For tailor shops and suit labels
Suits cut from Italian and English mill cloth, made to measure for your shop from one piece
Your client asks for Zegna, Vitale Barberis Canonico or Loro Piana by name. We cut that cloth to his measurements, build it in the construction you choose and sew your label inside.
The cloth comes from named mills and merchants. The suits are made in our own workshop in Shanghai, China. Prices are per two-piece suit, ex works Shanghai.
Who this is for
For shops that sell on the cloth and on the canvas
Who we make for
- Tailor shops whose clients name the mill before they name the colour.
- Suit labels that sell made to measure under their own name and want mill cloth in the book.
- Travelling tailors and trunk show tailors who measure in person and need a workshop behind them.
- Shops that want to try a new maker with one suit before they commit.
Who this is not for
- People buying one suit for themselves. We sell to businesses only.
- Buyers who need a suit made in Italy. Our suits are made in Shanghai, and the label says so.
- Anyone looking for a mill. We cut and sew mill cloth. We do not weave it.

We ship it
To your shop, or straight to your client's hotel, home or office, anywhere in the world, under your brand name.
The cloth
33 mills and merchants. 26 of them in Europe
Two mill books sit in our Shanghai stock, ready to cut. Everything else we order against a confirmed job.
Loro Piana and Holland & Sherry are special order, as is most of our list. The mill's own lead time comes before our 14 days in production.
We also keep a house book, Corsini LANA Four Seasons: 85 fabrics in 280 g four-season Australian merino, 100% wool.
