Suitsupply – Dallas Flagship

Good selection, fashion-​forward collection. Unfortunately did not fit my body, but that’s no reason for a «meh» review.
What disappointed me was that the salesman was trying to get me to buy a suit that clearly did not fit me well. Was feeling the hard sell, did not enjoy the experience.

It was time for a suiting upgrade and I felt that some of the lesser men’s shops (the ones offering buy 1 get 3 free deals every other week?) had slipped even further in quality and customer service than usual. So I did some research and found SuitSupply suits are amazingly made and really stylish. Italian fabrics with pedigree, custom tailoring, and dozens of different fits– what’s not to love?
The Dallas location is their flagship and it shows– it’s huge, cool, and there are tons of knowledgeable sales staff running around throughout it. Three sales associates waited on me alone for at least two hours! I can’t thank Megan, my primary salesperson, enough. It had been awhile since I had purchased a new suit, and never one of this caliber, so I had a lot of questions and preferences that she had never come across before, but that didn’t stop her from giving me perfect advice and recommendations.
I specifically went in looking for a good navy suit, but they didn’t have a particular one I liked in my size. So she suggested a navy shadow stripe that I liked even better than the plain navy.
In terms of style, I’m 6′, athletic, and all shoulders. The Napoli fit off the rack like it was tailored for me. No jacket adjustments required (I always need that roll under the collar in the back taken in). Pants just needed basic hemming and to be taken in.
The suit will be tailored and shipped to me within a week (!). I haven’t even received the finished product, but I can already say this is one of the best shopping experiences I’ve ever had.

After doing extensive research online, I knew that I wanted to get a suit from Suitsupply. The problem was that there wasn’t one in Dallas but their website said one was opening soon. I waited over half a year before finally cashing in my birthday gift from my girlfriend and I was completely satisfied with my suit and shopping experience.
So what separates a Suitsupply suit from one found at more common stores such as Men’s Wearhouse, Jos A Bank, or Macy’s? The main factors would be the material, construction, fit, and price of the suit. Suitsupply uses premium materials, imported from wool mills in Italy that have been in existence for 150+ years. You are going to get a 100% wool suit. Cheaper suits will be made up of a mixture of wool and other synthetic materials, such as polyester. Of course, being made of higher quality material not only makes the suit look better but it also makes it feel better and last much longer. If you’re spending hundreds of dollars on a suit, you want it to still look good decades from now, and you won’t really get that with a synthetic suit.
As far as construction goes, a suit jacket is made of two layers. What’s inside that holds these two layers together determines the construction of the jacket. Cheap suits (and even some expensive designer label ones) are fused together by glue. Fused suits won’t drape over the body well and won’t mold into the wearer’s shape over time (it is glue after all). Worse yet, excessive heat from dry cleaning can actually melt the glue inside, forever ruining the suit. All Suitsupply suits are at least half-​canvassed, with their more luxurious line being fully canvassed. Here, horsehair fibers are stitched into the middle layer of the jacket, giving it a nice bouncy and drapey look that will mold to the wearer’s body over time. Canvassed suits are a mark of high quality as the process is very tedious compared to simply gluing the layers together.
Suitsupply offers an inordinate amount of fits that I won’t get into here, but the big takeaway is that their fits are much more modern and slim compared to other traditional stores. If you’re of average body build and you go to Men’s Wearhouse, you are expecting to have numerous alterations done on your suit to get it to a nice slim fit. The tailoring charges will quickly add up, plus you run the risk of ruining the suit because of so many needed alterations. Suitsupply offers suits that are naturally slim with slim tapered pants as well. Jackets can actually fit perfectly off the rack. You’d be able to save the money that would’ve gone towards tailoring if you bought a cheap bulky suit.
Now put that all together and without a doubt, Suitsupply is the best bang for your buck in terms of buying a suit. A 100% wool, canvassed suit can easily run over a $ 1000, but Suitsupply blue line suits start out at just $ 399. That’s even cheaper than most suits at Jos A Bank. You can’t really get this type of quality for this price anywhere.
So as for my review itself, the store is very nice and modern. I felt like I was in menswear heaven and my girlfriend was in interior design heaven. Shopping here is more like having a fashion consultant help you instead of browsing on your own. We were helped immediately by Christian, who really knew his stuff. He took his time in putting different jackets on me and telling me what worked and what didn’t. When you go to the fitting room, they will provide you with a dress shirt and shoes so that you get an accurate fit. The Sienna fit my body the best, and I ended up just needing a hem on my pants. The jacket fit perfectly. My suit was ready in only 20 minutes, but if I needed more alterations done, they still have a quick turnaround of only 3 days. Every guy owes it to himself to get a suit from here.

