Thank you for the in depth review, im glad that at least when it comes to the price point they can provide a value option, its just interesting how the quality would be if they had sent one of their more premium fabrics, and if it is the same as in the suits shown, id agree with you hands down that services like lanieri and oliver wicks would be preferable :) how would you say they compare to suitsupply?
@@Electron101 I'd say SuitSupply's quality is slightly better and it's more convenient. StudioSuits is more 'sartorial' on the other hand. I might try them out again, this time with a higher quality fabric. :-)
I have bought 7 suits from Studio Suits. Very happy. I just like how simple it is. Their website gives the most options, and is the easiest to navigate. Plus they got my measurements correct even though I am an odd fit. Big neck, long arms but not supper tall. I would recommend them.
Sean, did you have experience with their wider peak or notch lapels? I want to give it a try, but I'm wondering which wider lapel configuration (4.75 in vs. 3.75) would look better. Thanks!
On the fence with StudioSuits. I really like the wide variety of fabric options, it’s hard to find some colors they offer on other sites, but I want to make sure they hold up as much as a $600 suit can. Thanks for the info!
The vest looks very long. This seems to be a problem with almost all modern brands in tailoring. Imo the vest should just cover a bit of the waistband of the trousers but never cover the pleats. This is one reason I like vintage. The proportions are so good with a short torso and high rise trousers.
I couldn't agree more, that's one of the things annoying me with pretty much all modern suits available right now. Same goes for overcoats, I wasn't able to find a MTM service producing proper ankle-length overcoats yet.
I really like this idea of the try on suit. More companies need to do this. Or just provide credits for guys to get their measurements from a real tailor.
Hello SartorialStyles, thank you for this review, I appreciate how honest and informative it is, and think you have a well developed sense of style. I have never had a suit made for myself before and don't know how to go about it, but I am of the age and income now that I'd like to have my own suit made and have been mulling over studiosuits as an option. I like all of the customization options that studiosuits provides, and have not been able to find another custom suit service that provides as much customization as studiosuits. I also know that this suit will be tweed, and studiosuits seems to have, by far, the widest selection of tweed fabric I could find. My question for you is do you think I could find this level of customization and selection of tweed fabrics anywhere else? Do any other services compare that you know of? Price is not a factor, just fabric selection and customization options.
I used this and others reviews to make my online purchase with studiosuits. My advice is to take screenshots of every question and selection made. Prepare an email and confirm that this is what you are getting. If you do not record and if there is an error during the production process you will have nothing to prove what you order. I received another design that I ordered. Their response was that they receive thousands of orders a day and that it is impossible for them to make a mistake. If not a refund, I expected a credit amount to re-order understanding that nonetheless they had incurred in expenses as well. There was no offer or reasoning.There is no guarantee. If a mistake is made you will lose your money unless you can prove what you bought and had confirmation before making the purchase.The experience left a bad taste.
Nicee! Just ordered from studio suits for my first made to measurement suit ever, last night., but I’m just hoping for the best because there is practically no review videos on studio suits on UA-cam.. I’m glad studio suits worked with you because they Desperately need to increase their UA-cam presence since most first time buyers go directly to UA-cam to try to find review videos. This video does not biasedly praise studio suit, nevertheless, made me more optimistic about buying my first suit and two MTM shirts from studio suits. Crossing my fingers
Thank you very much for your kind comment! Good luck with your first made to measure suit, from my experience I can tell you that it won't be the last. ;-)
@@cpicard6561 yeah. I bought a suit from them with “fit guarantee” .. first suit was pretty darn good but there some things I didn’t like, as far as sleeve length, and jacket length, and they made me a second one for free with updated measurements with very little hassle.. very satisfied with the both of them… (we’ll I got lucky that they didn’t have the original Material they made my first suit anymore, so I got to choose a second material for my second suit).. only thing that sucks is that it takes a good month for you to get it.. (I’m in the United States)
@@miltonsaucedo2223 good to know. Yeah their measurment instructions are basic at best, i hope i get it right. I'm in canada, so it should get here in time for me. Thanks for the reply!
