Întrebări generale Sir Ludovic

How long does a custom order take?

Our standard delivery time for any custom suit, shirt, or pair of shoes is 4–6 weeks. We also offer an express service, with delivery in 3–4 weeks, for an additional fee.

What exactly does "Made to Measure" (MTM) mean?

The MTM process involves adjusting a digital pattern based on the more than 30 measurement points we take. This offers an exceptional fit, far superior to off-the-rack clothing, in an efficient timeframe.

Do I need an appointment to visit the showroom?

Yes. We work exclusively by appointment to ensure that every client receives the full attention and expertise of our consultant. You can schedule your appointment online using the Calendly system.

What types of fabrics do you use for the suits?

Exclusively 100% natural materials. Our collection includes prestigious fabrics such as wool, silk, mohair, or linen, from renowned mills such as Loro Piana, Ermenegildo Zegna, and Vitale Barberis Canonico.

What is the difference between Made to Measure and Bespoke?

With Made to Measure (MTM), we create a precise digital pattern based on your measurements. With Bespoke, a unique, manual pattern is created. MTM offers the perfect balance between exceptional fit, efficiency, and value.

Do you also make custom products for women?

Absolutely. We apply the same meticulous MTM process to create suits, "Power Suits," and shirts for women that celebrate the uniqueness of every silhouette.

Procesul Made To Measure

Ce înseamnă mai exact "Made to Measure" la Sir Ludovic?

Este un proces de precizie unde pornim de la măsurătorile dumneavoastră detaliate (peste 30 de puncte) pentru a ajusta un tipar digital. Rezultatul este o potrivire care respectă perfect conformația dumneavoastră și garantează confortul.

MTM este același lucru cu Bespoke?

Nu. Procesul MTM este mai eficient. La Bespoke se creează un tipar manual. La MTM, folosim tehnologia pentru a crea un tipar digital bazat pe măsurile dumneavoastră, oferind echilibrul perfect între potrivire, timp de execuție și valoare.

Cât durează o consultație inițială și ce presupune?

O consultație durează de obicei 45 de minute. Vom discuta stilul dorit, veți alege materialele din colecțiile noastre (Loro Piana, Zegna etc.) și vom lua măsurătorile complete.

Câte probe sunt necesare pentru un costum MTM?

În general, procesul MTM necesită o singură probă intermediară, după aproximativ 4-5 săptămâni. Atunci facem ajustările finale de finețe pentru a asigura o potrivire desăvârșită.

Pot personaliza detaliile costumului meu?

Absolut. Aceasta este frumusețea procesului. Puteți personaliza totul: de la revere și nasturi, la tipul de buzunare, culoarea cusăturilor și monograma brodată.

Ce se întâmplă dacă slăbesc sau mă îngraș după ce costumul e gata?

Costumele noastre sunt realizate cu rezerve de material care permit ajustări ulterioare. Oferim servicii de croitorie și modificări pentru a adapta produsele pe măsură ce corpul dumneavoastră se schimbă.

Costumul de ceremonie la comandă

How long before the wedding should I order the groom suit?

We recommend starting the process at least 3–4 months before the event. Although our production time is 4–6 weeks, this lead time allows us time for consultation, fittings, and final adjustments without stress.

What is the difference between the Royal Package and the Elite Package?

Both are comprehensive solutions. The Elite Package offers a superior level of luxury: it includes a premium fabric (wool blend with 25% silk), two Canclini shirts (instead of one), and custom shoes with leather soles.

I don't know what to choose between a tuxedo and a modern suit. Can you help me?

Of course. The classic tuxedo is ideal for a formal, evening wedding. The modern suit (in 3 pieces, colors like burgundy or green) allows for more personality. During the consultation, we will choose the perfect style for your wedding theme.

Can you also create coordinating outfits for the godparents or the father of the groom?

Yes, we specialize in creating a unified vision for the entire wedding party. We can create suits for the godparents and parents that complement the groom's style while respecting the individuality of each person.

Are the ceremonial suit fabrics 100% natural?

Absolutely. For ceremonial wear, we use premium fabrics, ranging from 100% fine wool and velvet, to refined blends of wool with natural silk, ensuring a spectacular look and superior comfort.

How can I schedule a consultation for a groom suit?

