2018 delivery calendar

Flexibility is a wonderful advantage and benefit, especially in matters bespoke. 

But it does create greater complexity and this is one of our key challenges as a tailoring brand offering even more flexibility than is usually found among bespoke shops. 

Below is a calendar-based guide to help navigate how and when to place an order with Sicilian Reserve. It lays out the different options and timetable for new and returning customers. 

For those supplying their own cloth, please check out our guidelines on cloth length and sourcing your own cloth. 

For new customers, please consult our guidelines for initial consultations. If you are new to fittings, we also recommend reviewing our description of the fitting process and our fall 2017 fittings. 

Still have questions? Feel free to reach out to us at contact@sicilianreserve.com. 

Preparing for our first meeting - measurements

Our first meeting will take approximately an hour with the following agenda: 

1. Take key measurements and photos for the tailor to draft a pattern
2. Receive and check your cloth for sufficient length and detect and mark any irregularities for the tailor
3. Confirm key features of your order
4. Receive a bespoke garment to re-create (if applicable)

To maximize our time together, we suggest the following: 

1. Wear your best fitting shirt, ideally MTM or bespoke, that represents the type of shirt you’ll wear with the jacket you’ve ordered
2. Bring or wear your best fitting jacket
3. Consider bringing a backup cloth in the unlikely scenario that your cloth is defective or insufficient length

We know that quite a few MTM brands allow you to take your own measurements. Unfortunately, we have looked at this option and believe it introduces too much noise and imprecision into a critical part of the bespoke process.
