A Suit That Fits - Love The Idea

My current obsession is looking for business concepts that are simple... obvious... and remarkable. asuitthatfits.com seems to fit the bill.

You get a 'bespoke', personally designed suit for less than you'd normally pay. Better quality, unique style according to your choice of material, lining, lapels, pockets buttons, cuffs etc etc. Maybe too many options but then they show you what your basic style looks like...

You design online then they send it away to be manufactured and the next thing you know, you are trying it on..!

I am going to have to give it a go. You can do it all online or you can have a fitting. And it all seems to be incredibly good value.

Has anyone used them? A similar concept mejeans.com where you design your own jeans has also caused a stir - there seem to be some critical comment about them if you google them... the power of the net!!

Hi Robert,

In the process of using them. Went for a fitting in London - did not trust my own measurements and it was good to get talked through all the options as there are plenty..

Been back for a fitting - trousers needed some small mods. Suit is looking good - looks like agood service - suits seem to be made in nepal and altered locally.

I am picking the suit up on Monday in Edinburgh.

Cheers
Dave
