First of all, congratulations to you and your partner!

To create a suit for your wedding with Surmesur, it’s quite simple: we advise on a first meeting with a stylist in our showroom (this meeting is completely free, and lasts about 45 minutes). You can bring your partner then, no problem! The stylist will confirm with you what you want: colours, fit, style of your suit, your groomsmen’s suit, etc.

Afterwards, we organize a private event! The private event is really the time for you and your groomsmen to finalize the looks and take the measurements: the event is meant to be fun, you can bring food, alcohol, music! As soon as the measurements are taken, we take care of producing your suits and we contact you as soon as the clothes are ready to book a fitting session.At the fitting, we confirm the style and fit with the whole group – if adjustments are needed, they are included in the price!

Basically, the whole process can take up to 10 weeks, plus an additional 2 weeks for alterations. We suggest starting the process at least 3 months in advance of your big event.

  • Can I return or exchange my Surmesur outerwear?
    • No refund will be issued if the garment has been worn.
    • No refund will be issued if the garment was used excessively or inappropriately or if it has not been properly maintained.

  • Are our Surmesur outerwear garments guaranteed?
    • We can adjust your garment free of charge up to 6 months after purchase. After that, alterations will be subject to an additional fee. 

 

  • Can I buy them online or in-store?
    • For now, these garments are only available at your nearest Surmesur showroom. You can consult your stylist to design the outerwear you desire.

 

  • How quickly can I expect to receive my Surmesur outerwear?
    • Like our other made-to-measure garments, our outerwear collection takes between 4 and 6 weeks to make. That’s why it is essential to plan ahead so you don’t get caught out in the cold or rain!

 

  • What materials are used for quilted Surmesur garments?
    • You can choose between two different insulating technologies:

ECODOWN Recycled plastic insulation is a sustainable thermal insulation made entirely from post-consumer plastic bottles, offering a durable alternative to down feathers. This innovative approach not only reuses plastic bottles that would have become landfill waste but also conserves energy reserves for the future. Outerwear garments insulated with Ecodown can save up to 10 bottles per piece, contributing significantly to environmental sustainability.

NATIVA-certified sheep wool insulation is as environmentally friendly as recycled plastic insulation. It is unique because it offers superior warmth to polyester while retaining the same weight. This means it won’t affect the style and dimensions of your quilted garment, ensuring a smooth transition to a more sustainable alternative.

 

  • How do I care for my Surmesur outerwear to ensure its longevity?
    • To ensure the longevity of your Surmesur outerwear garments, don’t put them in the washing and dry machine; you have to dry clean them since they are made of wool. 

 

  • Is our outerwear collection suitable for women? 
    • For now, this range of garments is only available for the male gender, as the women’s pattern is not yet perfected at this level, but we may open up this range to women gender in the near future!

 

  • Is our outerwear collection suitable for every body shape?
    • For the time being, we can dress most body types. However, we recommend that you consult your stylist to ensure that we can indeed design a made-to-measure outerwear garment for you.
