I asked this company to make me a unique suit - a replica from the Shakespeare movie 'Much Ado About Nothing'. They succeeded, the suit looks just like it came from the movie studio. This company can make any suit you can dream of. A++
I commissioned a bespoke double breasted cashmere overcoat from Germanicos and I am full of praise . Immaculate fit and length I like it just below the knee and the cashmere fabric is so soft and keeps you so warm as well for winter . The best tailor made garment I have ever purchased thank you Germanicos! Show details
Thrilled to bits with my new bespoke suit from Germanicos bespoke tailors, I feel amazing and so comfortable wearing it , the service was top notch and faster than I expected was done with fittings in 4 weeks Show details
My experience with Germanicos in Perth was excellent. Everything from the knowledge of the tailor to the absolutely perfect fit (makes all my other clothes feel Ill fitted now) to how it breathes and is light to wear , everything about it makes me feel great , highly recommended establishment from one very happy customer .

Exceptional Tailors and company. I picked up my double breasted suit last Friday at their Lonsdale St Melbourne shop and it looks and feels fantastic. I'm wearing it today and have already been complimented more than i've been in the last year combined about anything lol! The professional and knowledgeable service received from all of the team in… Read more
Melbourne just topped off an all-round fantastic buying experience. There is a reason why they make suits for people like Hugh Jackman, because they are fricken awesome
Absolutely thrilled with my 3 piece Forrest green suit from Germanicos. Honestly I've never had so many compliments in my life, what a difference from the off the rack it is indeed. Great service very knowledgeable and tailor on site . Can't go wrong Show details
I initially tried to find a tuxedo for my wedding off the rack. Some were ok but none quite perfect in the fit and I didn’t want to compromise on my wedding tuxedo. I then decided to go to a bespoke tailor and ended up choosing Germanicos out of the few I visited. John and Michael from the Melbourne boutique are legends, they truly know their… Read more
work. We had a long 2 hour session of selecting fabrics (I ended up choosing a Zegna fabric), taking measurements and designing the tuxedo every single aspect. Was a great experience in itself! The result after a few fittings was the most immaculate tuxedo I had ever seen led alone worn and the Zegna top of the line fabric I chose (i'll post a pic of the bunch) was the softest most luxurious fabric I have ever worn. I got a million compliments on the day and it was very comfortable to wear and made me feel so confident on my special day. I Cannot recommend Germanicos Melbourne more highly!
Exceeded expectations in every aspect – What an experience and result!! I was apprehensive at first because I had bad experience with another tailor shop institchu in the past and the Germanicos price was higher. Right from the start at my initial appointment with John I could tell the knowledge gap and experience would pay dividends. I chose a navy twill fabric and the best part was… Read more
that once the fabric was selected they had an amazing software with 3D imagery and designed my suit step by step from lapels to pockets to vents to buttons to stitching colours, linings monograms the list goes on every part of the suit could be made bespoke for me and I was able to visualise the design at the initial appointment , this made me feel confident in my choices. Fast forward 4 weeks I went in for a fitting (mind you at this fitting stage the suit for incredubly well.and was markedly better than the final suit from instichu . ). For what I thought was pretty good, John together with the master tailor started pinning things and marking with chalk and having intense debate as to how they could get the suit jacket and trousers to fit even better. (If they had said nothing i would have happily taken the suit) . Fast forward another week at the fitting I can honestly say that I have the best fitting, best looking garment I have ever owned. The first time I wore it I got compliments left right and centre. I highly recommend Germanicos tailors to anyone who needs the best fitting and looking suits.
Amazing – Fantastic from start to finish. Michael walks you through the whole experience and you can tell he has pride in his work. This is the place to go for a one of a kind suit. Show details
Have seen better Suits in Target and Kmart's clearance section – My experience with Germanicos Tailoring has been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite paying a hefty sum and investing significant time, my order remains incomplete. The jackets I received were riddled with defects, reflecting poorly on their craftsmanship. Attempting to communicate with the owner has been futile. Despite my persistent efforts… Read more
over six months, I've received nothing but empty promises and excuses. Their lack of accountability and failure to provide timely updates is utterly unacceptable.
The quality of their work is abysmal compared to other tailors I've patronized. I've found superior quality suits at a fraction of the price elsewhere. Germanicos' incompetence reached its peak when they failed to deliver my wedding suit on time, despite ample notice and constant reminders.
In light of my experience, I strongly advise against entrusting Germanicos Tailoring with any important clothing needs. Their consistent failure to meet expectations and disregard for customer satisfaction is appalling. Save yourself the disappointment and seek out a more reputable tailor elsewhere.
Our groomsmens looked better in suits one sixth the cost – The short story is Germanicos made a comedy of errors and refused to make the situation right in the way that we thought they should. Their salesmen are slimy and will talk you into the result that they want. In March of this year my now husband went to Germanicos for his first fitting for his suit for our June wedding. He chose the materials to… Read more
be used for the jacket very specifically as it matched our wedding theme.
