Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ordering custom trousers from Tahio Avila.


We start with a free consultation to discuss your style, fit preferences, and what you're looking for in terms of comfort. This is a separate session from the measurements — no tape needed yet.

When it's time to measure, we provide a detailed guide with instructions that walk you through each step. You'll need a measuring tape and about 15 minutes. If you have a pair of pants that fit well, you can also send us photos and measurements of those as a reference point. We've refined this process to be accurate and straightforward — even remotely.

One round of alterations is included with every order. If adjustments are needed, simply send us photos showing the fit issues and ship the pants back to us. We'll make the necessary corrections at no additional cost.

Our goal is trousers that fit you perfectly, and we'll work with you until they do.

From final measurements and fabric selection to delivery: 2–3 weeks for construction + shipping time (typically 3–7 days within the EU, 7–14 days worldwide).

The consultation and measurement phase can take anywhere from a few days to a week, depending on your schedule. In total, expect 3–4 weeks from initial contact to wearing your finished trousers.

For clients in Italy and surrounding regions, we're happy to arrange in-person consultations and fittings when schedules allow. This can be particularly helpful for first-time bespoke clients or those who prefer a hands-on experience.

For everyone else, we've developed a comprehensive remote measurement process with detailed photo and video guides that works exceptionally well. Many of our clients prefer this method for its convenience — you can take measurements at home on your own schedule, and we're available via video call if you need real-time guidance.

Whether in-person or remote, you'll receive the same level of personal attention and expertise.

Your custom pants include:

  • Free initial consultation (video call or email)
  • Made-to-measure construction by hand
  • Your choice of fabric and all customization details (pocket style, waistband type, buttons, etc.)
  • One round of alterations if needed
  • Fitting guidance and care instructions

Pricing starts at €500 and scales based on fabric choice and complexity of details. We'll discuss exact pricing during your consultation based on your preferences.

Yes! We ship worldwide. Shipping times vary by location:

  • EU: 3–7 days
  • North America: 7–14 days
  • Rest of world: 10–21 days

Shipping costs will be discussed during your consultation based on your location.

We work with a curated selection of high-quality wools, wool blends, cottons, and linens suitable for different seasons and occasions. During your consultation, we'll discuss your needs (everyday workwear, special events, climate considerations) and recommend fabrics accordingly.

You're welcome to request specific fabrics or send us material you'd like us to work with — we're flexible.

Yes! Our gallery and Instagram show completed projects and details of our construction. We're also happy to share additional photos during your consultation or answer specific questions about our techniques and finishing.

Because each piece is made to order for your specific measurements, we cannot accept returns for refunds. However, we stand behind our work — if there are fit issues, we'll make alterations until the pants fit correctly.

You may cancel your order before we begin construction (before fabric is cut) for a full refund minus any fabric deposits already paid.

Each pair comes with specific care instructions based on the fabric you've chosen. Generally, we recommend:

  • Dry cleaning for wool trousers, or gentle hand washing for some fabrics
  • Hanging (never folding) to maintain shape
  • Steaming rather than ironing when possible

Proper care means your pants will look excellent for years.

Absolutely. Many clients order 2–3 pairs in different fabrics once they've experienced the fit. After your first pair, subsequent orders are faster since we already have your measurements and fit preferences on file.

We're also happy to discuss package pricing for multiple pairs.

Yes. Our process works for any body. We tailor to your measurements and preferences, regardless of gender.

Off-the-rack trousers are designed for a statistical average — a body shape that doesn't actually exist. If you've ever dealt with a waist that gaps, thighs that pull, or a rise that never feels right, that's why.

Made-to-measure starts from your body, not a template. Every dimension is based on your actual proportions, so the trousers sit, move, and drape the way they should. The result is comfort you notice immediately and fit that lasts — because the garment was built around you, not adjusted after the fact.

If you've ever struggled to find pants that fit well off the rack, or you want something that feels uniquely yours — yes, this is for you.

Our process is designed to be approachable even if you're new to bespoke tailoring. We'll guide you through everything, answer your questions, and make sure you feel confident at each step.

Email us or use the contact form on our Contact page. We'll schedule a free consultation to discuss your style, needs, and answer any questions you have. No commitment required — just a conversation about what you're looking for.
