Made-To-Measure
Almost everything that bears the Crane Brothers name can be made for you. Your fit profile, your cloth, your details. This is how we build wardrobes.
Made-To-Measure
Our house patterns, adjusted to you. We take a full set of measurements and build your fit profile, which we keep for every order that follows. You choose the cloth and every detail. We fit you before the final finishing. Available in suiting, shirting and denim.
Made-To-Order
Our permanent and seasonal styles, made in your size, in the cloth and colour you choose. The range runs far beyond anything we could hold in store. We fit you before it is finished. Available in suiting, shirting, footwear, knitwear, suede jackets and denim.
Bespoke
An individual pattern, drafted from your measurements and corrected for posture: shoulder pitch, stance and balance. Bespoke also opens up styling options not available in Made-To-Measure. Where appropriate, we fit a calico or toile first, then refine the pattern through further fittings in your cloth. Allow approximately 60 working days. Available in suiting and shirting, at our High Street store in Auckland.
How we work with you
Wherever possible, the person who meets you at your first consultation sees you through to the final fitting. They learn how you dress, how you live, and what you need your clothes to do.
1. Consultation
Unhurried. We listen first, then we advise. For Bespoke and Made-To-Measure, we take your measurements and build the fit profile that every future order starts from.
2. Cloth & details
The cloth decides most of what follows. We know which ones wear well, which suit our climate, and which get better with age. Then the details: lapels, buttons, lining. This is where it becomes yours.
3. Making & fitting
Bespoke is made in our own Auckland workroom. Made-To-Measure and Made-To-Order garments are made by our manufacturing partners, then hand-finished in our own workroom. Allow approximately 25–30 working days for Made in Italy, 20–25 for Contemporary and 60 for Bespoke. We fit you, refine what needs refining, then finish it. Nothing leaves the workroom until it is right.
Suiting
Bespoke, Made-To-Measure and Made-To-Order
Bespoke, made in our own Auckland workroom. Made-To-Measure and Made-To-Order in two programmes, Made in Italy and Contemporary. All garments carries a full floating canvas and are hand-finished in our own workroom. The canvas moulds to you over time, so the jacket settles into your shape.
Allow approximately 25–30 working days for Made in Italy, 20–25 for Contemporary and 60 for Bespoke. Your fit profile stays on record, so every suit after the first starts where the last one finished. More than 25 years of cutting suits goes into every one.
