So I recently got my hands on a suit from Suit Supply and realized the three suits I owned were in drastically different price points, so I figured I would put all three head to head to see what the best men’s suit is and what the best value for money is.

Hugo Boss was our first contender for best men's suit with this blue suit coming in at $500. This was made with a fused construction. Suits are typically given structure to give your body a flattering shape and at this price point that’s done through a process called fusing. Majority of the suits you see in department stores will be fused since they’re not only easier to produce at scale but much cheaper. A fused suit will have a cardboard, boxy like feel that doesn’t drape your body naturally since the fusing is pretty rigid. The 100% wool and the fact I had it tailored made it look presentable and wearable, the feel of the wool or the final fit wasn’t anything to write home about regarding Hugo Boss.

Suit Supply was our mid tier option to find the best men’s suit. It starts at around $500 but this one was highly specced up to $1500 and was made-to-measure. All of Suit Supply's suits are unlined, half-canvased, or fully canvased. There is no fusing to be seen in the store. Mine was specced to be fully canvased as I was trying to replicate my Tom Ford. I got to select every little detail on the suit which was fun customizing. It featured the same finishes as Tom Ford with the milanese buttonhole, rolling lapel, the lack of felt under the collar, the barchetta pocket, and the functional button holes. The right accessories can make even the cheapest suit look expensive which is why I decided to wear this one with my Beckett Simonon shoes. Beckett Simonon makes dress shoes starting at $220 and keeps the quality super high. They use Blake stitching and use full grain italian leather. The shoes are handcrafted in Columbia. Suit Supply proved to be a great middle ground due to their diverse offerings, great service, and relative affordability.

Tom Ford is one of the world’s best suiting brands but do they actually make the best men’s suit? The customer service was incredible at Tom Ford and they really did a good job at making you feel special. The suits start at $3880 but can go up many multiples depending on fabric, made-to-measure, an addition of a waistcoat, etc. I don’t find the need to splurge as the entry level fabrics are exceptional as is. I was offered four fittings to get this tailored to perfection. The fabric is all made from Zegna Couture which is one of the best brands in the world. The fit is where Tom Ford stands out from others. The suit drapes on your body so well causing anyone to look good in it.

The end of the video has my conclusions and winner for best men's suit.

The way suit supply went about putting a whole suit together was just awesome. Very detailed and knowledgeable, definitely a place i will visit to buy my next suit

Hi, I liked your video very much. A few constructive comments if I may. The Tom Ford suit is made in Switzerland in the Zegna factory. Its all Zegna with Tom Ford design. I like his suits and the construction although as you mentioned every celeb is wearing the same model. 2 button SB peak with tix pocket. I think yours could have a slightly better fit. The Suitsupply suit had great fabric, one of my favorite mills Fratelli Tallia di Delfino. They are one of the top Italian mills that is not as well known as some others like Loro Piana, Zegna, Reda or Vitale Barberis Cononico or even Drago. Scabal is in a different realm. The suit however, made in the PRC, is not worth $1500, just like Hugo from Boss was not worth the $500. Suitsupply for $500-$700 I can see, but not their custom. They make huge profit on that, probably cost them about $300-$450 with the vest (Im not a fan of DB vests). The salesperson was great, If I were still on Madison and Fifth Ave, in my shops I would hire her in a minute. Hugo Boss has gone way down over the years, even the main line. Poor quality and high price. I was the largest retailer of Boss in NYC during the 1990s when it was made in Germany and Switzerland. I think you missed an important segment before going up to the $3800 price of Tom Ford and that is Canali. You did mention it. Canali has the most consistent and universal fit of any garment in the market. They are only made in Italy and only use Italian products. Its a family owned business since its inception and they run a tight ship. For a mostly hand made garment, it is the best priced and best fitting product out there. I was the first importer of Canali to the USA, before it was called Canali. Brioni is out there as well, but it has a certain look, very strong shoulder, slightly older customer. Brioni was always the standard for Italian hand made suits. I could go on but don't want to take up too much space in your comments, reach out if you like I have worked with all these brands and more and been to their factories. Take care and looking forward to watching more of your luxury lifestyle.