If I was a guy, I would get my suit from Suitsupply, no questions asked. My boyfriend postponed receiving a birthday gift for months just so he can get a suit from Suitsupply once it opened. This place is nice! Very clean, sleek, and modern looking. There is a room full of suits, but someone will assist you very quickly so that you’re not overwhelmed. The first time I came, Christian helped my boyfriend out. He was really good about explaining what to look for in a suit and recommending a suit without any biases. My boyfriend ended up getting the Sienna because it fit him the best with the least amount of alterations. All he needed was a hem and they did that in store fairly quickly.
I was so satisfied with the experience the first time around that I convinced my brother, who was initially insistent on getting a suit from Men’s Warehouse or Jos A Banks, to get one from Suitsupply instead. As a side note, my brother is extremely stubborn, impatient, and short-​tempered, and convincing him to go to Suitsupply was hard enough. I don’t remember who was helping him this time around, but he was extremely patient with my brother. However, being how stubborn he is, not only did we spend twice the amount of time on him, but we had not two, not three, but FOUR store associates help him out. I was sitting on the side just shaking my head the whole time. But with amazing customer service, my brother ended up also getting the Sienna.
I honestly don’t know the difference when it comes to suits, but I can tell Suitsupply offers top-​notch quality. Customer service is amazing, and after one trip here, you’re going to want to buy all of your suits here.

Came by here this afternoon to find a suit for my fiancé and left very happy! We were greeted by Megan who was super helpful and incredibly personable! My fiancé spent about an hour trying on different suits, ties, etc. and Megan was right there happy to help the whole time. They carry a vast supply of different color, fabrics and styles of suits. They even have an in-​house tailor and a tie wall! The dressing rooms are über roomy and they also have plenty of well dressed mannequins around if you’re like me and need more visual help when choosing outfits! The store design is very modern and definitely more suited towards the young, professional male.

Needed a new tie for headshots at work. Walked by SuitSupply by accident and I’m certainly glad I did! I was greeted by Jennifer who was very knowledgeable and pointed out some great options based on the suit/​shirt I described. Walked out with a couple new ties and socks. Would definitely return if I needed a good suit!

I’ve owned about twenty suits in my life; I started wearing them in for work in 1999 when I separated from the service. Looking back things, some of my suits were great, some were kinda average and a few were just disasters. The differences between great, fair and poor come down to a couple key things, the best of which are embodied in this company.
Suitsupply has become my go to retailer for business wear. They sell both online and through retail locations around the globe. I’ve been waiting for the Dallas store to open for about a year, so when they recently opened the store in Dallas I was eager to see the items I had been browsing online. Previously, I purchased Suitsupply through Stanley Korshak in Dallas, and it was a great experience.
I walked into the Suitsupply store and was greeted by Leland – sharply dressed and very much checked in. He wanted to be here. This was a Sunday around lunch.
Daniel was assigned to help me. I am an assignment for sure because when I buy a suit, I like to by several integral outfits with shirts, ties, and additional pants. All of that stuff gets laid out.
The first thing Daniel did for me was to fit me to a suit. I tried on the size I usually wear and it was good. Daniel took a look at the jacket as it sat on me and had me try another. Boom — fit like a glove – magic. I mean this jacket fit so well I should really have purchased two. Minimal alterations required. There is a focus on fit.
Next we fit the suit pants. Tailoring make a huge difference in your look and the expertise with which the garments are pinned and the tailoring is performed is critical. Daniel took a lot of time getting the pants pinned up correctly. There was one particular area that needed some more sophisticated tailoring, and Daniel was quick to have a tailor come over get it sorted. My shirts are also tailored and Daniel again made sure to measure the darts on mine and also adjusted the sleeve length. Detail oriented company. Detail oriented people.
Ties and other accessories were next, and Daniel went up and down the ladder many times in search of just the right ties. He remembered the types of ties I don’t like. He didn’t tire of me while I made my selections, and was attentive to other customers when I needed a few minutes to sort things out. He just knew how to handle things.
Daniel and I also had short conversations about some pretty specific aspects of suit construction, tailoring, and garments in general – based on questions I asked. He knows his stuff for sure and I learned some key things I will use in the future.
Leland came by and we talked about shoes for a minute. I just really felt like these gentlemen were here to help share their expertise. At the same time, I could easily see myself hanging with these guys in everyday life. Retail stores of any type rarely make this type of connection with customers.
So yeah… I scored a killer suit with accessories. It wasn’t inexpensive, but that’s not what I wanted. Suitsupply does have value-​priced suitings and casual wear as well. Even though it is very much a boutique, it is by no means exclusive or ultra high end.
I drove forty miles one-​way for Suitsupply and I will need to do it again in three days when I pick up my items being tailored. I will drive forty miles one-​way every time I need a new suit, and I just might drive forty miles one-​way if I don’t need really need a new suit. I met some of the coolest people ever who I would absolutely hire in a second.
