Full suit tailor

Locomotion

Hi,

I'm interested in buying a fully tailored suit and was wondering if there is anywhere in Dublin that sells them and whether anyone would recommend this?


Thanks

You buy a suit off the rack that fits reasonably well then you bring it to the tailors to get it tailored.

Unless you mean a bespoke suit? Which is made to measure your specific measurements and is very expensive.

Yea I mean a bespoke suit. Is there anywhere in Ireland that does that?

It can be done. A very helpful poster who no longer seems to post here gave me a list of them before:

Ronald Johnston Master Tailor
Huntstown Lawn
Clonsilla

Phone 018204378
Mobile 0863531664

Friedhelm Arntz,

Ireland
Tel: 00353 1 4960735

There's also Thomas Wolfangel, Denis Darcy, Jas Fagan, Bogart Tailors & Brendan Kidd of Capel St. These are all in the phone book.

I would make sure to educate yourself on the bespoke process, if you haven't already, before you drop anywhere between 700E and up on a suit.

Ask about their preferred style, fusing/canvas construction, any handsewn items, material used etc.

And if you're paying that type of money, make sure you get true bespoke for that price and not MTM that a lot of places may sell you.

Edit: In my usual Dublin centric-ness I assumed you wanted Dublin, there are a few others outside Dublin too.

There's only one bespoke tailor working in Ireland. He's David Young in Galway. If you want a bespoke suit he's the man to see. However, a real bespoke suit isn't cheap for starters it'll be fully canvased. Fully canvased suits are expensive. A Brooks Brothers fully canvased suit, off the peg, will cost $2100. Young's bespoke suits are cheaper than that. Before you chose bespoke you have to be sure it's a bespoke suit you want and a not a made to measure.

This isn't actually true, there are quite a few bespoke tailors working in Ireland. I know of two personally, one who spent many years on saville row and now works in Dublin.

There isn't a huge demand for such expensive detailed tailored suits therefore many of these talented tailors turn to theatrical/costume work instead, while taking in the odd order of a bespoke suit.

Joseph Martin on Teeling Street Sligo. Think he has a place near the Bagle factory on Baggot Street Lower as well.
