- What is the process for ordering a custom suit?
We start with a consultation, followed by fabric selection, personalized measurements, fittings, and final delivery.
Most suits are completed within 4 – 6 weeks. That said, the process to make custom suits varies depending on the tailor grades clients choose. Call us for more info. - How long does it take to get a custom suit?
Most custom suits are completed within 4 – 6 weeks. However, if we have a fabric in-stock, it can take as fast as 3 weeks to get a custom suit.
- How long does a tailored suit take to complete?
Turnaround time typically ranges from 4 to 6 weeks, depending on fabric choice and season.
Rush orders are available (call for more info). - Can I choose my own fabrics and design features?
Absolutely! You can select everything from fabric to buttons to lining - with expert guidance at each step.
- How much should a custom suit cost?
In short, a custom suit should cost between $1,500 - $3,000 on average.
Any custom suit costing below $1,500 can be expected to be made using low-end fabrics, not enough measurements, no posture and stature readings, and only a few design options. - What is the difference between a $500 suit and a $5,000 suit? ($500 vs $5,000 custom suits)
A $500 suit is most likely machine made, created using cheap fabrics, and is made from a standard pattern made to fit the average Joe.
A $5,000 suit is most likely bespoke. Meaning that it was made specifically for you. Furthermore, the tailor/clothier took numerous measurements, created a unique pattern for you, was fully handmade, and multiple fittings were involved. - Where can I find custom suits near me?
Carl Axen Clothier serves the entire state of Florida, meaning that we will travel to any client living in any city or area within Florida.

1. Consultation
The first step when buying custom suits in Florida from Carl Axen Clothier is to discuss all the important details. We begin with a deep dive into your personal style, lifestyle, and goals. Whether you prefer classic formality or modern flair, we help you select from hundreds of fabrics and design options.
2. Getting Measured
At Carl Axen Clothier, we take precise body measurements, posture and stature readings, consider shoulder slope, and other anatomical details. As a result, we’ll create a custom and tailored suit that will “suit” you perfectly.
3. Creation Process
Our master tailors do the heavy lifting. We have a proprietary relationship with a tailor house in New York and overseas. Both tailor houses offer craftsmanship only a handful of tailor houses in the world can offer. Discuss with your clothier which tailor house fits you and your custom suits budget better.
