MTO

MTO Program

MTO is an acronym for Made to Order. Made to order shoes is an area that Ahmed's Tailor takes great pride in specializing in.

So what is MTO exactly?

Well for one thing it is not bespoke suit making which it is often confused with.

Made to order cloths allow you to create the garment you envision using existing models. Depending on the maker you can choose the pre-established model you would like to have your garment made on as well as the fabric e.g., wool/cotton, color, style and size.

In contrast, with bespoke suits making you will have a model made from a drawing and measurements of your body, which will in turn become your unique suit. You will also have a greater selection of options available to you in terms of design and materials. Please see previous blog for more details.

So what is the best choice? Bespoke or MTO?

Bespoke suit making is done directly with the tailor assistance and guidance. This is a process that takes up to 6-8 weeks to complete and is generally much more costly.

MTO suits/shirts are made to your specifications with a minimal  charge, which varies by maker, as does the time it takes to make the garment, normally anywhere from six to eight weeks again depending on the maker.

Ninety nine point nine percent of the population wear suits that are made from a predefined model, which are not made for a specific body. Unless you have a specific physical need you should be able to find a model that will fit your feet comfortably.

What Tailor offer MTO suits?

Ahmed's Tailor currently takes orders year round for MTO suits made by multiple suites makers.  That may change in the future and we will let you know if it does.