You can schedule a "Private Consultation" directly on our Contact page, using the Calendly system. This initial meeting is essential for understanding your vision.

Costumul pentru domni la comandă

What materials do you recommend for a business suit worn frequently?

We recommend 100% Super 120s–130s wool fabrics from mills such as Reda or Vitale Barberis Canonico. These are wrinkle-resistant and retain their shape, making them ideal for daily wear.

How long does a business suit take to make?

The standard turnaround time is 4–6 weeks. If you have an urgent corporate event, we can expedite the process to 3–4 weeks through an express service with an additional fee.

Can I customize the suit to be more functional?

Yes. We can add supplementary interior pockets for your phone, pen, or business cards, optimizing the suit for the modern business environment, as part of the absolute personalization process.

Why is an MTM suit better than an off-the-rack suit for business?

An MTM suit ensures an impeccable image and inspires authority. The perfect fit eliminates unsightly wrinkles and conveys confidence, an essential detail in business meetings.

Do you also make smart-casual jackets?

Yes, in addition to classic business suits, we also create smart-casual jackets, unlined (deconstructed), perfect for a more relaxed business environment or for travel.

How do I start the process for my business wardrobe?

The first step is to schedule a style consultation. We will discuss your needs, establish the core garments, and begin the measuring process.

Does the MTM process work for the feminine silhouette as well?

Absolutely. We apply the same meticulous MTM process, but with measurements and a pattern specifically adapted for the feminine form. The result is a garment that compliments and celebrates the unique silhouette.

What is a custom "Power Suit"?

It is a suit created to exude confidence and authority in the business environment. The tailoring is impeccable, the shoulders are well-defined, and the fit is perfect, providing a powerful and elegant look.

What types of fabrics do you use for women's suits?

We use exclusively 100% natural materials: fine wool, silk, linen, or flowing blends for event ensembles. For shirts, we use 100% Egyptian cotton.

Can I order custom shirts only?

Yes. We create custom women's shirts, personalized from the collar and cuffs down to the cut that highlights your figure.

How can I schedule a consultation?

We invite you to schedule a consultation in our showroom in Bucharest. You can use the Calendly system on our Contact page to book an appointment.

The Custom Shirt

What is the main advantage of an MTM shirt?

The perfect fit, guaranteed. Our process completely eliminates excess material and unsightly wrinkles, offering an impeccable body line, regardless of build.

Why is the Egyptian cotton you use special?

100% Egyptian cotton has longer and finer fibers. This makes the material softer, more durable, and more pleasant to the touch than regular cotton.

How long does a custom shirt take to make?

The delivery time for custom shirts is 4–6 weeks, the same as for suits. We also offer an express service (3–4 weeks) upon request.

Do you use fabrics from well-known brands?

Yes, our shirt fabric collection includes elite mills such as Canclini, Mileta, and Monti, renowned for their exceptional cotton quality.

What can I customize on a custom shirt?

Everything. You can choose the collar type (classic, Italian, "spread"), the style of the cuffs (single or for cufflinks), the internal contrast, the buttons, and, of course, you can add an embroidered monogram.

Is there a minimum order for shirts?

We recommend starting with a minimum package of 2–3 shirts for a versatile business wardrobe, but we are flexible. We invite you for a consultation to discuss your specific needs.

The Custom Shoes

What is unique about your custom shoes?

The fundamental difference is the personalized last. We do not use standard lasts. We construct a unique form based on the precise measurements of your foot, guaranteeing absolute comfort from the first wear.

How long does a pair of shoes take to make?

The artisanal process of creating the shoes on the personalized last takes 4–6 weeks.

What does "full-grain" leather mean?

We use exclusively natural "full-grain" leather. This is the top layer, the most durable and highest quality part of the hide, which develops a beautiful patina over time and allows the foot to breathe.

What shoe styles can I order?

We create a wide range of timeless styles, ranging from classic Oxford shoes (perfect for ceremonial wear) and Derby, to Loafers and boots. You can choose the style, leather type, and color.

Is the foot measuring process complicated?

Not at all. It is a precision process that takes approximately 20–30 minutes, during your showroom consultation. We measure length, width, circumference, and analyze the arch of your foot.

Do you also offer an express service for shoes?

Yes, if you need the shoes for a specific event, we can activate the express service (3–4 weeks) for an additional fee.
