Custom Made Tailored Suits For Men And Women

Looking for business suits in Melbourne? Our in-house tailors are here to help. A business suit or wedding suit can come in different styles, fabrics, colours, patterns and weights. But the most important thing is that it should fit well. At The Suit Concierge, we offer tailored suits for men and women Australia-wide and ensure you get the perfect fit – for your body and for the occasion, be it work, wedding or a special occasion. At our Richmond showroom, we have a selection of over 10,000 fabrics, samples of our custom made suits, an in-house tailor and off-the-rack suits (for those who need a suit right away). For those with busy schedules who cannot come to our Richmond location, our travelling tailor can come to you in Melbourne CBD, South Yarra, Toorak, or any surrounding suburbs.

Business Suits

"Always leave the house prepared to meet the Queen". In other words, wear your best clothing at every opportunity when you step out of your home. This shows self-confidence and emphasizes that you've made an effort to look your best, and to achieve this, great-fitting clothing is paramount.

This is particularly important if you're on your way to work. And by best, we don't mean the most expensive, as a fancy inner label from an exclusive brand does not automatically give you style and class, regardless of what marketing and social media may tell you. By the best, we mean how stylish your attire is, how the colour suits your complexion and personality and the occasion, and most importantly, how well your attire fits your physique.

If you feel confident, it'll show onlookers that you mean business, from the CEO to the delivery driver. Your business suit is your unique uniform, tailored specifically to you – your second skin.

Suit Styles

It can be a traditional two-piece suit with a single-breasted notch lapel jacket with two-button closure and centre rear vent or a more contemporary peak lapel three-piece suit with ticket pockets and a hand-stitched lapel jacket side rear vents and side tab adjusters on the trousers. Of course, this is but the beginning of your bespoke experience, which we admit will spoil you from purchasing anything else off-the-rack and for that, we are truly sorry.

About Godwin Charli

Born in 1980 to Maltese immigrants, as a child, Godwin was raised next to sewing machines and, as a young boy, found himself engaging his mother Evelyn regularly to modify or make almost everything he wore. However, it was the discovery in 2001 of a local tailoring workshop in Melbourne gave Godwin the fire to follow his true passion and nurture his natural-born gift. In his early 20s, the tailoring workshop that once supported Godwin's hobby had become his classroom. Under the careful guidance of master tailors and head ateliers, these rare mentors taught Godwin a hands-on approach & patience, rarely seen in today's fast fashion industry. Under these tables and machines, the Godwin Charli brand was born in 2007.

Specializing in tailored fashion for Men and Women, the 'Charli' in the brand (the female) is a nod to Godwin's parents Charles and Evelyn, for all of their sartorial influence. Today, Godwin Charli draws on the same lessons in pursuit of tailoring perfection. Working with an incredibly talented team both locally and internationally, Godwin creates world-class garments that underline his customer's individuality and the brand's exacting quality, design & premium fabrication.

About Tom James Of Melbourne

A self-made businessman, Spencer took his love for fine clothing and his fine business sense to form the world's largest manufacturer and retailer of custom men's (and women's) clothing. He travelled a great deal. He loved fine clothing and began thinking of the advantages of having an easier and more satisfying way to shop. The concept for Tom James was born out of that desire. Spencer left this world on March 1st, 2017, but he did not leave it unaffected. His influence will be felt for generations, not only directly from his relationships with his friends, families, and colleagues, but by every employee of the companies, he leads. Tom James Company's leadership continues Spencer's legacy by keeping his principles at the basis of our business today.

Over the years, Tom James Company has acquired many of the manufacturing authorities in the custom clothing industry. One of the first acquisitions in 1974 was the English American Company, a custom suit maker that traces its roots back over 100 years. In 1994, the last hand-sewn suit manufacturer in the U.S., Oxxford Clothing, became part of the Tom James family and crafted our highest make, Prestige. In 2016, Tom James transitioned the Prestige label to the "Oxford Finest Quality" label.

