Our Garments
Our garments are hand-cut and sewn by our master tailors at our atelier in Hong Kong, a region known for its heritage in precise and high-quality tailoring. We work with a wide range of fabrics, with a focus on renowned Italian mills. You will be able to view and feel our fabric samples during your trunk show or fitting appointment.
A suit canvas is a floating internal layer of material that is stitched inside the suit jacket. It provides the suit with its structure and allows the garment to drape naturally on the body.
We provide standard and full-canvas construction as a default for all our suits, which offers a great balance of quality and value.
Off-the-Rack (Ready-to-Wear):These are mass-produced suits in standard sizes that you can buy and take home immediately. They are designed to fit a wide range of body types, but they rarely fit perfectly.
Made-to-Measure (MTM):This is the process we use at Willem H Atelier. We take your specific measurements and use them to adjust an existing pattern to your body. You have the freedom to select your fabric, lining, lapel style, and other design details.
Bespoke:This is the pinnacle of custom tailoring. The term "bespoke" means the suit is made entirely from scratch, with a unique paper pattern created just for you. Every detail is completely tailored to your preferences, and it often requires multiple fittings.
