Suitsupply started providing a made-to-measure program in 2019.
I’d have beloved to check out that program, however sadly, the closest retailer the place it’s accessible in Chicago, and flying there and incurring the price of aircraft tickets and journey would have been fairly costly. Frankly, I’d be a lot better off simply getting an area made to measure go well with from a model right here in Minneapolis.
Costs for the Suitsupply MTM fits begin at $999, however I’m certain the vast majority of the materials value somewhat greater than that.
What Suitsupply Fits Are We Reviewing?
After wanting on the web site, we figured it was higher to really go to the shop so we might truly strive various things on and ensure we get the match proper so we are able to present an sincere, practical overview. So we went to their newest native retailer in Edina, Minnesota. Once we had been there in 2020, they provided 5 totally different kinds or matches; the Washington, the Sienna, the Napoli, the Lazio, and the Havana.

What’s the distinction between half canvas and full canvas, and why one is best than the opposite? Our information to go well with building has you lined!
Half Canvas building on a go well with jacket
Once I browsed the Suitsupply web site, in addition they had one thing known as the “Jort” assortment, they usually touted it to have a totally unstructured go well with with none kind of canvas. Sadly, they didn’t have that on the retailer, however I’d like to see it in particular person as a result of that’s extremely uncommon in an off-the-rack go well with. You’ll be able to generally discover it in Italian bespoke clothes, however it is a first for off the rack.
Sadly, the “Jort” assortment was unavailable each on-line and in-store on the time of this overview.
Within the retailer, I actually favored that they offered tags that stated if one thing was half canvas or full canvas so you may evaluate issues on the spot. On-line, you may test underneath options reminiscent of half canvas or full canvas.
General, I discovered that the workmanship degree on Suitsupply fits may be very excessive for an off the rack garment. All of the seams are straight, every thing is believed by means of, and it’s a properly sewn jacket. Not like many conventional manufacturers on this value vary, Suitsupply fits don’t really feel stiff, and the materials are good model names, they usually additionally really feel good.
Nation of Origin: Manifold
Suitsupply fits appear to be made in lots of locations. Simply after I was on the retailer, I noticed “Made in China” and “Made in Myanmar” labels. It additionally appeared to me that sure go well with kinds had been made in sure international locations or at sure factories, they usually had a restricted vary of materials and choices; it’s most likely as a result of one manufacturing unit focuses on an unlined go well with and the opposite manufacturing unit on a lined go well with and so forth.

Lots of their sleeve heads present some puckering, which is a trademark of a Southern Italian tailoring custom, and it’s a bit extra relaxed and informal in step with the particular person they need to attain.

The usual buttons they provide are plastic, however if you happen to go together with a customized program, in addition they have horn buttons or metallic choices, however they’re restricted total.
Match of A Suitsupply Swimsuit: Our Greatest Concern
By way of match, Suitsupply is throughout the board very slim even if you happen to get their common white jackets. So if you happen to’re a slim particular person or if you happen to like slim match fits, it’s positively value a glance. The jackets are all brief throughout sizes, they usually usually don’t cowl your rear. Additionally they have a comparatively excessive buttoning level, which implies you sometimes get a visually longer leg line.
Normally, the shoulders are all comparatively tender, with a small quantity of padding. Whereas you will get unpadded shoulders, even the padded shoulders don’t have a lot when it comes to padding, particularly in comparison with many different fits you will get within the US.
Shoulders are barely padded and are tender on the whole. You too can go for the unpadded shoulders.

I didn’t like that their armholes had been smaller than many different manufacturers that you will discover within the US off-the-rack.
Raphael felt actions on his again and his higher arms felt constricted.
Once we are on the retailer, till the second half of 2020, if you happen to wished go well with pants, you possibly can solely get flat entrance choices that didn’t provide a single pleated pant as a go well with. Only recently, they apparently additionally began providing pleated pants go well with choices of their customized program.
Suitsupply fits aren’t simply good for slender, shorter, or regular-height guys but in addition for taller guys. Even off the rack, they provide fits that fit your needs with very lengthy sleeves and lengthy torsos, in fact, in a typical extra fashionable silhouette. However, if in case you have difficulties discovering a go well with that matches you with out breaking the financial institution and also you’re tall, take a look at their choices.
The Technique of Getting A Suitsupply Customized Swimsuit
Let’s get Preston to share his expertise of getting a Customized go well with from the model: from taking measurements till the go well with’s remaining alterations and becoming.