Following suit, to accompany the purchase of the finest suit manufacturer globally, Tom James Company acquired Holland & Sherry in 2003. Holland & Sherry had long been the provider of our finest cloth in our premier makes. Hence, it only made sense to bring them into a company that honoured their legacy and gave them the vision to venture into the luxury interiors market with Holland & Sherry Interiors.

HOLLAND & SHERRY

Since 1836, Holland & Sherry has supplied cloth to prestigious tailors and luxury labels worldwide. From its headquarters on historic Savile Row in London, Holland & Sherry provides the world's finest Merino wool, cashmere, mohair, vicuna, silk, cotton and linen cloth. Tom James is proud to feature the artistry and tradition of Holland & Sherry, our largest supplier of cloth.

Our Services

Oxxford Clothes is the last manufacturer left in the United States that still tailors suits by hand. It is the standard by which all other men's tailored clothing is judged. In 2016, Oxxford Clothes celebrated its 100th year of providing fine tailored menswear to its most discerning clientele. The motto of America's most iconic clothing brand says it all: "Always Be Faithful to Quality."

Oxford Clothing for Tom James Company

WOMEN'S CUSTOM CLOTHING

With our long-standing authority in Men's Custom Clothing, in the mid-1990, it only made sense with the rise of professional women in the workplace to craft custom garments for women. In 2015, our leadership decided to invest more into the women's custom clothing part of our business and embarked on a journey to reimagine a line of women's custom clothing from the ground up. Not only did we design new models for women based on body shape, but we also designed an entire line of fabrics specifically for women, including beautiful boucle styles, incredibly soft stretch materials, and stunning jacquards.

About Peter Jacksons

Peter Jackson is an Australian garment maker constructing quality menswear with a passion for innovative design and a strong emphasis on revolutionizing the menswear retail space. We recognize a huge disparity between 'disposable fashion' and luxury garments in both quality and price; we stand to bridge that gap because we believe that fashion and luxury should be accessible to everyone.

By challenging modern-day fashion conventions and pushing boundaries, we believe the modern man deserves clothing constructed from the world's best textiles without paying over the odds. As a result, our brand is not only a testament to authentic craftsmanship but also represents our dedication to instilling confidence in men to embrace their fashion aspirations whilst making confident and lasting impressions.

For over seven decades, we've believed in elevating the dress standards of all Australian men. By empowering them to draw confidence from their appearance, they will look their best and be ready for every occasion. This strong sense of purpose started in 1948, in the heart of Melbourne's CBD-Little Bourke Street, where siblings Olga, Peter and David Jackson ran their iconic barbershop.

Selling neckties, the trio's foray into fashion gradually evolved into a full tailored Men's range. Soon after, we promptly established ourselves as the number one destination for men's fashion throughout Melbourne. With a new generation of Jacksons at the helm and more than 60 stores nationally, Peter Jackson remains a family business echoing views and values established 70 years ago.

Our Services

Peter Jackson's passion for tailoring and high-quality fabrics has provided men with stylish formal and casual wear since 1948. As our brand grows nationally, so does our dedication and desire to provide our clientele with quality customer service and garments. We are looking for applicants with an eye for fashion, a service-minded personality and a personable demeanour. You have exceptional people skills, and you can effortlessly interact with customers and Peter Jackson team members. You thrive when working in a team environment. You want to help continue to grow an iconic fashion brand and have a career in one of the most established companies in Australian men's fashion.

We also make beautiful skirts and a range of tops and shirt styles.

The cloth has been developed specifically for the female form and includes glazed Irish linen, luxurious brushed Italian cotton, corduroy and cashmere flannel.

Our Services

If you are unsure how to look after, clean or generally maintain your Bell & Barnett products, here is a list of care instructions. May they serve your Bell & Barnett products well.

