25 Best Custom Suit Destinations for Men for 2024 (Online and In-Person)

Discover where to buy the most stylish custom-tailored suits online or in person (for every budget) that will fit flawlessly and make you look your best.

The Benefits of a Custom Suit 

Custom suits offer a better fit than something you pull off the rack and serve as a “middle ground” between off-the-rack attire and truly bespoke suits.

Custom tailored suits are are “made-to-measure” (MTM), adapting existing suit patterns to your measurements. MTM suits provide the benefits of tailoring at a relatively affordable price point, and they are also available via online custom clothing companies and brick and mortar custom suit retailers.

Made-to-measure, aka custom suits, start with standard suit patterns which correspond closely to the client’s size. Custom suit makers customize the standard suit pattern and final product according to the client’s preferences in fit and style. Benefits of a custom suit include the ability to control details and fit at a lower price point and shorter production times than fully-tailored and bespoke suits.

Buying a Custom Suit Online vs. In-Person

Should you buy a custom suit in person or online? Here are the benefits and drawbacks of each:

Buying a Custom Suit Online: Pros and Cons

Technology has democratized access to made-to-measure suiting. Online custom clothiers like Black Lapel, Hockerty, Lanieri or iTailor tend to sell exceptionally affordable made-to-measure suits, often offer extensive choices of fabrics and patterns, and can usually turn finished products around fairly quickly.

In exchange for affordability and convenience, online custom tailors tend to require customers to take their own measurements and evaluate the fit of the final garments, which can be challenging.

Buying a Custom Suit In-Person: Pros and Cons

A number of brick-and-mortar retailers like Brooks Brothers and local shops like Geoffrey Lewis in Washington DC still offer in-store made-to-measure or bespoke suit services.

The benefits of buying a custom suit in person include the ability to get your measurements taken in person, see and touch the fabrics and finished products, and return for a fitting. The cons? Often suits from brick-and-mortar focused custom clothiers cost more than online-only options and more traditional outfitters may not offer convenient online ordering for future purchases.

Buying a Custom Suit from an Omnichannel Retailer

Another option is to find a custom clothier that has both an online and real-world presence. Omnichannel retailers like Indochino and Suit Supply offer the benefits of an in-person experience along with digital and mobile convenience and the ability to order new suits quickly.

Where to Buy a Custom-Tailored Men’s Suit Online

If you’ve decided that you are ready to purchase a made-to-measure suit online, here are some of the best options on the internet:

Indochino

Indochino is a brilliant example of an innovative men’s clothing company helping men dress sharp in the digital age. While they had some growing pains as they grew quickly, today they offer incredible value and stylish custom suits.

Indochino isone of my favorite places to buy custom suiting. I visited Indochino’s showroom in Georgetown in Washington, DC, where they took my measurements and got me fitted for an initial suit. I then returned to the showroom once my suit was made, where they made some adjustments to the slacks and jacket and refined my measurements in their system.

Once you invest the time to get those initial measurements right, ordering custom suits is about as easy as buying from Amazon. I’ve ordered 4 suits (with my own money) since that initial suit (which Indochino provided for free).

Indochino emphasizes entry-level customized fits and fabric selection at affordable price points. Kyle Vucko and Heikal Gani founded the brand in Vancouver in 2007. After a decade of online-only services, Indochino opened retail stores throughout Canada and the U.S., and now offers dozens of stores and showrooms.

Indochino’s instructional videos guide you through the at-home measurement process for its app, which is supported by a Customer Experience team.

Prices for Indochino’s suits start at $449 for basic cuts and fabrics and $499 for premium fabrics. You can also be measured at one of Indochino’s retail stores.

Black Lapel

I’ve worn several Black Lapel suits for the better part of a decade, and they have become one of my absolute favorite options for made-to-measure clothing.

Black Lapel’s refined look and online interface help it to continue to stand out in the now-crowded world of digital custom suiting. Founders Warren Liao and Derek Tian started the brand in 2011 to make “suits that are designer brand quality at half-to-a-third of the price.” (Black Lapel was since acquired by Blank Label, another custom suit brand on this list, during the pandemic.)

You will need a tape measure and a friend to measure yourself and create your online custom profile. Black Lapel suits start at $699 for the brand’s Core Suit and go up to around $1,500 for luxury fabrics like merino wool from Australia. Black Lapel also has a New York showroom where you can make an appointment to meet with a stylist, or you can schedule a virtual stylist appointment.

Suit Supply 

Dutch clothier Suit Supply‘s philosophy is to be “there for people who want to be seen.” Blending sexy, classic, and forward-looking cuts, Suit Supply’s custom suits combine a European vibe with modern fabrics and an emphasis on slim fits.

