Custom suits, built for your body.
Every Cardero suit is made to measure from 21 measurements taken in a private appointment and kept on file. The chest, the waist, the shoulders, the sleeve, all cut to your numbers rather than guessed from a size chart.
Reserve Your Appointment21 measurements, kept on file.
We take 21 measurements and store them permanently. Your first suit is built to them. Every order after pulls from the same file and improves on the last, so your second suit is faster and more precise than your first.
There is no commission and no rack. The advice you get is the advice that makes you look right.

The Cardero Line
Every piece built to your twenty-one measurements. Starting prices below.
If you have ever felt this, off the rack is the reason.
Most men spend years blaming their body for how a suit fits. The body is rarely the problem. A rack suit is cut for an average, and the further you sit from that average, the worse it gets.
The jacket pulls at the button
The shoulders never sit right
The waist drowns you
The trousers bind at the thigh
Off the rack, then made to measure.
A suit that fits correctly does not cost more than one that does not. It is just built differently. 21 measurements, five to six weeks, and a fit confirmed before the full order ships. Drag the handle and see for yourself.
Transparent pricing.
Clear, upfront pricing with no surprises. You can price your own build before you ever book.
A sharp, durable everyday suit, made to your measurements.
A finer wool with more drape and a softer hand.
Our finest cloth, with the most refined finish and feel.
Italian-milled wool, our most exclusive cloth.
A garment, and a plan.
Within 24 hours of your appointment you get a written style profile: the colours that suit your complexion, the gaps in your wardrobe, and a 12-month order to build in. It is yours to keep whether you order or not.
Production takes five to six weeks. If anything needs adjusting when it arrives, we cover the cost and have it handled locally.
If your body does not match a size chart.
Athletic builds, broad shoulders, a bigger chest with a smaller waist. These are the bodies off-the-rack fails, and the ones made-to-measure was built for. Read more in our guide to suits for athletic builds.
Common questions.
How much does a custom suit cost?
A Cardero suit starts at $899 in a wool blend, $1,299 in Super 120 wool, and $1,699 in Super 150, each built to your 21 measurements with the first appointment, shipping, and any alterations included and no commission. Price your exact build on our pricing page, or book a free first appointment and we will match the cloth to your budget and timeline.
How long does a custom suit take?
Production is five to six weeks from your order. A reorder takes seconds to place, since your cloth and measurements are on file, and ships in roughly four weeks.
How is this different from off the rack?
Off-the-rack is sized then altered. We build the pattern from your 21 measurements, so the chest, waist, shoulders, and trousers are cut to your numbers, not guessed from a size chart.
Do you do alterations?
If anything needs adjusting after delivery, we cover the cost and have it handled by a trusted local tailor, and your measurements are updated on file.
Is the first appointment free?
Yes. It is free, private, and runs 45 to 90 minutes, with no commission and no pressure to buy anything that day.
The door is open.
Reserve a private appointment at the studio closest to you and we will take it from there.