Suits

Now that you have your high-quality Bell & Barnett suit, we have some tips to keep it looking great. First, hang it up whenever you take your suit off at the end of the day or evening to let it recover and work any wrinkles out naturally. Let the suit breathe so that the fibres can breathe, ideally in a suit bag (one that will still allow the suit jacket to breathe). When wearing the trousers, remember to pull them up from the thighs if you sit down, avoiding extra strain on the fabric. Avoid overstuffing your suit trouser pockets to avoid extra strain on the seams. Any dirt on the suit should be easily brushed off with a soft-bristled brush. Dry clean only - but not excessively, as this may cause shrinkage or discolouring. Try spot cleaning for the majority of cleaning needs.

Shirts

Machine wash inside out with similar colours. Tumble dry low or hang in the shade to dry. It is best to iron whilst your shirt is still damp. Using a good steam iron - you'll easily get rid of those wrinkles and dry your shirt out. Do not bleach. Suitable for dry clean - but not excessively.

Blazers

A new wool blazer needs to be looked after! That is why Bell & Barnett offer a few helpful tips on maintaining your new blazer.

When you take your wool blazer off at the end of the day, hang it up in your wardrobe with plenty of space to let the fabric recover. Never fold a blazer, as this will cause wrinkles. If you find your blazer has wrinkles, hanging it in the wardrobe overnight should help remove or ease them. Any dirt that has found its way onto your blazer can be easily removed with a soft bristle brush. Dry clean only - but not excessively, as this may cause shrinkage or discolour of the blazer. Try spot cleaning for the majority of cleaning needs.

Chino Pants

Bell & Barnett smart-casual pants are high quality, but taking care of these pants will give them a longer life. We have some tips to keep them looking great. When wearing casual trousers, remember to pull them up from the thighs if you sit down, avoiding extra strain on the fabric. Likewise, avoid overstuffing your trouser pockets to avoid extra strain on the seams. After you get back from your day or night out, hang up your trousers to let them recover work out any wrinkles naturally. Any dirt that may have snuck its way onto the pants can be easily removed with a soft-bristled brush. Dry clean only, although try to limit the number of times you do this. Try spot cleaning instead for most cleaning requirements.

Knitwear

Knitwear is something that should be treated differently from your suits and shirts. Here are some Bell & Barnett tips on making sure your knitwear keeps looking great. Remember that knits are made from fragile materials, and they should be treated with great care, especially when wearing bags or when around items such as jewellery or watches. Never hang your knits on clothes hangers – instead, fold them. When it comes to cleaning, brushing is an effective way to keep the knits clear and look good. Hand wash instead of machine wash.

Belts

Bell & Barnett have a few tips for looking after your belt to keep it looking great after buying it. When you first get the belt, you should apply some leather conditioner to it, which will help preserve your belt against the elements. You want your belt to last naturally. For day to day maintenance, make sure you take off your belt when you take off your pants. Yes, we understand that it may save a bit of time in the morning, but you risk warping the belt out of shape by not taking the belt off. And dry to keep the belt dry - despite the conditioner, it is still advisable not to let the elements batter it into submission. If your belt does get wet, let it dry at room temperature. Remove dirt and dust with a stiff (but not overly hard) brush.

If there is a spillage, make sure it gets cleaned promptly. First, soak up any spills with clean, absorbent cloth by blotting. Use a wet cloth for anything aside from water. After cleaning, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Once this has been achieved, re-apply for that trusty leather conditioner. Every six months or so, clean your leather belt with soap to prevent any fishy odours from emerging from the trusty belt. Use a banister brush covered in soap, and then sweep the soap and dirt away with a clean cloth. Rinse with water and dry (if you use a hairdryer, make sure at least 15cm between the belt and the dryer).

Bowties

For daily upkeep: When untying the tie, make sure that you "tie it up in reverse", and avoid untying it by pulling on the knot. Avoid getting wrinkles by folding the tie gently. If there are wrinkles, hang the tie-up during a hot shower – the steam should remove creases. If serious creases and iron must be used, make sure it is on low heat, and there is cotton or linen between the tie and the iron. For storage, hang the tie-up in your wardrobe. If the tie needs to be washed, attempt cleaning the tie as soon as possible and dab the stain with a small amount of carbonated water. If a stain persists and you decide to wash your silk tie, it is advised not to machine wash but instead, hand wash by using lukewarm water and non-alkaline soap. Rub stains out, but try not to let the tie soak in water.

