I'd second this. I haven't purchased from either but I've been doing a lot of research and talked to both of these MTM shops recently and I personally would prefer Enzo Custom over Suit Supply.
I've done MTO/MTM from SuSu before (not the LA locations though) and the results were perfectly fine. However, you have to do A LOT of the driving yourself, as they'll do their darndest to jam into the SuSu look. If you're 6'5" 170lbs and really into cycling, long-track speed skating, and field hockey, it'll probably work for you. If not, it's an uphill battle to get away from that. The other thing is, they typically only have what feels like eleven fabrics available at any given time for custom projects. A place like Enzo Custom might not have fabrics that are popular in the SF-verse, namely lesser known English merchants/mills, but they at least have at any given time the full lineup of Italian goodness along with Holland and Sherry + Scabal. I super recommend them.
NB: I've said the words "Enzo Custom" a lot in this thread and now it's kinda making me nauseous. Theirs is a great MTM product and I find myself reaching for two core suits I got from them years ago way more than I do my more recent stuff, including bespoke stuff that cost me a lot more in terms of $ and energy, but the cheesy name is, like...really cheesy, man. I mean, I guess it's supposed to be like, "OMG so Italian amirite??" but the owner is a youngish Jewish fuh-nanz dude from Florida who started doing this during peak #menswear as a side hustle, and a decade later it somehow became a full-time nationwide thing that is probably successful beyond his wildest dreams, and I have to wonder if he ever kicks himself for going with what was probably a placeholder name for the paperwork at the time, and not a proper faux-heritage sounding thing like Cad & The Dandy or Spier & Mackay.
Better than Combat Gent though....
