WHAT IS THE COST OF A BESPOKE SUIT? 2022 BESPOKE SUIT PRICING ROUNDUP!
In today's video, we explore the cost of a bespoke suit in 2022 using some of America and Britian's most highly-regarded tailors.
A NOTE ON VAT PRICING
At the time we wrote and filmed this video, Britain had just repealed its VAT refund scheme, whereby foreign nationals could receive a VAT refund on all purchases made in the United Kingdom. Most of the GBP prices that we quoted were provided to us ex-VAT, or not including the 20% VAT tax. However, anyone picking up a suit in the United Kingdom will no longer be able to avoid paying the 20% VAT.
When exporting, for instance to the United States, customers can pay the ex-VAT price, but are subject to import duties and taxes. We suggest you confirm all pricing with any tailors directly taking into consideration your particular circumstances. The prices quoted in this video are subject to change at any time.
SUMMARY OF BESPOKE SUIT PRICING BY TAILORING HOUSE
The below list is a summary of the standard price of a two piece bespoke suit in each tailor's domestic currency. All UK prices are indicated in British Pounds inclusive of VAT, which now can no longer be avoided.
$2,100 Divij Bespoke
$5,000 Sartoria Gallo (Eric Jensen)
$8,500 Leonard Logsdail
$9,500 Huntsman NYC
£4,200 Kent & Haste
£4,440 Steed Savile Row
£5,000 Steven Hitchcock
£5,750 Redmayne
£6,000 Edward Sexton
£5,376 Anderson & Sheppard
£5,700 Dege & Skinner
£5,600 Henry Poole
£6,200 Huntsman London

Indeed. I know there is some sort of established attitude in many "high end" marketplaces of not talking prices but really that can come across as condescending and for virtually every other thing we buy, price is advertised openly or there's a reasonably easy to understand price tag/sticker. Most of us need to be able to plan and meet a budget in order to get this anyway, so it helps to know up front.

@michaelcollins9210 Год назад

Great video! This is a story that you may enjoy. About twenty years ago I visited a local thrift store in search of file cabinet. I glimpsed a suit in my periphery as I walked through the suit section on my way to the furniture. I stopped and said to my wife, “I can tell this is a nice suit just by the way it looks”. The label was No. 1 Saville Row - Gieves and Hawkes. It fit me like a glove and was on sale for only $16.35.

Hello Mr. Allison, This is merely the 2nd or 3rd time in my life that I have logged into RU-vid to drop a comment. I have done so in order to tell you two things: 1) I absolutely love your channel and the content you put out. The videos of your visits to London are just stellar viewing. Thank you so much for shining the light on these purveyors of true, old-world craftsmanship that new-world, brand-oriented crap cannot hold a candle to. 2) I do not know if you have chosen to do so consciously or not, but your ignoring of Andrew Ramroop of Maurice Sedwell and Davide Taub at Gieves and Hawkes is just borderline criminal! These badass trailblazers are amongst the giants of The Row in their own right and deserve some of that Kirby Allison light to be shone upon them. They too have amazing stories that deserve to be told through your voice to your viewers. This situation needs to be rectified Mr. Alisson! I am thoroughly looking forward to being pleasantly surprised soon. Warm regards, Taimur

@heathwasson7811 2 года назад

Glad to hear this. I was just made aware of this offering, and it's almost too good to be true. That $1360 price per their site is incredible. My tailor's great (a full bespoke tailor himself), and I have one of those bodies that works really well with a few OTR brands to begin with. Canali for example just fits me great OTR. I have an inch smaller waist than the normal drop, but that's about it. Hem the pants, take in waist 1", shorten sleeves 1/4", and it fits like a glove. So I've done all my bespoke suits more for flexibility in fabric and detail options than for fit. This is a perfect option for me. I can grab one of my suits, send it over, and go crazy on fabric choices and smaller details (I checked, you can change up things like lapel width, peaks, etc... ), get bespoke build quality, but save a massive amount off of going with another full bespoke garment. Hell, many of my OTR suits MSRP for significantly more than their price. I'm sending a suit off to them. If everything comes out like I hope, this may very well become my go-to suiting option.

@sackwhacker Год назад

I'm considering their service and had second thoughts with respect to the price and whether it'll fit as well without any fittings. Glad theres someone who's been there.

Great video Mr. Kirby it has opened my eyes. Yesterday I bought 3.5 mts. of gray Super 150 San Ildefonso wool to craft me a new suit. It was $1,050.- MXN ($50 - $51 USD more or less) per meter. The same colour but Super 180 of Dormeuil Fabric (If I recall the brand correctly) was $1,900 - $2,000.- MXN (around $98 - 100.- USD) per meter. I guess I could earn more money if I stop being a lawyer and become a Savile Row Tailor or at least start to sell what I make.

