Langley is where Cardero started and where every order still passes through. The studio is a private room at 19951 80a Ave in Willoughby, ten minutes from Walnut Grove, Murrayville and Brookswood, and close enough to Fort Langley that most grooms bring the whole party in on a Saturday morning. We dress business owners, realtors working the Willoughby build-out, grooms, and men who want the one suit they will wear to everything, built properly the first time. Your 21 measurements are kept on file for easy re-ordering, so the second order is a conversation about cloth and nothing else.

Big and tall suits, measured and cut to you.
If you have been driving from Langley or Surrey to a big and tall store in Vancouver and coming home with the nearest size, the private room at 19951 80a Ave is the shorter trip and the better result. There is no chart in it. Chest, stomach, neck, jacket length, sleeve, rise and inseam are each measured and cut on their own, so the jacket closes over the stomach without pulling, covers the seat, and the trousers sit at the waist and stay there.
There is no upper limit. Our Owner and Founder, Derek Burbidge, has measured 76-inch chests and 22-inch necks, and the suit is built to those numbers. Suits start at $899, and the first appointment at our Langley studio is complimentary.
Made-to-measure suits, cut from your numbers.
A made-to-measure suit is not an off-the-rack size that gets taken in afterward. At our Langley studio we take 21 measurements and the pattern is drafted from them, so the shoulders, the chest, the waist and the trousers start out as yours.
Most Langley clients start in a wool blend at $899 or Super 120 wool at $1,299. The blend with 3% stretch, at $1,049, is our most popular book. Ordering more than one piece? We make one suit and one shirt first on a rush, at our cost, and confirm the fit before the rest is cut.
Fort Langley, a winery, or a backyard on 216th.
Whatever the venue, the groom should not be the one in a rental. A wedding suit from our Langley studio is built to you, fitted, and yours to keep. If the day calls for black tie, any cloth in our books can be made as a tuxedo for $75 more, including midnight blue.
Around four months before the date is the most relaxed runway for a Langley groom, and it is not a deadline. The suit is made in about six weeks, so two or three months out still works well, and we rush when a date is close. But to avoid any last-minute rushing, aim for four months.

Custom dress shirts start at $199 and are measured at the same appointment as your suit.

Alterations on our suits are on us.
We are a made-to-measure studio, not an alterations shop, so we do not take in clothing bought somewhere else. What we do cover is everything we make. When your suit arrives we send a fitting form and reach out personally, and anything that needs adjusting in the first 30 days goes to a local tailor at our cost. Your file is updated afterward, so the next order starts from numbers we know are right.
A private room, one adviser, no floor.

Common questions.
Where is the Langley studio?
The Westlund Building, 19951 80a Ave in Willoughby, Langley. It is a private room by appointment only, not a shop floor, so there is nobody to walk past and nobody on commission.
How much is a custom suit in Langley?
A Cardero suit starts at $899 in a wool blend, $1,299 in Super 120 wool, and $1,699 in Super 150. Each is built to your 21 measurements, with the first appointment, shipping and any alterations included. Price your exact build on our pricing page.
Which parts of Langley do you serve?
All of it, and the surrounding area: Willoughby, Yorkson, Walnut Grove, Fort Langley, Murrayville, Brookswood, Aldergrove, and across the line into Cloverdale and Clayton.
Do you make wedding suits for Fort Langley weddings?
Yes, and it is one of the things we do most. The suit is built to you and yours to keep afterward, and we can coordinate the whole party, each man to his own measurements. Around four months ahead is ideal, and sooner still works.
How long does a custom suit take?
Production is five to six weeks from your order. For a wedding or an event, come in around four months ahead, and sooner still works.
Are you a tailor in Langley? Do you do alterations?
We are a made-to-measure studio, not an alterations shop, so we do not alter clothing bought elsewhere. On anything we make, alterations in the first 30 days after delivery are handled by a local tailor at our cost.
Do you make custom dress shirts in Langley?
Yes. Custom dress shirts start at $199 and are measured at the same appointment as your suit, with the collar sized to your neck and each sleeve cut to its own arm.
Where is the best place to buy a men's suit near Langley?
It depends whether you want to buy a suit off a rack or have one built for you. Our Langley studio is private and by appointment, your 21 measurements are taken and kept on file, nobody works on commission, and the first appointment is complimentary. If you want the suit cut to your body instead of altered to fit, that is the difference.
Is Cardero a suit store or a tailor?
Neither, exactly. There is no shop floor and no rack to buy from, and we are not an alterations shop. We are a made-to-measure studio: your suit is cut from your own 21 measurements in the cloth you choose. Alterations after delivery are covered and handled by a trusted local tailor.
Do you dress athletic builds and big and tall men in Langley?
Yes, and it is the most common reason men come to us. Off-the-rack sizing assumes an average build, so a heavy chest, broad shoulders, or a longer torso ends up fighting the jacket. Cutting from 21 measurements solves that at the pattern stage instead of at the alterations bench.
