Why Choose Peter Panos for Your Custom Suit in San Francisco?

- One-on-one with Peter, every time. You’ll never be handed off to an associate. Peter personally handles your measurements, fabric consultation, and every fitting appointment.
- True bespoke construction. Your suit is built from scratch using a pattern made specifically for your body, not adjusted from an off-the-shelf template. Learn more about what bespoke really means.
- World-class European fabrics. Our mill relationships give you access to cloths that simply aren’t available in retail stores.
- Style guidance included. Not sure which lapel, lining, or button style suits you? Peter will walk you through every decision so the end result reflects your personality, not just your measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Men’s Custom Suits in San Francisco
What is the difference between a bespoke suit and a made-to-measure suit?
A bespoke suit is built entirely from scratch using a unique pattern drafted specifically for your body. A made-to-measure suit starts from a pre-existing base pattern that is then adjusted to your measurements. Bespoke offers the highest level of customization, fit, and craftsmanship available in menswear.
How long does it take to get a custom suit made?
The typical turnaround for a Peter Panos custom suit is 6–8 weeks from your initial consultation to final delivery. This timeline includes fabric sourcing, pattern drafting, construction, and multiple fitting appointments. If you have a specific event or deadline, we recommend contacting us as early as possible.
How many fittings will I need?
Most clients come in for two to three fittings during the construction process. Each appointment allows Peter to make precise adjustments so that the final garment fits exactly as it should. The number of fittings may vary depending on the complexity of the commission and individual fit requirements.
What fabric should I choose for my custom suit?
The right fabric depends on how and when you plan to wear the suit. For year-round business wear, a mid-weight wool from mills like Vitale Barberis Canonico or Holland & Sherry is an excellent choice. For summer events, a lighter fresco or linen blend works well. For formal occasions, a finer Super 120s or Super 150s wool delivers an exceptional drape and sheen. Peter will guide you through the selection based on your lifestyle and preferences.
Do you make custom suits for weddings?
Absolutely. Wedding commissions are one of our specialties. We create custom wedding suits and custom tuxedos in San Francisco designed to complement your partner’s attire and reflect your personal style. Because the process takes 6–8 weeks, we recommend reaching out at least two to three months before your wedding date.
Can you alter a suit I already own?
Yes. In addition to custom commissions, Peter Panos offers professional jacket and blazer alterations, pants alterations, and wedding suit alterations. Whether it’s taking in a jacket, hemming trousers, or adjusting the shoulders, precise alterations can dramatically improve the way an existing suit fits and feels.
Do I need an appointment to visit Peter Panos?
Yes, we work by appointment to ensure every client receives Peter’s full, undivided attention. To schedule your consultation at our San Francisco studio, call us at 415-483-9698 or visit our contact page.
What makes Peter Panos different from other tailors in San Francisco?
Every client works directly with Peter not an assistant or junior tailor. Peter brings decades of bespoke tailoring expertise to every commission, combined with access to world-class European fabrics and an unwavering commitment to fit. The result is a suit that reflects your individuality in a way that off-the-rack and even most made-to-measure options simply cannot achieve.