Cufflinks

Avoid putting them in water, and make sure they don't end up in the laundry. Keep the cufflinks away from chlorinated water and strong chemicals. A good piece of advice is "last on, first off", which means that the cufflinks and other accessories should go on after putting on aftershave and perfumes, so it reduces the damage they receive from the chemicals in those products. For storage, place the cufflinks in storage containers to prevent oxidization and tarnishing. It is also advisable to store your cufflinks separately from your other accessories to prevent scratching. Finally, keep the cufflinks in a cool and dry place and the dark. Even if you are careful with wearing and storing the cufflinks, eventually, the cufflinks will lose their lustre – even the oils in your skin will cause tarnishing. So, it will be inevitable that you will need to clean your cufflinks now and again. For light tarnishing, a polishing cloth should suffice. This should bring back the lustre of the cufflinks. For more serious tarnishes, a gentle jewellery cleaning agency should be used. Do not use cleaning solutions, as the chemicals in these products will damage the jewellery.

Pocket Squares

Keep the pocket square away from damaging chemicals and direct sunlight for extended periods. It is advisable to send your silk pocket square to a dry-cleaning establishment with silk experience. However, if the need to clean the pocket squares yourself emerges, wash gently in cool water with non-alkaline soap. Dry the silk in the shade, as direct sunlight will damage the vibrancy of the colours. If you need to iron the pocket square, place cotton between the iron and the pocket square, and iron the pocket square on the reverse side.

Silk Ties

For daily upkeep: When untying the tie, make sure that you "tie it up in reverse", and avoid untying it by pulling on the knot. Avoid getting wrinkles by folding the tie gently. If there are wrinkles, hang the tie-up during a hot shower – the steam should remove creases. If serious creases and iron must be used, make sure it is on low heat, and there is cotton or linen between the tie and the iron. For storage, hang the tie-up in your wardrobe. If the tie needs to be washed, attempt cleaning the tie as soon as possible and dab the stain with a small amount of carbonated water. If a stain persists and you decide to wash your silk tie, it is advised not to machine wash but instead, hand wash by using lukewarm water and non-alkaline soap. Rub stains out, but try not to let the tie soak in water.

Tie Bars

Avoid placing the tie bars in water, and keep them away from harsh chemicals like chlorine. The "last on, first off" mantra is good to live by, as most men's accessories. That means it should go on last, so it runs less risk of being damaged by perfumes or aftershaves. Storage advice: the tie bars should be stored separately from other jewellery and accessories, as this will prevent scratching and damage. Store in a cool, dark and dry space, ideally in storage containers that prevent or reduce oxidization. If the tie bars get tarnished, use a polishing cloth to bring the lustre. In cases of serious tarnishing, a gentle cleaning agency should be used. Avoid cleaning solutions that damage the tie bar.

About Steel And May Bespoke Tailoring

Fabric Weights

Typically the suit fabrics are graded for their weight (measured in ounces) and wool fineness (measured in 'Super' numbers). The heavier wool cloth is more durable and will last longer than the lighter cloth but may be uncomfortable in the Australian summer. We recommend fabric weights in 9oz up to 12oz for everyday wear.

Wool Fineness

Typically, wool is graded from Super 80s up to Super 200s. New technology and breeding techniques allow us access to finer wools than ever before. However, these ultra-fine fabrics are not always ideal for everyday use as they are not as durable as the slightly coarser wools.

