FAQS

Why should I buy a tailored suit, instead of an off-the-peg suit?

Just as every human is unique, so too is their physique. It’s not a case of a standardized pattern fitting all (which is exactly what you get when ordering off the peg, even if that suit is from a designer label).

A bespoke tailored suit will be made to complement your measurements exactly. For instance, some gentlemen have one shoulder higher than the other, a right hip that is slightly more prominent than the left, or an old sports injury that results in holding oneself up differently etc. – all of which will be compensated for in the making of a bespoke suit. When you put on a bespoke tailored suit, none of these idiosyncrasies will be evident – your suit will hang perfectly on you, and you alone.

How are you different to other bespoke tailors?

Our tailoring is top tier. That’s a given and should be expected when going for a bespoke suit. The things that set us apart from the rest are our level of service before during and after our tailoring sessions, fabric offerings, custom options and quality. Our quality control process is overseen by a team of 4 specialists, each of whom have over 20 years of experience in bespoke tailoring.

Where are the suits and shirts tailored?

Your suits and shirts are tailored in Hong Kong by skilled craftsmen with over 40 years of experience in bespoke tailored clothing. Quality checks are also meticulously conducted on-site.

Do you tailor for women, too?

Yes – our Womens Suits fabrics are targeted towards the discerning women in the corporate sector who seek businesswear with a contemporary flair. Appointments for our Womens Suits service must be made 8 weeks in advance.

Where do you travel?

We travel primarily to the US and Europe. Our complete list of locations can be found here.

My city is not listed on your locations page – how do we proceed?

At present, we visit select cities in the US and Europe (See Locations) and we are constantly growing our list of cities we visit. Kindly email us on tailoring@senszio.com if your city is not listed. We will do our best to visit you at the earliest.

How can I get in touch?

Email us on tailoring@senszio.com, or use our contact form to get in touch.

How do I schedule an appointment?

If you’ve met us before, our master tailor will always email you a week before he arrives in your city and you may schedule an appointment by replying to the email.

If you’ve not met us before, you can either schedule an appointment on the website or write us an email on tailoring@senszio.com.

Where will the consultation take place?

We are flexible – our master tailor will take your measurements at your office or your home – at your discretion.

What can I expect during a consultation?

Our Stylist can meet you in our hotel suite or at your home or office. If we meet at your office, it would be ideal if a conference room can be arranged.

The appointment lasts for approximately one hour. It is a one-on-one consultation between you and the stylist which emphasizes the personal nature of our service and allows you to have complete control over the process and the conversation.

Initially, the conversation (30-40 minutes) will be about:

• Dressing habits (corporate or casual)
• Work routine (percentage of time spent traveling or indoors or in meetings)
• Whether you’re looking to completely refresh your wardrobe or complement existing items.

We will then show you our fabric collection and give advice on what kind of fabrics will be best for you. We’ll also guide you on how you can customize your garment. For e.g. we help you choose the collar and cuff styles on your shirt or the pocket style on your Suit.

Lastly (15-20 minutes), we’ll take over 30 body measurements and note details about your posture which will help our cutters determine the ideal fit for your physique.

Where are the fabrics from? Do you have a large collection?

Over the last 10 years, we have developed strong relationships with fabric mills in Europe; our collection comprises 3,000 fabrics from 12 mills.

Will I be able to customize various elements of my suit or shirt?

One of the reasons why bespoke tailors stand out is the level of customization offered to an individual so that he can determine his suit from the collar to cuff. A preview of some elements that can be customized is available here: Our Products.

Will you be able to replicate the image of a style that I like?

Yes. We will be able to replicate the styling details of the image or video you have come across.

How can I meet your tailor near my location ?

Our style advisors travel 4 times a year to selected locations in Europe and the US. Please visit Trunk Shows to see the available dates & locations to schedule an appointment.

What if I’m not in one of the countries covered by your Trunk Shows?

We can arrange to have our Style Advisors personally visit your location if there’s a group of 5 or more individuals interested in our services. Please email us on tailoring@senszio.com.

Is the appointment free?

How will I receive my suits or shirts?

Your clothing items will be shipped 6-8 weeks from the date of your order. Every Senszio order is carefully packed in our custom made boxes for protection in our distinct style.

My friend and I ordered a suit/shirt together and he has received it. Why is mine delayed?

Our normal delivery time is 6 to 8 weeks. All orders are processed and undergo a rigorous Quality Control. Some orders are returned back to workshop for amendments; this process takes a few more days. Hence, one can notice a delay sometimes.

What should I do if my order hasn’t been delivered yet?

Please send us an email on tailoring@senszio.com.

Do I need to pay for shipping?

Shipping is free for online orders over US$100. For online orders below US$100, a flat rate of US$20 is charged.

How do I track my deliveries?

If you wish to track your delivery, please send us an email on tailoring@senszio.com and we will email you a tracking number of your order. If your order has not been dispatched, our team will update you with a status and an expected date of delivery.

What payment methods do you accept?

We only accept credit cards payments via American Express, MasterCard and Visa.

What is your price range?

The price of a suit is determined by the quality of tailoring and most importantly, the fabric. Our suits start at USD 675 and shirts at USD 95.

How do I look after my suit?

The basic rules for suit care are:

• Do not dry-clean your suit more than 2 times a year. Finer wool wears out faster.
• Always use a hanger and hang upright
• Use dried lavender leaves and cedar wood hangers
• Rest your suit every other day
• Press your suit rather than dry-cleaning it
• Use a clothes brush and hand steamer for stains

Our tailoring process is one-of-a-kind supervised to the tiniest detail to make sure your hand-crafted quality Bespoke suits are distinct, sharp and noticed.

Can I machine-wash my shirts?

For cotton and linen shirts, it is best to wash them in cold/warm water, and hang to dry. If you tumble dry, use low heat to avoid shrinking. We do not recommend dry cleaning shirts. For more information, please visit the Aftercare section in our blog.

Can I machine-wash my suits and coats?

No. Suits, coats and trousers should be dry cleaned only. For more information, please visit the Aftercare section in our blog.

What should I do if I have some issues with the fit of the clothing and need alterations?

We have a network of local tailors in your city that could take care of minor alterations. Alternatively, you could mail us your clothing through FedEx at our cost.

However, our incidence of having to make alterations are extremely rare and often due to the change in size of our customers. If you are not satisfied with the order, we will do our absolute best to ensure that the fit is right and that you’re happy with the garment.

How long does an alteration take?

The alteration process takes a minimum of 2 weeks.

Do you accept returns or refunds?
