When we reviewed Suitsupply, we were blown away by the customer service, customization, and quality of the fabric available. Although these suits are on the more expensive side—suits start at $450 and the price increases depending on what accessories you buy and what parts you'd like measured to fit—it'll be well-worth the investment for a suit you'll love to wear. If you prefer to have yourself measured in person, you can stop by your nearest Suitsupply and a consultant will give recommendations and get you fitted.
