Custom Tailoring for Tall and Slender Frames
Lengths and proportions made for your frame, not a size chart.
Length and Width, Considered Together
Standard Sizes, Individual Proportions
When Length and Width Don’t Agree
Ready-made sizing ties length to width. A tall or slender client often has to choose between a garment that is long enough and one that is not too wide.
The result is usually a compromise in both directions. Custom tailoring can consider each length and width for the individual.
- Sleeves or trousers that are too short in your size
- Extra fabric through the body when the length is right
- Shirts that fit the collar but not the body
- A jacket that looks too wide on a narrow frame
Our Tailoring Philosophy
The garment should fit the person.
The person should not have to fit the garment.
Master Tailor Jin Lee
Every length and width is considered in relation to the whole garment and to you — balance, proportion, posture, comfort, and individual style.
The Master Tailor Approach
How Jin Approaches the Fit
The approach begins with your frame and how you wear your clothes.
-
01
Conversation
A conversation about how and where the garment will be worn, and how you need to move in it.
-
02
Detailed Measurements
A detailed set of measurements, taken personally.
-
03
Posture & Proportion
Observation of your posture and proportions, so the garment can be balanced for your body.
-
04
Style & Fabric Guidance
Guidance on cut, cloth, and details chosen to work with your proportions.
-
05
Fitting & Refinement
A fitting to refine balance, comfort, and movement before the garment is finished.