@@cpicard6561 yeah, highly recommend paying for a fit guarantee suit.. if you plan to buy from them in the future for other suits.. it’s probably pretty unlikely for you to get all the measurements right on the first time .
I just recieved my loro piana wool suit from studiosuits. They sent me a cheap suit which i paid $99 for just to get measurements correct before making my more expensive suit. Anyway, i got it tried it on. It wasnt too bad. I got notch lapels and they were slimmer than i hoped for and also the lapels dont want to lay flat. I did read some lapels dont lay flat because they may be handmade but idk how accurate that is. But i do like the fit. It has a classic fit but true to my measurements that i provided. So its not baggy and its not tight. Which is what i am looking for since everywhere seems to be slim fit for my size. I dont want slim fit suits even though im a slim guy. Im 5'11 and 165 pounds. My fingers were crossed through this whole month long process because i couldnt find no youtube videos. But the suit isnt too bad. Im just beginning my suit collection so i just read info and youtube on sartorial world.
@@SartorialStyles ever think of trying out a fresco suit for the warmer months? I figured its the closest ive got to a perfect inbetween of linen and wool except for tropical wool which doesnt really do a proper job. Interestingly enough studiosuits seem to be the only mtm company out there that makes fresco suits with mills other than hardy minnis, like caccioppoli (which interestingly enough they also seem to be the only mtm company that even makes suits with caccioppoli branded fabrics, its a smaller mill which ive seen people like hugo jacomet talk highly of). Me being in a warmer climate like the middle east really does get me not alot of options other than linen, and its nice to see that finally i got at least a somewhat good if not mildly decent other option to go for.
@@SartorialStyles oh and by the way, apparently they also have the hardy minnis fabrics, you just have to look it up explicitly since its not really advertised
Hard to say actually, because I only tried S&M RTW. Comparing these pieces to the Dinner Jacket I have made by HSS x MAB would be a little bit unfair. I think, for the price, Spier & Mackay probably is the best option out there.
Hello, nice review. what Linen suit line did you review? was there a specific color/texture. trying to find that sand color on their website and is impossible
terrible experience on my end :/ pants were 3 sizes too big, falling off. Jacket was too tight in the shoulders and mid section causing creasing where it buttoned. Couldn’t hug anyone lol. They ignored every single customization I chose so everything was default, and they added my name on the inside pocket which I didn’t even ask for? It’s obvious why it only took a week to get to me. They also have no return policy.
I ordered my wedding suit from them about 2 weeks ago and My groomsmens suits. There isn’t much video reviews about them and no one seems to talk about how long the process takes. My wedding is next month so I’m hoping the suits don’t take long to get here
Phenomenal video both in style and detail, brother! Super helpful. And I agree, I'm a wide lapel fan but those notches were way too small for the width making everything look off in proportion
Oh well, you were able to describe it way better! The lapels just appeared to be off for me - glad to see you agree. Thank you for your kinds words, mate! :-)
I like the fact you're almost everywhere Demetrios, from Jordan Peterson videos to here. It really shows you and your channel is in touch and willing to engage with all types of people fans or not. Very glad I found your channel keep up the good work
I'll probably try their MTO program this year! So stay tuned for another video about them, but it probably won't be during the next couple of months. :-)
It's called 'Italian Linen Summer Beige Suit' on their website, you can still find it, but it's currently sold out. Here's the link: www.studiosuits.com/suits/look_book/italian_linen_summer_beige_suit
Wasn't the Napolean wool suit too light? I'm interested on having one made from that line of material but the weight makes me doubt. Wont the pants look warped?
thanks to this video i will make my mind and place an order in a few days from studiosuits. is it possible you can give us the exact link/full configuration of your first (and 2nd) suit?
I purchased a two piece suit super 120 blend and the fabric is acceptable for the price. The trousers fit very well, however the coat has a collar roll on the upper back , the sleeves are baggy, and the arm whole was low causing the chest area to have a loose fit. The person tailoring the chest area does not know how to create a fit torso with high arm whole style and for these reasons I will not be buying from studio suits again.
Nice video, I love your reviews and honestly I think studio suits does look like a nice option however I am wondering how much you had to spend on taxes for the suits?
