4 Reasons Not To Purchase Off-The-Rack Suits

What are off-the-rack suits?

Off the rack suits or also known as “ready to wear”, are suits that are mass- produced to fit a broad range of figures & sizes. They tend to have a looser fit and never quite fit an individual perfectly. These suits are typically found in department stores.

Below are 4 reasons to not purchase off-the-rack suits

1. Hidden Costs for Tailoring

 Yes! You’ve got a great a deal on a new $399 suit but it doesn’t quite fit you well. Add in the costs to get the jacket tapered, sleeves shortened, pants tapered and your looking at close to $150-$200 in additional tailoring costs.

2. Inability to customize

 With off-the-rack suits, you have to stick with the design of the suit. You can’t choose suiting options, which can complement your figure and own personal style.

3. Time Consuming Shopping Experience

Off-the-rack suits come in limited sizes as they are meant to fit the average guy, who is between 5”7- 5”11 with an average build. As a result, you will spend a great amount of time going from store to store finding the perfect suit.

4. Poor Material

A majority are manufactured using man-made synthetic fibers like polyester, which are not as durable and have poor breathability.
