Breaking the Mould: Why More Women Are Choosing MTM Tailoring
It’s increasingly the case that when a client visits our Sydney showroom looking for a tailored suit, they’ve got one thing front of mind: versatility. As dress codes get more and more relaxed, people are looking for tailored garments that can be worn to a range of events - whether it be for work or pleasure - and that can also be worn year round. Here, we give you the Oscar Hunt breakdown of how we cater for all of the above through our versatile suit offering in Sydney.
Flexible pieces
One of our key points of difference is that we bring a distinctly Australian sensibility to suiting. This ultimately combines all the best of the British and Italian schools of tailoring alongside a clear understanding of the Australian lifestyle. As a result, our suits have flexibility at their core in terms of the way that they can be worn.
Working with our team of expert fitters, we can add details that more easily allow you to wear a custom suit as separates. For example, the addition of patch pockets to a jacket - while still working nicely as a two-piece - lends itself to also being worn as a blazer over chinos and jeans. In a similar vein, opting for a waistband detail like tabs (over belt loops) also helps your trousers stand on their own.
Transeasonal fabric
Thanks to our temperate climate, we offer a range of all-season suits that ensure comfort and style year round. The craft here comes in selecting the correct fabric. When you first visit the showroom for a consultation, our team will ask you a range of questions about where and how you plan to wear your garment which then helps inform the fabrics that they curate for you to choose from.
For the ultimate all-rounder, we can’t go past wool. Somewhat of a miracle fibre, it draws moisture away from the body during the warmer months, keeping you cool, while also acting as insulation from the cold over Winter. This being the case, it truly does make for the ideal custom suit for all seasons.
Timeless design
One of the things that we take into deep consideration at Oscar Hunt during the design process is how long lasting our styles will be. While we do make tweaks from season to season, we purposefully create garments that can be worn for years to come and ultimately form part of a capsule wardrobe that can be built upon over time.
As a wearer, this allows you to update with seasonal suit tailoring as needed while still using earlier pieces. For example, you might opt for a new pair of chinos but then pair it with a blazer that you’ve had for years.
