Unquestionably superior
When you choose to invest in a Jasper Littman semi-bespoke suit there remains no compromise on the choice of fabrics and styles – or the skill, experience and perfectionism of your expert tailor.
Compared to our fully bespoke suits, the difference lies in the process; fitting for a Jasper Littman semi-bespoke suit does not include the intermediate ‘baste’ stage, rather the garment is created from the detailed measurements taken at your first appointment to a straight finish. All required alterations are made afterwards, and the suit will not necessarily include hand-finishing.
Far from a compromise, this represents contemporary personal tailoring. At Jasper Littman, we firmly believe that a semi-bespoke suit is an unquestionably superior option to any off-the-peg garment.
Prices are dependent upon the fabric chosen; semi-bespoke Jasper Littman suits start at £1,049, with the average cost currently around £1,200 to £1,600.
The Jasper Littman silhouette
We believe that the silhouette or ‘cut’ of a suit is an absolutely crucial factor in creating an elegant suit that will leave an impression. A good silhouette is all about balance.
Our cut has been developed and improved over many years, to create a flattering appearance whilst still adhering to the general principles of a Savile Row traditionally tailored suit.
Note the slight curve at the waist, designed to make the wearer look slimmer. The raised buttoning position and slightly narrowed lapels are also typical of a Savile Row suit; they help to draw attention to the chest, creating a more masculine profile.
It is important to remember, however, that each suit is made personally for each client, so use our guidance – but in the end, make the suit your own.
Your first appointment
Choosing fabric and measuring
Your dedicated visiting tailor will come to your home or office (or meet you on Savile Row if you prefer) with a wide variety of fabrics and linings to help with your choice of colours, weaves and styles. You’ll also have the opportunity to try on a sample garment, so that you can examine the cut and quality of our construction.
As with our fully bespoke suits, when ordering a semi-bespoke suit you are measured in great detail by an expert with many years’ experience on Savile Row, taking into account all the idiosyncrasies of your posture.
A 50% deposit will be placed on the order.
Your second appointment
First Fitting
Around 6 to 7 weeks after your initial appointment, your suit will be ready for the first fitting.
Your dedicated tailor will arrange a further meeting with you, again at your convenience in terms of time and location. During this first fitting, your tailor will pin or mark up the suit to prepare it for adjustment.
Your third appointment
Second Fitting
Approximately 10-14 days after your first fitting, your tailor will contact you for the final fitting appointment.
The suit will be tried on again just to ensure that the adjustments were carried out correctly.
If so, the balance on the order is paid.
Your adjusted measurements will be kept on file, ensuring that we can provide an even more personalised and streamlined service for all subsequent orders.
