Are you buying a made-to-measure suit? Read all you need to know about the process and check the video we made with Vaatturiliike Sauma.

The cotton suit might be one of the most underappreciated garments in men's summer wardrobe. Despite that I had for a long time been thinking about getting one commissioned for myself. Today I am taking a look at the result. A suit might sometimes sound like the last thing you want to put on during hot and sunny summer days.
