we make an appointment for a new fitting. If any additional adjustments are required due to the appearance of small wrinkles and in order to "fine-tune" the garment, we would need another week to make the garment perfect.

 

2. MADE TO MEASURE SUIT (MTM)

In the service Made to measure Our tailors take measurements with the help of a suit called a "witness" which we have digitalized in our central computer, and proceed to make the anatomical modifications, modifying that base pattern so that it becomes the exclusive pattern for our client.

In this type of suit, absolutely everything can be customized, the shape and width of the lapels, the model of the pockets, the model of the pants and vest, in addition to choosing all the trimmings, such as the lining, the terry cloth, the buttons and the thread with which said buttons are sewn, as well as embroidering the initials on the inside of the jacket.

“MADE TO MEASURE” OPTIONS

There are endless options within our 2-piece and 3-piece suit types. 

RECOMMENDED ADVANCE TIME

If this option is chosen, we recommend coming to Old Jeffrey 2 months in advance, as it would take 5 weeks to make the garment, and then we will arrange an appointment with the client for the fitting. There is the possibility of shortening times depending on each case and under specific requests (this should be consulted directly with our tailoring team).

Once the garment is made, we use the first fitting to detect any wrinkles. If any adjustments are required, we would need a week to carry them out.

 

3. BESPOKE SUIT

Finally, we present our tailoring line Bespoke, also known as Artisanal Measure. 

In this case, our tailors take anatomical measurements directly from the client and design the suit with the purest details of traditional bespoke tailoring, that is, hand-made buttonholes and perforations, fully interlined interior without any type of glue or fusion, cupro or viscose linings, plain or printed, etc.

After the cutting process, the pieces are assembled using basting and loose stitches and a first test is done, which we call "plumbing"; at this point, we will have the skeleton of the garment - sleeveless in the case of the frock coat and unfinished lengths and widths in the case of trousers and vest.

Once the fitting test has been carried out, it is our turn: we work in the workshop to correct details, add the sleeves and finish the garment. Immediately after, the client is called in for a second fitting test and, if there are any additional small details to be corrected, a third final fitting is carried out before delivering the perfect garment to the client. 

“BESPOKE” OPTIONS

We work with a prior budget that will be evaluated and notified to the client after their information appointment, in which we will know the design and manufacturing requirements required. We have 2-piece and 3-piece formats. 

RECOMMENDED ADVANCE TIME

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, subsequently, we will carry out the manual cutting of the garment.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MADE TO MEASURE AND BESPOKE SERVICES

The difference lies mainly in the tailoring process after the customer's measurements have been taken:

1. Preparation of the pattern after taking the client's measurements. In the case of tailoring Made to measure, to obtain the client's pattern, we use witnesses with a base pattern with respect to which we make corrections and obtain the client's final pattern. While, in the tailoring shop Bespoke, measurements are taken directly and the pattern is obtained manually and is carried out through calculations and generation of curvatures based on tailor's rules.
   
   

2. Cutting of the fabric. For tailoring Made to measure, the pattern obtained for each client is digitalized and the scrap of fabric chosen for the production of the garment is cut very precisely by a cutting machine. While in the service Bespoke, our tailor will cut the garment manually with special tailor's scissors for this purpose.
   
   

3. Garment assembly. In the case of tailoring Made to Measure, our sewing team is made up of 10 people who will carry out the final production of the garment. For this case, each member of the team is specialized in a part of the garment (sleeves, front, etc.) and, finally, the garment is assembled together. In this process, the sewing is mixed (long stitches with a sewing machine and details finished by hand). On the other hand, in the case of artisanal tailoring Bespoke, The entire production will be carried out manually by our specialized tailor.
