What is the minimum order for suits and blazers?

Tailoring starts from 150 units per style in our group. The Directory shows each factory’s MOQ, so you can see who fits a smaller first run.

How much does tailoring cost to make in Portugal?

The cost calculator starts tailored trousers at €18–32 per piece ex-factory at 300–500 units. Tailoring is its “very complex” tier, which multiplies the base by 1.55. Blazers and suits are quoted on your tech pack, because canvas and cloth move the price most.

What construction can Portuguese factories do?

Half-canvas construction in wool suiting is the standard in this category. Put the build you want in the tech pack so every factory quotes the same thing.

How long does tailoring take?

Plan for 8 to 10 weeks of production, after fit samples. Tailoring usually needs more than one fit round, so brief us well ahead of your season.

Which certifications do tailoring factories hold?

SA8000 (social audit) and ISO 9001 (quality management) are the common ones in this category. If a certificate is a hard requirement, say it upfront.

Where it’s made

Where tailoring is made in Portugal
