Savile Row tailors stuckOzempic 'nightmare' of repeat alterations to save bespoke suits worth £7,000 each as they're forced to work overtime Savile Row's tailors are working overtime to alter bespoke £7,000 suits that no longer fit their Ozempic-taking clientele, a new report has revealed.
These requests often eat away from time that business owners on the famed London street could spend on new commissions; altering a suit costs around £1,600, clients would typically fork out between £5,000 and £7,000 on a replacement.
The 'miracle' weight loss drug that was once Hollywood's best-kept secret is now easily available to anyone looking to drop a couple of sizes - and not just diabetes patients that jabs like Ozempic and Mounjaro were intended to help.
One customer, the master tailor continues, has 100 suits that are 'around £7,000 a piece' and 'understandably doesn't want [them] to go waste'.
The problem is these custom creations aren't easy to trim and tweak and alterations mostly require overhauling the garment entirely.