@EchoTangoSuitcase Год назад

This was an interesting video, made so in large part due to the pricing. It can be difficult to get that sort of insight much of the time. Not long ago I had decided to reenter the work force and I knew I would need some new suits for the office. This was prior to Covid, so the sartorial customs were more traditional, and I wanted to step away from the OTR suits I had bought in the past. I did quite a bit of research and ended up deciding that I wasn't going to go the bespoke route. This was partially due to cost, but even more importantly an issue of time. Bespoke suits, by their very nature, are a longer process and I did not want to wait that long. Therefore, I decided to go with MTM, which I thought would provide most of the benefits of bespoke, on a shorter timeline and with a lower cost. I live near Columbus in Ohio, so I didn't have as many choices open to me as I would in NY, but I was able to find 3 shops to look at that I thought would be suitable, pun slightly intended. One of the things I figured out in the process of interviewing each of them, was that they all had a slightly different style. One was oriented towards more current fashion trends, another was more traditional, and the the last was somewhere in the middle. All three had me look at a wide selection of fabrics and buttons, and discussed their process at some length. The one I chose was the more traditional of the three, and part of the reason I went that way is because I'm in my late 50's and felt that it would better suit the sort of statement I was trying to make. I ended up purchasing a couple of suits and a sport coat, all of which were made with a 140 or 150 fabric and were priced in the $1,500 to $1,600 range. I also ordered several French cuff shirts, for a bit under $300 each, and a number of silk ties. I forget the cost on those. There was an extensive measuring process, an initial fitting when the suits came in, and a final fitting after a local tailor had made some minor adjustments. In the past, buying OTR suits that were then tailored, I was surprised by much of a step up the MTM suits were. I had expected them to be better of course, but not by so wide a margin. I am effectively spoiled now, and I'll never be able to buy OTR again, having experienced the difference. I don't know whether I will buy a bespoke suit at some point in the future, and I suspect that would depend on a number of factors, the main one being whether I felt I had a sufficient justification for that. In my area, bespoke suits are around $5,000 as a starting point, which is a lot of money to have hanging in a closet most of the time.

@altoticket 2 года назад

I was actually surprised by the somewhat accessible (entry level) prices of such fine craftsmanship... Anyone doing business should know the value of cementing a "well-groomed" personal and professional brand, and it all starts with how you present yourself. So, what would be the VALUE for a fitting garment that enhances your person and probably outlasts you throughout decades of use? We are talking about jewels made of cloth. Great roundup!

@InventiveReality 2 года назад

Jewels made of cloth. Great wording.

@british021 2 года назад

Couldn’t agree more!

@iSkyline1 Год назад

A bespoke suit probably won't last you even a decade, unless your weight stays the same, which for many people it doesn't. I wouldn't call 2,100$ per suit accessible either when it comes to building a professional wardrobe. You're much better off with made-to-measure options or even better no suits at all. You can look very professional in less formal attire which is much more affordable and not as pretentious.

@MikeB071 2 года назад

Fantastic guide! Hopefully you can follow up with one for French and Italian houses as well. Just one question: the bottom line price in USD for Dege & Skinner and Henry Poole are the exact same ($6500), while the price is different in British pounds. I presume that this is because one includes the VAT and another doesn't? Do firms in the UK have the discretion to charge or waive the VAT for their non-UK clients?

@russ9921 2 года назад

They have to charge the VAT and the customer cannot reclaim it unless he has the right customs papers and the goods are delivered straight to the USA. Then you are supposed to pay US import duties on entry to the USA. See here: www.gov.uk/tax-on-shopping/taxfree-shopping

While there are reasons for this (cost of labour, rents etc.), Savile Row tailoring is clearly on the upper end in terms of pricing compared to other european tailors of equal quality, except for french superstars like Cifonelli, who's equally expensive (while being an excellent choice, of course). Thanks for the roundup, Kirby!

@sebastianflynn1746 2 года назад

@@piccalillipit9211 it is worth noting that, Northern Italian tailoring will carry a steeper cost (brioni and canali to name 2) due to the increased use of canvassing. The lack of canvassing seen in southern Italian suits and jackets probably has the historical basis from the warmer climate as well as southern Italy traditionally being less wealthy than Northern Italy.

I'm a bit surprised. Don't get me wrong as everything here is very expensive -- I'm a mere PhD student, so everything is way out of my budget 😂 -- but I was seriously expecting at least >7-8K USD at the lower end. Frankly, when you think about what people buy as toys for their own pleasure -- gaming computers, ATVs, boats, etc. -- it's not that bad. It makes me think that maybe one day I'll have the pleasure of having some custom garments made. If anyone out there finds these are within budget, please do enjoy on all our behalf. I'm always happy to see someone find a great piece that they like and enjoy wearing -- it reminds me of things like subtling over a great suit in a thrift store or winning awards and it makes me smile knowing someone else gets that excitment too. Cheers gentlemen! Back to my study -- it needs to be done if I want to buy stuff later. 😂

Value Added Tax. Sales tax.

20% British sales tax. If you are exporting the product you don’t need to pay it but if you are British and live in the U.K. these prices are +20%

Kirby, you should check out William Field in Washington, D.C. One of the few American bespoke tailors. Will was trained on Saville Row, and his father started the business in Washington after moving from London (also having Saville Row training).

