Perth’s Guide to Custom Tailoring: Why Custom Suits Are a Must in 2025

We’re the first to recognise that shopping for a suit can be a stressful experience: Where do you start? Why can you never find your size? How do you know if it’s worth the money? Questions abound, often with very few clear answers. 

And this is where Oscar Hunt and the world of made-to-measure tailoring come into play. Offering a personalised solution that, dare we say, even makes the shopping experience enjoyable, we pride ourselves on offering custom suits in Perth that are a cut above the rest.

Here, we explain why that’s the case and what you can expect from an experience at our Perth showroom. 

What’s the difference between custom and off-the-rack? 

Let’s start with the fundamentals. Custom tailoring in Perth is very different from off-the-rack retail shopping. For one, everything that you purchase from Oscar Hunt Perth is made-to-measure which means that it’s crafted based on your individual measurements and taste. 

To do this, our team alters the pattern of clothing to ensure that it’s a perfect fit for you, harnessing the power of expert tailors to bring the garment to life. 

The other key point of difference (and why we unabashedly believe we’re the best custom suit tailors in Perth) is that we offer a carte blanche when it comes to style, fabric and colour. All of this can be customized based on what you want from your suit. 

What’s the process? 

It all kicks off with a one-on-one 45 minute appointment with a dedicated fitter who will spend the time getting to know you and exactly what you’re looking for. Whether it’s a wedding suit for an event in Perth or something altogether different, they’ll use this conversation to inform a brief. 

From here, the fitter will take dozens of personalized measurements that will ultimately be used to craft your finished garment. As part of this process, they’ll consult on the kind of fit you’d like and any styling details that are particularly important to you. 

Around 4 weeks later, we’ll invite you back into the showroom to try on the garment for the first time. From here, there will be one or two tweaks to be made before you can take your suit home a week later.
