Christopher Turner
Couture

Our goal is to design a modern wardrobe that fulfills all of a client's lifestyle needs.  Designs created exclusively for them, in models created to flatter there physique.  We find this to be one of the few indulgences that lead to enhanced self-respect and an elevated public persona.  Proper dress will always convey respect in business affairs; proper dress will provide a similar measure of respect in one’s personal life. ​

​

Our introductory appointment is typically thirty minutes in length with the objective of determining if the product and services are a fit for the client.  If we decide to go forward, the initial working session is 1½ hours in duration; this includes the development of a database of preferences and lifestyle requirements along with an anatomical evaluation and detailed measurements.  Cloth selections are made from our fabric library.  A personal pattern is then created using our state-of-the-art technology, and each cloth is hand-cut by a master cutter.  The resulting garment is fully hand-tailored, with 32 individual pressing stages throughout the cycle to ensure that the cloth is softly molded into the client’s physical form.  This same process is utilized for shirts, echoing that of our suits, trousers, jackets, formalwear, and outerwear.  Christopher Turner Couture garments are completed on average within 12 weeks. This process involves three fittings; a muslin fitting, a forward fitting,  and a blessing fitting where final enhancements are made.  The finished garment, complete with handmade buttonholes on the sleeves, is delivered in another five to ten days. CTC Couture garments are completed on average within 8 weeks. This process involves an initial fitting, and then a final fitting is arranged where final enhancements are made. The finished garment, complete with handmade buttonholes on the sleeves, is delivered in another five to ten days.

​

This differs dramatically from the longstanding benchmark in the custom field, bespoke suits from London; these require at least three fittings with a production cycle from order to completion often extending to several months.  There is rampant misuse of the word custom in America.  The industry standard for this process is made-to-measure, which, even for a dominant brands is a series of simple adjustments from a stock size.  Our service requires a series of detailed measurements that are utilized to crate a one-of-a-kind pattern; one in which Christopher is chief architect to ensure that we create a model that is the most flattering possible for each client.
