If you know what you want, Seville Tailors can do it for you. If your not sure, or, don know at all, Pat Cocco, Master Tailor and owner of Seville is happy to help.
So I just picked up my newest bespoke suit from Seville Tailors and it's exactly what I asked for. The shell ( exterior ) is made by Dormeuil and is a 50/50 silk/cashmere blend. I found it and purchased on the internet ( $4800cdn tax and shipping included ). The lining of the jacket is two different pieces of 100% silk I found and purchased on the internet ( $500 ). I also found and bought the buttons. Then I gave all this material to Seville with my design plan (collar and lapel, button pattern, pocket type ) , but specially the orientation of the shell material. They not only cut it sideways for me, they cut it so that a particular edge would be the top, just like I wanted. It's sure is hard to complain when you get exactly what you ask for. Granted I knew what I wanted having had suits made to my designs before, both at Seville Tailors and other tailors in Vancouver and Burnaby.
Now you don't have to provide your own material or design. He has material in stock and swatch books for you to choose from. When you're placing your order Pat has a check list of design options, you just pick what you like, and if you have any special requests you can add them. For instance, I asked for an extra inside pocket in the jacket, but no extra pockets inside of the pants pockets.
Also be prepared for what might look like a mess. Keep in mind the Burnaby store is the factory so there is material everywhere. Cut, uncut, half cut, half sown, bits of thread, scissors and pins and marking chalk, etc. Look at it this way, you know how messy your kitchen is when your in the middle or preparing a 6 course meal, well, they're in the middle of preparing 10 suits and 5 jackets and 10 pants and 5 shirts and 5 overcoats, and wedding dresses and skirts and blouses and police uniforms and military uniforms etc, etc, etc, everyday, all day long.
All together now I've had 4 suits made by Seville Tailors, each different in style, each with unique features specific to that suit ( two are sideways, one is inside-out ), all to my design and each one has turned out fantastic. Pat also made me a (special event) white dinner jacket, 100% silk with 100%silk lining, to my design including orientation of the materials' pattern and it is a knock-out. 3 pairs of matching pants, just of different colours. 1 shirt but only because I can't find material with patterns I want. And he's done alterations of suits and coats for me. I have off the rack stuff too but I hardly ever wear them.
I strongly recommend Seville Tailors, gave it 4 out of 5 stars because nobody believes 5 out of 5. Realistically the 5th star is yours to earn. If you want custom work you need to do your research and know what you want, and ask for what you want. Me I got exactly what I asked for, he even made the changes I asked for half way through the build. Want to see pics of any of these with a detailed description of the design features, my e-mail addy is at the top of this review.
