Suitsupply’s ‘Design Your Own’ Tool

If you’ve ever built a custom garment on any online made-to-measure brand’s website (like Indochino), then Suitsupply’s interface will feel familiar.

You pick your garment type, fabric (they stock more than 1,000), construction and details. You see your changes in real-time as you choose your lapel width and pocket style.

This type of garment designer is commonplace these days, but I have to say that Suitsupply’s execution is above average. It feels clean and intuitive, like a Volkswagon.

They offer as many or more customization options than any other MTM brand, including some that you won’t find elsewhere, like several different types of shoulder construction.

Between canvas, shoulder and lining options, you can really create a unique jacket with Suitsupply.

For your suit pants or odd trousers, you can choose your preferred type of waistband, closure and fly. You can add pleats, cuffs, pick stitching, suspender buttons and unique pocket types.

I love that you can add side adjusters to the waistband instead of belt loops. When it comes to keeping your pants up with style, side adjusters are far superior to belts (in my humble opinion).

Even the optional waistcoat can be customized to your liking, which is a nice touch.

For custom outerwear, you can choose between six different fabrics (wool, cashmere, camel and blends) and three different styles. From there, you can customize the length, lining and buttons.

The bottom line is, Suitsupply has done a great job with their online customization tool.

But none of that matters if they can’t deliver a garment that fits properly, so let’s move on…

What I Ordered

Suitsupply offered a full getup with no restrictions on fabric or add-ons, and you better believe I took advantage of this.
