Premium Off The Rack Suits by MaxMan Couture
Our best-selling Italian fabric suits are 100% Merino wool and come in 11 colors. They are available in 4 fits: the slimmest being the Trend, followed by Privé, Max Davoli, and Baroni, the gentleman’s fit. When one of our Haberdashers or Haberdasheretts finds out that you are interested in getting a suit, they will start by measuring you and asking about the kind of fit you are looking for. You may end up trying on a few different jackets and pants until you get the fit you are looking for. If the suit you need is not in stock, we will special order it for you, and it should arrive in about 1 week (other brands may take a little longer). Your suit will arrive with what is called an open bottom (unhemmed). We will have you try it on and mark the hem for length. Your suit pants will be done at no extra charge in 2 days. If you want any other alterations, they can be done for you at the regular alteration price in about 1 week (see suit tailoring below). Want a suit that fits like a dream?

Wedding dresses (Unless custom made for you) are made in generic sizes, so a bride’s body will almost never match the dress perfectly too big in the hips and too small in the bust or visa-versa. After you find your wedding dress, the bridal salon will compare your measurements to their size chart and order that size of gown. When your Dress is finally delivered, it must then be tailored to fit your figure, get the right hem and add things like bustling, or sleeves.
You will likely need to schedule three dress fittings. Schedule your first fitting to take place as soon as you have your dress in hand, the second fitting should be about a month before the event, and your final fitting approximately 2 weeks before. You may need an additional fitting if you have asked for lots of customizations. Usually, you will take your dress home with you after the final fitting.
