Fitting Notes

A measurement is a fact. A posture is a story. The maison's tailors take both, but they trust the second. A man who carries his weight in his heels needs a different jacket from a man of identical measurements who leans into a room.

This is why a Watson Glow fitting begins with a walk — across the salon, twice, while the tailor watches and says nothing. The chalk comes out afterwards. Suits are then cut with what the workshop calls quiet allowance: room to move that is invisible in a mirror.

Complimentary alteration is offered on all suiting, for life. A suit is not finished when it is bought, the tailors say. It is finished when it is worn in.