Six weeks out from the wedding after hearing no updates whatsoever my husband rang and booked in his next fitting. There was zero proactivity on Michael's part.
When he arrived for this fitting his jacket wasn't ready to try. This should have been a huge red flag.
We again had zero communication from anyone at Germanicos. The week of the wedding we contacted them every day to no avail.
Finally, the Thursday afternoon before the Saturday wedding Michael returned one of our calls and told us there had been a mix up and the suit jacket was in the wrong material. It was meant to be dark green with a leaf pattern and the image he sent was of an olive green suit which as you can imagine caused a lot of concern and unnecessary stress.
So less than 48 hours before the wedding we race into the city to inspect the suit he's expecting us to take. It turns out to be closer to the right colour but no print and not as nice material. The lining was also completely wrong and to top it off my husband's initials on his shirt cuff were wrong.
We were talked into taking the suit because "we wouldn't find anything else in time" at a time when emotions are already running high. There were many "mea culpas" and "We want to make this rights" from Michael. Apparently this mistake had to be missed on three separate occasions during the production process. He offered another jacket at a later date or a refund but encouraged us to go away and think about it since we were leaving the country for our honeymoon. He told us to get in touch when we got back and reassured us it will look fine in the photos and give the look we were after.
Before we left we arranged for some final tweaks to the wrong jacket, another reminder about the initials and arranged for them to be picked up by our best man at 10am the next day.
The next day the best man and another groomsman came to collect the suit and their shirts which Germanicos were also making, and it wasn't ready. There was no call to us to let us know. They were happy to have the best man be their messenger boy. My husband's suit was ubered to us less than 24 hours before the wedding with the promised tweaks not visible and his initials still wrong.
The day went ahead and we went on our honeymoon. Conveniently, our photographer returned our photos the day we arrived home. Her work was incredible and she did a sensational job of trying to get the look we wanted so we were hoping to give Germanicos the benefit of the doubt but our groomsmen looked better in $500 Peter Jackson suits (compared to the the $3000 Germanicos suit) in every. single. shot.
We asked for a full refund due to all the significant errors and stress caused. This request was not properly responded to for nearly a week. Michael then claimed to be "aiming for a win-win". Saying the error wasn't necessarily theirs and that "to request a full refund was unreasonable". He also tried to claim that they are a "small business ". They are a chain tailor with multiple locations and the lack of professionalism was ghastly.
In the end, because it wasnt worth the stress of dealing with slimy salesmen we took a partial refund (which took another two weeks, a phone call and a message to materialise) and are out of pocket over $1000 for the wrong suit that looks crap in all our photos.
Congratulations Germanicos for being literally the only vendor that didn't provide absolutely incredible service on our wedding day.
Disappointing experience – Firstly the poor review isnt completely based on the quality as it ended up being good but the process in getting there was a headache. I booked a appointment to get a suit made up on the 4/5/21 in Perth everything went well and i was informed it usually takes around 6 weeks from start to finish which worked fine for me. I had a few events coming… Read more
up but they weren't until August.
On the 5/7/21 i had heard nothing from Germanicos regarding me suit this is 8-9 weeks after i had got measured up, i was informed that the personal i was dealing with was finishing up and someone else was taking over my order. He contacted me that day and apologised informing me that some of the material ordered for my suit was water damaged on arrival so there was a delay and he was unaware i was not aware i had not been told about this. I was then told he is planning on coming to Perth in the next 10days and would contact me once he arrives to plan a appointment.
I waited until the 25/7/21 and had not received any calls or emails with a update of what was going on so i emailed them again. I was told that due to the lockdown in Melbourne they were unable to fly over and they would contact me on the 28/7/21 once they were out of lockdown.
This continued on untill they finally sent over the suit to a trusted tailor here in perth by this time it was now 6/8/21, 13 weeks since my initial measure up in which i was told 6 weeks from start to finish. Once it arrived there was obvious adjustments needed which is normal from what i have heard. However it required multiple adjustments and i did not revieve my suit until the 23/8/21 only 2 days before a wedding in which i got the suit made for. OVER 16 WEEKS after my original measuring, this is 10weeks more then what i was told how long it would take them to finish it. I understand covid causes issues but 10 weeks? I wasn't even offered any kind of discount or apology at the end. Realistically i could have just got one off the rack and and a local tailor got it to fit just as good for a lot less money and a lot less hassle.
Best suits in Australia ! – Hi John, it was nice to meet up with you at your office to go over some new fabrics, the alterations to the shoulders is now a fantastic fit to my body shape, makes me look nice and very comfortable to wear, its amazing when I travel that I can fold all my suits together in the case, and after 2 weeks of travel and wear and then… Read more
packed again in a travel case the suits still look like new, love the wool, it becomes wrinkle free when hung overnight.