@@SartorialStyles Thank you for the quick reply, I was confused about this because when googling studiosuits, the shopping ads for studiosuits showed taxes the same price as the suit so that was kinda worrying about online Shopping. Anyway thank you for the quick reply and I look forward to your future videos ❤️
My one purchase from StudioSuits is also my last. The Gurkha trousers I bought were so poorly sewn that they are unwearable. The company does not exchange or refund, even though the problems were entirely their fault. They only offered a $15 US discount if I were to buy another pair. The trousers are unfit for donating to charity. A complete waste.
I just got my corduroy blazer from Studiosuits. The tailoring is poor and the material is cheap. Between the shoulder blades is 15 inches - super tight. It's 26 inches long and one sleeve has excess material poking out. I'm normally a 38 short. If I bend my arm the wrinkles show like crazy because the corduroy is so thin. It won't straighten itself so the jacket looks like a crumpled mess. Even if it was perfectly tailored, the material is so cheap I wouldn't wear it. Anyone looking at it for more than a few seconds will realize this. If anyone is wondering about ordering...don't. They obviously don't care and just want your cash.
I have no idea how one can purchase a suit online. If you don't have a crazy physique, I strongly advise saving up just a *bit* more money, and waiting for one of Brooks Brother's frequent sales--where you can purchase a thousand-dollar suit for maybe 40-50% off. (Of course, it helps to have a BB brick and mortar in your area to gauge the fit upfront.) Then take it to a tailor. A suit's too important to gamble on.
I would not say that ordering a suit online is gambling by any means. If you opt for ready-to-wear options, you can easily ship the suit back and get another size. If you opt for a made to measure option, most services offer free remakes and/or credit for further alterations. In addition, the styling of Brooks Brothers suits are way too modern for my personal taste. Slim lapels, belt loops and no pleats on the trousers and so on. Many of their fabrics - even on more expensive suits - are blended and they don't tell you the origin of the cloth. They don't even state the construction method of the jacket on the product page. Ordering from Brooks Brothers might not be gambling, but it surely isn't a good choice to get a well made suit for a decent price - even if they have heavy sales.
Djjdnyc - You are 100% correct. I'm gettin old, and have owned about two dozen + off the rack Brooks Brothers suits, jackets, pants and a pile of their mtm shirts over the decades. They will alter for free at the stores (jacket sleeves and front, pant waist, seat and hem) . An on-sale Brooks Brothers is a great way to save on a REAL business suit that career men, lawyers, Wall Street bankers, Blue Chip executives and even Presidents have worn for over 200 years. Where did Teddy Roosevelt buy his uniform to charge up San Juan Hill - Brooks Brothers of course. When I was first starting out I bought the Brooks Brothers suit separates for less money but were still solid Brooks Brothers. Even Jos A Bank would be a good alternative rather than wasting hard earned cash on these awful and cheap looking Studio monkey suits. My jaw dropped when he said that that linen hobo costume would cost almost 400 Euros, and I wouldn't pay $220 for a lifetime supply of that blue thing. At the office, or anywhere else for that matter, those warped Studio Suits would get you laughed at behind your back all day long even if you were lucky enough to pass a job interview while wearing one. I'm afraid Sartorial Styles' comments on Brooks Brothers suits are really misplaced and he has probably never owned the brand or even been in one of the stores. For example: how can he legitimately say that Brooks Brothers is too modern whereas they are actually known for their conservative American business style (and yes- they will have belt loops and probably suspender buttons), no pleats when there certainly are (more or less at times) and/or are available via made to measure service, and the 1818 staple suits state right on them woven / made in Italy by Tollegno or whatever etc, (used to be USA). While it's true that more and more of the Brooks Brothers line in trousers and jackets have been offshored to Asia over the years, and I think they have closed or limited their Massachusetts factory recently, their suits still are an American icon of the business world, and the offshore sport jackets I have are still very sharp and well made. I can assure anyone that no one is going to think "look at that guy wearing Brooks Brothers crap". While the full price Brooks Brothers suit is by no means "cheap", nor should it be, how Sartorial Styles can say they are not well made is simply baseless, 40-50% off semi-annual sale pricing notwithstanding. For any of you young career guys out there needing an interview suit DO NOT buy this Studio Suit crap. Go to Brooks Brothers or J. Press on sale. Or even Jos A Bank or Mens Warehouse, they will put you in a normal looking suit you can use for a few years. You might even find a beautiful Hart, Schaffner & Marx on sale at Macy's or Nordstrom.