1. Get Fitted In Retailer, Not On-line
For those who determine to go together with the customized program, you should buy a go well with each on-line and in-store. Whereas the choices for materials, linings, and buttons would be the identical, whether or not you order on-line or in-store, if you happen to go to a retailer to order and get fitted, they will make alterations to clothes manufacturing unit degree, which is sweet.
They’ll make alterations for you if you happen to get fitted in-store.
Which means that when you’ve tried on a base mannequin within the retailer, they will begin your order with issues like alterations to the sleeve size, the pocket place, the buttoning level, and so forth from the start.
2. Material & Model: Not All Materials Can Be Made In All Types
I usually run fairly sizzling and certainly have a situation known as Hyperhidrosis marked by extreme perspiration. So when it got here time for me to select a cloth for my go well with, we favored an unlined jacket choice that we noticed. Nonetheless, because it turned out, that fashion was solely accessible in what Suitsupply calls the Traveller vary, which options materials from Cerruti in excessive twisted yarns which are very wrinkle resistant.
There are 13 materials accessible within the Traveller vary, however in fact, it could have been good if I might even have picked one. Nonetheless, if I wished this materials in an unlined building, I must have gotten a jacket within the Havana mannequin, which, in fact, wouldn’t have labored for me. Going once more with the Washington mannequin, I simply needed to transfer on and discover a totally different material with aligning.
Suitsupply Havana Swimsuit fashion is slim with a pure unstructured shoulder
As Raphael alluded to earlier, the customized program actually isn’t fairly so customized in any case. Solely sure materials can correspond to sure kinds, and when taking a look at their web site in-store, they provide an iPad, however that is considerably cumbersome to make use of. It was troublesome for us to determine what was and wasn’t potential between kinds and paired with gradual load occasions. It made for an unenjoyable expertise. Even so, as soon as I had chosen my material and my match fashion.
3. Decide A Lining: Selections Are Restricted
I needed to choose a lining subsequent. They’ve acquired a restricted choice of stable linings in addition to digitally printed ones that includes patterns like paisleys or micro-patterns harking back to what you may see on a tie.
Suitsupply’s restricted choice of stable linings.
General, we thought that the choice was considerably restricted, with fewer choices than you’ll discover at a high-quality customized tailoring store. I finally went with a darkish inexperienced micro-patterned lining as I favored the way it seemed in opposition to the navy of the go well with.
4. Select Trouser Particulars
So far as particulars on the trousers are involved, I selected to go together with facet adjusters relatively than belt loops. Facet adjuster trousers include buttons for suspenders in them. If I had gone with belt loops, they might have added buttons for suspenders, however sometimes, you desire a pair of trousers to both accommodate a belt or suspenders and never each.
Facet adjusters.
I might additionally choose whether or not or not I wished my pants to have a cuff or flip up and the way large that cuff could possibly be. The trousers additionally naturally include sufficient of a cloth reserve that if I had been to alter my thoughts about how massive or small I wished a cuff to be, this could be an choice as nicely. In the end, I made a decision to go together with the extra formal silhouette that the jacket was establishing with its massive peaked lapels that I’d go together with a cleaner look that includes no cuffs.
5. Choose Buttons
Aside from the totally different kinds, the web site offered little to no details about the composition and supplies of the buttons I might select for a customized go well with. The buttons on the dearer off-the-rack choices from Suitsupply are marketed as being made from horn, so we’d assume that a few of the comparable ranges for this program would even be horn. Nonetheless, lots of the buttons we checked out and felt did really feel like plastic as nicely.
Buttons getting used on Suitsupply Fits.
6. Add A Waistcoat (Non-obligatory)
I additionally had the choice of including a waistcoat to the go well with, however I did should needless to say if I selected one of many single-breasted basic Cape City or Ferrara fashions, that the identical material I selected for my jacket lining would even be used because the again of the waistcoat. This appeared as if it may be a bit loud to me, so whereas I considered going for a double-breasted waistcoat, it was minimize in an odd method that didn’t actually go well with my construct.
Suitsupply’s choice of waistcoat kinds
In the end then, I made a decision simply to skip the waistcoat and make it a two-piece go well with. Additionally, provided that I do simply overheat, we thought skipping this additional layer would even be finest for that motive.
7. Get A Second Pair of Trousers (Non-obligatory)
An extra choice was to order a second pair of trousers in case I used to be involved about sporting the trousers out extra rapidly than the jacket. I don’t anticipate that I’ll be sporting the go well with usually sufficient for this to be a problem, although, so I skipped including a second pair of pants to the order.