Couldn’t recommend more highly! – From beginning to end Ray made the process easy by offering honest feedback on the choices I made. His attention to detail means that the finished product is better than I could have imagined. Show details
Excellent service, fantastic product – Got a bespoke suit for myself (groom) and outfits for all groomsmen. Very flexible with times, shows attention to detail, end result was a great looking suit. Very customisable with different options for a unique suit. Highly recommend.
Best Suit I have ever had! – This is my first bespoke suit, never have I worn a suit that fits like a glove. I personally recommend this to anyone! Ray thanks for taking time to put me first. Since I’m the youngest to buy a 3 piece suit from Ray, I can definitely say the suit exceeds expectations and I can’t wait to go back and buy a navy blue one. The compliments I get from… Read more
wearing it for the first time, I had to stop and check myself out in the mirror. I feel like a Billionaire!
Thanks Again to everyone at Germanicons Bespoke Tailors, Great Job!
Perfect – My first bespoke suit and it has been the best outcome and an awesome experience. Ray Totlani's professionalism, expert knowledge and use of fabric ensured a quality product. Ray took the time to understand my needs and expectations, was attentive to detail and gave great advice and direction where needed. The suit was totally personalised for… Read more
my daughter's wedding and was exquisite to wear. Now moving onto a bespoke blazer and other items. Also an appreciative shout out to Olga at Golden Stitch Alterations.
Very Good Suit – Wanted a classic black peak lapel tuxedo for some events. John & Michael made me the best fitted suit ever with wide peak lapels and some amazing jacket lining. True bespoke experience. Highly recommend, Cheers !
A perfect fit – I have only once previously had a bespoke suit made in Hong Kong, and the result was mediocre, with some major errors in the cutting and final garment shape. So I was a bit wary to have a repeat experience with Germanicos; however, I was more than pleasantly surprised. The local stylist Ray Totlani took his time in explaining the various fabrics… Read more
and in answering my many questions when going through the details on how the suit was constructed. When it was time for the alterations, there was no need for any, for the suit was a perfect fit!
Made to fit you – Was looking for a classic navy pin stipe suit and some business shirts. Germanicos has heaps of fabric choice and they are custom / bespoke tailors. They measured me up, then we design the suit as I was looking for a wide peak lapel which was not available anywhere in off the rack designer suit shops. Highly recommend Germanicos for being great option for people looking for bespoke garments.
Would not recommend – Disappointing results and experience for myself and partner based on our understanding of bespoke wedding suits versus made to measure or off the rack suits. After a whole day of attempts by Germanicos to rectify the really bad fit, my upset partner ended up buying an off the rack Canali suit the day before our wedding to replace the one from… Read more
Germanicos - [Names Removed] are engaging and pursuasive, however, based on our very expensive, unsatisfactory results, we cannot recommend their suits.
The finished suits did not meet our expectations nor measure up to the qualities and values promoted on the Germanicos website which claimed, that their tailor made suit will have an impeccable fit because they will spend a whole day working on your patterns for your tailor made suit and if the drawings are clear and precise it all fits perfectly......We view this emphasis on pattern making our key differentiator with our competitors in tailor made suits, because we achieve the highest quality fit that any client of ours could dream of.
Professional, courteous, wouldn’t go anywhere else! – Professional fitting, excellent service. Made me completely comfortable the entire time and never felt pressured to buy anything I didn’t need, actually helped me get the suit of my dreams in my budget. No trouble having the suit altered after they gave it to me as I had lost weight before my wedding. Show details

Fantastic product, great service – Very satisfied owner of a brand new beautiful bespoke tailored suit. I highly recommend Ray in the Perth office for his excellent advice, service and efficiency. This was my second ever tailored suit and the experience with Germanicos, and the end product, far exceeded the first. My body type isn't the easiest to mold a suit around in a flattering… Read more
way but Ray delivered spectacularly. I went with a two trouser navy business suit with a faint black windowpane in the silver range and it is a dandy. I'll be back.
Best Tailors in Perth – Purchased a business suit from Germanicos Tailors in Perth. Good variety of fabrics and they do it like traditional tailors. Choose your fabric, body measurements, design your suit and then couple of fittings / trials to make sure the fit is perfect. Got my suit within the timeline given by Ray and they had this light weight wool fabric perfect for warm weather in Perth. Enjoying the look and feel of it. Thanks guys ! Highly recommend !
Perfect Suit & Perfect Service – I made an appointment with Germanicos at their Melbourne store. I had been to see a few other tailors before I made my decision to go with Germanicos. I made my decision based on the massive amount of fabric samples they had, more than double any other establishment I had been to. I also made my decision based on the passion and knowledge of my… Read more
tailor John who was fantastic.