@@mikeymik2 Thanks for the full reply! (I don't check my social-media stuff that often.) Am about due for a new BB 1818--will wait for the next sale and go nuts. My newest obsession: Hickey-Freeman, particularly their sportcoats/blazers (as opposed to suits). I'd kill for a HF black/white houndstooth blazer, but they're hard to find in a decent size (and pricey as hell when you do). Peace!
@@djjdnewyork1 Yes, Hickey Freeman is another long time iconic American establishment. I haven't been to that store in ages. Beautiful stuff on their website. It appears they are now owned by the same parent company as Brooks Brothers and still manufacture in the USA and Canada. I am praying we don't ever lose these iconic brands and get stuck with the likes of Studio Suits. Now I'm going to visit Hickey Freeman next time I get back home to NYC, right after my usual visit to JJ Hat Center. Best of luck landing that jacket.
Well, I measured the same way as I did for Oliver Wicks, Lanieri, HSS x MAB and many other services and also compared the measurements during the process to make sure nothing is completely off. I agree though - normally it takes at least two orders for the service to get the fit right. All these producers have different base patterns and have to find out what the best way of altering them is.
Do NOT use this company. Zero talent, no integrity and poor craftsmanship. There's absolutely no reason to order from them. I got a jacket that was so far off my measurements, I had to throw it away.
Sheeesh, not good. My Man, I don't believe that you would actually leave the house wearing either of those in public. The BLUE SUIT: at 6:13 what is going on with the bottom of the back center seam, why does it appear to have extra seams at the center and it's a side vent? Is it the lighting? bizarre at 6:14 it looks like the right lapel peak is sticking up off the chest as you turn around, indeed at 6:38 from the front it appears higher than the left side almost touching the shoulder seam. At 6:32 it looks like the right shoulder /arm seam is differently constructed and positioned higher than the left side, and the spacing between the lapel peaks and arm seams are off maybe up to an inch from one another - because it's LOPSIDED (see also 5:53). At 6:44 it appears the jacket is stiff without any natural drape on the lapel or above the top buttons, like cardboard. At 6:52 the back and arm sleeves look like bad cosmetic surgery and have a ton of excess fabric bunching into the smaller arm holes that strangely extend out from the sides like wing stumps. Like a person who lost a few hundred pounds and now has extra skin. WEIRD. The back seam is off center and veers to the left, while the material appears wavy on one side of the seam like a bad glue job (see also 6:15). At 6:56 what kind of lining is that, polyester? At 7:15 it looks like the pants have no lining at all. The LINEN SUIT would make more sense if you put black eye makeup on, some fake blood at the corner of your mouth, and a whiskey bottle sticking out of the chest pocket: At 8:16 the shoulder lines look like lumpy gravy while the upper arms look snug and the lower arms have enough fabric for Popeye's forearms. At 9:21 it also looks like one lapel notch sits higher than the other lapel which appears bigger, and again it looks lopsided with more chest material on the left (could be because your hand is in the pocket - and look at that sleeve). At 8:36 something looks off about those pleats. I would have liked to see the Jacket back, or maybe not. Just for fun you should cut one up and show us what's on the inside. Thank you for helping me avoid this company as the negative Trustpilot reviews are confirmed. LOL!
No kidding. I bought a corduroy jacket from them and it's a POS. People post photos of their suits and the material always looks cheap and the tailoring is terrible - including the suits in this video. I appreciate his review, though.
Buddy please don’t ever tie your tie like that again. The tail end should not be poking out the bottom. And the length of it is way too long. A tie should stop right at your belt line.
I've received tons of comments that I was too generous with them and tons of comments that I criticized them too much. I guess that's a good thing, after all.
Benjamin - While watching some random UA-cam videos I saw a pop up ad for Studio Suits that features multiple scenes of you from this video. I believe this was the ad: ua-cam.com/video/wVeJ52bpNPI/v-deo.html which as of now has about 10,000 views in just 8 days.