Preston opted out of getting a second pair of trousers.
8. Get Measured for Alterations
At first, their listing of choices seemed fairly spectacular till we realized that alterations might solely be performed to sure line gadgets across the go well with with a unique quantity related to them, which makes them way more restricted.
One such numbered merchandise that was a degree for tailoring on the jacket was known as a “collar pleat.” We had been unfamiliar with what this may imply, so we requested our gross sales affiliate. He additionally didn’t know, so he thought to ask the in-store tailor. Nonetheless, she didn’t occur to know both. So, in different phrases, two menswear historians, a gross sales affiliate, and a tailor had been all stumped by this time period, which was unusual, to say the least.
Suitsupply’s in-store tailor.
As to what could possibly be altered, the appropriate and left sleeves could be adjusted individually, and this is smart as a result of most individuals do have discrepancies in arm size and shoulder drop. The jacket’s waist could be altered, however the shoulder top can’t. We might think about that this may be within the system for his or her full made-to-measure program, however we haven’t had that have to this point. Other than that, the size, legs, and waist of the trousers can all be adjusted as nicely.
General although, nothing might actually be performed about that excessive collar gapping after I moved.
Our Suitsupply Swimsuit Evaluation Expertise and Verdict on Their Fits
Raphael’s Evaluation
As , Preston and I’ve a really totally different physique, and we wished to see what the go well with seemed like on every of us. To start with, for me, it was nice that we went to the shop as a result of if I’d have ordered my regular dimension of 44 common or possibly a 42 common on-line, it could have all been method too tight in Suitsupply.
I weigh about 205 to 210 lbs, which is about 92 to 95 kilograms, and I’m about 184 centimeters tall or six foot one. The dimensions that Suitsupply that match me the perfect was a 46 common, and I’ve by no means had a 46 common jacket in my life. Sadly, they solely had the Lazio and the Napoli fashion in my dimension accessible within the retailer, so no Havana and no double-breasted choices regardless that I’d have favored to strive that on as a result of I just like the silhouette.
Raphael and Preston have totally different physiques.
Each the Lazio and Napoli have barely padded shoulders, however the Lazio was a bit slimmer. Napoli was common, had bigger armholes, and was wider within the waist. It seemed just like the Lazio within the 46 common matches me higher than the Napoli and for an off-the-rack jacket, the match was okay. It wasn’t nice, and it wasn’t horrible.
In fact, you can not evaluate the match of a ready-to-wear garment to that of a bespoke go well with as a result of people are all asymmetrical and off the rack clothes are symmetrical. Typically, I meet individuals who say, “Oh, I purchased this go well with off the rack, and it matches completely.” For those who assume like that, chances are high that your requirements for match are simply too low.
The Lazio
As I discussed earlier than, due to the slim sleeves, I might at all times really feel some restrictions after I moved. As quickly as I moved my arm up or shook somebody’s hand, my collar would hole. The sleeve pitch was off of my arms, which resulted in wrinkles on my sleeve, and naturally, my proper shoulder is sort of a bit decrease than my left one, so that you see corresponding wrinkles at the back of the go well with and the facet of the jacket.
General, I can see why Havana is their hottest jacket. It’s lots softer than the Lazio and the Napoli, I’d have favored to strive each the single-breasted and the double-breasted variations, however once more, they didn’t have it. Possibly I’d have hoped that they’d have provided that they might ship some clothes in for trial, however I don’t understand how their complete stocking course of works, and it was not provided to me.
I actually just like the curved stomach on their double-breasted jackets, and one hallmark they’ve for these is that they transfer the buttonhole relatively near the surface. In my thoughts, it doesn’t look that nice, and it mimics the Italian model Sciamat, for some motive. I ponder in the event that they acquired impressed by them.
Suitsupply’s double-breasted go well with with a pleasant stomach curve.
Clearly, the jacket is only one a part of the go well with, so now, let’s take a look at the trousers or pants. For those who’re a daily of the Gentleman’s Gazette, I’ve a giant bum and massive thighs, and whereas my waist is about 36 or 37 inches, my thighs are nonetheless fairly large. Once I tried on the Suitsupply pants, even a 42-inch waist was tremendous tight in my thighs, and naturally, they had been all flat entrance.
