The Stitch in Time: A Look at Tailoring's Past and Present

It's a question that's plagued mankind for centuries: why do we wear clothes? Okay, maybe not exactly centuries, but you get the point. From togas to top hats, we've always been looking for ways to cover up and look our best. And as fashion has evolved, so has the way we put our threads together.

Once upon a time, tailors were the horse-drawn carriages of the fashion world, traveling from town to town to take measurements and create bespoke garments for their wealthy clients. They wielded their measuring tapes like magic wands, conjuring up garments that fit like a glove.

Fast forward a few hundred years, and tailoring has come a long way. Gone are the horse-drawn carriages, replaced by high-tech measuring devices and online ordering systems. But, the essence of tailoring remains the same: the creation of a garment that fits the wearer like a second skin.

In the 1960s and 70s, off-the-rack suits took over as the preferred choice for the average man. They were cheaper, faster, and easier to come by than a bespoke suit. But, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Off-the-rack suits were often poorly made, ill-fitting, and lacked the unique character of a bespoke suit.

The rise of made-to-measure suits is just the latest chapter in the long and winding story of tailoring. Instead of buying a suit off the rack and hoping it fits, you can now have one custom-made just for you. And it's not just about getting the right size. With made-to-measure, you can choose the fabric, style, and fit that best suits your body and your sense of style. It's the ultimate in a bespoke fashion.

But why stop there? Why settle for just a made-to-measure suit when you can have a whole wardrobe of bespoke threads? With Darzi, you can have everything from jackets and coats to accessories all made to measure. And who knows? Maybe one day, you'll even be able to have your socks and underwear tailored to fit. Now that's what we call taking it to the next level!
