The BEST Custom Suits? An Honest Suitsupply Review

Suitsupply needs no introduction: the brand is often touted as the best place to buy a suit right now. Boomers had Men's Wearhouse, and we have Suitsupply. But is Suitsupply's custom program any good? Here's a hands-on review of a custom Suitsupply suit, shirt and overcoat.

To me this clearly illustrates that the typical advice of not to have pleats, cuffs and wide lapels if you're short is simply nonsensical and outdated. None of these things detract from an attractive silhouette, which is by far the most important consideration. The outfit is incredible and such stylistic details are key components of its success. The pleats carry the leg line all the way up to the waistband which is far more flattering, cuffs keep the trouser draping and sitting on the footwear properly and the wider lapels accentuate the build up of the chest and slimming of the waist. I have these features on the majority of my trousers, jackets and coats and never has someone remarked that they make me look shorter; on the contrary, people are much more likely to compliment them. Pleated trousers with side adjusters or ideally braces are also leagues more practical and comfortable too, in my opinion. Cheers.

Gorgeous suit, exceptional fit. The overcoat impressed me the most. You look so well proportioned and put together!

[amill]

Thanks for the honest review. I count on stuff like this to make decisions. The overcoat looks great with the suit!

I had two custom suits made up in May, travelling 700 miles to be measured in-store. I had 1 three piece slightly retro looking outfit made up in ash grey and one two piece very similar to yours, in a green/brown wool/silk/linen. Wish I'd known about the overcoats!

The instore experience (With Kosta at Pitt St, Sydney) was very enjoyable, I was always made to feel very in control and Kosta really saw his job as being to offer some alternatives to my wilder excesses (like the fire engine red lining I wanted in the grey suit). he was also aware that I was working to a budget and didn't try to push me beyond that.

The suits took 4 weeks to arrive. Fit was superb, comfort was amazing and price for two custom suits was only marginally more than I'd pay for a single Anthony Squires suit off the rack. Would thoroughly recommend the experience.

Love SuSu, the Havanna and Lazio fit work best for me. In the past I used to dress up more but I prefer nowadays a more smart casual look. Will try out a custom navy blazer and pleated pants and shirts. Am a happy customer since more than 10 Years

Since I have a similar build to you. I always rely on your videos. You are quite literally a life savor for us shorter kings. Can you make an updated video/blog ranking the best custom suit place you've experienced? With an emphasis on fit?

I was hesitant at the beginning of the video...my opinion changed immediately as the video went on. Thanks for this, Brock! There's a Suitsupply location where I am so I will check it out!

Thanks for sharing, Brock! I am roughly the same body type as you, and Suitsupply's custom program has been my go to for a few years now. In fact, I recently picked up my new navy suit in their traveler fabric earlier this week. You are definitely right about the measuring process being the most important. Luckily, I have been measured by the same specialist at the location near me for years now, so the experience is always enjoyable and stress free. Cheers!

Love seeing suit reviews, man! I was wondering about their MTM since they launched it. That fabric is incredible looking. Can you adjust the rise of the pants?
Great as always, bro!

[richardparadox]

Hey Brock, I would love an updated made-to-measure/bespoke comparison video of all the brands you mentioned. Maybe a ranking and what you get from paying more.

[KingKromah]

awesome video, for me life is super simple. As long as i pick my size off the rack it fits like it's tailored to me, like a glove. Always grateful for that.

[geoffrey]

Love those E.Thomas fabrics, something that makes Suitsupply stand out.

[Abbas-Syed-Sb]

That suit is definitely your style, and the proportions work with your build too. You look like a lawyer with that suit

[timnijman]

Great suit, Brock! Suits you (no pun intended) very good.
I might try the custom program as well. Thanks for your honest review.

[BrianTran]

Out of all the custom suit companies you have been through, which suit did you like the best? And where would you put suitsupply on this list?

[wallyg]

Great color and fabric choice man! Super versatile🔥

“Svelte”.

A new word to my vocabulary!

The finished product really depends on the skills of the in-store advisor. My first experience was horrible. The advisor ignored my request to have the collar lowered by 1.5cm. However, the store manager was proactive and offered to alter my jacket in priority. In the end, my jacket was delivered the same day, alterations included. My second experience was absolutely flawless. I was measured by the national sales manager for Canada who was in town to train his sales crew on the new MTM program. I've since re-ordered 3 suits, 2 sports jackets, 2 pairs of trousers and 5 shirts without any issues. What I appreciate the most with SuitSupply is their relative affordability.

Not my favorite color pattern suit. However; you nailed it with the Navy blue overcoat. Brings out the suit color as the contrast has a sharp look. 👍👍👍
