INITIAL APPOINTMENT
Your suit. Your character. At Black Market we believe both should match each other. That is why we make sure down to the last detail that everything fits not only your body, but your style as well.
In your hands lays a selection of high-quality options for fabrics, cuts and styling that give you the power to express yourself in the best and unique manner. Tell us what you imagine for yourself and at Black Market we will take care that your style tells your personal story.
Black Market custom tailoring starts at zero and follows your exact body frame, proportions, balance and posture. You participate in the selection of every detail about your suit or shirt – from the specific fabrics and buttons to the cuffs and lining.
During your first appointment our master tailor will take your body measurements and run through the available options for fabrics and details, before he is ready to custom tailor your new suit. The whole process will take approximately one or two more fittings before it’s all done and ready.

Our master tailor sets a goal to get to know you when you first visit the atelier. Here you are met with a glass of our high class drinks and invited to dive into the world of city's best crafted suits.
We work with fixed prices that remain the same throughout the whole process. You order what you like without thinking about the price. You can be rest assured we will use only the best fabrics, textiles and buttons for your new suit, shirt and accessories.
After deciding on the cut and fabric, we proceed with body measurements. Everyone is different – our bodies vary in proportions that have to be taken into account in order to achieve the best cut. It has to hide our weak spots and put the emphasis on our physical strengths.
Accurate and detailed body measurements by our master tailor consist of height, chest, waist and hip circumference, shoulder width, back, sleeves and trousers length.
During the first fitting for some clothes, such as suit jackets and waistcoats, our master tailor makes alterations. The specific garment is once more deconstructed to its basic parts in order to pattern cut the lining. Often, the first fitting comes with further discussions about additional details, while some are scrapped from the initial project.
The final cut and proportions of the garment is selected (length, width, details), while custom tailored three-piece suits need a second fitting in order to test the various alterations after the first.
PIRANDELLO
Anyone can be heroic from time to time, but a gentleman is something you have to be all the time.
We have the best professional equipment in store. That gives us complete freedom in achieving perfect results. Depending on the garment, we use different tools and techniques.
Before ironing and gluing, each fabric is tested on a pre-cut piece of the same cloth in order to assess its effect and whether and how much the fabric will shrink. If the cloth has a high degree of shrinking, it’s glued block by block and cut in order to avoid deformation of the details.
Even with custom tailoring, your body proportions and measurements and weight may vary with time and thus your garments might need different alternations. This means you will always wear clothes that fit and feel comfortable like a second skin.
With our professional help your suit can be transformed or altered after the initial sewing so that it matches your current shape and style preference.
