Getting to Know the Client

At Martinez Custom Clothier, profiling the client is our inaugural step towards curating a distinctive and pleasurable experience that resonates with their individual tastes and inclinations. When engaging with a new client, our exploration begins not with a mere checklist but with a comprehensive dialogue. We explore their lifestyle, the nature of their profession, social engagements, and the frequency of their travels, whether for business or leisure. This rich tapestry of information, gathered more as conversation than inquiry, becomes instrumental in our selection of fabrics, prints, colors, and in sculpting the perfect silhouettes. By genuinely understanding our client, we seamlessly blend our sartorial expertise with their personality and lifestyle, fostering authentic relationships and ensuring an unparalleled custom clothing experience.

Physical Profile + Measurements

Physical Profile + Measurements

During this step in our process, we also conduct an extensive analysis of the client’s physical profile. This profile includes the shape of the face, posture, height, and build. This technique of personally profiling the client is the defining difference in Martinez Custom Clothier’s custom apparel. 

Once we have an understanding of what the client is looking for and what works best for the client, we then begin measuring. Each piece of clothing requires a specific set of measurements that will make their new wardrobe completely custom for the client.

3.

Fabric Selection + Design

From the moment our client walks through the door, our conceptual design process commences. Based on the client’s complexion, we determine whether we’re aligning with a warm or cool palette, subsequently initiating the fabric selection process. In tandem, we delve into the client’s preferences regarding the tactile qualities and weight of fabrics, guiding our final choices in patterns, fabric weights, and colors. Before embarking on the artistic and technical design of the wardrobe, we craft a personal profile tailored to the client’s lifestyle and physique, select the most fitting fabrics, and acquire precise measurements. During the initial consultation, we present style recommendations that best suit the client’s physical profile. Once a style choice is made, we tailor a unique pattern and set the wheels in motion for the creation of the bespoke clothing.

Crafting the Garment

Crafting a bespoke garment is a masterful blend of precision and artisanal skill. From hand-felled collars and shoulder straps to expertly sewn arm scyes and perfectly contoured lapels, every detail underscores our dedication to perfection. Key features, such as our exclusive Bemberg linings and hand-cut personalized patterns, reflect our commitment to individuality. Each fabric is chosen and hand-cut with care, fortified with a full horse-hair canvas for enduring structure. Our meticulous process extends to hand-pressed garments and hand-finished buttonholes, including the distinguished surgeon’s cuffs and boutonniere—each adorned with a silk thread symbolizing a flower stem, encapsulating a narrative of personal style.

5.

Fittings

The fittings process stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to sartorial precision. Initiated once the initial construction of the garment is in place, each fitting session is an intimate dance between the client and the clothier. We meticulously analyze the drape, silhouette, and nuances of the garment on the individual, making incremental adjustments to ensure an impeccable fit that aligns with the client’s comfort and aesthetic preferences. Our artisans take notes of every subtlety, ensuring that the final garment not only embodies the wearer’s unique measurements but also resonates with their personal style. This iterative process, often spanning multiple sessions, ensures that every Martinez Custom Clothier creation is nothing short of a wearable masterpiece.

Quality Takes Time

Kindly allow a period of 6-8 weeks for the completion of your bespoke garment if you are a first-time patron. This additional time is imperative to infuse an extra touch of refinement into your attire, ensuring it is truly exceptional.
