The contemporary clothing section on the 2nd floor of the main building of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store opened on Wednesday, March 2, 2022, with the addition of new Italian import brands .

Here, we focus on Canali, a brand within contemporary clothing. We thoroughly examine their "Su Misura" bespoke program, which is only available at the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store in Japan.
Canali veteran stylist Mr. Tomono and men's category specialist Mr. Ebihara will give you an in-depth look at the Canali "Su Misura" program.




For over 80 years, Canali has upheld the tradition of tailor-made Italian luxury and men's elegance.
Since 1934, the brand has cultivated the exceptional value of Made in Italy, showcasing masterful craftsmanship and creating masterpieces that offer superior comfort through a perfect balance of culture, history, and style.
Canali's tailoring continues to be innovative yet refined, maintaining a style that emphasizes high-quality materials and attention to detail. Now in its third generation, Canali is a family-owned company with 1,500 employees worldwide, operating 180 boutiques and more than 1,000 stores in over 100 countries.
The brand has garnered support from numerous celebrities throughout its history, and its branding skills and high-quality sewing techniques are truly remarkable in the industry.



Tomono: " Su Misura" is what we call "made to measure" in Japan, meaning we can make your garment in your preferred fabric and size. It's a tailoring service that also allows you to select the size and make adjustments to fit your body shape.
Canali's "Su Misura" program covers three items: suits, jackets, and trousers.
Currently, the models we use are characterized by patterns designed for Asian body types. Furthermore, the sewing specifications are designed to be soft, minimizing the use of interlining and other auxiliary materials around the shoulders. The garments are designed from the outset with Japanese (Asian) people in mind.

At Canali, we always have swatch books (fabric samples) suitable for each season (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) available. You can freely create your favorite items with your favorite materials whenever you like.
We offer over 1,000 different fabric variations imported directly from our home country. Of course, you can also select linings and buttons. We will help you find the perfect fabric for your needs.



Tomono: The best thing about this garment is that the sewing specifications are tailored to Japanese people, and the tailoring is excellent thanks to the high level of sewing skill. The sleeve attachment, in particular, is highly regarded. It's "Su Misura (made to measure)," but the sewing specifications are very close to bespoke, which is another major point.
Furthermore, we determine the optimal sizing for each customer, make adjustments to shape their body, and create clothing that better suits their body and preferences.

Ebihara: Canali's "Su Misura" program is a menu I would highly recommend to customers at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store.
Our customers are busy with work and other commitments, and they shop within their limited schedules.
This "Made to Order" service, which allows customers to order their favorite items in their preferred materials at their preferred time, is surely a welcome program for them.
If you contact our category specialists in advance, we can prepare selected items for you, saving you time.
Canali's high-quality garments, crafted with exceptional tailoring techniques, are a collection designed to flatter your look and help you build a satisfying wardrobe. We confidently recommend them to our customers at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, many of whom are active in the forefront of business.


Tomono: "Su Misura" begins with listening to the customer's requests. We confirm through conversation what the customer wants and what is most important to them.
With "Su Misura," we offer various options, such as allowing customers to choose from a selection of fabrics, or having them try on samples to determine their size first. We tailor our approach to each customer's needs.
Once the fabric and sizing are decided, we will review the details regarding options and customization.
Finally, we will inform you of the completion date when we will hand over your order, and that will complete the general process. Your order will be ready for pickup approximately two months after the order date.


Tomono : The "Su Misura" process takes approximately one hour. For subsequent orders, we can shorten the time as we have your measurement data. We take the time to have a thorough conversation with the customer, so especially for first-time orders, please allow one hour.

Ebihara: If you consult with our category specialists in advance about your shopping schedule, we will do our best to assist you.
Specifically, to avoid keeping our customers waiting, once an appointment time is set, we will go to the shop in advance to prepare and await your arrival. We will also assist you with things like "combining with other shops/products" and "scheduling adjustments" regarding the completion of your order.
As you order several garments from us, we will get to know your preferences better and be able to offer you the most suitable suggestions.
Of course, we can also suggest coordinating the suit with other items, not just the suit itself.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions or inquiries.
For inquiries, please contact the Personal Shopping Desk for Men on the 2nd floor of the main building of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store at 03-3274-8430 (direct line), or you can also contact us through the "Mitsukoshi Isetan Remote Shopping App" .


Tomono: We will keep your customer records and measurement data on file. Regarding alterations, if you bring the garment to the shop at a later date, we will check the fitting and discuss the most suitable method with you.
For those considering their next garment, we can utilize your measurement data to offer fabric suggestions. Our seasonal fabric swatch books are updated every six months, ensuring that we always have a fresh selection to offer our customers.

Ebihara: Even if you don't go directly to the shop, if you ask one of our category specialists, they will be happy to assist you with information on not only Canali products but also other brands. We will do our best to help you in a way that minimizes any inconvenience to you.


We've introduced you to our "Su Misura" (made-to-order) products so far, but of course, we also offer ready-made items.
Please try the services of the contemporary clothing and category specialists on the 2nd floor of the main building of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, the only place in Japan to offer the Canali "Su Misura" program.
