The Experience
The Heimie's Custom Suiting Experience
A custom suit at Heimie's Haberdashery begins with the fitting, but the experience is bigger than the garment. Step into a working haberdashery, settle in, choose your cloth, and take your time. It's the way we've approached a good suit for four generations.
☞ Made to measure. Cut to your exact body, whatever your shape, size, or preferred silhouette.
☞ Every detail, your choice. Lapel, lining, buttons, and pockets, chosen one at a time.
☞ Exceptional cloth. Wools, silks, linens, and bamboo from the finest mills in the world.
☞ Options for every budget. From our Heimie's-made house suit to Italian cloth.
☞ Cut to wear again. Built to outlast the occasion and earn a permanent place in your closet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions and Answers
How much does a custom suit cost at Heimie's?
Price depends on the cloth, construction, and details you choose. We offer custom suits at several levels, from our Heimie's-made house suit to Italian fabrics. Your designer will walk you through every option, with prices, at your consultation.
What are the cost factors of a custom tailored suit?
Cloth is the biggest factor: a house wool costs less than Italian wool or Harris Tweed. Construction, the number of pieces (two-piece, three-piece, or tuxedo), and details like linings and buttons also affect the price. We price every choice before you commit.
How long does it take to make a custom designed suit?
Plan on about 6–8 weeks from consultation to pickup. After you choose your cloth and style, your suit is constructed, then fitted once or twice to finalize the fit. For weddings and big events, we recommend booking three to six months ahead.
What if I need a tailored suit faster than that?
Call us regardless of your date, and we'll tell you plainly what's realistic. If custom can't be ready in time, our Heimie's-made ready-to-wear suits are designed in-house in limited runs and can be tailored in our shop.
Who do Heimie's designers make custom suits for?
Everyone. We fit men, women, and non-binary clients of every shape and size, from first-time suit buyers to clients who have shopped with us for decades. If off-the-rack has never fit you, made-to-measure is exactly what we're here for.
Do you dress people who identify as trans or non-binary?
Yes, and we're proud to. A custom suit can be cut to create the silhouette you want, whether that's stronger shoulders, a cleaner line through the chest, or a tailored waist. Your designer works from your measurements and your vision, never assumptions.
Is a Heimie's suit bespoke or made-to-measure?
Our suits are made-to-measure: each is built from a pattern adjusted to your exact measurements, then refined in person at your fittings. Traditional bespoke drafts a new pattern from scratch. Made-to-measure gives you a personal fit and full control of the details, in less time and at a more accessible price.
Does Heimie's make custom wedding suits?
Yes. We make custom wedding suits and tuxedos for grooms, brides, wedding parties, and parents of the couple. Visit our custom wedding suits page to start planning your party's look.
Do you accept walk-ins?
We're a by-appointment custom house, but walk-ins are always welcome to meet our team, browse the shop, and book a consultation. For the full custom experience, request an appointment ahead so a designer can set aside time for you.
