16 Brands Like Suitsupply for Sharp Men's Suits
The suit fits, the price is fair, and the nearest store is three hours away. Or you've bought two already and you'd like the third to look like something other than the first two. Suitsupply, which plenty of people type as Suit Supply, styles itself as one word and has sold Italian-milled cloth at well under designer money since Fokke de Jong opened the first shop in Amsterdam in 2000. It runs roughly 150 stores, and its US site prices suits from $549 for the Perennial Tailored Fit Havana up to $1,199 for a Tailored Fit Milano, with a lot of the range sitting at $899. Here are 16 brands cutting suits in the same register, from $199 two-pieces you can put in a basket in the next minute to made-to-measure houses where the only way in is a booked appointment.
A note on the numbers before we start. Every figure below is the full listed price read off the brand's own site this week, in the currency that site quoted us. Several of these stores refuse scripted visitors, and one blocks our crawler in its robots file, so where we couldn't read a page we've put the tier in words instead of guessing. This category also runs on appointments more than most, and two of the sixteen publish no price at all until you sit down with someone.
Quick comparison:
- Cheapest way into a proper two-piece: SuitShop at $199, then Ted Baker at $395.
- Made to measure without leaving the sofa: Proper Cloth from $645 and Oliver Wicks from €795, both sized from answers rather than a tape measure.
- Book an appointment or you can't buy: Alton Lane and Knot Standard publish no prices online at all, and Indochino designs your suit in a showroom.
- Buy it off the rack today: Charles Tyrwhitt, Hugo Boss, Paul Smith and Ralph Lauren all sell finished suits you can order without a fitting.
- Priced in pounds: Moss, Drake's and Percival, which matters when you're budgeting in dollars.

Indochino
Indochino is the closest thing here to Suitsupply's made-to-measure counter, and it's built the whole company around it. You pick the cloth, the lapel, the lining and the button stance, then the suit gets made to your measurements and shipped to you rather than pulled off a rail.
Indochino runs on showrooms that hold fabric panels rather than stock, and you book a slot with a style guide who measures you and walks you through the options. The site turns away automated readers with a captcha, so we haven't published prices we couldn't confirm on the page. It sits mid-range, in the same territory as Suitsupply's own custom programme. If you've read our piece on brands like Combatant Gentlemen, this is where most of that audience ended up.
Best for: your first suit cut to your own measurements.
J.Crew
J.Crew answers the one question an online suit can't, which is how the shoulder sits before you pay. Its Ludlow line is the suiting programme, sold as separates in slim and classic fits so you can size the jacket and the trouser apart, cut in Italian worsted wool and a four-season stretch wool blend.
The storefront sits behind a bot filter that blocked our reads, so there are no figures here. J.Crew is mid-range and discounts on a rhythm you can plan around, which is the opposite of how Suitsupply prices. The house look is American prep rather than European sharpness, so the jacket reads softer across a room. We cover the wider J.Crew world in brands like Madewell for men.
Best for: buying a suit you've already tried on in a fitting room.
Charles Tyrwhitt
Charles Tyrwhitt lists 18 men's suits on its US site at $649 to $1,079, and it names the cloth on almost every one. The Ultimate Performance Suit runs $699 in dark navy, black, charcoal gray and forest green, the Natural Stretch Twill Suit is $739, and the Italian Luxury Birdseye Suit in navy sits at $899.
This is the most boringly useful brand on the list, in the best sense. Charles Tyrwhitt sells a business suit, in a business colour, with the fabric and the fit stated plainly, and the Peak Lapel Tuxedo Dinner Suit covers black tie at $919. Where Suitsupply pushes a slimmer Italian line, Charles Tyrwhitt offers both classic and slim fits and leans traditional British. The shirts are the reason most people find the brand, and the suits are the reason they come back.
Best for: a navy office suit where you know what the wool is.
Spier & Mackay
Spier & Mackay is the Canadian brand menswear forums push hardest, and the reason is construction at a price that undercuts the rest of this list. It runs a dedicated Neapolitan cut alongside its regular suiting, with a separate fit guide for the soft shoulder and a fabric library organised by cloth rather than colour.
Spier & Mackay's robots file blocks our crawler outright, so we've read nothing from the site and quoted nothing from it. In tier terms it's mid-range and sits below Suitsupply on comparable cloth. Order sizing carefully, because the brand publishes separate size charts for two-piece and three-piece suits and a dedicated fit guide for the Neapolitan cut. Shipping and returns run to and from Canada, which is worth planning around if there's a date in the diary.
