Men's Bespoke Suits and Sports Coats

A Bespoke suit is one that has been crafted almost entirely by hand. The pattern is handmade to the specifications of your
body and the garment is hand cut by a skilled tailor exclusively for you. The buttonholes, pick stitching, pad stitching, lining, sleeves, and more are all hand sew by a tailor here in the US. Q. Contrary partners with master tailors who are trained with 40+ years of experience and are truly skilled in old-world tailoring.

Fabrics range in color, pattern, texture, composition, and weave. They also change with the seasons, and trends do come and go. We offer a full range of casual, formal, and business fabrics sourced from the best mills in Italy and the United Kingdom. The mills such as Loro Piana and Scabal are represented in our swatch collection. Narrowing it down to just one fabric can be overwhelming at times, but with our expertise, the decision will become manageable and fun.

The construction of our garments are of such great quality, that you will be wearing them for 10+ years. The inner linings, buttons, padding, canvas, and fabric will be top of the line. The only reason to buy again is because fashion is constantly changing, and you know we will be always up to date with the latest fittings, designs, and fabrics.

Fitting Process

1. The Consultation

Meet with Mary to discuss your lifestyle, upcoming occasions, personal style, and what you would like your custom clothing to accomplish.

2. Fabric and Design

Together, you will select the fabric, lining, lapels, pockets, buttons, and other details that make the garment uniquely yours.

3. Measurements and Fit

Mary takes precise measurements and evaluates your build, posture, and proportions to build a pattern just for you. You will also discuss how you prefer your clothing to fit and feel.

4. Pattern and Construction

A pattern is created for your body and sent to our master makers, who begin constructing your garment with careful attention to structure and detail.

5. Basted Fitting

If needed, you will try on the unfinished garment so Mary can evaluate its fit, balance, and proportions. Any necessary adjustments are recorded before your final garment is completed.

At your final appointment, Mary reviews the finished garment, confirms the fit, and ensures every detail is exactly as intended.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Pricing is primarily driven by fabric selection, garment construction, and level of detailing. At Q. Contrary, we work closely with some of the best fabric mills and buy the cloth directly from them Loro Piana, Scabal, and Gladson, among others. Each fabric offers different design, quality in terms of softness, durability, performance, and exclusivity, which naturally affects price.

  • With proper care, a Q. Contrary bespoke garment is designed to last 10 to 15 years or more. Each piece is constructed with premium canvas structure (not glued or fused), high-quality linings, buttons, and padding details that are often overlooked but make a meaningful difference in both longevity and fit over time.

    To extend the life of your garment, we recommend storing it on a quality hanger, using a garment bag for protection, and avoiding daily wear. Like fine footwear, tailored clothing benefits from rest. Allowing your suit or sport coat a day or two between wears gives the fabric time to breathe and recover, ensuring it continues to look and feel its best for years to come.

  • Taking care of your bespoke suit and sport coat plays a major role in preserving the look, fit, and longevity of your bespoke garments. We recommend storing your suit or sport coat on a quality hanger to maintain its shape and structure, and using a garment bag for added protection.

    Dry cleaning should be done thoughtfully, not routinely. Clean your garment only when it has been exposed to heavy perspiration or if staining occurs, as over-cleaning can shorten the life of fine fabrics. Bespoke suits and sport coats should never be cleaned at home in a washing machine, as this can damage the structure, canvas, and overall integrity of the garment. We strongly recommend professional care only and from a reputable cleaner (not the 99 cent cleaners).

    Whenever possible, entrust your garments to a high-end dry cleaner experienced with tailored clothing. If you live in Phoenix, we recommend Maroney’s, Arcadia, or Elite Cleaners, all of which understand the care required for premium fabrics and construction.
    Finally, allow your garments time to rest between wears. Giving your suit or sport coat a day or two to breathe helps the fabric recover, reduces wear, and keeps it looking sharp for years to come.

  • A bespoke suit is a garment made completely by scratch from start to finish. A paper pattern is made, by hand for you. Your garment is handcut and one to 3 tailors will sew your bespoke garment mostly by hand but some seams by machine. For a custom made garment, a machine will make your personal paper pattern and cut the fabric, and a team of 5-8 tailors will sew your garment. With our tailors, both use quality fabrics and trimmings for both makes, however, the bespoke garment will have the highest quality of everything.

Privacy First, Always

I have been fortunate to work with high-profile clients, and I remain committed to protecting the integrity of their privacy.

For clients that prefer the highest level of privacy during fitting appointments, I offer in-home or after-hours sessions at my store. All of your measurements are taken by me personally.

During fittings, the photos I need to collaborate with my tailors are always taken from the shoulders down to prevent identification, and unless you provide me with your explicit consent, I will not share any photos for promotional reasons.

Call me old-fashioned, but I also refuse to use cloud-based tools for my client records to avoid unwanted eyes on their information. Any personal information is stored on a private device and securely kept on premise.
