Five Step Process
The beginning of your sartorial journey starts with that all-important first consultation A meeting will be set with Brandon J at his workshop in Connecticut or at a location nearby of your choosing. There is an upfront travel fee depending on location. Together we will discuss your wardrobe, style, lifestyle and what your overall expectations are when selecting a Bespoke suit. With thousands of cloths to choose from, we will help you narrow down your choices to a select few. Next, we will take your measurements, study your figure and make that first cut in your unique oak tag pattern. This is where a three dimensional understanding of your unique physical idiosyncrasies start to take shape.
Pocket Baste Construction All patterns and cloths are cut by our master tailor, Brandon J. Council, in his workshop. Not leaving anything to chance, Brandon J. ensures that every garment to leave his sight is a true representation of what he and his brand, The Maine Attraction, are trying to achieve.
The First Fitting Within three weeks of the first consultation, you will be invited back for your first pocket baste fitting. This first step is all about posture and balance. We need to be sure of the hang of the suit before preceding with fit and form. Detailed notes, photos and recordings are taken of each session for quality assurance purposes. After each fitting, the garments return to The Maine Attraction for the rip and remark.
The Second Fitting After three weeks in Brandon’s workshop, the suit is ready for its second fitting. The garment is now close to the finishing stage. The finishing stitches such as buttonholes and edge stitching are added during this process.
Final Alterations & Finishing Stitches. The final alterations and finishing are done at The Maine Attraction. The garments are checked over to ensure the highest possible quality is achieved. The buttonholes are sewn in by hand and the whole garment is pressed off and buttoned by Brandon at The Maine Attraction.
