MEET OUR CEO Matthew Masciangelo is the CEO and lead designer of Canada’s leading custom clothier, Masciangelo Design Inc. Previously, Matthew served as President of Lou Myles, where he began his career as an apprentice diligently acquiring the skills and extensive knowledge in the sartorial art of custom tailoring. Matthew’s hands-on-training under the rigorous tutelage of Mr. Myles, a world renowned master tailor, who has made clothes for individuals such as Muhammad Ali, Frank Sinatra, and Lee Lacocca, has enabled Matthew to perfect the technique of exquisite fittings through specific individualized measurements. Matthew also received mentoring by a number of other great master tailors including Manuel Martinez and Franco Guccione, who took Matthew under their wing and taught him the critical aspects of the trade, such as garment construction, pattern making, blue pencil, and styling. Matthew is a personal custom tailor and designer for clients who include many of Canada’s top CEOs, executives, and highly regarded individuals. Matthew provides exceptional advice on how to dress based on their body-type, profession, lifestyle, and most importantly, the image they wish to project to the world! “We don’t just make clothing, we help clients build a commanding sense of confidence, personal style, and the basis for personal branding.” © Masciangelo Design Inc. OUR DISTINCTION FABRIC FIT We search the world for the finest fabrics. All of our fabrics are handpicked to ensure the highest level of taste, durability, and uniqueness. We work with the best mills and 100-year old workshops in Italy and England to provide a breathtaking selection of fabrics, in a very limited yardage, which creates originality and exclusivity for our clientele. Depending on a client's profession, different looks, styles, and fabrics are possible. Matching the correct fabric with a personality requires the knowledge of an expert. Our goal has always been to flatter the human body. We accomplish this by using a series of special measuring techniques that are rarely used by tailors today. We use a try-on garment to identify proper fit, balance; everything from a low shoulder or hip to an erect or stooping body posture are taken into account to create the ultimate fit! Our goal is to even out these flaws and make an individual appear as if they have a symmetrical silhouette. For this reason, we are and have been the most frequent choice among many individuals of excellence. Majority of tailors on the market today just use a tape-measure which takes the circumference and tends to create a boxier look. For example, a person may be a smaller size in the front, let’s say a 42, but they may be a different size in the back, a 44. Most tailors or salesmen would give a 44 all around, but then the shoulders would be too wide and the breast would be too big! This results in a poor fit. The single most important feature that separates a great suit from others, is its silhouette. When you put on our hand tailored suit, it automatically transforms your body into the perfect symmetrical build. EXPERIENCE QUALITY Each piece draws from a formidable heritage of design, innovation, and craftsmanship, combined with modern contemporary details and exactness of engineering. Everything is done for your own comfort. Each step, from the fabric selection to the final fitting, is conducted with particular focus, care, and accuracy. Our meeting can take place at your office, home, or our showroom. Your profession, social activities, destinations, events, and life goals, are all important pieces of information to help us determine fabric selections, styles, and your own personal theme. Our ongoing commitment to provide the highest level of quality is evident in each one of our garments. Each individual item and personalized pattern is hand-cut and constructed by our in-house traditional experts and passionate craftspeople. A full horsehair canvas is hand-basted into each of our jackets providing added definition, softness, and comfort, while greatly increasing the lifespan. With the passage of time, the suit literally grows to fit even better as it molds itself to the body. Most off-the-rack suits are glued (“fused”) together which causes them to bubble and look unnatural. Believe it or not, this poor structure is evident in some of the most expensive brands in the marketplace. © Masciangelo Design Inc. WHY CUSTOM? With off-the-rack suits, its impossible to get the proper fit. These suits are mass-produced by machines and made to fit everyone, so you will never get the proper shoulder width, coat length, and body fit that you deserve. With custom and the right technique, all details are taken into account to create the perfect fitting suit designed just for you! People who have a good figure assume that custom is just for people with a not-so-good one or that custom takes too much time, and is too costly. Not true! Custom is for everyone. If you have a great figure, a properly tailored suit would accentuate it and make you look even better! If you have a poor figure, it will hide body flaws and make you look slimmer or more symmetrical. Measurements can be taken in minutes and although the cost between the two is very similar, with custom, you do not have to settle for "one-size-fits-all". © Masciangelo Design Inc. CONVENIENCE Custom-wear provides the ultimate convenience to suit your busy lifestyle. With Masciangelo, our meeting can take place at your office, home, or our showroom. Your profession, social activities, destinations, events, and life goals are all important pieces of information to help us determine fabric selections, styles, and your own personal theme. We analyze body posture, height, shape, and body balance as critical factors to determine the prime focus of a garment to create the perfect silhouette. Then, we proceed to take your exact measurements with precision by using a series of special measuring techniques that will create a flawless fit and a mighty vision. After our meeting, we sit down with a team of master craftsmen to develop your paper pattern and begin to visualize your new look. Next, the garment is prepared for a “try-on” fitting. At the fitting, the necessary adjustments are applied to your pattern and then the garment is finished and hand-delivered to your doorstep or office. We also store your pattern on file to make your future orders convenient, quick, and effortless. PERSONALIZATION Everything from custom pockets for your Blackberry or iPhone, to having your name engraved on the inside of the lining, gives a more personalized feel. You can create your own theme to mirror your true personality and style. Mix and match linings, buttons, belts and colours. For this reason, we have been a frequent choice among individuals of excellence. “Since our company’s inception, the factor that has contributed most to our success is that we never let a customer walk out of our sight unless the suit is completely perfect.
