What Is a Custom Order? Tailoring Built Around You

A custom order is a suit built around your taste, your body and the occasion. Mon Amie explains the value of personalising every detail.

What is a custom order? It is a garment made to order, designed around your preferences, your needs, your body and the occasion you have in mind. Every detail — fabric, colour, cut, lining, buttons, pockets — is personalised. At Mon Amie, a custom order always begins with a simple wish: for something that feels more genuinely yours.

The four pillars of a custom order

  • Personalisation: designed around your figure, your style and your requirements rather than a fixed template.
  • Freedom of choice: you select the fabric, the colour, the cut and the details.
  • Meticulous craft: made by experienced tailors, with quality controlled at every stage.
  • A precise fit: comfort and silhouette optimised in equal measure.

A custom order exists to turn your wishes and ideas into a garment built for you alone — in look and in function. Nobody understands you better than you do: every choice has a reason, serving the way you want to feel and the way you want to dress. Quality is controlled from the internal structure to the finishing standard, and a good suit stays with you through the moments that matter.

The value of personalisation

Why invest in a made-to-measure suit rather than something off the rack?

  • A statement of taste: a distinct signature that nobody else is wearing.
  • Right for you, right on you: a precise fit flatters the figure and lifts your confidence.
  • Right occasion, right purpose: perfectly matched to where and how it will be worn.
  • A worthwhile investment: a well-made piece that lasts and holds its value over the years.

Where custom orders come into play

  • Weddings: the perfect wedding suit for the day when every detail deserves to be made to order.
  • Executive wardrobe: clothing that builds a professional, authoritative image for those who lead.
  • Bespoke: high tailoring with a rigorous process and refined handwork — the highest level of personalisation the craft offers.
  • Repeat clients: for gentlemen who already know their taste and want each new commission refined further than the last. With measurements kept for life at Mon Amie, repeat orders become faster and more accurate.

Personalising every layer

A custom order at Mon Amie puts six decisions in your hands:

  • Fabric: hundreds of options across wool, silk and linen, through to imported luxury mills — from Kevinlli, with a full suit from VND 4.8 million, to Canonico, Holland & Sherry, Dormeuil and Scabal.
  • Colour: a broad palette that makes it easy to create something unmistakably yours.
  • Details: buttons, pockets, lapels, vents — every small decision contributes to the difference.
  • Lining: fine silk in the colours and patterns that suit your eye.
  • Personal touches: monogramming and private marks, added with restraint.
  • Measuring and fitting: precise measurement and thorough fittings to guarantee comfort and fit, with alteration cover after delivery.

Mon Amie's advice: settle the fabric and the silhouette first, then move on to the decorative details. Fabric and cut account for eighty per cent of how a suit reads; lining, buttons and monogramming are the final flourish — most valuable when used sparingly.

A word from Mon Amie's artisans

The most rewarding part of a custom order is not the number of options, but the conversation that reveals why you chose what you chose. Once a tailor understands your habits, your work and the occasions ahead, every cut has intention behind it — and the suit becomes yours in the truest sense. Made to measure for you, made for you alone.
