WHAT IS OUR FUNDAMENTAL ADDED VALUE?
We always include alterations free of charge until the garment is perfect.

- Ready-to-Wear morning suit
- Made to Order Morning Suit

- Bespoke Morning Suit
1. READY TO WEAR JACKET (RTW)
WHAT IS IT AND WHAT FULL SUIT OPTIONS DO YOU HAVE IN STORE?
Collection of morning coats made with 100% Super S110 wool fabrics from the Italian company Vitale Barberis Canónico; made with a pattern calibrated and perfected by our team of pattern makers. In this case, it would be the shoulders of each client that define the appropriate size for each one; that is, we would try on the client - once the morning coat model was selected - different sizes and we would advise him on the one that would fit him perfectly around the shoulders. Once the correct size was chosen, the garment would be adjusted to the client's body measurements so that it would fit perfectly.
These are garments with very high quality finishes, such as our notched and spear-point lapels, interlined and non-fused interiors, practicable buttonholes, among many other details that will not go unnoticed.
As an important additional detail to emphasize, any arrangements and repairs required are included in the price and we do them in our own workshop, we do not outsource .
WHAT MODELS OF READY-MADE MORNING SUITS DO YOU HAVE AND WHAT IS THEIR PRICE?
We have 3 permanent models of tailcoats in our collection; these are:
- Medium Grey 3 Piece Tailcoat (tailcoat + waistcoat + trousers - all in medium grey). There are usually 3 shades of grey: charcoal grey, medium grey and light grey. Charcoal grey is only recommended for evening weddings, light grey is only recommended for daytime weddings, while medium grey is protocol-appropriate for both daytime and evening weddings - this is precisely why we offer the very nice medium grey. The price of this morning coat option would be €895.95 including garment adjustments.
- Navy Blue 3-Piece Morning Suit (tailcoat + waistcoat + trousers - all in navy blue). An increasingly popular option. The navy blue morning suit has been gaining ground over the classic morning suit and is a very successful choice for both grooms and groomsmen. The price of this morning suit option would be €895.95 with the garment adjustments included.
-
Classic 2-Piece Morning Suit (black frock coat + grey striped trousers). In this case, the waistcoat is not included, since, for this type of morning coat, the combinations of waistcoats selected by customers are many and varied. The price of this morning coat option would be €795.95 with adjustments included.
In addition, and on a variable basis each season, we make new morning suit models that are different from those in our permanent collection - that is, morning suits with a herringbone weave, with a Prince of Wales weave, etc. To check the availability of these models, you can write to us at contact@oldjeffrey.com .
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO GO TO OLD JEFFREY IF I CHOOSE THIS TYPE OF MIDWEAR?
If this is the option chosen, we would recommend coming to Old Jeffrey at least 3 weeks in advance, as once we have adjusted the garment in store, it will take us approximately 1 week to work on it.
After the week of alterations, we will call you to try on the morning coat. If any additional adjustments are required due to the appearance of small wrinkles and in order to "fine-tune" the garment, we will need another week to make the garment perfect.
For this type of tailcoat, a single fitting is usually enough, however, we always recommend coming to see us with that extra time in case any additional adjustments are needed.
2. JACKET MADE TO ORDER (MTO)
WHAT IS IT?
In this case, we want to introduce a New intermediate service between tailoring and custom-made clothing and we think it might be interesting.
That is, starting from the pattern of our ready-made morning suits (RTW), we offer the option of making a new morning suit from scratch but, in this case, choosing any fabric from among the more than 3,000 available that we put at your disposal from the most reputable Italian and English houses. This is an ideal service for:
- Customers who are suitable for our tailoring pattern but who are nevertheless looking to choose a specific combination of fabrics with which to make their new morning suit.
- Customers with a significant size difference between the frock coat and trousers . In this case, they may request that the frock coat and trousers be made separately and in the appropriate size.
At the same time, since it is a morning coat that is made from scratch and to order, it is possible to choose details related to the design of the same, that is, for example mother-of-pearl or horn buttons, a different lining, embroidering your initials on the inside of the jacket or frock coat, etc.
Once the finished morning suit has been received, the fitting process is the same as in the previous case. It is sent to our own workshop to be perfected and, obviously, at no additional cost.
The case study of this process would be as follows:
- Pattern test and size detection . We would call you to our tailor shop to try on our pattern and, based on this, we would detect your size, separately, for the frock coat, trousers and waistcoat. Based on this sizing, we would define the adjustments to be made to the pattern and, based on these, we would make a new morning coat from scratch for you.
- Fabric selection . In this case, the fabric would determine the final price of the morning suit. In this case, we have a large number of fabric references in store.
WHAT MTO FASHION JACKET OPTIONS DO I HAVE AND WHAT IS THE PRICE?
There are endless options! As for the price of made-to-measure morning suits, and as we have had the opportunity to comment in the previous point, it would be approximately €1,150 for the 2-piece morning suit (tailored jacket + trousers) and €1,450 for the 3-piece morning suit (tailored jacket + trousers + waistcoat).
