Get ready for your custom suiting appointment
We can’t wait to meet you!
Thank you for scheduling your custom suiting appointment at Gilded Social! We're thrilled you've thought of us to outfit your moment.
Here are a few bits & tips before you arrive. If you have any questions or need more information, don't hesitate to call, email, or text us. We're excited, are you excited?
LOOK FOR THE GARAGE AT CREEKSIDE AND FOLLOW THE ORANGE SIGNS
We're located at 101 Mill Street, Suite 109, Gahanna, Ohio 43230 behind Coldstone Creamery on the backside of the Creekside Conference & Event Center. Parking is available in the underground parking garage. Below are detailed instructions:
Enter the garage at Mill and Walnut Streets.
Follow the Orange signs to the 101 Mill Street building and snake around to the right to the Orange parking section. Follow signage for Gilded Social.
Once you have parked, use the elevator on the left in the Orange lobby marked “B” to Floor 1(STAR).
Out of the elevator turn right and head through the glass doors to the plaza.
We are directly to your left! Suite 109
IF YOU PARK ON THE STREET
We are down the alley between Nostalgia Brewing and Goldstone Creamery. As soon as you get to the fountain towards the back - hang a U turn to the right, and you'll run right into our door. Suite 109
You can also access us by going through the Sola Salons double doors. Walk all the way down the hall, past the elevators, and go back outside through the double doors to the plaza. Make an immediate U turn to the left, and you'll run right into our door. Suite 109
Get Ready for the Magic of Custom
When you order your suit or tuxedo with us, making your vision come to life is our number one priority! But a close second is a perfect fit - it's what makes any formal garment look totally next level. Having your perfect fit on file with us ensures that when you come back for your next suit, tuxedo, sport coat, shirt, polo, over coat, bomber jacket, you name it - it fits perfectly just like the first.
Our 30 measurements and an expert tailor will transform your wardrobe. No matter what, you can consider us your expert fancy fashion specialists from here on out.
MEET OUR LITTLE GREETER
Our sweet little, hypoallergenic, Shihtzu pup, Chewy, is often with us at the shop. He mostly just likes to say hi, get a treat, and then nap for the rest of your appointment! If that would ever be an issue for you or your guests, don’t hesitate for a minute to let us know.
WE NEED A VISION
So we can best prepare for your visit, we want all the intel you can send us ahead of time. It could be screenshots of other guys' outfits, something you found online, or even photos of something you've owned before you want to recreate. Just want a classic look? Say that, and we'll be ready for ya!
TIMING IS KEY
We have access to thousands and thousands of fabrics. In order for us to show you the most options that align with your vision, knowing what you want ahead of time will allow us to have all the right swatches in the shop for you to choose between - especially if you're looking for something beyond classic colors like black, navy, or grey. We want to be efficient but don't want to leave anything on the shelf!
A METHOD OF PAYMENT
These garments are fully custom, so payment in full is required at your first fitting. We take all major credit cards, cash, and Venmo for these orders.
DRESS FOR MEASUREMENTS
It can be helpful, when taking measurements, if you are wearing tighter fitting clothing - even if that means just having an undershirt on beneath multiple layers. Don't worry - that doesn't mean that what we order is going to come in skin tight! It just ensures that we have accurate measurements to achieve your desired fit.
ALREADY SET ACCESSORIES
Do you have any specific accessories you plan to wear with what we're ordering together? Maybe you have shoes you want to wear or a specific belt or tie? If so, bring them so we can incorporate them in as we're styling. Don't have them yet? That's ok! At least knowing you'll have them is good enough.
PLEASE BE RIGHT ON TIME
If you're a bit early, please grab a coffee and hang tight until your appointment time. Since we do not have a waiting area, we don’t want you to accidentally pop in on an appointment that's just wrapping up. Also, please call or text Tanya at (614) 271-8257 if you are running late.
APPOINTMENT LENGTHS
We block 1 hour for shopping appointments - 1.5 hours if we are selecting multiple outfits.
Fit checks and alterations fittings are 30 minutes.
On a time crunch? Let us know and we'll get you in and out in whatever time you have to give us!
BOOKING THE NEXT APPOINTMENT
We will book your fit check once the garment has arrived. But if we are on a short lead time (less than a month), please come with your calendar so we can book in the moment.
A NOTE ABOUT BODY FLUCTUATIONS
If you are working towards any body composition changes between now and when you're planning to wear the suit, don't sweat! All of our custom suiting and casual wear garments include complimentary alterations for the life of the garment. If the fabric exists to make the changes - we will!
PREPPING THE LOOK
Ordering your outfit is just the first step. There is always more to wearing a perfectly fitting suit than just that! Lucky for you, we are never going to let you out the door without a good plan for prepping your outfit for the big day - sometimes that means talking about tips for travel or ensuring you have all the right accessories selected. Have questions? Never hesitate to ask!
COMPLETING THE WARDROBE
We would love if you'd consider us for your other wedding weekend or everyday fashion pieces - a rehearsal dinner, vacation, engagement party, big event or meeting for work, conference or presentation. Just text Tanya to schedule!
DRESSING A CREW?
We are always happy to style for more than one person in an appointment - just give us a heads up so we can block time accordingly! Bring Dad, your brother, your officiant, grandpa - anyone who's in the market for a fabulous suit or tuxedo is welcome, and we are always so grateful for your referral.
