Suitsupply Landed in Milano
Deconstruct a Suitsupply garment piece by piece, and the label’s truly uncompromising ethos comes quickly into sharp focus. The brand is resolute, intelligent. And the quality of its finery isn’t just a fleeting impression: a respect for craftsmanship is entrenched through and through in its DNA. Seams are manually-sewn by skilled hands, cuts are meticulously researched, tailoring is superb. The marque’s garments speak of a finesse and refinement that may just as well have come from a Savile Row atelier.
Today, quality is all-too-often compromised in the face of fashion. Men’s style has become on the one hand fast and disposable and on the other too-precious and rarified: it’s either attainable yet ephemeral or haughty and unwelcoming. But Suitsupply manages to defy the system to create garments that are enduring, fashion-forward, rigorously made and surprisingly affordable. As a result, it is a brand that is both resolutely bespoke and pleasingly democratic. Its workmanship is of the finest calibre, and its pieces are up to snuff among even the finest names in menswear. Its materials are sourced from exactly the same stock as others whose asking price is dramatically more, and its excellence is every bit their equal.
Suitsupply is smart sartorial. It’s enough to examine the curves and textures of one of the label’s classic, enduring designs or to run your fingers over the fine stitching to understand. In an age when it is not merely pretty clothes that make the man, but rather that which is behind the clothes, Suitsupply is a well-rounded erudite, worthy of consideration from even the most discerning. It is ambition. Careful consideration. Power. Savvy. And a bellwether for the modern man.
