Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does the design process work?
-
The design process begins with filling out the custom order request form. This form is intended to gather a detailed description of what you might like to have made. Then we will send a follow up email in which we discuss your design ideas, the imagery and level of detail involved, budget, timeline, etc. If we decide this is a project we can take on, we will ask for a deposit of 1/4 to 1/2 the total cost upfront to get your order on the books, at which point we will draw up a sketch for your approval. This process includes two to three rounds of revisions if necessary. Then we will either take measurements in person or send a measurements sheet to be filled out by a local tailor. Once we have the measurements we can begin construction on your garments.

How much does a custom suit cost?
-
The cost starts with 1/4 to 1/2 of the total cost due upfront after design is discussed, and the rest due upon completion of the suit or can be paid off gradually. Fully custom western suits of a jacket and pants start at around $3000 and go up from there. A heavily embroidered Nudie style suit with rhinestones could be anywhere in the $5000-10,000 range depending on how detailed we go, plus sales tax if in the state of Tennessee. Shirts, pants, and other garments of less complexity than a suit jacket start at around $300 each and go up from there as embroidery and other details are added. We also can add embroidery to an existing garment at a lower price point, please see the section below for more information.

-
How do I get measured for a suit?
-
We recommend coming by in person to our Nashville studio to get measured, although we can also provide a measurements sheet that can be taken to a local tailor. We can guarantee the fit of the garment if measured by our team in person and if the wearer attends a final fitting in person. If measured by our team and the fit isn’t right we will correct it at our cost, but if the measurements were provided by the customer we can still fix it but will have to charge for additional alterations.
-
We recommend coming in for a final fitting of your suit, as this is the final chance to make fit adjustments. If you are choosing between an in-person visit for either measurements or a final fitting, the final fitting is more important.

What colors and fabrics can I choose from?
-
We have a variety of swatches available in wool suiting blends and cotton or polyester twill. These will be available for you to view once we start the design process.

Do you embroider on existing garments?
-
Yes! We can add chainstitch embroidery to an existing denim jacket, dress, vintage suit, western shirt, etc. This can range anywhere from $100-1500 depending on how detailed we go. Most denim jackets with something fairly large on the back fall in the $300-800 range depending on complexity.

Do you do any mobile embroidery at pop up events and activations?
-
Yes! We charge an hourly rate for embroidery events, plus any travel costs if outside of Nashville, which gets you unlimited embroidery for that timeframe at no cost to your customers or guests. The most popular option is personalizing bandanas or denim with names or other words. All we need is an electrical outlet to plug into and the bandanas or other items to be embroidered provided by you, everything else from thread to table is included in our setup. We can also source the items to be embroidered for an additional fee.

This is excellent activation for a corporate gifting event, store opening, wedding, or other celebration when you want your guests to have a fun and interactive personalized gift.
