The Bespoke Suit - by Dalbiondo Tailoring

Joy, pride, confidence. All things I feel when I slip into my new bespoke suit from Dalbiondo Tailoring. No other suit feels as exquisite as this masterpiece of textile processing. I would like to take you on a journey through the creation of my new favourite suit.

The Show Room in Geneva

In the middle of the lively city of Geneva hides an oasis of men’s fashion. Discreetly located in a courtyard is the studio of Luca – the man behind Dalbiondo Tailoring. Luca’s friendly manner made me feel at home immediately and I knew straight away that I had found the right man for my tailor-made suit. After a short period of getting to know each other, the first step towards a bespoke suit can begin – the fabric.

Finest and Exclusive Fabrics

If you now think choosing your child’s name was a challenge, you have never seen Luca’s range of fabrics. From colourful linen fabrics to fancy patterns to classic business textiles in a variety of material compositions. No matter what, Luca’s got it. His passion for perfection is reflected in his offer. For the production of the suits he solely uses exclusive and qualitative fabrics. Over the years Luca has established excellent contacts to manufacturers. No wonder that his fabric collection includes famous names like Loro Piana or Holland & Sherry.

The selection of only one fabric was an enormous challenge for me. I would have loved to leave Dalbiondo’s Show Room with 10 new suits. With the help of Luca’s professional advice, the selection could be reduced to 5 fabrics. After another 20 minutes of headaches, I finally decided to go for white fabric with slightly thicker pinstripes. The colour of the fabric combined with the composition of silk and linen make this the perfect choice for the summer.

Customizing Options

As soon as the folders with the fabric samples were cleared away, Luca brought the next folders on the table. Now it’s all about customizing. Here, Dalbiondo Tailoring offers all imaginable possibilities. Together with the professional support of Luca, we put the finishing touches on my suit. This includes, among others, the choice of buttons, the lining or stylistic details like the type of lapel. The best thing about it: Extras don’t cost extra. Whether one more pocket here or a few more buttons there, the price remains the same.

The Measurements

After my hard work I have now earned some rest and the master is getting his turn. Exactly, it’s all about measuring. Luca’s trained eye will now ensure that my tailor-made suit will fit my body like a glove. Luca will also pay attention to anatomical details such as minimally different leg lengths.

After all the measurements have been recorded, I say goodbye to Luca. Now we’ll have to wait until the masterpiece is ready.

The Fitting

Less than five weeks later I receive the message that my suit is ready for fitting. I can hardly wait to slip into my new suit and take the earliest possible appointment.

During my first stay at Dalbiondo Tailoring, I already had a concrete idea of how my suit would look like, but the sight in the mirror overwhelmed me. The noble two-piece suit is simply perfect. The cut, the fit, the appearance, everything in harmony.
