Bespoke Tailoring Melbourne: This Week’s Standout Custom Garments

At Houndstooth Tailors, we specialise in creating truly personalised menswear - garments crafted with precision, individuality, and world-class cloth. This week, our workroom and fitting lounge saw an incredible range of bespoke commissions, from luxurious flannel tailoring to one-of-a-kind show piece.

Below is a closer look at some of the most exciting garments we recently fitted, each showcasing the artistry and versatility of Melbourne’s bespoke tailoring.

A One-of-a-Kind Bespoke Shooting Vest in Bateman Ogden Tweed

One of the most talked-about pieces this week was a bespoke shooting vest crafted from Bateman Ogden Tweed. This unique garment combines traditional British sporting heritage with modern tailoring techniques, making it a rare standout in any wardrobe.

The cloth, a rich green tweed with a subtle check that offers durability, warmth, and undeniable character. Paired with a suede contrasting shooting panel we quilted and finished off with some of our branding. This vest embodies true craftsmanship.

For clients searching for custom tweed garments, or something genuinely unique, pieces like this highlight exactly what bespoke menswear can achieve.

Dior-Inspired Double Lapel Tuxedo - Modern Elegance in Black

On the formalwear front, we fitted an exceptional Dior-inspired double lapel tuxedo. Featuring an architectural layered lapel, this design sends a classic black tie into something striking, refined, and ultra-modern.

Perfect for weddings, galas, and red-carpet-level events, this tuxedo blends timeless tailoring with high-fashion detailing. It’s proof that bespoke tuxedos can offer far more personality and luxury than any off-the-rack option.

The Casual Overshirt Suit - Smart, Comfortable, Contemporary

For clients wanting a relaxed yet sophisticated look, our overshirt-style suit continues to be one of the most popular made-to-measure choices. Soft construction, minimal padding, and a clean silhouette make it ideal for smart casual dressing, travel, or everyday refinement.

This garment hits the sweet spot between comfort and style. A perfect example of how modern menswear and bespoke tailoring can work together seamlessly.

Fox Brothers Flannel Three-Piece Suit - The Ultimate Winter Classic

A highlight of the week was a beautifully cut three-piece suit in Fox Brothers flannel. Fox Brothers is world-renowned for producing some of the finest flannel fabrics, and this suit demonstrated everything the mill does best: rich colour, soft texture, and impeccable drape.

Ideal for winter weddings, corporate events, or anyone who value timeless wardrobe staples, Fox flannel offers warmth and sophistication in equal measure.

If you’re searching for luxury tailored suits in Melbourne, this cloth remains one of the best investments available.

Holland & Sherry Herringbone Tweed — Understated Luxury

We also fitted a classic piece in Holland & Sherry herringbone tweed. This fabric blends subtle pattern with exceptional texture, creating a garment that feels refined without being overly formal.

Herringbone tweed is perfect for clients wanting a versatile suit that transitions effortlessly from business to weekend wear. As always, Holland & Sherry delivers durability, depth, and elegance.
