Swann Paris is a Parisian made-to-measure clothing house founded in 2008. We cut shirts, jackets and suits to order, from our boutiques in Paris, near the Madeleine, and in Bordeaux. The tailor-made suit is now at the heart of our craft: each piece is made in natural fabrics, from 900 euros, up to the fully canvassed suit assembled in a family-run workshop north of Rome.
It is this credo, this way of wearing clothing that has driven us to create your custom shirts for over a decade. With this experience and our passion for men's clothing, it was logical for us to offer you an offer dedicated to tailor-made suits, always keeping this philosophy in mind...
Elegant, because we want to help you create a beautiful look and suits in which you feel comfortable.
Classic because we are looking for timeless elegance, faithful to the art of tailoring and its understanding of proportions.
Finally, a revisited elegance since it is thanks to a touch of modernity and style that our suits stand out in these subtle details.
Together, we build the style of your custom-made garment. It could be a two-piece suit, a three-piece suit, or just a jacket, vest or trousers. By choosing Swann, you choose a piecework that is fully customizable. Our selection of fabrics comes from major houses such as Loro Piana, Vitale Barberis Canonico, Zegna, Ferla, Hardy Minnis, Dugdale Bros, Holland & Sherry... We renew every six months, a part of this selection for our seasonal models. This allows us to offer you new textures, materials and patterns for your custom clothing for each collection.
The style is the most complete of the traditional tailoring offer: two-piece, three-piece or crossover suits. In addition to these basic choices, we offer variants in all suits details: the size of the lapel or trouser, the shape of the pockets, the slits, the shoulder assembly but also more subtle details such as buttons, finishes or the choice between a buttoned or pull fly...
Finally, to offer you an exhaustive tailor-made offer, we have several types of manufacturing: from complete interfacing to a completely deconstructed construction.
The measurement we take in store is accompanied by the fitting of templates (jacket, pants and vest), allowing us to validate certain measurements but especially to interpret them by making sure with you, to be on the same wavelength.
In fact, it is essential to take into account the way you want to wear your suit. This template fitting will allow you to express yourself on the cut, ease and bend you want and which does not necessarily correspond to what another person would like to wear.
So when you go to Swann to make your custom suit, it is essential for us to understand what you expect from your suit, both in terms of fall, ease or style.
By joining the measures we have taken with the alterations planned on the basis of our templates, we have a system of precise measurements allowing us to stick as closely as possible to your morphology and the cut you like. All these measures will ultimately make up a unique patronage that we archive and can evolve if necessary for your future orders.
The price of a suit depends essentially on the fabric you choose and whether it consists of 2 or 3 pieces. To this price can be added an extra charge if you opt for certain sartorial finishes such as the Milanese buttonhole, a complete canvas, a hand-made assembly, a Neapolitan shoulder etc.
Here are our prices excluding sartorial options
Our objective is to meet your expectations as best as possible so that you will want to renew the customized experience. Whether it is for a dressed suit, business, a mismatched jacket or just pants, recommending will only take the time to think about it.
For each item of clothing you have made (suit, jacket, waistcoat or trousers), we will create a unique pattern. It is indeed thanks to a modern tool that we can place orders, archive your measurements, modify them and create multiple patterns according to your desires.
The choice of your fabric, type of lapel, buttons, style of trousers with or without pliers, interfacing etc. as well as your measurements is made at our shop, by appointment.

Swann Paris is a French made-to-measure clothing house founded in 2008. It designs shirts, jackets and suits cut to order and to your measurements, and welcomes clients by appointment in Paris, near the Madeleine, and in Bordeaux. You can also order online.
A Swann Paris tailor-made suit starts at 900 euros for a two-piece, and at 1,160 euros fully canvassed. It goes up to 2,130 euros for a three-piece. The price mainly depends on the chosen fabric and the construction, excluding sartorial options.
Yes. All our two-piece suits can be completed with a waistcoat, cut from the same cloth or in a contrasting one. The waistcoat starts at 250 euros.
Yes, and it is often a wise choice: trousers wear faster than the jacket. A second pair cut from the same cloth starts at 320 euros.
In our boutiques, by appointment, in Paris (1 rue de l'Arcade, Paris 8) and in Bordeaux (2 rue de Rivière). Allow around 30 minutes for a first information appointment, and 1 to 1.5 hours to order with measurements taken. Measurements are taken with try-on templates for the jacket, trousers and waistcoat, to adjust the cut and ease before the suit is made. Then allow around 30 minutes for a fitting once the suit is ready.
Allow 20 to 25 working days, that is 4 to 5 weeks, between the measurements and delivery. A fitting follows delivery, and any final adjustments are made within a few days.
First, a canvassed jacket is not fused: the canvas is assembled and stitched into the structure of the jacket, for a far more elegant fall and drape. A half-canvassed suit is canvassed only in the upper half of the jacket, which leaves the lower half softer and more casual to wear. In a fully canvassed suit, the garment moulds to the body over time and keeps its shape over the years. It is a more structured, more formal, dressier construction. It is the most accomplished inner construction, assembled for our suits and jackets in a family-run workshop north of Rome, from 1,160 euros for a two-piece suit.
Yes. We make single- or double-breasted tuxedos in black grain de poudre wool, or in black linen and wool for summer evenings, as well as ecru dinner jackets with a shawl collar. Satin lapels, satin-striped trousers, covered buttons: the evening codes are respected.
Yes. A tailor-made suit is naturally suited to a wedding ceremony, as well as to everyday wear for work, cocktails or simply the pleasure of dressing well. Ideally, come two months before the date: the suit is delivered in 4 to 5 weeks, and you need time for a fitting and any alterations rather than dealing with them the day before your wedding. We guide the choice of fabric, cut and details, and archive your pattern for any future orders.
Alterations needed within 30 days of delivery are covered by Swann Paris. They are carried over to your pattern, so that your next orders fit right from the start, taking these adjustments into account. Details are on our Warranty page.
Nearly 4,000 fabric swatches can be seen in our boutiques. The appointment lets you see and feel them, to choose the one that suits the season, the occasion and your style.
Yes. You can order a suit online in a standard size, with possible adjustments to the length or to how fitted it is. Once your pattern has been made in a boutique, reordering online is very easy: on the product page, when choosing the size, select the option "You already have my measurements".
