Research; CAD/CAM

CAD/CAM
Using CAD/CAM to draw and grade patterns is a much quicker way than doing it by hand, especially on a large scale. It would therefore be possible to have basic block patterns in CAD which you could input measurements and it would automatically change the pattern shape to suit each body.

Proper Suit: Measurements and specs go to China where pieces are cut using auto-CAD and a laser cutting system. Shipping trade to companies where labour is cheaper brings down the overall cost of the suit, however these suits don’t have the precise details that bespoke suits have, such as hand stitched lapels and functioning buttonholes on the cuffs, though most men probably do not bother about these details anyway. The additions that Proper Suit offer are a rubberised strip in the waistband of the trousers to help keep the shirt tucked in and extra fabric sewn around the inside of the hems of the trousers to avoid wear.