I am so glad I made the decision to have my suit made by Germanicos, because I am pleased to say it is now my favorite piece of clothing in my wardrobe in every sense. From the fabric and style to the perfect fit, I am so happy and get compliments every time I wear it.
Cannot recommend these guys enough
Top Notch ! – Purchased in-store at Perth CBD. Ray explained in detail about various fabrics and designs available. As informed, suit arrived in about 3 weeks, then fitting and delivered in time before I left for my conference in Canberra. April 4th 2019 Update: Best Bespoke Suits First I tried Germanicos when I got my business suit, this time it was for my… Read more
wedding. It was the most important day of my life and I only trusted Germanicos to make my wedding suit as I can't fit in off the rack suits. They are masters of the trade and they made me an amazing suit for my wedding. Happy to recommend Germanicos. Cheers
Perfect Fit & Good Service – Purchased and got fitted in-store. Michael accomodated my schedule and arranged for fittings late afternoons and on short notice. Paid 50% deposit up-front and balance at final fitting.
Well fitted suit and Best tailor in Perth – Was looking for a tailored wedding suit and Germanicos was on top on Google reviews. Booked an appointment and was very happy with their process and heaps of fabrics available. We got married in Koh Samui and wanted something tropical to suit the weather. Ray was helpful in explaining different fabric types and designed a very well fitted 3 piece… Read more
suit.
All my friends were impressed by the fit and look of the suit design.
Recommend Germanicos if you’re looking for tailored suits that fit you.
Cheers Frank.
What a Joke! – In Perth, the places that you can get a quality bespoke suit made are few and far between. Germanicos promises good service and great quality, but when you find yourself sitting on a red couch, in a random small apartment, being lied to and treated like an absolute idiot by the worst used car salesman of suits... You start questioning the decisions that got you there. Why would anyone be so stupid as to fall for this crap?
5 stars isnt enough! – I used Germanicos for my wedding suit. The whole process, from initial fitting to collecting my suit was seamless. The level of detail, attention and care is second to none and the suit itself was magnificent. The most comfortable, unique and exceptionally made suit I have ever worn. They even accomodated for my pre-wedding weight loss along the… Read more
way!
A massive thank you to Michael and John at Germanicos for making an outstanding product but for also making the groom as important as the bride.
Excellent! – As a former bodybuilder I have always struggled when it comes to suits. Mine was fitted by Zach (spelling?) and his level of customer service was exceptional. The final product fit perfectly and helped contribute to the enjoyment of my wedding. I would recommend to anyone looking for the perfect suit. Customer Service
Slightly delayed, But well worth the wait! – I ordered a bespoke business suit with Germanicos in June, and had 3 fittings in all. After the initial fitting I waited about 4 weeks for my second fitting, then 1 more week for my final fitting. The suit I purchased was phominal and for the first time in my life get many compliments about my suit when I wear it. The fit is exceptional and the… Read more
design is phenominal thanks to the help of the experienced design team at Germanicos.
I understand that the suit is made by hand and takes about 80 hrs to construct, as such the 5 week wait was well worth it.
I highly recommend this company to those who want a suit that fits well, in the exact design you want and with a choice of over 3000 fabrics.
Service was great and I was kept informed.
I will be back for more & will reccomend my friends & colleagues. Perfect fit, great design, good value for money, exceptional customer service took 5 weeks instead of 4 weeks
Absolutely Stunning is the word! – I own a worldwide company and am extremely time poor. As such I used the Germanicos free call-out service in Sydney. I was measured by a lovely lady called Luna at my office and we discussed fabric choices and styles. I wasn't exactly sure on what I wanted but Luna was fantastic in also recommending what would look best on me. To be honest I… Read more
have never had a suit in my life in which I was 100% satisfied with, but the suit Luna designed for me and Germanicos made was perfect in every aspect, especially the fit, as this is the hardest thing to get right on my shape body.
I wear my suit 2-3 times a week and will be going back to get another.
I would like to pass on my sheer delight with the service from start to finish and could highly recommend this company for anyone needing a Bespoke suit in Sydney.
Thanks Germanicos & Luna for everything!! Free call-out service, quality, fabric, fit, exceptional service, eye for detail
Made me the best wedding suit ever!! – I got married a few weeks ago and just returned from my honeymoon. I searched the net for bespoke tailors and went to many to see, I ended up chosing Germanicos as they seemed the most reasonably priced and best quality. Boy o Boy did they stun me and my guests with the beautifully fitted suit they made for me, I was getting compiments all night… Read more
and I felt a million bucks.
I will be looking back at my wedding photos in the years to come and be wrapped with the way I looked in my Germanicos bespoke suit.
Highly recommended to all looking for a suit that speaks for itself.
The least I could do was write a good review to spread the word..
Steve Hawks Perfect fit, looked amazing, best suit, top bespoke tailor
