Tailors Made Suits will not disclose an individual customer’s measurements to the customer or to third parties, except as required by applicable law or with the customer’s express consent, or as necessary to fulfill the tailoring services (e.g., when sharing with production partners under confidentiality). The Customer acknowledges that sharing or transmitting their measurements with third-party clothing manufacturers or other external service providers is done at the Customer’s own risk.

Some premium materials will take 2 weeks extra on top, to order, which we will confirm with you upfront. Peak demand normally would be between August through to February.

For such orders, delivery for first fitting will be achievable within 3 weeks (occasionally 2 weeks depending on our production cycle).

- Customer confirmation: If you have specific color concerns, please contact us before production begins so we can provide color guidance, samples, or proofs.
- Color proofing: We may offer physical swatches or digital proofs to assist in selection. Final fabric color will reflect the normal variance described above.
- Remedies: Minor color differences within the normal variance are not considered defects. Refunds or replacements based solely on color variance are not provided, except where a defect falls under our general terms.
- Representation: Colors shown in digital formats may not perfectly match the actual fabric due to screen settings and lighting. We recommend reviewing physical samples where possible.

Tailoring Specific Terms:
- Measurements, Fit and Alterations:
- The final measurements of each garment will be adjusted to the fit selected by the Customer (loose, regular, or slim).
- There may be a slight variance from the stated measurements of up to 2 cm due to handmade production. The Customer acknowledges that each suit ordered, including multiple suits from the same purchase, may not be identical.
- The Customer should specify alteration requirements at the time of alteration. To achieve the best possible fit, the Customer is encouraged to bring a reference suit or clearly describe the preferred fit, so Tailors Made Suits can base the alterations on that guidance. While we will strive to replicate the desired fit, exact replication cannot be guaranteed.
- Customer-Provided Measurements: If the Customer elects to provide their own measurements or have measurements taken by a third party, Tailors Made Suits cannot guarantee the fit of the garments. The Customer may request measurement instructions from Tailors Made Suits to assist in obtaining accurate measurements. Following these instructions is recommended to reduce the risk of ill fit but does not guarantee a perfect fit.
- Alterations:
- Bespoke products include multiple fittings as part of the service. Most customers require one fitting and may take the garments home on the same day. If further adjustments are needed, they will be made without extra charge unless you change your size or alter the design.
- Simple alterations can be performed in Auckland and completed within one week.
- Alterations that require sending the garment back to our factory will take approximately 3–4 weeks to complete, including cases where a component of the garment needs replacing.
- If you are outside Auckland, the process may take longer. You may wait for our next trunk show or arrange a Zoom consultation to review online what needs adjusting.
- The Customer is responsible for sending garments to Tailors Made Suits for alterations. Tailors Made Suits will cover postage to return the altered garments to the Customer.
- We will alter our own garments within 3 weeks from the day you receive them, unless another arrangement is made with us.
- Multiple orders:
- Initial item and fit verification: For new customers ordering more than one of the same item (e.g., two shirts), Tailors Made Suits will typically produce the first item first to ensure a proper fit. The customer will have the opportunity to approve the fit before we proceed with additional items.
- Production of remaining items: We will endeavour to expedite the production of the remaining items where possible, but this is not guaranteed.
- Bring your own materials: yes it is possible, but please refer to our FAQ.
- Payment terms:
- Individual orders: A 70% deposit is payable at the time the order is confirmed by the Customer. The remaining balance is due four weeks after order confirmation (for accounting purposes). In Auckland, the balance may be paid at pickup from our showrooms if pickup occurs within the approved timeframe. For customers outside Auckland, the remaining balance must be paid online prior to dispatch from the head office.
- Tailoring with Wedding Group Discount: Full payment is required at the time the order is confirmed by the Customer. A single invoice will be issued for each group order (e.g., wedding party), covering all items and services included in that group order.
- Return and refund policy: Generally not offered for fully tailored garments. If alterations are needed to achieve the correct fit, please refer to our Alteration Conditions for how these will be managed and charged.

- Size trials: You may try from available sizes to ensure the best fit.
