OUR STORY

OUR STORY " "
How We Began
Humble beginnings powered by big dreams.
Founded in 2016 as a school project in Nanyang Business School, our goal since day one has been to make tailoring more accessible to all.
Driven by modernising old school practices and daunting shopping experiences, we set out to create a brand that is modern in every way, without compromising on quality and service. By utilising cutting edge 3D body scanning technology - we are able to streamline an age old process and this is paired with the expert knowledge of our tailors, allowing us to produce exceptional quality garments for your everyday and once-in-a-lifetime moments.
We believe deeply in using only the highest quality materials, with a superior look and feel, and a durability that will dramatically increase the lifespan of the product. Our materials are sourced from the best vendors from around the world and are hand selected based on the quality of the materials, and the ethically sound nature of their production.
How Are We Different
We're innovating the way men dress.
Visit our showroom and experience the future of tailoring with our 3D body scanner technology which uses infrared technology to scan our bodies (works just like Apple Face ID).
In under a minute, we are able to capture accurate data by projecting and analysing millions of invisible dots to create a depth map of your body silhouette and build a virtual avatar of you. With this information, our tailors will be able to better understand your body posture and look out for any anormalies such as hunched backs or uneven shoulders. This translates to a more precise cut and exceptional fit for everyone.
SUIT CONSTRUCTION
" "
SUIT CONSTRUCTION " "
Half Canvas Construction
As standard, all of our suits are half canvas.
Each jacket consists of four elements. The outer layer (the fabric which you choose), floating chest piece, canvas and the inner lining.
The suit is constructed with a thin chest piece around the chest area, and stitched above this is the horsehair canvas which extends from the shoulder to the bottom of the chest and the lapel. It is this horsehair layer that gives the suit a natural drape on the body and will mould to your body as you wear the jacket. As the name suggests, only half the suit has a canvas and therefore, from the bottom of the chest down to the bottom of the suit, the outer layer and the inner lining are fused together.
This construction ultimately offers the best of both worlds – the contouring drape along the chest and the affordability which won’t burn a hole in your pocket.
Full Canvas Construction
Upgrade to full canvas at an additional $300 (only applicable to Finest & Bespoke series).
When it comes to suits, the full canvas construction is the epitome of quality. Ask any suit connoisseur/enthusiast and they will tell you that full canvas is the best suit one can pamper themselves with.
A full canvassed suit is constructed with a horsehair canvas which features across the entire length of the jacket and the lapels. Over time, the inner canvas will conform and shape accordingly to your body, resulting in an impeccable and natural drape. Full canvas suits generally require a higher expertise and are more expensive, however, will also last the longest compared to the other two constructions.
When choosing your customisations, do let us know if you prefer the full canvas construction.
WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS

WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS " "
“SuitYourself exceeded my expectations on all marks. Lester guided me through the custom suit process elegantly. I knew nothing about the intricacies of suits beyond “I’m gonna like the way I look” and Lester happily took the time to explain different styles of pleats, collars, and finishes in a kind and welcoming manner. I had some reservations about purchasing a suit while on work travel from the US, but Lester’s constant communication and responsiveness kept me at ease. I absolutely love the quality and fit of my new suits and shirts. 10/10 would recommend to a friend and would buy again. Lester and his team are doing something right. It was a joy doing business with him and I feel the quality of the service and product are absolutely worth the price.”
“Had a great tailoring experience with both Lester and Sheryl, whose passion for preparing a well fitted suit and tailoring in general really shone through in our conversations. In the initial stage, was glad to see that there was a wide variety of fabric and customizations available to suit my preferences. The various rounds of fitting were extremely smooth. And throughout the process, it was evident that Lester and Sheryl have good knowledge on the end to end process of suitting up. Lastly, very happy with how my wedding suit turned out!”
“Team was really patient, professional and attentive. I collected my suits without the need for any alterations - Fitting is fantastic and the quality exceeded my expectations! Will definitely recommend anyone who is looking out to give SuitYourself a visit. Excellent choice.”
