Thanks to all for the feedback on Part One of this series with my Enzo Custom suit review.

As a quick recap, Enzo offered to make me a suit after a fitting in their Washington, DC location.

Looking at fabrics at Enzo

I offered to write about it two parts. The first was a thorough review of their process; this second is a review of their product.

I opted for a 6×2 double breasted suit in a medium grey colorway. We chose a Glen Plaid with a light blue overcheck (a “Prince of Wales” pattern).

The turnaround is about three weeks from submission to delivery. That seems to be on the quicker side for made-to-measure. I got an automated email and was able to schedule my second fitting with Jared for the next week.

The Second Fitting at Enzo Custom

The second fitting is where the clothier assesses the finished garment and then allows the in-house alterations tailor to make any necessary adjustments.

Based on how thoroughly Jared and I went over the shoulder construction (softer, lighter padding and the extended sleevehead), I hope for it will sit well.

Also, having done MTM before, I anticipate having to slim the sleeves and nip the waist. That’s usually done to give the clothier a little wiggle room – you can take cloth out, but you can’t put more in!

The shoulder does sit beautifully, with minimal divoting or denting. As expected, the sleeves are a bit full, and the lower waist could be suppressed. So, we take the arms in 0.75? and bring the waist in 0.5?.

At the time, the trousers look good. More on that later, though. Jared puts the order in, and it’s done a few days later.

Enzo Custom Suit Review

The Super 150s cloth is, as expected, fantastic. Perhaps it’s the extra material from the double-breasted jacket, but the suit feels substantial. There are no loose threads, snags, or stains.
