Body to Suit: The Garment Should Fit the Person
We do not ask the body to conform to a standard suit. We design the garment around the person.
The Philosophy of Master Tailor Jin Lee
More Than a Size
A Size Describes a Chart, Not a Person
Many people have been told a garment fits because it is their size. But a size only describes where you fall on a chart of average proportions.
At Lee’s Custom Tailoring, the starting point is you: your proportions, your posture, how you move, how you will wear the garment, and your personal style.
- Balance — how the garment hangs front to back and side to side
- Proportion — lengths and widths considered in relation to each other and to you
- Posture — the way you naturally stand and carry your shoulders
- Comfort — ease that lets the garment feel natural through the day
- Movement — how you sit, reach, and walk in it
- Individual style — cut, cloth, and details that suit you
Our Tailoring Philosophy
The garment should fit the person.
The person should not have to fit the garment.
Master Tailor Jin Lee
This is the philosophy behind every garment at Lee’s Custom Tailoring: we do not ask the body to conform to a standard suit. We design the garment around the person.
The Master Tailor Approach
How Jin Approaches the Fit
The garment is designed around one person — step by step, in person.
