Where are Brillington suits made?

Every Brillington garment is hand-built in our Gunawarman atelier in Jakarta.

From pattern drafting to final pressing, each piece passes through the hands of our in-house tailoring team. This allows us to control the process closely and maintain the precision, comfort and proportion that define Brillington craftsmanship.

Our suits are developed through multiple stages of tailoring and fittings so that the finished garment feels personal to the wearer.

What makes Brillington different from other tailors in Jakarta?

Brillington combines Italian ease with British discipline, forming what we call The Brillington Cut.

Our jackets feature:

• Soft shoulders with minimal padding

• A slightly extended shoulder line for presence

• Higher armholes for comfort and mobility

• Natural chest drape for shape

• Balanced lapels and a deep V-opening

We are particularly known for light tailoring - garments designed to move, breathe and remain comfortable in Jakarta's climate.

All patterns are drafted in-house in Gunawarman, allowing us to create a silhouette that reflects the wearer's posture, proportions and personal style.

What is the process of ordering a full custom suit at Brillington?

Every Brillington suit begins with a conversation — not a measurement.

Step 1 — Consultation.
You’ll meet directly with our fitter or co-founder to discuss your lifestyle, preferences, and intended use of the suit, jackets or other items. This helps us recommend the right construction, cloth weight, and silhouette.

Step 2 — Fabric & Style Selection.
We’ll guide you through a curated library of cloths, from lightweight wools to seasonal blends. Together we decide details .

Step 3 — Measurement & Pattern.
Your body is measured and observed - posture, shoulder balance, and natural stance. From there, we draft your personal pattern in-house to ensure proportion and mobility.

Step 4 — Fitting Sessions.
Your first fitting is about structure; your second refines movement and drape.

Step 5 — Finishing & Collection.
Once approved, the garment is hand-finished, pressed, and reviewed before delivery. We’ll schedule a final try-on to ensure comfort and silhouette are exactly right.
