If you’re shopping for a suit in Tysons Corner, you’ve probably seen both Suitsupply and independent clothiers like us. They serve different needs, and the honest answer is that the right choice depends on what you want. Here’s a fair comparison.
Where Suitsupply fits
Suitsupply is a well-run international retailer with a strong in-house look and quick off-the-rack and made-to-measure options. If you want a recognizable house style, a fast turnaround on a stock size, and a fixed retail price point, it’s a reasonable choice.
Where The Tailored Man is different
- One clothier, in person. Every fitting is handled by a long-term clothier who knows your file – not a rotating sales floor.
- Construction starts at half-canvas. Our floor is half-canvas; many retail and entry made-to-measure suits are fused or quarter-canvas at the base price.
- Mill-level fabric choice. Loro Piana, Holland & Sherry, Zegna, Scabal, Dormeuil, Stylbiella and more – chosen for your body, season, and use.
- A 55-year track record under one name. Established 1969, with clients who’ve been with us for two decades.
- Built around your life. Posture, proportion, and intent inform the cut – not a fixed house block.
Honest take
Chain made-to-measure is genuinely useful for entry-level custom clothing and speed. The Tailored Man is for the man who wants a personal clothier, half-canvas-or-better construction, and a wardrobe that’s built and maintained over years. Custom suits start at $895 – overlapping the price of a good retail suit, with a more personal process.