With the price of a TF suit you can buy a fully bespoke suit in London, which makes TF a complete waste of money, even if it fits well.

Tom Ford makes exceptional suits. Ermenegildo Zegna provides their ateliers or tailors that construct each suit by hand. Full canvas construction with all the handwork that commends a bench made suit. The most common fits being Windsor, Shelton and O'Connor (Tom Ford wears the Windsor himself). In my view, the Windsor fit is the most classic and elegant which features a fuller chest, roped shoulder and wide peak lapel. This is inspired by English Style tailoring from the houses on Savile Row. As well, the trousers are full and cover the dress shoe/boot. This is traditionally how suits were made in the 20s, 30s and 40s (super comfortable with lots of mobility). If you can afford a TF suit/jacket, it is quite the treat if you appreciate suiting and durable like a suit should be. I have owned Suit Supply and I find the trousers and jackets do not have the same construction quality and wear pretty easily. As well, their template/cut of suits are very trim and it can be hard to find a suit that is comfortable if you aren't a model size. Generally, sleeve length and trouser length will be short off the rack. Appreciate the video, and enjoy the suits!

Honestly, not crazy about the Tom Ford. Shoulder divots, collar gap. I think I’d expect a suit at that price to drape better too. Way more bang for your buck with Suit Supply.

[lantzkulp]

Great video! Nothing better than exploring and appreciating a somewhat lost art of tailoring. Suits will always be the best piece of apparel a man/woman can get.

As someone who's been extremely lucky enough to have been wearing Tom Ford suit since 2009 and also own suit supply (RTW) Tom Ford suits has very different cut to Suit supply. I own multiple cuts from both brands but what set Tom Ford apart is the amount of canvasing and shaping it has underneath the jacket which help "shape" the jacket. even half canvas you can feel the difference between the two. Another observations which I don't think the vid had mentioned is arm holes, TF has very high arm holes where it helps further accentuate the hour class "or nip in the waist" (as TF calls it) and it further hugs your body more. The trousers are high waisted but with a curved side pocket which sits flatter on your legs when warn, is a detail not many people notice or companies do.

Aivy is an amazing style consultant. She fitted me for my first linen/wool/silk blended suit and it fits me perfectly. She has also fitted my wife for three pairs of trousers that look great on her. A consummate professional with a wealth of knowledge on selecting features for a suit. I look forward to working with her again. Gorgeous suit from SS Asim. Congratulations.

You need a navy blue pin stripe and for higher fashion with chalk board lines super fine 150s

I actually prefer the look of the suit supply suit, but they’re both nice.

[JasonDebly]

The dimple impression in the shoulder on the Tom Ford suit is a classic problem with off the rack suits. At that price point I’d go fully bespoke.

[SurinG]

great job I've got a new found respect for suit supply especially because of the service you got and showed you might want to hit them up for sponsorship as I doubt that I'm the only viewer that's less apprehensive about giving them a try for my next suit and everything I've currently got is fully tailor made 🙏🏽👍🏽

Excellent video. The best video of this kind/on this topic. Exactly what I was looking for!

[Bikrant]

Always appreciate the high quality content!

[american_pride]

i plan on travelling 6 hours to a city to get a suit from suitsupply. i live in an area where the only place i can get a suit is from a big box store and i wouldn't trust the salesmen there in a million years. i really do appreciate this guide.
god bless and stay safe

Slight collar gap on the Tom Ford, but the back does look nice and smooth (except for the vents). I would also leave more room in the jacket waist, might be more comfortable.

[obinna]

There's a brand based in Paris that I buy suits from that is cut better than that Tom Ford suit for less than $300. My fear is they're gonna become so popular that their prices are going to skyrocket so I've started buying them in bulk.

[mikoj]

The Tom Ford suit appears to awkwardly crease and bunch around your upper arm in various poses. Is that noticeable as you wear it and just a function of the cut?

[gregs]

Suit Supply sales associate was awesome!

[tonyp]

No doubt in my mind suit supply is the best suit for the price point in the world 🌎 and couple that with trained sales advisors, beautiful store interiors, diverse rtw and made to measure products, fresh hip styling light years ahead of older brands, best fabric mills, vast selection of fabrics, most options in sartorial details