Founder and CEO Fokke de Jong started the business in 1999 as an all-online business, and began opening a wide network of more than 100 stores in 2007. Today, Suit Supply offers custom suits, jackets, formalwear, and outerwear online and in person.

Suit Supply presents its online “Custom Made” feature as “the world’s most comprehensive tailoring program,” which means it offers selections of dozens of options for nearly every aspect of suit jackets, trousers, waistcoats, and finishes.

The company’s online platform requires you to use your own measurements and advises you to use your own suit elements that already fit for guidance. For additional services and in-person measuring, you must visit one of Suit Supply’s retail stores. Prices start at $648 for basic wool and cotton fabrics, ranging up to $1,148. 

Spier and Mackay

Known for a phenomenal combination of value and quality that rivals better-established (and expensive) brands, Spier & Mackay offers a range of stylish off-the-rack and made-to-measure suits.

Rikky Khanna founded Spier and Mackay in 2010 in Mississauga, Canada to provide better quality shirts at a superior price via e-commerce. While Spier and Mackay’s online ordering system can seem less intuitive than other manufacturers, with fabric selections depicted in small, uniform squares and suit options based on limited base patterns, their suits get rave reviews.

Sale pricing for custom suits starts at $428 (and potentially less), going up to $1,198 for custom tailored attire constructed with the likes of Marling & Evans flannel.

Theodore (THDR)

Australia-based digital-first custom menswear brand Theodore (THDR) looks to recreate the custom tailoring experience with digital technology. Their custom experience is centered on the brand’s easy-to-use, AI-based Pocket Tailor app which will take your measurements and which also “learns” your body and improves over time.

While the company is based in Sydney, Australia, Theodore delivers worldwide, including to the United States. You can schedule a virtual appointment to learn more. Founder Timothy Aquino is a former director of menswear sales and serial entrepreneur.

Business and casual suits are priced at $949 or $1,499 depending on fabric. 

Blank Label

The brand Blank Label began as an online clothier for “young, rebellious hipsters,” but now offers many custom suit options for white-collar professionals who desire a sophisticated selection of made-to-order suits, shirts, and outerwear.

Founded in 2009 by Danny Wong and Fan Li, Boston-based Blank Label provides a sleek, easy to use, and premium online experience.

Entry level all-season wool suits start at $685, while luxury made-to-order Loro Piana suits retail for over $2,000.

Blank Label promises a “high touch” online fitting and ordering experience as well as in-person fittings at their Boston showroom.

Proper Cloth

Proper Cloth has a tech-forward feeling with clean suit designs and a motto of “Custom Clothing. Made Smarter.” The highly-rated brand is known for its “elegant, wearable tailoring” and is one of my absolute favorite options for custom-tailored dress shirts for men.

The New York-based company started as an outstanding online custom shirt maker in 2008. Under the dedication and vision of founder Seph Skerrit, Proper Cloth expanded its offerings to include custom, made-to-order suits in 2019.

Proper Cloth is leading the way with proprietary algorithms to determine fit that include your style preferences and body type. Pricing starts at $695 for basic wool and stretch wool suits, going up to $1,495 for Loro Piana wool suits.

You may use their digital tool to perfect your fit online, or book an appointment at one of Proper Cloth’s two New York showrooms. You can also book an appointment in Proper Cloth’s virtual showroom to get advice on placing an online custom suit or shirt order.

Lanieri

With a reputation that combines the performance of high-end Italian sportscars with the artistry of a Fellini film, Lanieri is Italy’s first e-commerce business for men’s suits and clothing.

Lanieri is “dedicated to men’s elegance.” Based in Biella in Northern Italy, Lanieri was initially named “Natural Gentleman.” The company was founded in 2012 by entrepreneurs Simone Maggi and Riccardo Schiavotto.

In 2020, the business was acquired by leading Made in Italy wool manufacturer Reda 1865. Lanieri offers video guides for measurements and a “perfect fit” guarantee.

Lanieri’s wool suits start at about $700 and go up to $1,785 for Loro Piana twill and sharkskin suits.

MTailor

In commercials running on CNN, MTailor touts how its app that can use your phone to take a series of measurements across your body to easily create a perfect fit.

The business leans heavily on the benefits of its technology, boasting that their app, which captures your “3D point cloud,” is 20% more accurate than a tailor.

San Francisco based MTailor was founded in 2013 by two Stanford computer engineers, Miles Penn and Rafi Witten. Suit styling is a bit of Silicon Valley-meets-Sportscenter.

