  • WHAT IS SCHNEIDER & CO.'S HOUSE STYLE?

- Schneider & Co’s house style is distinct, drawing inspiration from Milanese and Southern Italian tailoring. It is characterised by low lapel gorges, balanced wide lapels, structured, extended shoulders and a sharply defined chest and waist. We are the antithesis of tight, short silhouettes, instead embodying a masculine yet elegant aesthetic.

     

    • WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MADE-TO-MEASURE AND BESPOKE?

    - Made-to-Measure (MTM) garments are created from an existing pattern that is adjusted to your basic body measurements such as length and size. While MTM provides a personalised fit, it is primarily based on basic adjustments rather than full pattern changes, meaning its ability to accommodate individual posture, balance and detailed fitting refinements is limited. As a result, issues such as wrinkles caused by posture and natural body shape variations, which occur when the body does not align perfectly with the base pattern, can only be addressed to a certain extent. This allows for a shorter lead time and a more cost-effective process.

    By contrast, our Semi-Bespoke and Bespoke garments are developed specifically around your body from the outset. The pattern is designed to account for your unique proportions, posture and preferences, allowing for a far greater level of precision and refinement. Through detailed fittings and extensive handwork, these garments achieve a more natural fit, enhanced comfort and a distinctly three-dimensional silhouette.

    The difference between Semi-Bespoke and Bespoke lies primarily in the level of hand craftsmanship involved.

    Our Semi-Bespoke garments feature handwork in all areas where it is essential to the structure, fit and character of the garment. However, elements that do not benefit significantly from hand construction may be completed using a combination of traditional and modern techniques.

    Our Bespoke garments represent the highest expression of tailoring. Every stage of construction is carried out by hand, using the finest canvases, linings and tailoring materials available. This level of craftsmanship creates the elegant drape, softness and sculpted three-dimensional silhouette that can only be achieved through true handmade tailoring.
