Made to Measure Menswear in Nottingham | Gangotra 1916 vs Off the Peg
For discerning clients in Nottingham and the UK seeking luxury tailoring, a Gangotra 1916 Made to Measure suit offers unmatched precision, elegance and personalisation. Unlike off the peg options, our suits are crafted to your exact measurements, using premium fabrics and refined construction techniques.



When deciding between a Made to Measure suit and an off the peg suit, there are several key differences and advantages to consider.
Off the peg suits are mass produced in standard sizes and widely available in retail stores. While they’re often more affordable, they typically compromise on fabric quality and fit. For clients in Nottingham seeking made to measure suits, this option may require costly alterations and rarely delivers the elegance or comfort of a tailored garment.
Purchasing an off the peg suit is ideal for last minute needs, offering a convenient and quick solution. With such a vast range of styles and brands available, catering to different tastes and budgets, this option provides a broad variety. However, off the peg suits often lack higher quality fabrics and may not fit perfectly.
They frequently require alterations for a better fit, especially if you are taller, shorter, of a larger or thinner frame, or have a non-standard body shape. These alterations can increase the overall cost and time needed to get the outfit right, adding inconvenience to the whole shopping experience of buying a suit.



In contrast, Gangotra 1916’s Made to Measure tailoring from Nottingham uses refined fit blocks adjusted to your body, ensuring a superior silhouette and feel. Each suit is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, offering options such as full canvas or half canvas construction, working cuffs, luxury linings and custom embroidery, hallmarks of true craftsmanship.
These suits often utilise higher quality fabrics and construction methods, such as full canvas or half canvas construction, which enhance both the suits durability and appearance. Although Made to Measure suits are more expensive and take longer to produce than off the peg suits, the superior quality, guaranteed fit and extensive customisation options typically justify making the investment.
With a legacy of excellence in luxury menswear, Gangotra 1916 is proud to offer Made to Measure suits in Nottingham that reflect both heritage and innovation. Our Nottingham studio is trusted by grooms, professionals and style conscious clients who value quality, fit and individuality.
