There’s nothing more frustrating than wearing a suit that almost fits. Maybe the shoulders feel off, the trousers bunch up, or the jacket flares awkwardly at the waist. The truth is, most suits sold off the rack in Kenya are designed with “standard sizes” in mind—but you are anything but standard.
At Fits on Time, we specialize in fixing those small but game-changing issues that make the difference between “just okay” and “tailored perfection.” Here’s why your current suit might not fit, and how we can fix it for you.
1. The Shoulders Don’t Sit Right
Your suit jacket should hug your shoulders comfortably, not sag, not squeeze. Ill-fitting shoulders are one of the first signs of a poorly sized suit.
How We Fix It: We assess your shoulder width and posture to custom-cut the suit for a natural, clean silhouette. No more awkward shoulder bumps!
2. The Jacket Is Too Tight (or Too Baggy)
If your jacket pulls across the chest when buttoned, or worse, if it hangs loosely like a coat, it’s a sign the fit is wrong.
Our Solution: We take your chest, waist, and back measurements precisely and create a tapered look that flatters your body shape, whether slim, athletic, or broad.
3. The Trousers Are Too Long or Too Short
If your trousers are stacking up at the ankles or flashing too much sock, it’s time to recheck the inseam and break.
Fits on Time Fix: We hem your trousers to the perfect length based on your height, shoe preference, and whether you prefer a full, half, or no break.
4. The Sleeves Cover Your Hands
Suit sleeves should show about half an inch of your shirt cuff, anything longer makes your suit look borrowed.
Tailored Solution: We adjust sleeve length precisely to your arm measurements. Your wristwatch will finally have its moment to shine.
5. The Collar Gaps or Wrinkles
A jacket collar that stands away from your neck or forms rolls at the back is a major no-no in tailoring.
Our Approach: We tailor the jacket to your neck slope and posture so the collar lays flush and clean, no bunching, no gaps.
6. The Suit Doesn’t Match Your Body Type
Not all bodies are the same, some are tall and slim, others are shorter or more muscular. A one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t work.
Why Fits on Time Wins: We tailor your suit to your exact frame and build, creating a custom cut that highlights your best features and gives a polished look unique to you.
7. Poor Fabric Choice for the Kenyan Climate
Sometimes, the issue isn’t the cut, it’s the fabric. Heavy, synthetic materials can make you feel hot, stiff, and uncomfortable, especially in Nairobi’s heat or Mombasa’s humidity.
Our Fabric Fix: We guide you in choosing breathable, high-quality fabrics like lightweight wool, cotton, or linen blends that are perfect for Kenya’s climate and lifestyle.
Why Settle for “Good Enough”?
At Fits on Time, we believe your suit should feel like a second skin, fitted, confident, and ready for any occasion. Whether you’re preparing for a wedding, a board meeting, or a Sunday service, we’ve got you covered.
