With another academic school year coming to an end, It is time to think of the School prom and how we can make our Teens stand out from the crowd, looking and feeling incredible.It is normally all about the girls choosing a prom dress that will make her the belle of the ball. What about the Teen boys? They often get overlooked and parents simply hire a suit or purchase a cheap, poorly made suit that doesn’t really fit them as it should.
You could spend hours in store trying suits on and still come away with nothing,or simply settle for something second best and our Teen boys deserve nothing but the best and that is why I turned to Ownonly.
Imagine having a custom-made suit designed to fit your body shape perfectly from the comfort of your own home.well this possibility is now a reality with Ownonly the on-line custom tailors.A website designed to make custom tailored suits on-line at affordable prices.
Getting my Teenage son to go put a cup in the dishwasher is hard enough let alone getting him to a tailors, that would be impossible!
I was very impressed to find that with Ownonly you can do everything from the comfort of your own home.
Step 1: Choosing your desired tailored suit & style
You start the simple process by creating an account on the website before having fun choosing your desired suit from the large selection of custom tailored suits. The process is extremely simple as you are taken through each part of the selection step-by-step.
You choose everything from the cut of the jacket, lapel choice, how many buttons you would like on your Jacket, pocket shape, back vents, Lining choices, design and colour, you can even add a headphone pocket for your phone, very 21st century I don’t think traditional custom tailored suits had those!
Step 2: Taking measurements for your Suit
I am not a professional tailor so I was dreading taking the measurements, what if I got it wrong, my son would never forgive me.
With a tape measure I followed the very straight forward step by step instructions that you can watch in the short video, I would advise anyone ordering a suit to watch this video as I found seeing the measurements taken in real life far more beneficial to me than just reading the instructions.
If any errors occur or if you simply have a question about any part of your order Ownonly has an amazing Customer care team that are always on hand to assist you.
Once my measurements were all taken and double checked, I simply input all the details into the website and viola my made to measure custom-made suit was ready to be made.
Unbelievably my Custom made suit arrived in under two weeks, packaged beautifully on an elegant wood hanger and protected with a suit cover. Inside we were really surprised to find a wood handled clothes brush made from real horse hair to keep my son looking dapper in his suit at all times. A wood effect USB and tape measure were also included and I thought these were really nice touches.
My son headed to his room with his new custom suit and I waited with bated breath until he appeared looking as if in minutes he had turned from a boy to a man. The suit fitted every inch of him perfectly, from the leg and arm length to the perfect fit across his back which we normally have issues with as he has played tennis for years and goes daily to the gym so the width of his back is larger than the standard Teen.
The lining design and colour went perfectly with the suit and the personalised option makes it unlike any other custom tailored suits on the market well especially not at the prices that you will find on Ownonly.
The Business Dark Grey Two-Piece suit we ordered cost a mere $269.00 with free shipping to the UK. Made from 100% Wool the quality and cut of the suit was far better than what I expected for the price. A perfect first suit for any Teen boy starting off in life, to attend his prom, occasions and Interviews, giving him the start he needs and deserves
In my opinion all men could really benefit from a custom-made suit from Ownonly to look sharp at work, handsome and dapper at weddings and christenings or just for a formal night out.

May 4, 2015 at 3:44 pmHey, Rachel! I love your blog! My son is looking for a tuxedo, but they’re often very expensive. If we were to buy one online, how would we know what his sizes are? Do you have a size chart or know where we can find one?

If not I would most certainly take you son to a debenhams or a suit shop and have him measured correctly, it’s a lot of money if you get it wrong! Good luck let me know how you get on with shopping.
