Made to measure

Merivale Mall is a one-stop shop for boutique shopping. For men, too. Barkers Menswear, founded in 1972, has long been a go-to for New Zealand men, outfitting them for daily life, unforgettable milestones, and everything in between.

Alongside all the menswear essentials, from shoes to ties, shirts to trousers, Barkers Merivale Mall has recently introduced a Made to Measure service. This delivers unmatched one-of-a-kind tailoring, with thousands of premium fabrics and endless personalisation. From suiting to shirts, expert tailors guide you in creating a bespoke design, crafted to your taste with an impeccable fit guaranteed.

With event season approaching, now’s the perfect time to take advantage of this easy four-step service.

Start by booking a consultation. Then, experienced tailors will take your measurements and help you choose the right materials and design to suit your personal style. There are over 1,000 premium fabrics on offer from Italy’s most respected mills like Reda and Loro Piana, to British mill royalty such as Dugdale Bros & Co. For true customisation, choose your own linings, collars, cuffs, and even buttons.

From there, sit back and relax, with garments usually ready within six to eight weeks. The team will then be in touch for your final fitting and send you on your way with your bespoke piece. The full price list is available online.

“A good suit should reflect the person wearing it. That’s what our Made to Measure service is all about, creating something that fits not just your frame, but your lifestyle as well as your personal style. Whether it’s for your wedding day, hitting the red carpet or a sartorial take on your work week uniform, pop in and talk to the team to find out how Made to Measure can fit your life,” says Rebe Cope from Barkers.

Men are clearly well looked after when it comes to getting a great fit and with expert tailoring, timeless style, and top-tier service, Barkers Menswear is just one of the standout boutique fashion offerings waiting at Merivale Mall.
