The Quiet Revolution: Bernice and the Evolution of CYC
Bernice, a quiet force within the storied walls of CYC, is not one for the limelight. Yet, her impact on the brand is undeniable.…
New cloth, seasonal commissions, trunk shows and other reasons to visit.
The Italian Hand. Founded in Pollone, Piacenza has spent generations working with wool, cashmere and other noble fibres. We look at the softer handle, fluid drape and tactile character that make its cloth a distinctly Italian proposition for tailoring. This season, Piacenza suit commissions include a complimentary shirt using available offcuts.
Cerruti’s story is closely tied to Nino Cerruti, who helped move menswear towards a lighter, less rigid way of dressing. Today, that idea still makes sense: cloth with movement, an easier silhouette and tailoring that isn't overly formal. This season, Cerruti suit commissions include a complimentary shirt using available offcuts.
English Cloth Arrives at CYC New to CYC, Dugdale Bros has been based in Huddersfield since 1896 and remains the town’s last independently owned cloth merchant. For this season, we look at the other side of the tailoring conversation: English worsteds with a drier handle, clearer structure and the resilience needed for regular wear.
At CYC, tailoring isn't just a job, it's been our family's passion for generations. We understand that everyone is built differently, and a single house-cut just doesn't cut it. That's why we've developed our own unique styles to fit you just right and create that sharp, confident look – think lightly padded shoulders for a natural drape, wide defined lapels for a stronger silhouette, a lighter canvas for comfort, and unlined jackets perfect for Singapore's weather. It all starts with a simple conversation. Let's talk about what you're looking for.
With a comprehensive array of fabrics and design elements at your disposal, we craft custom suits for every facet of the modern gentleman's life – business, leisure, and momentous occasions alike. We offer iconic styles, from soft Neapolitan Spalla Camicia shoulders, to various lapel designs, including mao collars, with fully customisable widths to suit your frame.
CYC Tailor's tailored shirts embody our Shanghainese tailoring heritage, where meticulous detail is paramount. Our Singapore master tailors bring this precision to Western styles, crafting unique pieces like our signature one-piece collar – perfectly fitted to your neck. Choose from hundreds of collar and cuff styles or replicate a favorite. Expertly drafted and sewn locally.
CYC Tailor offers trousers in classic and unique styles, including Gurkhas and elasticated waistbands, featuring details like inner waistband grips and reinforced hems for lasting quality. Choose from a range of fabrics – cottons, denims, and Irish linens for smart casual, or wool for business formal. We also tailor shorts, ensuring the same bespoke precision for every legwear need.
A good suit starts with the right cloth.
We work with established cloth houses, each with its own approach to handle, structure and drape. Some are known for crisp high-twist worsteds; others for softer wool, cashmere, linen and seasonal blends. The choice is not simply about the name on the bunch. We help you choose according to how the garment will be worn, how you want it to feel and how it needs to perform in Singapore.
Sometimes the easiest place to start is not with a garment, but with where you intend to wear it. The same suit shouldn't do every job. We cut for where it's going to be worn.
Wedding Suits
A wedding suit should make sense for the ceremony, venue and what happens afterwards. From classic suits and tuxedos to lighter daytime tailoring, we can dress the groom, family and wedding party without making everyone look identical.
Business & Travel
A modern business suit should withstand the rigors of travel, not just look good at 9am. Engineered with high-twist, anti-crease, and natural stretch fabrics, it offers all-day durability and flexibility from airport terminals to boardroom presentations.
Not every suit needs an occasion. A good shirt, pair of trousers or business suit should earn its place through regular wear. We focus on useful cloth, comfortable proportions and pieces that work with what you already own.
Tailoring does not have to look formal. Softer jackets, separate trousers, linen, cotton and textured wool bring the advantages of fit and proportion into more relaxed clothing.
"Many tailors struggle to match my body shape, but at CYC I found that the tailoring not only complemented my build but also gave me the confidence to experiment more with different cuts and fabrics...That first impression left such a mark that I knew I wanted to come back, and over time I naturally became a loyal customer."
"I think my first experience with Ruys played a big role in building my loyalty to the CYC brand. He was incredibly detail-oriented and someone whose suggestions I could genuinely trust. I appreciated how he consistently recommended options that were both practical and timeless — qualities I really value."