Initially, I believed, Nicely, they’re providing two pleated pant kinds–the Brentwood and the Braddon–and I might simply select these. However sadly, for fits, that wasn’t potential. So I believed that in the event that they don’t have any off-the-rack fits with pleated pants, let’s strive the customized program. However once more, I wasn’t in a position to decide on a pair of pleated pants within the customized program, which is a really primary request.
So, even if you happen to’re paying up cost to customise your go well with, you may solely change just a few issues right here or there inside their realm of choices, which in my case, didn’t even embrace a well-fitting pair of pants or not less than the potential of a well-fitting pair of pants.
Suitsupply’s pleated pants choices
I believed, If that’s not an choice, can I simply purchase a pair of pants that’s pleated and a jacket? However once more, that appeared not possible. Why? The separate pants are solely accessible in very restricted material choices, which might not have been accessible for the jackets. So, no, Suitsupply couldn’t present me with a go well with that I might have truly worn, which simply blew my thoughts. For those who want roomier pants, Suitsupply is certainly not the model for you.
Initially, the gross sales affiliate tried to speak me into flat-front pants and touted their match assure, however as soon as we tried issues on, we each agreed they couldn’t make me even a pair of pants.
Preston’s Evaluation
For a little bit of context, I’m somewhat over 5 toes 10 inches tall and weigh about 125 kilos. Transformed into metric, these are about 177 centimeters and 56 kilograms. I’ve acquired a really totally different construct than Raphael does, and we thought it was vital for our readers to understand how Suitsupply might or couldn’t match totally different physiques.
Preston making an attempt on some fits.
I’m clearly a thin man, so unsurprisingly, Suitsupply’s thinnest match choice, the Washington, was the one which match me the perfect. All of their different fashions had far an excessive amount of extra material to even be thought-about. I’ve roughly a 28-inch waist and sometimes put on a dimension 38 common jacket. Which means that I’ve a 10-inch drop, which is way extra dramatic than common for many males.
Whereas the Suitsupply jacket dimension that will match me the perfect was certainly a 38 common, I couldn’t have gone with the accompanying go well with pants as Suitsupply, like most different retailers, presents solely a 6-inch drop. Due to this fact, I needed to go together with the customized program as nicely.
Preston’s jacket measurements.
The bottom mannequin, Brescia trousers in a 28 common match, had been fairly good on me. They needed to be taken in barely, however they did match higher than the subsequent step down, which might have been a 26 common. Particularly, the 26s would have seemed tremendous slim on my legs even for a way skinny they’re, which wouldn’t have been proportional to how the jacket was becoming.
The jacket’s sleeve pitch was additionally not excellent, however I’ve accepted this in each jacket that I put on as a result of my arms have a little bit of a everlasting bend on the elbow on account of a bodily incapacity I’ve had since start. Extra important, though, was the truth that there was a large quantity of collar hole after I moved my arms even barely.
All instructed, the go well with value $669, excluding tax. It was delivered to us a couple of month after we first ordered. At which level, I attempted it on once more to see if any additional alterations could be essential at this level. Because it was delivered to us, the go well with positively match higher at this stage than it had initially, which we definitely hoped could be the case. The trousers had been kind of excellent at this level, however this once more was anticipated as they had been already fairly good and simply wanted minor alterations within the waist and leg size.
The sleeves’ match on Preston isn’t excellent however is appropriate.
Whereas they’re definitely a bit shorter, skinnier and total extra fashionable than I’m used to in my trousers, we determined that they couldn’t be any longer. In the event that they had been, the narrowness of the leg opening would most likely trigger ugly bunching round my ankles the place the leg meets my shoe, which wouldn’t be an excellent look.
So, this shorter size is the place they wanted to be. And whereas the middle crease falls a bit in a different way between my two legs, that is extra as a result of my knees aren’t fairly symmetrical additionally on account of that very same bodily incapacity. I made a decision this was one thing I wasn’t captivated with altering additional.
Whereas the trousers match nicely at this stage, the jacket nonetheless wanted important work. At first, it was nonetheless a lot too massive within the midsection with a great deal of extra material.
The trousers match simply nicely on Preston.
The collar gapping was additionally nonetheless fairly important, and the sleeve pitch was nonetheless off, although, on this second level, this isn’t a giant deal to me, as I’ve already said. And now, relatively than being a lot too brief as they initially had been in-store, the sleeves had been truly barely too lengthy for my liking. So, the jacket wanted one other spherical of alterations.
