FAQ
Questions,
answered plainly.
Everything you need to know before your first conversation with us. If something isn't covered here, we are always happy to speak directly.
We come to you. Rivmont is a fully mobile bespoke service — we travel to your home, office, or wherever is most convenient, anywhere in the country. There is no showroom to visit, no appointment to commute to. The fitting happens on your terms, in your space.
Both begin with a private fitting at your location. Both result in a garment built from scratch, for your body alone. The difference lies in how it is constructed.
Bespoke means every pattern is hand-drafted by a single craftsman — no block pattern, no machine involvement in cutting or construction. Made-to-Measure means your measurements inform a custom pattern, cut and constructed through a combination of computer-aided precision and skilled hand-finishing. The intention is the same. The method — and the investment — differs.
We are transparent about this distinction because we believe the industry owes it to clients to be honest about what these words actually mean.
Yes — and it is some of the work we take most seriously. We dress grooms, groomsmen, brides, bridesmaids, and parents for the full occasion. Each garment is fitted individually, coordinated as a whole. For large parties, we recommend beginning as early as possible to allow time for every member of the group.
As early as you can. A Bespoke garment requires 10–14 weeks in standard production; a Made-to-Measure garment takes 4–6 weeks. If event styling is involved — coordinating a full party, multiple fittings, extended styling — we recommend 6 months for Bespoke and 3 months for Made-to-Measure. Rush service is available when timelines are tight, though additional fees apply.
We begin by listening. Before any measuring takes place, we discuss your lifestyle, the occasion, your preferences in silhouette and detail, and how you want to feel in the finished garment. From there, we take your measurements and present fabric options together — without pressure, at your pace.
Every Rivmont garment follows a three-stage process.
Consultation Fitting
Measurements are taken, fabric is selected, and all design decisions are made together. This is where the garment begins.
Verification Fitting
For Bespoke clients, a basted try-on fitting confirms every line before final construction begins. For Made-to-Measure, a verification fitting is included as needed.
Perfection Fitting
The final fitting with the completed garment. Any last refinements are made before delivery. We do not consider the garment finished until you are satisfied.
Pricing varies by service, fabric, and design. Final pricing is confirmed after consultation. Starting points are as follows:
Made-to-Measure
Suits, jackets, trousers, formal wear, and bridal.
Bespoke
Fully hand-drafted and hand-constructed garments.
MTM Shirts
Made-to-measure shirts in fine cottons and linens.
Overcoats & other garments
Pricing depends on construction and fabric selection.
Payment is required before production begins. For clients who prefer to split the investment, we accommodate a 50% deposit to initiate the order, with the remaining balance due before delivery. Please raise this during your consultation and we will arrange accordingly.
Yes — and this is a growing part of what we do. Rivmont Partners is our network for independent stylists and agencies who want to offer bespoke and made-to-measure services to their own clients, with Rivmont handling production and fulfillment. If you are a stylist looking for a trusted production partner, we would like to speak with you.
Yes. We work with businesses building custom wardrobe programs, uniform lines, and private label garments. This work is handled through a separate channel — please reach out directly and we will connect you with the right team.
Reach out through our contact page and let us know you are inquiring about a partnership or collaboration. We will respond directly and take it from there.
Because every Rivmont garment is built from scratch for one person, cancellations are not possible once production has begun. Materials are sourced and work commences immediately after the order is confirmed. We encourage you to raise any questions or uncertainties during the consultation — we are always happy to take the time needed before we begin.
We stand behind our work. If minor adjustments are needed after delivery, we will assist directly — either at a follow-up fitting or by connecting you with a trusted local tailor if geography makes a return visit impractical. Our goal is a garment that fits correctly and lasts — and we do not consider the job finished until that standard is met.
Reach out directly. We would rather speak with you than leave a question unanswered.
