Why buy a suit off the rack when you can have a better one made to exactly fi t you?

According to Oscar Hunt tailors’ founder and general manager Chris Edwards, a made- to-measure suit ticks all the boxes: fabric quality; style; construction; timelessness and fi t. In short, it’s about value for money. “Why would you buy a high-end brand suit off the rack when you can pay less for a better one made just for you?” Mr Edwards asks. “Th ese days, it is a myth that tailor-made suits are unaff ordable,” he said. “If you need a suit to really perform for you, you are very unlikely to fi nd it hanging on a rack, no matter who’s name is on the inside.” “If you put a premium on performance, that’s when you need made-to-measure.” Operating from elegant show and fi tting rooms in Hardware Lane, shopping for a suit at Oscar Hunt is a pleasure. “I wanted to off er that wonderfully old-world “I noticed the diffi culties in operating as a men who wish to step up their style and gain Th e business qualifi es as one of Melbourne’s service of made-to-measure tailoring at an bespoke tailor in Australia and realised the access to the custom-made experience. accessible price point,” Mr Edwards said. “It's future of suiting is in the high quality and hidden secrets and Hardware Lane is an From initial appointment to the fi nal product, our aim to make every suit purchasing more aff ordable made-to-measure,” he said. appropriate home to the fascinating craft a tailored suit takes six weeks to produce, and that is made-to-measure suiting. experience a truly remarkable one.” And it wasn’t just this that inspired him.
