I have to agree as well. I can see myself getting a blazer or a suit or two from them. I like some of their shoes too.

I'm given to understand that when these guys started their mission was to bring properly constructed RTW from 'the big Italian factories' to the mass market, I don't know to what extent they have honoured that commitment, but it sounds like a very good start to me. Frankly, at those prices if they are half/ fully canvassed, they blow anything else available in the UK (at that price-point) right out of the water. Perhaps will go have a look in 'the city and report back.

But i can, i own two of those lovely suits made from italian fabric by Reda (who supplies other "high street fashion" labels just as well.). The quality is outstanding, given the price.

Yeah, this is a great place to live and dress. And see bare-breasted women in advertisements.

Guilty as hell.

See above...the suits are half-canvassed, the fabric is great, but the details are really kickin the thing. Their label is stitched into the left side of the jackets by using two different colours, the forming the word SUIT SUPPLY.

The consensus on the dutch fora is that Suitsupply is about the best quality available at that price point. They have OTR collections and a few MTM lines, of which the most customizable line starts at around 400 euros. I have no personal experience with their suits, but I'm likelygoing to try their MTM line in the near future.

Some of those guys look completely indifferent and "do not want" at the womenz, especially the one who pulls the skirt up... so, which one is Rach?

Indeed, a small selection:




The company was founded a few years ago by a law student wanting to exploit the overcapacity of Italian suit making factories. I own two of their suits and they're pretty good quality. When choosing MTM you can specify full canvas at no extra cost.
The company will go very far to guarantee customer satisfaction: when I picked up my suit at the drycleaners, three cuff buttons were ripped of. Went back to the store, they didn't have the buttons in stock so took them of a suit that was in the rack. An hour later i received a text message telling me my suit was ready. All of this for free.

I've tried on one of their new sportscoats (2nd on in the jackets section), I was suitably impressed. It's quite structured, a 48 (eu size) fitted near perfect, a bit of fabric beneath the collar will need to be taken in to avoid some rippling. The jacket was quite waisted, I have a 10"-11" drop and for once I didn't feel the waist needed more suppression. I wasn't planning on buying a sportscoat but it will be hard to not to. Will post pictures if I indeed pull the trigger.

Yes, that's who I was thinking of but didn't want to assume anything. Although apparently there are in fact at least two ..