Whereas we needed to wait a number of months earlier than returning to the shop to do that as a result of COVID-19 pandemic, as soon as we truly acquired the method underway, the gross sales affiliate who took over my order from this level ahead was very nice and simple to work with. Not that the others weren’t, in fact.
We took within the midsection of the jacket even additional, zeroed in on the match of the totally different sleeve lengths, and made a few minor alterations that the gross sales affiliate stated would assist alleviate the collar hole extra. Nonetheless, as Raphael talked about, this most likely wouldn’t be completely potential.
There’s nonetheless some extra material within the jacket’s midsection.
The turnaround time for this second spherical of alterations was sooner by a couple of week. I wouldn’t name the outcome excellent, however it’s higher. There’s nonetheless some extra material within the midsection, however as a result of my construct is so strongly triangular, this most likely wouldn’t be alleviated completely with something apart from a completely bespoke garment.
That is additionally possible the case for the sleeve pitch, which is why I made a decision to not make it a problem. I’m glad with the sleeve size now, and whereas the collar gapping has been minimized extra, it’s not gone completely as you most likely anticipated.
Is A Swimsuit from Suitsupply Value It?
Preston: Talking personally, I must say “not presently.” As Raphael talked about, neither of us would have been even remotely glad with a real off-the-rack go well with ordered sight unseen on-line as neither of us has physique varieties that match into Suitsupply’s idealized mould.
Match – Suitsupply
Whereas I used to be capable of get a completed go well with that I’d name good or maybe even excellent total, I don’t assume that the just about $700 price ticket and the a number of rounds of in-store tailoring are value it for one thing that I don’t like that rather more than my present off-the-rack go well with choices that had been already in my wardrobe.
As talked about, the gross sales associates that we labored with had been all nice and as useful as they could possibly be. Nonetheless, total, this tradition OTR program is considerably irritating in its expertise due to the restricted quantity of choices and combos that you just actually have accessible. Additionally, the vagueness of what’s accessible at totally different occasions and round phrases like “collar pleat” added to the confusion and frustration within the total expertise.
The customized OTR expertise from Suitsupply continues to be considerably irritating due to its restricted choices.
So, would I store with Suitsupply once more? Nicely, I would cease in each occasionally simply to see how their choices change over time, and provided that the go well with trousers did match me fairly nicely, I would contemplate getting just a few pairs to put on on their very own as odd trousers.
Due to the kind of buyer and physique kind that they cater to, and due to the way in which I store for and buy menswear, I don’t assume that I’m actually their ideally suited buyer. Suitsupply isn’t going to develop into a daily vacation spot for me anytime quickly.
Will I put on the go well with that I acquired? Sure, I believe so as a result of it does match me comparatively nicely. It’s light-weight and cozy, and it offers me with a flexible navy choice. However as I said, it isn’t now routinely my favourite go well with simply because I went by means of this extra custom-made course of. So, these are my ideas on whether or not Suitsupply is value it, however let’s briefly throw it again to Raphael to get his ideas as nicely.
Pants choice – Suitsupply
Raphael’s Suitsupply Evaluation Verdict
Raphael: So, in conclusion, what did I believe? Nicely, they’ve their match assure for his or her customized program, and even when one thing comes from the manufacturing unit already adjusted, and it nonetheless doesn’t fit your needs, they’ll alter it in retailer without cost or included.
Clearly, I wasn’t even capable of purchase a go well with. For Preston, we might have simply returned it and stated, “Hey, we’re not completely proud of the match,” and they might have gotten us our a reimbursement, however we thought it could have been unethical as a result of we wished to overview the go well with and if we had returned it, they might not have offered it to anybody else.
We wished to movie a video to get the complete expertise, and we did get that, so it was okay in my thoughts paying for that.
For those who as a buyer simply need to find yourself with a well-fitting go well with, most likely you’ll have returned it, identical to how I considered Preston’s.
Preston’s completed go well with.
Contemplating that an organization is named Suitsupply, they deal with fits, and their slogan is, “Don’t simply slot in, discover your personal excellent match,” it’s an enormous disappointment that they couldn’t provide me with a go well with. Frankly, if I had been them, I’d be embarrassed.
Normally, I believe it’s good to have a big community of shops so you may truly see the issues in particular person. Aggressive manufacturers in that value vary are most likely one thing like Spier & Mackay. Personally, I’d be eager about their made-to-measure program as a result of I’d prefer to see if they will accommodate all of the asymmetries in my physique, what the material choices are and if I can actually select all the main points.
