When it comes to bespoke suits in Singapore, precision is everything. A great custom suit doesn’t just look sharp — it fits like a second skin. But as your body changes, even slightly, so should your suit. Which leads to one of the most frequently asked questions at C. Armani Tailors:
“How often should I get re-measured for a bespoke suit?”
The answer depends on your lifestyle, how often you wear suits, and even the seasons. Here’s what you need to know.
1. Re-Measure Every 6 to 12 Months (If You Wear Suits Regularly)
If you wear suits for work or events often — say, at least once or twice a week — we recommend getting measured every 6 to 12 months.
Why?
Even small changes in weight, muscle tone, or posture can affect how your suit drapes. Shoulder width, waist circumference, and sleeve length are especially sensitive to these shifts.
Pro tip: Schedule a quick check-in fitting with your tailor, even if you’re not ordering a new suit. At C. Armani, we offer complimentary re-measurements for returning clients — because we believe consistency is just as important as craftsmanship.
2. Before Major Events (Weddings, Job Interviews, Ceremonies)
For special occasions, don’t leave things to chance. If your last suit fitting was over a year ago, or you’ve been leading a different lifestyle (travel, stress, new workout routines), get re-measured at least 3–4 weeks before your event.
This gives your tailor time to make any necessary adjustments or build you a brand-new suit — something especially important for weddings, where sharp photos last a lifetime.
At C. Armani Tailors, our express service means we can deliver your custom suit in just 3 days — but we still encourage a fitting window to ensure everything is perfect.
3. After Significant Weight Change (5kg or More)
Whether you’ve hit the gym or enjoyed a few too many festive feasts, a change of 5kg or more can noticeably impact how your custom suit fits — especially in the chest, waist, and seat.
Instead of forcing your body into an old silhouette, it’s better to adjust the tailoring to your current form. A small alteration is often all it takes to restore that flawless, made-for-you look.
Not sure if you need to re-measure? Try buttoning your jacket — if it pulls, puckers, or feels restrictive, it’s time to come in.
4. During Seasonal Changes
Singapore might be warm all year, but if you travel often — especially between temperate and tropical climates — your body can subtly fluctuate due to water retention, activity level, and even posture.
If you rotate between seasonal suits (e.g., lighter tropical wool vs. structured winter fabrics), it’s smart to get measured before each switch. This ensures that both styles maintain the same comfort and silhouette, regardless of fabric weight.
5. As You Age, Your Fit May Change (Even Without Gaining Weight)
Men in their 30s, 40s, and beyond often experience gradual shifts in posture, shoulder slope, and core muscle tone. You may weigh the same — but your suit might no longer sit the same.
This is where the advantage of a bespoke tailor in Singapore really shows. Our clients appreciate that we not only track their measurements over time but also understand the nuances of the male physique as it matures.
We don’t just cut suits — we cut suits that evolve with you.
Final Thoughts: Let Your Suit Work With You, Not Against You
The beauty of bespoke tailoring lies in its adaptability. But that only works if you keep your measurements up to date. At C. Armani Tailors, we make it easy — from express re-measuring appointments to long-term client records that evolve with your lifestyle.
Whether it’s been 6 months or 6 years since your last fitting, we invite you to come by for a check-in. Because a tailored suit is only as powerful as the fit it gives you today.
