Made-to-Measure Tailoring & Custom Suits
At P. Johnson we focus on traditionally constructed, beautifully made luxury suiting, fitted by highly trained staff with great taste for style. Whether a tuxedo, business and formal suiting, softer casual and lightweight tailoring, trousers, sports jackets, or overcoats, we have extensive options and a great depth of expertise.
What clients say about their first appointment
"Extremely pleasant experience getting measured and choosing the material. No judgement whatsoever. I've had two suits made here and wouldn't go anywhere else."
"I'd never done bespoke before. The first appointment took 45 minutes and I walked out knowing exactly what I wanted."
"No pressure at all. They listened, asked the right questions, and guided me through every choice."
Our Made-to-Measure Process
Book a Consultation
We work by appointment or walk-in across our showrooms in Sydney CBD, Paddington, Melbourne CBD, Armadale, Brisbane, New York and London.
We also run trunk shows throughout Australia, North America, and Asia, and can arrange private in-home or in-office appointments. Whatever is most convenient, we'll work around you.
Design & Fit
We carry a curated selection of the finest European, British and Japanese cloths; wools, silks, linens, cashmeres, and blends from the world's best mills.
Your fitter will guide you through fabric and construction choices, take a comprehensive set of measurements, and develop your individual pattern, which is kept on file for easy reordering. We take payment upfront to begin construction.
Review
Your garments are ready in 3-8 weeks depending on make and cloth selection.
Once they arrive, we contact you for a follow-up fitting to review the garments and address any adjustments. We have an in-house team of trained tailors to handle alterations promptly.
If you have a specific event date, tell us at the time of booking, express options are available.
Reorder
Once your pattern is on file, reordering is straightforward. With your measures we can make you suits, shirts, overcoats, casual tailoring and other pieces of leisurewear. Contact your fitter directly or our customer service team to re-order, there is no need to start from scratch unless your body changes significantly.
Custom Options & Pricing
We offer three made-to-measure tailoring options ranging from the fully hand-crafted and genuinely artisanal to the precise and uncompromising entry level delivered through state-of-the-art cutting and pattern-making technology.
Suiting
HAND-MADE ARTISINAL CONSTRUCTIONSartoria K
Our top-line artisanal custom suit is the epitome of lightweight tailoring.
The P. Johnson Sartoria K suit is entirely hand-made in our small atelier in Seoul, South Korea. A place regarded for its obsession with aesthetic perfection. The jacket feels inexplicably fresh and lively, moving with you rather than against you. The hand-work is exquisitely refined and precise, bringing the garment to life while remaining cleanly moulded and shaped to the body. This is a custom suit that will live in the mind as much as the wardrobe. Production is limited.
Fabrics are sourced as cut-lengths from the best weavers in the world - Italy, the UK, and Japan.

Traditional full floating canvas constructionPronto
A custom suit that will improve with age, the Pronto has become our most sought-after option.

Soft, precise, and beautifully made. The perfect choice for business suits, wedding suits, and casual tailoring, whether single or double-breasted.
We hold many lengths of Italian, British, and Japanese milled fabrics on site, and can access cut-lengths sent directly from a wide range of European weavers.
