Portuguese bespoke tailor Ayres Goncalo is uncompromising - he only makes five suits a month. “The point is the quality. It’s not to make 200 or 300 suits a year,” he said.
“A very well-made suit should make the person who wears it feel that he has more power, more confidence. And then when I look at it, it is perfect. Most of the time, it’s perfect. It’s like an orgasm, you know?” quipped Ayres.
These days, Ayres is sharing that perfection with clients around the world - 80 to 90 per cent of the names on his rolodex live abroad.
“I have customers from Singapore, England, Italy, Switzerland, Brazil, Angola, all around the world,” he said. “We call the fitting room of a tailor ‘The Confessionary’ because the customer tells you things about his life. You are like a psychologist to your customer because he tells you about his problems, he speaks to you about his business, his tastes.”
