Ofbari Bespoke Tailoring

Our Master Tailor has honed has craft for over 25 years and uses individually drafted patterns, skillful craftsmanship, exquisite hand stitching, and responsibly sourced materials to create timeless garments for sartorial connoisseurs from around the globe.

THE TRUE-BESPOKE DIFFERENCE

Bespoke tailoring accounts for many more aspects that make a dramatic difference to how well the suit fits, such as shoulder angles, sleeve angles, posture, shoulder width & so much more. Our Master Bespoke Tailor draws a unique paper pattern by hand for each garment, whereas a Made-to-Measure tailor would reuse an existing pattern, only making basic modifications for each garment.


We take over 25 body measurements to create each pattern, and typically have 3-5 fittings before the semi-finished garment can be approved by the client. Our Bespoke suits require anywhere from eight weeks up to 4 months, to be hand crafted, and are never shipped abroad for any part of the process. We offer thousands of fabric choices with endless customization possibilities on styles, buttons, linings and internal construction.
