A Quick PSA for where NOT to Get a Custom Wedding Suit

You’ll notice I don’t make a mention of Mens Warehouse in this list. Which has been a steady and constant option for most people looking to rent a suit. There is a reason for that, it’s because I DONT. I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a persons face lose its glow when Mens Warehouse has absolutely screwed their rentals; seriously, it’s disappointing. So, for you, the person getting married and wearing a suit, don’t skimp and do MW. You’ll really appreciate it looking back on your wedding.

2. Nordstrom – Nordstrom is renowned for its superior tailoring services, extending beyond suits. Personally, I can’t say I’ve ever been fitted and measured at Nordstroms. But I can speak to the many friends and reviews online that say these services are great for all types of garments you buy at Nordstrom’s. Some Nordstrom locations also offer rentals through a third party called The Black Tux. Ensuring a convenient option for those who prefer not to buy. They have a separate section of suits and blazers specifically for female bodies, so for those femme and non-binary humans, Nordstrom may have the most flair and stylized options for your taste!
3. Suit Supply – A Step up from Indo: A relatively new suit shop to my radar, and located a bit of a ways away in Bellevue, not Seattle. However, I think this is a worthwhile mention given what I have seen in terms of head to head reviews on the two shops. The nice thing about both, is they offer custom tailoring for all genders. Which, I think is extremely important to note, as I don’t not have any imagery for any female or non-binary presenting people, I do believe in giving options for everyone.
4. Bonobos – a Ready to Wear Option: Bonobos offers a blend of quality materials and exceptional comfort in their suits. While they do not offer tailored suits, they will provide you with sizing recommendations to ensure the best fit. You do this by going to their Brick and Mortar Showroom in University Village to get sized by someone who will tell you what you will need. You will need to go to a tailor after get alterations done for these, but the quality seems to be extremely great, and the suits look quite nice.

When I consider how many people have ever bought a custom suit, I think most folks would stutter and sweat at the sheer cost of a true, high-end luxury custom suit.

Their made-to-measure suits offer excellent value for money, with suits starting around $500 fully customized, allowing you to achieve a highly customized look. And their gender-inclusive suits and abilities make it a great choice for a classic look that everyone will look good in.
