Made-to-Measure Suits & Jackets
Construction is key when it comes to making you a great suit. At Andréa Kọsta, our custom made suits and jackets ensure you get the perfect fit. We are here to guide you through this journey from start to finish. We create a pattern for you from our house block taking intricate measurements insuring a fit that complements you and your frame. Below listed are the different construction options available for our custom made suits and jackets.
A completely unconstructed (no canvasing) option, great for a summer jacket or lightweight summer suit.
Half canvas incorporates a horsehair canvas chest piece sewn into the front of the jacket, giving a more structured fit that is perfect for a suit to be worn year-round.
Full canvas option adds a canvas not just to the chest but all the way through the front of the jacket, giving a lot more weight and structure to the garment. This construction is particularly recommended for suits that will be worn through the colder months.
A full canvas handmade suit and jacket offering, our most intricate of makings. All the above include handwork to finish the garments off but with our handmade garments all the jacket is finished by hand, from pockets, buttonholes, sleeves, and lining.

What our customers say
"By far the best suits I have ever bought! I was fed up with commuting to London and back every time I wanted a new suit so decided to look at what Liverpool had to offer and there were two that stood out, Andréa Kosta and Signature. After doing some research on both I decided to go with Andréa Kosta and I am glad I did, from start to finish Kostas and Andreas were amazing, their customer interaction was second to none and was by far better than any other suit maker I have experienced. The fit and quality of the materials is excellent and as a result I will order more."

FAQs
What is a Made-To-Measure suit, and how does it differ from Bespoke or Ready-To-Wear suits?
At Andréa Kọsta, we specialise in made-to-measure (MTM) suits. An MTM suit starts with an existing pattern that is adjusted to your measurements and style preferences, ensuring a personalised fit. This process typically includes two fittings to refine the details.
In comparison, a bespoke suit is crafted entirely from scratch, with a unique pattern made exclusively for you. Bespoke tailoring is fully handmade, involves multiple fittings (usually 3–5), and offers the highest level of personalisation.
A ready-to-wear (off-the-peg) suit, on the other hand, is pre-made in standard sizes and allows for only minor alterations.
MTM sits between these options, combining machine precision with hand-finishing techniques to create a suit tailored to you - offering a refined fit without the extended timeline of bespoke.
What is the lead-time for a Made-To-Measure suit or jacket?
Our made-to-measure process typically takes 4–6 weeks from your initial fitting to the second fitting.
If you choose from our house fabrics (available in our factories), the process takes approximately 4 weeks.
If we need to order fabric from our mills, an additional 2 weeks is required.
This timeline allows us to refine the fit and details before your suit is ready for final adjustments.
What measurements are taken for a Made-To-Measure suit?
During your first fitting, we assess your body shape and fit you into one of our pre-made patterns. We then take precise measurements to ensure a tailored fit. Throughout this consultation, we work with you to refine the details, ensuring the suit reflects your personal style and preferences.
What customisation options are available for a Made-To-Measure suit?
With our made-to-measure service, you can personalise every detail to create a suit that reflects your style. Choose from:
Fabrics from leading mills in Britain and Italy, available in a wide range of colours, textures, and weights.
Lapels, pockets, and vents to refine the overall look.
Over 30 button options for a personalised touch.
A selection of linings to add a unique detail inside your suit.
These options ensure your suit is tailored not just to your measurements but to your personal preferences and the occasion.
How many fittings are required?
We require two fittings for a made-to-measure suit.
First fitting: We take your measurements and finalise your style preferences before placing your order.
Second fitting: Once the suit arrives, we assess the fit and make any final adjustments if needed.
In some cases, a third fitting may be necessary if there have been significant changes in weight.
Can I make changes to the suit design after the first fitting?
Yes, design changes can be made within a limited timeframe.
If your order is placed before 15:00 (UK time), you can request changes until 15:00 on the same day.
If your order is placed after 15:00 (UK time), you have 24 hours to make any modifications.
After these windows, the order is processed, and changes are no longer possible.
Does the Made-To-Measure service include alterations if needed?
Yes, when your garment arrives in-store, we schedule a second fitting to assess the fit. If any minor adjustments are required, they can be completed quickly—typically within a day - so your suit is ready to take home without delay.
Are there limitations on customisation options in a Made-To-Measure suit?
Our made-to-measure service offers a wide range of fabrics, styles, and design details, all curated to align with our brand’s identity and craftsmanship standards. While fully bespoke options go beyond our MTM offering, we ensure that every choice available allows you to create a suit that feels distinctly personal and refined.
