Uomo Collezioni offers a crash course in the art of Su Misura dressing

Only a handful of  best mens stores & tailors excel at Su Misura- suits & shirts entirely made by hand & especially for you & you alone to fit you like a second skin. For more than 10 years now, when it comes to Su Misura from Italy Uomo Collezioni in Moscow has been the house to which knowledgeable fans of this art have turned to. Surely in today’s modern economy & the dynamics of the fashion trade in Moscow, a lot of copycats have tried to copy & emulate Uomo Collezioni at its own tradecraft but with little success. Why?

«Its not easy to for newcomers in the trade to impart or transmit such knowledge of luxury fabrics & suit making to customers, clients who turn to su misura are the ones who truly appreciate the fine art involved in the making of their suits- we at Uomo Collezioni are truly dedicated to this kind of attention to details & the hard work involved in coming up with clothing items that satisfy the customer 100%, our customers design their own suits & we get the work done as professionally as we can» says Johnny Manglani, President of Uomo Collezioni in Moscow.

Uomo Collezioni boutiques are not for hurried people in search of a quick stop to have their measures taken & place a simple order. The stylish, luxury boutiques cater to men who are willing to dedicate at least a few hours in exploring fabrics, the precision cut of a suit & the fine details that separate a su misura suit from a readymade suit- details such as special linings, real working cuff holes, choice of buttons & many more details.

«We want to give a gentleman the pleasure of going to a place for two to three hours to understand the difference between 1 cloth & the other, to shop in utmost luxury & comfort while sipping a fine cognac or single malt. Of course, we live in a modern age & time which means that we also carry a fine choice of readymade suits, shirts, shoes & accessories from the best houses in Italy & France. A lot of customers prefer readymade to su misura» says Mike Shah, Director of Uomo Collezioni boutique at Lensinsky Prospekt 11.

Uomo Collezioni encourages its clients to explore alternatives when choosing cloths- to play with options & ideas while choosing from Super 130’s to Super 250’s wools, cashmeres, vicunas, silk & other complex blends. While many suit makers advice clients to select cloth only by color & patterns, here the client also is asked to feel the quality & weight of the fabric he is selecting because its very important that the fabric performs as per the client’s needs such as frequent high- flyers who prefer fabrics that do not wrinkle so easily.

Once a client has chosen the fabric, he is encouraged to become his own designer by choosing the lining he wants, the cut he likes, the buttons he prefers, the precision of the stitching and all the options that he wants in his suits & shirts.

After the measures are precisely taken, all data is electronically transferred to master tailors in Italy who create masterpieces within 4-6 weeks after which comes the final fitting in Moscow. Both clients & the makers derive maximum pleasures from the process & the finished products, for the clients especially from the knowledge that he played the biggest part in designing his own suit & that it's a rare piece indeed.