Anyone looking at it for more than a few seconds will realize this. If anyone is wondering about ordering...don't. They obviously don't care and just want your cash.
Great content. New subscriber. I am looking to purchase suits as well.
I have no idea how one can purchase a suit online. If you don't have a crazy physique, I strongly advise saving up just a *bit* more money, and waiting for one of Brooks Brother's frequent sales--where you can purchase a thousand-dollar suit for maybe 40-50% off. (Of course, it helps to have a BB brick and mortar in your area to gauge the fit upfront.) Then take it to a tailor. A suit's too important to gamble on.
I would not say that ordering a suit online is gambling by any means. If you opt for ready-to-wear options, you can easily ship the suit back and get another size. If you opt for a made to measure option, most services offer free remakes and/or credit for further alterations. In addition, the styling of Brooks Brothers suits are way too modern for my personal taste. Slim lapels, belt loops and no pleats on the trousers and so on. Many of their fabrics - even on more expensive suits - are blended and they don't tell you the origin of the cloth. They don't even state the construction method of the jacket on the product page. Ordering from Brooks Brothers might not be gambling, but it surely isn't a good choice to get a well made suit for a decent price - even if they have heavy sales.
Djjdnyc - You are 100% correct. I'm gettin old, and have owned about two dozen + off the rack Brooks Brothers suits, jackets, pants and a pile of their mtm shirts over the decades. They will alter for free at the stores (jacket sleeves and front, pant waist, seat and hem) . An on-sale Brooks Brothers is a great way to save on a REAL business suit that career men, lawyers, Wall Street bankers, Blue Chip executives and even Presidents have worn for over 200 years. Where did Teddy Roosevelt buy his uniform to charge up San Juan Hill - Brooks Brothers of course. When I was first starting out I bought the Brooks Brothers suit separates for less money but were still solid Brooks Brothers.
Even Jos A Bank would be a good alternative rather than wasting hard earned cash on these awful and cheap looking Studio monkey suits. My jaw dropped when he said that that linen hobo costume would cost almost 400 Euros, and I wouldn't pay $220 for a lifetime supply of that blue thing. At the office, or anywhere else for that matter, those warped Studio Suits would get you laughed at behind your back all day long even if you were lucky enough to pass a job interview while wearing one.
I'm afraid Sartorial Styles' comments on Brooks Brothers suits are really misplaced and he has probably never owned the brand or even been in one of the stores. For example: how can he legitimately say that Brooks Brothers is too modern whereas they are actually known for their conservative American business style (and yes- they will have belt loops and probably suspender buttons), no pleats when there certainly are (more or less at times) and/or are available via made to measure service, and the 1818 staple suits state right on them woven / made in Italy by Tollegno or whatever etc, (used to be USA). While it's true that more and more of the Brooks Brothers line in trousers and jackets have been offshored to Asia over the years, and I think they have closed or limited their Massachusetts factory recently, their suits still are an American icon of the business world, and the offshore sport jackets I have are still very sharp and well made. I can assure anyone that no one is going to think "look at that guy wearing Brooks Brothers crap". While the full price Brooks Brothers suit is by no means "cheap", nor should it be, how Sartorial Styles can say they are not well made is simply baseless, 40-50% off semi-annual sale pricing notwithstanding. For any of you young career guys out there needing an interview suit DO NOT buy this Studio Suit crap. Go to Brooks Brothers or J. Press on sale. Or even Jos A Bank or Mens Warehouse, they will put you in a normal looking suit you can use for a few years. You might even find a beautiful Hart, Schaffner & Marx on sale at Macy's or Nordstrom.
@@mikeymik2 Thanks for the full reply! (I don't check my social-media stuff that often.) Am about due for a new BB 1818--will wait for the next sale and go nuts. My newest obsession: Hickey-Freeman, particularly their sportcoats/blazers (as opposed to suits). I'd kill for a HF black/white houndstooth blazer, but they're hard to find in a decent size (and pricey as hell when you do). Peace!