Prices are on the lower end for custom suits which are derived from a single base pattern, starting at $399 for basic choices, with a $499 tuxedo and $799 pinstripe and windowpane merino wool options.

Sene Studio

Inclusive of men, women, and all body types, Sene Studio’s clothing has garnered favorable press in publications as diverse as Forbes and Teen Vogue. The brand’s “size free” clothing, including FlexTech stretch performance fabric suits, is customized exclusively to each customer using the brand’s patented AI platform which doesn’t rely on a friend’s measurements or a smartphone scanner.

The Los Angeles-based company was founded in 2016 by Mark Zheng and Ray Li. Made-to-fit FlexTech workleisure suits for men are $595 and come in a selection of ten regular colors and two seasonal options, and will be delivered within two weeks.

Hockerty

Hockerty offers a remarkably wide selection of custom clothing for men, including made-to-measure trench coats and overcoats in addition to suits. The business has managed to blend the high order volume of a digital-native brand with a wide range of custom-made attire.

The Zurich-based business was founded in 2008 as Tailor4Less by three friends from Barcelona, Humbert Codina, Alberto Gil and Andreu Fernández.

Hockerty’s app for customization is sophisticated and relatively easy to use. Pricing is simple for customized, made-to-fit suits following a basic pattern, starting at $299 for cotton-polyester blends and rising to $600 or more for premium wool suits. Hockerty promises quick turnaround with delivery of their custom suits for men in two weeks.

Knot Standard 

Knot Standard blends traditional customer service with a variety of sleek, modern styles and a sophisticated digital measuring app to create well-fitting and stylish custom suits for men.

Founders John Ballay and Matt Mueller have persevered over more than a decade, fine tuning their custom suit experience after some early feedback to deliver a premium product.

Knot Standard’s website and services put “customer driven” into action, offering dedicated style advisors.

An entry-level Knot Standard made-to-measure suit starts at $895, with premium fabric choices going for as much as $3,495.

Lords of Wool

Lords of Wool provides a clean, easy-to-use interface and affordable suit options. Launched in 2020, Lords of Wool is an offshoot of Hall Madden, a modern made-to-measure company that specializes in in-person custom suits for men.

Lords of Wool’s home try on kit will help to refine suit fit and customization of patterns that sister-company Hall Madden uses in their showrooms in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, San Francisco, and Washington, DC.

iTailor

iTailor is possibly the most affordable option for made-to-measure suits with the widest choice of fabric, texture, and color. (The company boasts that it has served over 260,000 customers in 166 countries.)

Oliver Wicks specializes in European-styled custom suits using quality Italian and British fabrics. The company aims to allay fears over the online ordering process, boasting of five star Trustpilot reviews and promising a full year’s worth of alterations at a local tailor for up to $125 per suit, as well as a generous return/remake policy.

Based in Bulgaria, which offers preferred access to European fabric mills and other materials, Oliver Wicks was founded by Borislav Miloev and Eliya Atanasova in 2012, originally as Dragon Inside.

Surmesur’s pricing starts at about $700 for basic wool suits and rise to about $1,600 for trendier styles with luxury fabrics.

Hangrr

Hangrr emits a younger, hipper vibe than some of its online custom clothier peers.

Brooks Brothers styles itself as “the original authority on American style” and provides a classic made-to-measure suit experience at select stores.

I had a chance to review Knot Standard’s custom suit experience in person at their Washington, DC showroom a while back. At the time, I wrote:

While you’d have to pay multiple thousands of dollars for a bespoke experience on Savile Row, the style consultants at Knot Standard’s showrooms around the United States … make you feel like million bucks while translating your measurements into an online digital profile that offers as close to a true bespoke experience as is possible at a price point that begins at about $800.

Kashiyama 

Kashiyama is Japan’s top made-to-measure brand, with suits, fabrics, and colors seemingly inspired by Savile Row. The brand was founded in 1927 in Tokyo, Japan, and made a run at expansion into the United States.

Kashiyama also hosted popup stores and ambassador gatherings in places like Wichita, Austin, Dallas and Atlanta.

Today, it appears that the venerable J. Press has developed a relationship with Kashiyama to produce “Pennant Label Custom Suiting” via its stores in New York and Washington, DC. (Kashiyama’s U.S. website, kashiyama1927.com, redirects to J. Press.)

According to an email I received from Kashiyama, J. Press’ Pennant Label Custom Suiting will retain “all production aspects, quality craftsmanship, and unique fabric selections of Kashiyama – The Smart Tailor,” and that “garments will continue to be expertly tailored in our state of the art company owned Kashiyama factory.”