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO GO TO OLD JEFFREY IF I CHOOSE THIS TYPE OF MIDWEAR?
If this option is chosen, we would recommend coming to Old Jeffrey 2 months in advance, as it would take 5 weeks to make the garment from scratch and, once made, we would arrange an appointment with you at Old Jeffrey to try it on. There is the possibility of shortening the time depending on each case and under specific requests - in this case, you would have the opportunity to discuss this directly with our tailoring team.
In any case, we recommend, whenever possible, organizing the process at least 2 months in advance in order to ensure a smoother journey and, above all, to enjoy the process.
Once the garment is made, we would use the first fitting to detect any wrinkles or, on the contrary, if the garment was perfect. If any adjustments were required due to the appearance of small wrinkles and in order to "fine-tune" the garment, we would need a week to carry out the adjustments.
Typically, one "round" of adjustments will almost always be sufficient, however, we always recommend coming to see us with that extra time in case any additional adjustments are needed.
3. JACKET MADE TO MEASURE (MTM)
We are moving forward with our Made to Measure tailoring service, where our tailors will take measurements with the help of a morning suit called a "witness" which we have digitized on our central computer and we will proceed to make the anatomical modifications, modifying that base pattern so that it becomes the exclusive pattern for our client.
In this type of tailcoat, absolutely everything can be customized, the shape and width of the lapels, the model of the pockets, the model of the pants and waistcoat, in addition to choosing all the trimmings, such as the lining, the terry cloth, the buttons and the thread with which said buttons are sewn, as well as embroidering the initials on the inside of the tailcoat.
WHAT MTM MATCHING JACKET OPTIONS DO I HAVE AND WHAT IS THE PRICE?There are endless options! As for the price of made-to-measure morning suits, and as we have had the opportunity to comment in the previous point, it would be approximately €1,500 for the morning suit in 2-piece format (tailcoat + trousers) and €1,850 for the morning suit in 3-piece format (tailcoat + trousers + waistcoat).
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO GO TO OLD JEFFREY IF I CHOOSE THIS TYPE OF MIDWEAR?
Same as Made to Order (MTO) morning suit.
4. BESPOKE MIDWEAR
As a final step, we are proud to have our Bespoke tailoring line, also known as Handcrafted Tailoring .
In this case, our tailors would take anatomical measurements directly from the client and design the morning suit with the purest details of traditional bespoke tailoring, that is, hand-made buttonholes and perforations, fully interlined interior without any type of glue or fusion, cupro or viscose linings, plain or printed, etc.
For this type of tailoring we require at least 3 months to have the garments finished since, once we take the measurements, we will manually design the client's pattern in our workshop and, subsequently, we will carry out the manual cutting of the garment.
After the cutting process, the pieces will be assembled using basting and loose stitches and a first test will be done, which we call "plumbing"; at this point, we will have the skeleton of the garment - sleeveless in the case of the frock coat and unfinished lengths and widths in the case of the trousers and vest.
Once the "fit" test has been carried out, it is our turn: we will work in the workshop in order to correct details, add the sleeves and finish making the garment.
The customer would then be called in for a second "fine-tuning" fitting and, if there were any additional small details to be corrected, a third final fitting would be done before delivering the perfect garment to the customer.
WHAT BESPOKE MIDWEAR OPTIONS DO I HAVE AND WHAT IS THE PRICE?
In this particular case we work with a prior budget that will be evaluated and notified to the client after the information appointment in which he/she tells us what design and tailoring requirements he/she is looking for. In any case, the price for this type of 3-piece garment made in a 100% handcrafted way starts at €4350.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MADE TO MEASURE AND BESPOKE SERVICE ?
The difference between both methodologies lies mainly in the tailoring process after taking the client's measurements; we explain this below.
- Pattern creation after taking the client's measurements . In the case of Made to Measure tailoring, to obtain the client's pattern, we use samples with a base pattern against which we make corrections and obtain the client's final pattern. On the other hand, in the Bespoke tailoring service, the measurements are taken directly and the pattern is obtained manually and is carried out by means of calculations and generation of curvatures based on tailor's rules.
-
Fabric cutting . For Made to Measure tailoring, the pattern obtained for each client is digitalized and the fabric scrap chosen for making the garment is cut very precisely by a cutting machine. On the contrary, in the Bespoke service, our tailor will cut the garment manually with special tailor's scissors for this purpose.
- Garment assembly . In the case of Made To Measure tailoring, our sewing team is made up of 10 people who will carry out the final making of the garment. For this case, each member of the team will specialize in a part of the garment (sleeves, front, etc.) and, finally, the garment is assembled together. In this process, the sewing will be carried out in a mixed way, that is, long stitches with a sewing machine and details finished by hand. On the other hand, in the case of Bespoke tailoring, the entire making will be carried out manually by our specialized tailor.