About Henry Buck

Henry Buck was born on November 26th 1860, in Clerkenwell, London. He was the second child of Thomas, a master electro-plater and later a corn factor. He moved to Yorkshire and was brought up in Danby. At the age of thirteen, Henry learned the soft goods trade and, suffering from tuberculosis, migrated to New South Wales in 1887, finding a job as a grazier's farmhand at 'Manfred' owned by the Tailor family near Euston. His fiancée Laura Jane Rose joined him but was repelled by life on a sheep station and persuaded Henry to move to Melbourne. On June 25th 1887, at Armadale, the couple married with Presbyterian forms.

Henry worked as a bookbinder's assistant, losing his job in 1890 after having the ambition to ask for a pay rise, probably a shilling a week. Instead, he went into business with a friend and found that he had been duped, to his dismay. Rather than take legal action against his friend, Henry took over the shirting fabric shop, the fabrics and equipment. With Laura as the bookkeeper and two machinists, he learned the trade of shirt making, opening a shop on August 25th 1890, in the fashionable Queen's Walk-off Swanston Street and Collins Street, now known as Henry Buck Pty Ltd.

By the turn of the century, Henry had built a big factory on the outskirts of Melbourne to manufacture shirts, pyjamas and ties. He also diversified into warehousing and wholesaling and founded Wallace, Buck and Goodes Pty Ltd, the London Tie Co Pty Ltd, Beaucaire Knitting Mills Pty Ltd and Eyelets Pty Ltd.

Henry was a respected figure in Melbourne. He belonged to the Commercial Travellers' Association, the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria, the Melbourne Cricket Club and the Master Drapers' Association of Victoria, and in London, where he was a member of the Portland Club. He was an authority on bridge and solo and belonged to the Melbourne Philharmonic Society. King George V appointed Henry Buck an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1920 for services to the community and business. As well as managing a business involved in retail, manufacturing and wholesaling, Henry had become famous for administering to thousands of returned troops, ferrying them around and providing food and shelter throughout the 1914-1918 war. 

On May 7th 1933, Henry Buck died in Marylebone, London and was survived by his wife and daughter. The company moved in 1963 to the new Colonial Mutual Building, Collins Street, where the plush atmosphere of the old store was re-created and remained to this day at 320 Collins Street, Melbourne. Over the years, the company has strengthened its position in the marketplace through expansion and consolidation, entrepreneurial initiatives, and focusing on its' 35-65 age group of affluent, corporate and professional, smartly dressed clients.

We encourage our first-time clients, whether they be grooms, corporate dwellers or once-off suit hunters, to collect images and examples of the look they want to achieve, and we can help them make that look their own.

A casual glimpse around any Australian city centre, Melbourne or Sydney especially, reveals men are no longer heading to work in baggy, poorly fitted trousers or oversized jackets. In general, Aussies are taking their suiting seriously. This is because a sense of confidence comes with a quality suit that few other garments can provide. Bespoke of Melbourne also like to give customers the personalization to have their name printed on their shirt collar, shirt cuffs or the inside of their suit jacket. Suits are not simply one of the essential wardrobe staples but also among the most versatile, as can be seen during the spring racing season. The three key suiting situations one needs to consider are listed below.

The Custom Details

Personalization is one of the greatest perks of choosing made-to-measure designs. Custom made tailored suits give you the flexibility to add unique design elements, giving it a signature touch. Choose a contrast lining, a highlight colour pick-stitching, horn or shell buttons, and even monogram embroidery to add your spin at Carl Navè.

The Surgeon's Cuffs

Working or functional buttonholes have always been the epitome of style and testament to bespoke tailoring. These intricate details set a bespoke tailored suit apart from regular off-the-rack suits. Extremely difficult to find in off-the-rack suits at Carl Navè, we use working buttonholes to elevate the style of your suite at no extra cost. Our preferred button placement is the 'kissing buttons'. This is a lovely little detail where buttons gently touch and overlap one another."

The Pants

At Carl Navè, we now offer a selection of casual pants, chinos, and shorts, custom-made to your exact measurements and specifications. Choose from cotton twill, drill, or cotton stretch to ensure the perfect fit. Our pants start at $270.
