Pierre Cardin or Altınyıldız: Which Suit to Buy

Both stores sell formal menswear, so the decision is the cut and the way you buy. Read the cut (slim or regular) and the fabric (wool or blend) in each suit card, and do not buy a suit in an approximate size, because alterations after arrival are costly and may not be enough. Take chest, shoulder and length in centimeters from a local tailor before ordering.

How to measure a suit before ordering

Ask a tailor for chest, waist, shoulder, sleeve and trouser length in centimeters, compare them with each store chart, and choose the closest size with room for the tailor to adjust.

How to protect a suit in the parcel

Ask for a suit bag or tissue between the layers, avoid heavy items on top of it, and hang it or steam it on arrival instead of pressing directly.

What is specific to each country

Syria: Ordering suits to Syria suits events and weddings, so order well before the event date to leave time for overland shipping and tailoring. Saudi Arabia: In Saudi Arabia formal events and office work are common but the heat favours light wool or a thin blend, so read the fabric weight. Kuwait: In Kuwait a suit serves work and occasions, and offices are strongly air-conditioned so a mid-weight fabric works, and it helps to line up a tailor before an important date.

How orders ship and arrive

Syria: The suit goes in a suit bag on top of the carton before the overland road to Syria, then a tailor appointment is booked. Saudi Arabia: The suit flies to your city with home delivery, and volume is counted after gentle folding in a suit bag. Kuwait: The suit flies to Kuwait with home delivery, and it is better to arrive at least a week before the event for alterations.

Common questions

Do I need a tailor after arrival?

Usually yes for sleeve and trouser length, so keep room in the size.

Is wool better than a blend?

Wool is softer and heavier while a blend is easier to care for, so choose by weather and use.

Should I order the larger size?

No, rely on the centimeter measurement because shoulders are hard to adjust.
