Do Suit Hire Companies Make Their Own Suits? Here’s Why Suitor Does

At Suitor, we don’t just rent suits. We design and produce them ourselves.

That means every suit you hire or buy from us has been built with intent, from the fabric right through to the exact fit specifications. The result is a suit that doesn’t just look good on a hanger, but actually fits properly, feels comfortable, and performs across any occasion.

Why Most Hire Suits Don’t Fit Properly

The reality is most suit hire businesses don’t manufacture their own garments. They source standardised, off-the-shelf stock designed for mass use.

These suits are typically made with very generic sizing blocks. The goal is to fit as many people as possible with as few sizes as possible.

That’s why hire suits often feel:

• Boxy through the body
• Too long or too short in the sleeves
• Loose in some areas and tight in others
• Structurally stiff rather than tailored

They’re not designed for you. They’re designed for efficiency.

Our Approach: Built on Real Fit Data

Because we design our own suits, we’ve been able to completely rethink sizing.

We’ve built our fit using data from over 50,000 customers, refining everything from jacket proportions to trouser length and overall silhouette. Instead of relying on generic sizing, we use dedicated fit specifications designed to create a modern, tailored look straight out of the box.

This includes:

• Balanced jacket lengths and sleeve proportions
• Structured shoulders without excess bulk
• Trouser lengths designed around height, not guesswork
• A consistent, clean silhouette across all sizes

The result is a suit that feels intentional, not improvised.

Fabric Still Matters

Fit is only half the story. Fabric is what brings the suit to life.

A large portion of the hire industry relies on poly-viscose fabrics. These are synthetic blends designed to be cheap and durable, but they come with compromises.

They tend to:

• Feel less breathable
• Lack natural movement
• Sit stiff and hold a boxy shape
• Look flat under lighting

Even when wool is included, it’s often in very low compositions, just enough to market the suit as a “wool blend” without delivering the actual benefits.

Our Fabric Standard

We focus on higher-quality compositions that elevate both comfort and appearance.

Our core suits are made from a premium 70% wool blend. This allows the fabric to drape naturally, breathe properly, and move with your body rather than against it.

Our velvet jackets are crafted from 100% cotton velvet, giving a deeper texture and more refined finish compared to synthetic alternatives.

Our shirts are made from a 60% cotton blend, designed for comfort, durability, and a clean, structured look throughout the day.

Designed for Hire and Purchase

Because we both rent and sell our suits, they need to meet a higher standard.

They’re designed to maintain their shape, colour, and structure over repeated use. That means better construction, better materials, and more attention to detail at every stage.

This isn’t disposable suiting. It’s built to last.

The Difference You Notice

When you combine considered fit with premium fabric, the difference is immediate.

The suit sits better.
It moves better.
It looks sharper in photos and in person.

And most importantly, it feels right when you wear it.