@@djjdnewyork1 Yes, Hickey Freeman is another long time iconic American establishment. I haven't been to that store in ages. Beautiful stuff on their website. It appears they are now owned by the same parent company as Brooks Brothers and still manufacture in the USA and Canada. I am praying we don't ever lose these iconic brands and get stuck with the likes of Studio Suits. Now I'm going to visit Hickey Freeman next time I get back home to NYC, right after my usual visit to JJ Hat Center. Best of luck landing that jacket.
@@mikeymik2 silly boomers.
Thanks. I did not like either of those suits material and fit were off.
Thanks for the feedback!
Don't you just love the porno music at 4:59 when he's unboxing the first suit.. I'm sorry, but that's hilarious. 🤣🤣
It seems the problems with fir are due to your inaccurate measurements.
Well, I measured the same way as I did for Oliver Wicks, Lanieri, HSS x MAB and many other services and also compared the measurements during the process to make sure nothing is completely off. I agree though - normally it takes at least two orders for the service to get the fit right. All these producers have different base patterns and have to find out what the best way of altering them is.
This company has a NO RETURNS POLICY and claim to be handmade - but their responses told me that their machines dont make mistakes.
Do NOT use this company. Zero talent, no integrity and poor craftsmanship. There's absolutely no reason to order from them. I got a jacket that was so far off my measurements, I had to throw it away.
SEE-OOTS
Sheeesh, not good. My Man, I don't believe that you would actually leave the house wearing either of those in public.
The BLUE SUIT: at 6:13 what is going on with the bottom of the back center seam, why does it appear to have extra seams at the center and it's a side vent? Is it the lighting? bizarre
at 6:14 it looks like the right lapel peak is sticking up off the chest as you turn around, indeed at 6:38 from the front it appears higher than the left side almost touching the shoulder seam.
At 6:32 it looks like the right shoulder /arm seam is differently constructed and positioned higher than the left side, and the spacing between the lapel peaks and arm seams are off maybe up to an inch from one another - because it's LOPSIDED (see also 5:53).
At 6:44 it appears the jacket is stiff without any natural drape on the lapel or above the top buttons, like cardboard.
At 6:52 the back and arm sleeves look like bad cosmetic surgery and have a ton of excess fabric bunching into the smaller arm holes that strangely extend out from the sides like wing stumps. Like a person who lost a few hundred pounds and now has extra skin. WEIRD. The back seam is off center and veers to the left, while the material appears wavy on one side of the seam like a bad glue job (see also 6:15).
At 6:56 what kind of lining is that, polyester?
At 7:15 it looks like the pants have no lining at all.
The LINEN SUIT would make more sense if you put black eye makeup on, some fake blood at the corner of your mouth, and a whiskey bottle sticking out of the chest pocket: At 8:16 the shoulder lines look like lumpy gravy while the upper arms look snug and the lower arms have enough fabric for Popeye's forearms.
At 9:21 it also looks like one lapel notch sits higher than the other lapel which appears bigger, and again it looks lopsided with more chest material on the left (could be because your hand is in the pocket - and look at that sleeve).
At 8:36 something looks off about those pleats.
I would have liked to see the Jacket back, or maybe not. Just for fun you should cut one up and show us what's on the inside. Thank you for helping me avoid this company as the negative Trustpilot reviews are confirmed. LOL!
No kidding. I bought a corduroy jacket from them and it's a POS. People post photos of their suits and the material always looks cheap and the tailoring is terrible - including the suits in this video. I appreciate his review, though.
Buddy please don’t ever tie your tie like that again. The tail end should not be poking out the bottom. And the length of it is way too long. A tie should stop right at your belt line.
you criticize them WAY too much for their end products. they look like 9/10 suits. and under 500$???? no f way
take a look at other reviews. the reviews are VERY mixed
I've received tons of comments that I was too generous with them and tons of comments that I criticized them too much. I guess that's a good thing, after all.
Benjamin - While watching some random UA-cam videos I saw a pop up ad for Studio Suits that features multiple scenes of you from this video. I believe this was the ad: ua-cam.com/video/wVeJ52bpNPI/v-deo.html which as of now has about 10,000 views in just 8 days. Congrats on becoming their new worldwide fashion model and company representative!
That's wild lol!