Best for: soft Italian tailoring at the lowest price it credibly comes at.
Hugo Boss
Hugo Boss prices men's suits from $599 to $3,499 on its US site, with the bulk of the range landing between $699 and $999. That puts the entry point close to Suitsupply and the ceiling far above it, because the same page carries capsule and made-to-measure pieces alongside the core suiting.
What the money buys is a sharper, glossier line. Hugo Boss cuts a harder shoulder and a cleaner front than the softer Italian shapes further down this list, and the fabric mixes lean technical, with stretch and performance finishes across the mid-range. The US catalogue renders its product names in the browser rather than the page source, so we've quoted the prices we could read and left the model names out.
Best for: a suit that photographs sharp under bad lighting.
Ted Baker
Ted Baker is where you go for a suit in a colour, and its US site prices the Webster two-piece at $395. The suits collection runs 119 styles with 584 of 707 size variants in stock when we counted, so the range is stocked rather than decorative.
Read the tags carefully, because Ted Baker discounts hard and often. The Winfred linen jacket shows $297 against a $495 list as we write, and the matching Winter trouser shows $156 against $260. We put a navy Webster in a 36R into the cart to confirm it clears checkout, and it did, at $395 in US dollars. Ted Baker's cuts sit slimmer and louder than Suitsupply's, with check, pink and teal running through the range where Suitsupply would offer another grey.
Best for: a wedding suit that isn't navy.
Paul Smith
Paul Smith prices two-piece suits at $1,395 to $2,395 on its US site, which makes it the step up from Suitsupply rather than the alternative to it. The Soho Tailored-Fit Brown Sharkskin Wool Suit sits at the bottom of that range, The Kensington Slim-Fit Dark Navy Pin Dot Wool Suit at $1,895, and a Tailored-Fit Navy Wool Twill Two-Button Suit at the top.
The named fits are the thing to learn here. Soho is the tailored block, Kensington the slim one, and the difference between them is bigger than the colour choice most people agonise over. The range covers ground Suitsupply mostly leaves alone, with a brown sharkskin, a navy gingham two-piece at $1,410 and a black wool-mohair evening suit at $1,895 sitting on the same page as the plain navy.
Best for: a suit you'll still want in ten years.
Moss
Moss dropped the Bros from its name and now trades as Moss, with suits from £99.95 to £499 and more than 160 UK stores. Prices are in pounds, and the tailored and slim fits cluster between £199 and £329, with Italian-cloth suits at the top of the range.
Two things make Moss different from everything else here. It hires suits as well as selling them, which solves a one-wedding problem without a purchase, and it books store appointments for fittings and styling advice across that store network. There's a custom made service too. The trade-off against Suitsupply is cloth quality at the bottom of the range, where £99.95 buys a suit that looks its price up close.
Best for: hiring morning dress or a dinner suit for one day.
Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren is the American answer to a European suit, and it's the trade-up on this list for anyone who finds Suitsupply's line too continental. The tailoring is built on softer shoulders, heavier cloth and a longer jacket than the slim Italian shapes further up this list.
The site answers our requests with a bot challenge rather than a page, so we haven't put figures against it. Ralph Lauren is premium and sits well above Suitsupply on comparable suiting, which is the point of buying it. Physical stores across the US make the sizing question answerable in person, and the tailoring departments in the larger ones handle alterations directly.
Best for: American tailoring you'll hand down rather than replace.
SuitShop
SuitShop is the cheapest brand here that still sells a real two-piece, with men's suits at $199 to $498 and most of the core colours at $199. The Men's Navy Blue Suit at that price is a two-button jacket with a fully lined body and trousers finished with an unfinished hem and a split waist, which is a deliberate choice so your tailor can move both.
The company is built around wedding parties, which shows in how it sells. You can order free fabric swatches before committing, book an appointment or visit a showroom, and the sizing runs wide enough to dress a group of different builds in one order. This isn't Suitsupply cloth, and the brand makes no such claim. It's the suit that gets eight groomsmen photographed in the same navy for under $1,600 total.
Best for: dressing a wedding party without a group loan.
Proper Cloth
Proper Cloth lets you buy the construction rather than the label, and it prices by how the jacket is built: unstructured suits from $645, half-canvassed from $695, half-canvassed tuxedos from $730 and fully canvassed from $845. That's a rare thing to state openly, and it's the single most useful number on a made-to-measure page.
