Tailored for Western Australia: How Oscar Hunt Suits Perth’s Climate
There’s a lot to love about Western Australia; golden beaches, plenty of open space and an increasingly buzzy dining and cultural scene. However, the thought of wearing a traditional woollen suit in what is - broadly speaking - a fairly warm climate doesn’t hold much immediate appeal.
That is, until Oscar Hunt enters the scene. With experience in fitting suits for discerning gentlemen around the country, our team knows exactly how to craft the optimal piece for any climate. And that’s why this week, we’re delving into how our WA-based team knows how to craft the perfect custom suits for Perth.
101: Made-to-measure suits in Perth
The first thing to know is that made-to-measure is a different kind of shopping experience; one that allows the customer full control of the finished item based on not only their measurements but also their lifestyle and personal taste.
In practice, this means that you enter the Oscar Hunt Showroom with something close to a carte blanche in terms of what can be created within the world of tailoring.
The reason we say this is because getting the brief correct is crucial…
Perth suit fittings
If you’re getting a tailored suit made in Perth at Oscar Hunt, the first step is a fitting appointment where the team will start by getting to know both you and what you’re looking for. As part of this process, they’ll likely ask when and where you plan to wear your suit, as well as if it’s for a special occasion. The reason that this is important is that it influences the kinds of options the team then curates.
For example, if you are looking for a suit to wear year around in the Perth CBD, the team will factor this into the fabrics that they show you, likely leaning towards lighter woollen weaves that have the dual benefit of pulling moisture away from the body in Summer to keep you cool while keeping heat in during Winter.
The construction
In addition to the aesthetic elements of your custom suit in Perth, the team will also make more structural recommendations to ensure that you stay cool. This includes elements like considering a half-lined jacket as this maximises airflow through to the body. Similarly, they might suggest a slightly looser cut to ensure that the fabric isn’t clinging to you.
The finished product
Based on all of the above, our team of experts will ensure that your premium suiting in Perth is built to last and for (most) kinds of weather. To discover the range for yourself or to book a fitting, we invite you to swing by the showroom today.
