FAQs

Yes. Once the Groom creates the group order, we can generate unique checkout links for each groomsman. They can pay individually and input their own shipping addresses.

We specialize in this. Since we use a digital-first model:

• The Groom sets up a "Wedding Party" profile with the chosen fabrics and styles.
• Each groomsman can log in from their location (Sydney, Perth, London) and submit their own measurements using our video guide.
• Pro Tip: For peace of mind, we recommend groomsmen visit a local alteration tailor for a "measurement only" service (usually $20-$30) to get pro numbers, then input those into our system.
• We collate the orders to ensure all suits are cut from the same fabric batch (dye lot), ensuring perfect color matching.

This is the most common question we get! We recommend:

• Select your fabric and pay for your order early (4+ months out) to lock in the price and ensure the fabric stock is reserved.
• Delay measurement submission until roughly 10–12 weeks before the wedding. This captures your "new" body shape while still leaving enough production time.
• Final Tweak: If you lose more weight in the final 8 weeks, our Perfect Fit Guarantee covers the cost of local alterations to take the suit in further.

The Australian summer demands breathability.

• Linen-Wool Blends: This is our top recommendation. You get the breathability and texture of linen, but the wool content prevents the suit from looking like a crumpled mess after an hour.
• High-Twist Wool (Fresco): An open-weave wool that lets the breeze through. It resists wrinkling brilliantly, making it perfect for standing at the altar in 30°C heat.
• Cotton/Seersucker: For winery or beach weddings. Colors like Stone, Sage, or Beige are trending heavily for 2026 and reflect sunlight better than dark Navy.

Distinction should be subtle but deliberate. We recommend "coordination over uniformity".

• Texture: Wear a velvet jacket (e.g., in Bottle Green or Midnight Blue) while your groomsmen wear classic wool suits.
• The Waistcoat: Wear a Double-Breasted Waistcoat (with a scooped neckline) while your groomsmen wear a Single-Breasted version. This is a classic, elegant distinction.
• Lapels: Opt for a Peak Lapel or Shawl Collar for yourself, and a Notch Lapel for the groomsmen.
• Accessories: Wear a self-tie bow tie (essential for the groom!) while groomsmen can wear ties or pre-tied bows. A larger or different colored boutonniere also helps.

We recommend a 3-Step timeline to ensure a stress-free experience:

• 6 months out: Book your initial consultation (or start browsing fabrics online). This is the time to finalize your color palette and the "look" for your groomsmen.
• 3-4 months out: Submit final measurements and place the order. This provides a generous buffer for production and shipping.
• 4-6 weeks out: Receive the suit. This timing allows for a final "fit check." If you've lost weight (common for grooms!), this gives you plenty of time to use our alteration guarantee to nip in the waist or hem the trousers locally. Note: While we can produce suits much faster (often in 3-4 weeks), we strongly advise this buffer for weddings to account for any unforeseen logistics.

This is a common point of confusion in Australia.

• Waistcoat: This is the formal, sleeveless third piece of a suit, tailored to fit snugly over your shirt and ending just below the waistband of your trousers. It usually has a silk or lining-fabric back. This is the correct term for wedding attire.
• Vest: In Australia, "vest" can often refer to a casual padded garment (like a puffer vest) or an undershirt (singlet). While some use "vest" to mean waistcoat, we strictly use Waistcoat to avoid any confusion and ensure your formal look is on point.

In Australia, the traditional and formally correct term is Dinner Suit. However, the American term Tuxedo is widely understood and accepted. Both refer to the same garment: a suit distinguished by satin or grogram facings on the jacket lapels, buttons, and a satin stripe down the trouser leg. If your invitation says "Black Tie," you require a Dinner Suit.

While the terms are often used interchangeably in the industry, there is a technical difference:

• Bespoke traditionally involves creating a brand-new pattern from scratch for your specific body, requiring multiple "baste" fittings (where the suit is half-made) and taking months to complete. Brands like Woolcott St or The Bespoke Corner specialize in this high-touch, labor-intensive process.
• Made-to-Measure (MTM), which is the standard for Dunnio, InStitchu, and Hockerty, involves taking a master pattern and adapting it to your unique measurements. This allows for a near-perfect fit and extensive customization (lapels, linings, fabrics) but at a much more accessible price point and faster turnaround time (typically 4–6 weeks). For 99% of wedding parties, MTM offers the ideal balance of fit, quality, and coordination.

Grass stains are protein/dye based. Treat them by soaking the hem in a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:1) or using an enzyme-based detergent. Gently agitate with a soft brush (like a toothbrush) before washing. Avoid hot water until the stain is gone, as heat can set it.

Do not rub! Rubbing pushes the pigment deeper.

• Blot: Gently dab with a clean white cloth to absorb liquid.
• Salt/Soda: Cover the stain with table salt (to absorb moisture) or dab with club soda (carbonation lifts the stain).
• Dish Soap: A mixture of dish soap and hydrogen peroxide can be effective for stubborn stains, but test on a hidden area first.

Steam is your best friend. Do not iron the outside of the suit directly as it can cause "shining" (flattening the fibers).

• Hang and Steam: Use a handheld steamer to relax the fibers.
• Shower Trick: Hang the suit in the bathroom while taking a hot shower; the ambient steam will help wrinkles fall out.
• Pressing Cloth: If you must iron, turn the suit inside out or use a clean cotton cloth between the iron and the fabric.
