OUR STORY
The name 3EIGHTH, is derived from 3/8" (three eighths of an inch), also used as an allowance for garment pattern drafting.
Established in November, 2018 as a female-fronted and women’s focused tailoring house, we’ve now created that allowance for ourselves to offer our perspective and twist on menswear tailoring not just for custom commissions, but also through our made-to-order collections too.
Every 3EIGHTH piece is meant to journey you through an exploration of fabrics, quality and comfort. We aim to create a deeper appreciation on the craft of garment making - from the process of material curation and detailings, down to its silhouette.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
3EIGHTH is an ode to juxtaposition. Taking cues from our founder designer’s roots in classic menswear tailoring, we love experimenting with materials and hybridising designs through a balance in the masculine and feminine, the bold and subtle, the contemporary and classic, and a touch of uniqueness, even in the face of uniformity.
Taking a sustainable approach with a small tight-knit production in-house, we ensure that your garments are made with the utmost care and quality, and want them to be treasured for the many years to come.
"Every 3EIGHTH piece is a journey of discovering your individual style, unwavering quality, and unparalleled comfort."
