The New: 3D Body Scanning Technology

As technology advances and infiltrates every aspect of modern life, the art of tailoring has also evolved. Using patented technology developed into a 3D body scanned, high-end tailors are able to take 200 body measurements in 600 milliseconds (to be exact). The data is then rendered in real-time to give exact measurements. The process is beneficial for many reasons:


  • Accuracy never seen before within made-to-measure tailors
  • Speeds-up the fitting process considerably
  • Saves the fit so repeat purchases can be done conveniently  

The Old - Hand Measurements

Hand measurements still have their importance in the fitting process. As accurate and quick the scanning is, it doesn't let the tailors know how the customer likes to wear their suit. The client may prefer a shorter, more contemporary fitted jacket or he might want a shorter fitted trouser as he might like to wear sneakers with the suit. The body scanning doesn't take these stylistic elements into consideration, but tailors do!
