Is Suitsupply’s custom program any good? Here’s a hands-on review of a custom Suitsupply suit, shirt and overcoat.

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.

Heck, I’ve recommended this modern Dutch clothier countless times to friends looking for a wedding or groomsman suit.

Sure, Suitsupply has caught some heat over the years for their aggressive marketing campaigns and possibly pretentious in-store reps (personally, I’ve never noticed this), but they still make a great suit at a relatively affordable price.

I say “relatively” because Suitsupply isn’t cheap. But it’s also not overpriced. In other words, you’re getting a lot of value for what you pay.

I tried on a few different cuts and sizes, and the rep determined that a 32R Lazio with alterations was my best bet. After tailoring, it fit okay, but not great. For the price (nearly $600 after tailoring), I was disappointed.

I ended up donating that suit and decided that Suitsupply just wasn’t for me.

But that all changed…

Suitsupply Custom Made

Suitsupply’s marketing department reached and asked if I’d like to review their newly revamped custom clothing program, in exchange for my honest review.

They said I could start the process online and finish it up in a store (which is great because the closest Suitsupply is a couple hours drive from my house).

I was too curious not to jump on this opportunity, but I wanted this review to be thorough. So, instead of just getting a custom suit, I asked for the whole getup: suit, shirt and overcoat.

They agreed, and I got started on the design process at home, before visiting a store.