Sizing happens online through what the brand calls Smart Size, which asks about your body and fit preference and calculates a size in about a minute, with more than 20 dimensions you can then adjust in tenth-inch increments. There's also a New York showroom and an appointment booking if you want hands on the tape instead. Against Suitsupply, you're trading a shop floor for a spec sheet.
Best for: knowing exactly what canvassing you paid for.
Oliver Wicks
Oliver Wicks makes custom suits to order and prices them at €795 to €1,079, in euros, which is what the site quoted us from this side of the Atlantic. Budget with that in mind rather than reading those figures as dollars.
The after-sale terms are the reason to look. Oliver Wicks covers adjustments for a full year and reimburses up to €125 per custom suit against a local tailor's receipt, so you take the suit to someone near you and claim the cost back. Returns on custom orders ship free under its satisfaction guarantee. That's a meaningful answer to the obvious worry about ordering a made-to-measure suit from a screen, and it's more generous than most of this list.
Best for: made to measure with the alterations budget included.
Alton Lane
Alton Lane publishes no prices. Not one figure appears on its site. You book an appointment, you get measured, and the number arrives in conversation. If you want to compare a cost before you commit, this brand can't help you and Suitsupply can.
What you get instead is a fitting. Alton Lane runs six showrooms, in Boston, Charlottesville, New York's Tribeca, Raleigh, Richmond and Washington DC, and books both in-person and virtual sessions through a scheduling link. Suits are made to order after the appointment rather than sold from stock. Ring ahead or use the booking page, because there's no rail to browse if you walk in.
Best for: readers near one of six US cities who want a proper fitting.
Knot Standard
Knot Standard also declines to publish a price, and it sells through a network rather than a shop. Its custom clothing is available through select Nordstrom locations and authorised stylists, with showrooms listed across roughly two dozen US states, and every route in starts with a requested appointment.
The Nordstrom arrangement is the practical difference from Suitsupply. You're being fitted by a style advisor inside a department store you already shop in, with Nordstrom's alterations behind it, instead of visiting a single-brand showroom. Since no figures appear on the site, treat the appointment as the point at which you find out what you're spending. The brand's promotional thresholds hint at the level, with one offer keyed to spending $995 or more.
Best for: custom tailoring booked at a Nordstrom near you.
Drake's
Drake's sells tailoring as separates rather than as suits, and its US site prices the Navy Harris Tweed Games Blazer at $1,495 and the Olive Cotton Corduroy Games Trousers at $595. The UK site runs the same range in pounds, from £295 trousers to a £1,595 velvet double-breasted blazer across 160 tailoring pieces.
Buying separates changes how you shop. A Drake's jacket is designed to work over jeans on Saturday and grey flannel on Monday, which is a different brief from a matching two-piece and the reason the shoulder is soft and the chest is unlined or lightly built. The house is London, the palette runs to tweed, corduroy and Irish linen, and the prices sit well above Suitsupply. Shop the US store for dollar pricing.
Best for: one blazer that does five jobs.
Percival
Percival is the cheapest tailoring here that still has a point of view, with the Tailored Linen Blazer at £230, the Clifton Double Breasted Blazer at £240, Tailored Linen Trousers at £130 and a matching waistcoat at £100. Prices show in pounds by default, and the store switches to dollars if you set the market to the United States.
The clothes are cut for people who don't want to look like they came from the office. Percival works in linen, lyocell and lightweight wool, with roomier legs and shorter jackets than the sharp Suitsupply line, and the colours run to merlot and forest rather than charcoal. Buying blazer, trousers and waistcoat separately puts a three-piece together for £460. That's a summer wedding solved for less than one Suitsupply jacket.
Best for: a linen suit for a wedding abroad.
How to Pick One Without Buying Twice
Start with the deadline, because it decides more than the budget does. If the wedding is in three weeks, buy off the rack from Charles Tyrwhitt, Ted Baker or SuitShop and pay a local tailor to finish it. With two months in hand, made to measure gets you a better shoulder for similar money, and Proper Cloth and Oliver Wicks both tell you what you're paying for before you order. Readers who've been defeated by off-the-rack fit should book the appointment at Indochino, Alton Lane or Knot Standard and let someone else hold the tape.
One practical warning. Four of these sixteen quoted us in pounds or euros rather than dollars, and two publish no price at all, so a like-for-like comparison takes more work in this category than in most. Read the currency before the number.
