The art of tailoring is alive and strong. Recent technological advancements have created 3D body scanning, and when paired with artificial intelligence, could cut and assemble nearly any known design. This is emerging tech and too expensive for retail use, for now. While the art is successful, this could be the last generation of legacy skilled craftsmen and professional tailors.
Many skillsets have been replaced by tools, machinery, factories, robotics or even those kitchen tools to compensate for unsafe knife handling skills. We should use the tools that advancements offer. We have already witnessed the creation of a digital world. If we do not consciously decide to spend meaningful time unplugged and face-to-face with real relationships, we could lose much more.
If you do not know a preferred outfitter, follow this link to the best tailor in Sydney, as rated “Best” by GQ Magazine, where you will be welcomed and interviewed to define your needs in a newly tailor-made suit. You can define your timeframe needs, style, material and colour palette preferences, then listen to the professionals and respect the craft by allowing them to take your measurements and give suggestions.
Once they have a strong picture of what you want, they will schedule a return fitting with you for any adjustments to attain the precise fit, look, feel, style, etc. Good things take time and are generally worth waiting for. Plan ahead to allow your tailor to have more customers than you alone. Especially during wedding or event seasons, be patient by looking ahead.
A comprehensive vendor respects their clients. A reputable law firm or accounting firm will be staffed with a diverse team of specialists to meet the needs that may arise from their clientele.

A tip of the hat to having a proper hat to tip. Up your hat game to give your head a break in the heat of the sun. Don’t just look cool with the current design and styling, but also be cool with breathable fabrics to act as an air conditioner for your melon. Keeping a cool head is a good idea in any situation.
Once you own one hand-crafted suit that holds your shape as no other clothing has before, you will be looking for events and places to wear it. That new relationship you just made, getting to know your tailor will pay off as they also get to know you. Because they took that time, another new suit will be prepared for pick up rapidly.
Something a 3D scanner will never be able to do. Something AI can not offer. The human touch. The more we rely upon digital tools and services, the more important face-to-face interaction will be for our development as stable people. Forge new contacts now, renew distant ones and strengthen local family and friend interactions. This is a good time of the year for that message. Spend some time face-to-face with friends and family.