@kirbyallison 2 года назад

He has a MTM business. Great guy.

@patricklyons7021 2 года назад

@@kirbyallison I believe Will offers both a MTM and bespoke service. I commissioned a bespoke suit from him last year. I had 3 fittings and Will did all the work on his own. I think he used to have assistant seamstresses, but had to let them go after the pandemic.

It’s wild that Tom Mahon actually trained Mr Hitchcock as a cutter. A very enjoyable video, many thanks.

In some shape or form many of the tailors and shirtmakers of the trade are somehow interrelated either through previously being employed or being trained. It helps to keep the trade alive and ensure the skill sets are transferred through the generations!

Mr. Allison, I don’t think I have ever heard you talk about Maurice Sedwell

@timcorrell9863 2 года назад

As I told Pablo Morales (who mentioned Maurice Sedwell farther down in the comments section), Andrew Ramroop and his wife (whose name I don’t know, unfortunately ☹️) are each half the owner of Maurice Sedwell since January 2nd, 1989. They don’t allow anybody other than themselves and each other to promote their product. Andrew Ramroop and his wife will retire on New Year’s Eve in 2027. Their daughter in-law and son (whose names I also, don’t know, sorry ☹️) will buy the firm on August 9th, 2027. They will take over on the firm’s 90th anniversary (January 3rd, 2028). They, too won’t allow anybody other than themselves and each other to promote their product. Maurice Sedwell’s suits currently start at £6,300/$7,938. £1.00 is $1.26 during the typing of this message. It was $1.35 when this video was filmed. For what it’s worth, other than being 84 years old, Maurice Sedwell (including their cufflinks) is Pure Savile Row Bespoke, as Kirby Allison described.

Kirby...might I be so bold as to ask about your wardrobe. You did an excellent video on your watch collection, is there or might I suggest something similar with suits, and then shoes as well?

Hi Kirby. Are you still able to recommend Divij Bespoke? I like the pricing. It simply is within my budget. Thanks.

@MisterRorschach90 2 года назад

It makes me mad that most houses do not list their prices for bespoke clothing, nor do they even list the fabrics you can choose from. They don’t necessarily need some crazy online 3D configurator tool, even though that should be standard for all designers and brands that offer bespoke or made to measure, but they could at least have pages dedicated to the fabric selections along with what each of them adds to the price of a suit. Sure some places do have prices listed vaguely, but that probably only includes their base fabrics. Nice suits are all about the fabrics once you have a decent fit and make. Some fabrics are insanely expensive. Like crazy Vicuna, chinchilla, or guanaco blends. I can imagine fabrics like those would increase the price of a bespoke suit by anywhere from 10-50k dollars. Sure I cannot afford that. But I like to dream.

@dominicksans7204 9 месяцев назад

I understand what you’re saying because for years I have had it on my list to do a bespoke suit and recently did but after watching this video come to realize I did a custom made suit. Still a lot of details but no where near a bespoke. I got measure picked out fabric and other details and then about 6 weeks later the suit came in and I did one fitting and went back a week later and picked it up which was last week. After watching this I now understand. I did two pairs of trousers and two waistcoats. When talking to the owner he gave me a range based on fabric. 130 or 150 the starting point and all depends obviously on my selections

Hi Kirby, do you have any recommendations for a Chicago tailor who does full bespoke suits?

@supersonique001 2 года назад

As much as I would like to go full bespoke and can afford to my past experiences with MTM have been a disaster even after choosing very high quality fabrics . High quality off the rack suiting has always worked exceptionally well for me with very little adjustments given my stature and measurements however now that pricing has been made clear by you I think, as a gift to myself, I may go ahead and take the plunge, my choice: Anderson and Shepard , love their house style.

@mLi75 2 года назад

Very useful Kirby. I am a little confused though. Regarding fittings. The British visit NY. How does that add up to a final product? I have asked this question before but without a clear answer. I made contact with a firm you mentioned based in NY and I was told that at least 4 fittings would be required and as I live outside the U.S. that would be a challenge. Wouldn't the same issue arise with U.S. clients and the UK tailors? Would you be able to shed any light on how someone based in the states can realistically use the " London Collective " product? Thanks and keep up the good work.

@kirbyallison 2 года назад

Yes, the fittings are a vital part of the bespoke process and are essential to guarantee the integrity of the final product. This is the big challenge behind the bespoke process, though, and why it is important to select a bespoke tailor that you can meet with easily. It is also why there is a big MTM and RTW business even at the high end, like with Oxford, Brioni, and Canali. Some people simply not have the time or ability to meet with a bespoke tailor for the fittings.

@trajansmarket 2 года назад

You mention divij starts at $2100 but when I checked out their website there are suits as low as $1200. Is the $1200 just the fabric and you add $2100 on top of that? Can you clarify? Thanks.

@LightemupWMH 2 года назад

Why did you leave out Charles Bennett in Chicago? They are actually bespoke in the US. The cutter, tailor, and everyone else involved in making the suit is in house, on site, in Chicago.
