Not only is the bespoke suit I got from Germanicos the best suit I've ever owned, it's probably my most treasured piece of clothing in my life. It is a unique shade of blue and fits me like a glove. I actually look about 10 kilo lighter when I wear it. Get compliments everywhere, can't recommend these guys enough!! read more

To start with the service was exceptional. I was based in Canberra & they decided to take me on in Canberra as a customer & flew in to take measurements etc. I was getting fishtail pants made plus shirt & waistcoat for my wedding in 7 months time. My pants were amazing, the shirt was good if not a little tight around the arms, they never measured my arms(apparently girls can't have muscles) but it fitted good. Due to a family death, I couldn't make one fitting. So was mailed the waistcoat 3 weeks before my wedding, it was too big. Sent photos to be told it'd 'flatten out after a pressing'. I pushed to get the alterations I wanted. It came back fitting much better but they took in the sides not just the darts I asked for, making it a bit tight over the hips. Also no pockets. I couldn't unpick them. This was super frustrating as I specifically asked for a pocket watch pocket. I was told 'all of our pockets open' yet when I took it to a local tailor he couldn't find any pocket and had to put in a small pocket for me. I also never got the embroidery I asked for of both of our initials and the date, not on my waistcoat inner collar or shirt. When I mentioned this, it was never responded to. I feel as soon as I paid my last payment (just before my waistcoat was posted out to me) they dropped me like I was too much trouble. I would of thought 7 months would be plenty of time, but 5 days out and it's not what I paid for. So dissapointed as I paid over $2000, I will never use or recommend these people to anyone ever. It seems all the men are happy they just can't cope with women's bodies, no matter what they tell you. read more

My wedding suit was measured and designed in the Melbourne Germanicos Tailors showroom, I then had my subsequent fittings in Perth. The whole process took 4 weeks and the end product is AWESOME! My wedding photos are going to look amazing, in my new perfectly fitting bespoke suit, designed by me and the team at Germanicos Tailors Melbourne. very happy :)))) read more

Definitely As good as it get's in terms of Bespoke tailors in Australia! If you live in Melbourne you are lucky, because the team at Germanicos bespoke tailors showroom on Lonsdale St has got to be the most passionate and knowledgeable in the industry. But in the end it is all about results, and I can let you all know that the suit that Germanicos made for me, is BY FAR the best looking and fitting suit I have ever worn. I am walking around the CBD in my bespoke suit, thinking I am the best dressed man in Collins St ;) , my self esteem rises when wearing the suit as I get many compliments. I can't recommend Germancos Bespoke Tailors in Melbourne highly enough, trust me you will be amazed with the end result, no matter what body shape you are!! read more

Meet the Business Owner: John T.
John Tellis established Germanicos Bespoke Tailors in 1999. His motives were quite simple, and despite having tailoring in his blood he could never find a perfectly fitting suit. With all this in mind Germanicos was born. John still personally overlooks all suit orders to ensure the Germanicos quality is never compromised.

Have seen better Suits in Target and Kmart's clearance sectionMy 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 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. read more

I am an international business man and travel the world for 8 months of the year for work. I travel to warm climates but also to cold climates. I needed suits that fit me well but also travelled well , non crease. At the same time needed suits that would breath in the hot climates like Dubai, but also keep me warm in the cool climates of Canada. Whilst on a business trip to Melbourne I was recommended to Germanicos from the concierge at the Windsor hotel where I was staying. He said they were they best in the country and the service would be exceptional. I only had time for a few fittings in Melbourne, then the suits and shirts were finished and shipped to me in São Paolo Brazil for free! The fit was immaculate and the style and fabric amazing, they even embroidered inside the suit (warm) for the hot climates and (cold) for the colder climates to help me when packing. The service from John and Michael was exceptional, and we have built a great rapport. I highly recommend GERMANICOS (www.tailor.com.au) to anyone who expects nothing but the best even in value. Great job! read more

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 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! read more

I signed up to Yelp because I wanted to give my gratitude to this company. I have been wearing suits professionally for 25 years. Most of them off the rack and a few made to measure suits in Hong Kong on my travels in between. I am proud to say I have finally found heaven when it comes to my professional attire. Not only are my Germanicos suits the best fitting I have ever owned, they are also stitched perfectly and the fabric just feels so luxurious to wear. Every time I wear my suits and I mean EVERY time I am getting compliments which is strange as I never used to get many compliments! The suits make me feel confident and on top of the world. I am left handed and the tailor called it in the first minute, I knew I was in experienced and capable hands then! Do yourself a favour and go to Germanicos by far the most experienced and the best price for true bespoke not made to measure like Hong Kong. read more

I've had Germanicos suit commissioned and I must say the suit fit was the best I've ever had. I was fitted by a guy called John and he is exceptional , so knowledgeable and really understood the parts of the jacket where I've had issues in the past with fit and he eradicated them. I got a suit from the top range which is full canvas . The cheaper ones there are not made in Australia he said they make them in Portugal to keep the costs lower and they are half canvassed. Where the top range is a full canvas bespoke suit and made in Melbourne. A great experience and product overall read more

If you're looking for a wedding suit, I genuinely recommend Germanicos. I didn't know exactly what I wanted when I first walked in. I just knew I wanted to look sharp without feeling overdressed or uncomfortable. The team listened, explained the options clearly and helped me choose something that actually suited me. The final suit fitted perfectly and still felt comfortable after a full day of photos, dinner and dancing. I felt confident from the moment I put it on. It was easily one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! read more

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 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 read more

I just got back from my honeymoon and I wanted to share my experience with Germanicos. I received so many compliments on my wedding that it's not funny. I felt and looked a million dollars in my Germanicos Bespoke Suit. The fabric colour and style is just perfect, the fit is the best I have ever had and the suit is very breathable. John and Michael were a pleasure to work with and very passionate and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tailor as you can't go wrong! read more
