Key takeaways

• Indochino is made-to-measure. You give one set of measurements, the suit arrives in 2 to 3 weeks, and it cannot be returned.
• Suitsupply is mainly ready-to-wear. You buy your size, pay for alterations in a store, and can return the suit free within 30 days if it is unworn and unaltered.
• Both brands offer jackets with a stiff inner layer in the chest, and both use wool from Italian mills.
• The biggest difference is what happens when the fit is off. Indochino gives you 14 days to claim a fix. Suitsupply takes the suit back within 30 days, but not after a local tailor has altered it.

What is the difference between Indochino and Suitsupply?

The difference between Indochino and Suitsupply is how each brand makes the suit fit. Indochino is a made-to-measure company. Every Indochino suit is made to your measurements, and there are no standard sizes. Suitsupply is mainly a ready-to-wear brand. You buy a Suitsupply suit in your size, and its stores alter it to fit you. The brand is sometimes written as Suit Supply.

Made-to-measure means a base pattern is adjusted to your numbers. Indochino says its showroom staff adjust the base pattern for you. If you measure at home, an algorithm does the same job. You give one set of measurements, and there are no fittings while the suit is made.

Suitsupply also runs a Custom Made program. You order a Custom Made suit online or in a store, and it takes about 3 to 4 weeks. So a fair comparison has three paths: Indochino made-to-measure, Suitsupply off the rack with alterations, and Suitsupply Custom Made.

Which is more expensive, Indochino or Suitsupply?

Indochino costs more than Suitsupply ready-to-wear at regular price, but the entry prices are close. A typical Indochino suit costs $999, and a typical Suitsupply ready-to-wear suit costs $899, checked in October 2026.

Indochino's Studio suits cost $499, and Suitsupply's Perennial suits cost $548 or $549. Above the Studio line, almost every Indochino suit costs $799, $999 or $1,299. Suitsupply's ready-to-wear suits run up to $1,199.

Indochino was running discounts when these prices were checked. A 15% code applied to best sellers, and some suits were 40% off as clearance. Suitsupply showed no sale prices on its suits that day.

Suitsupply Custom Made has the highest entry and top prices. A Custom Made suit costs $673 in tropical wool and $1,523 in Super 180s wool. One Suitsupply store page says Custom Made starts at $773, so check the price in the online designer.

The sticker price is not the full cost. Suitsupply's ready-to-wear price does not include alterations, and the real cost section below adds them up.

Indochino vs Suitsupply quality: fabric and construction

Indochino and Suitsupply build their jackets in a similar way, so the bigger quality difference is the fabric line you choose. Both brands offer a stiff inner layer in the chest of the jacket. That layer helps the jacket front keep its shape and follow your chest.

Indochino offers the inner layer on every suit, including its $499 Studio suits. You can also choose Indochino's Unconstructed jacket, which keeps the inner layer only in the shoulders. At Suitsupply, the Perennial suit checked has a half-chest layer, and the $1,199 S150 Havana has a full-front layer.

The fabric differs more. Indochino's $499 Hexham suit is 95% wool and 5% polyester, at Super 80s. Indochino says its finest fabrics go up to Super 150. Its partner mills include Vitale Barberis Canonico, Guabello and Abraham Moon & Sons. Suitsupply's entry Perennial suit is pure tropical wool from Vitale Barberis Canonico.

A Super number measures how fine the wool fiber is. Finer wool feels softer, and past Super 130s it is more delicate. For a suit in regular rotation, Super 100s to 130s is the usual choice. How to tell a quality suit shows what to check in person.

Indochino includes its design options at no charge. You can pick the lapel, lining, buttons, pockets, vents and a two-line monogram. Suitsupply Custom Made lets you choose the buttons, pockets, lining, lapels, shoulder and chest layer, and add extra trousers or a vest.

How each brand fits you

Indochino fits you by building the suit from your measurements. Suitsupply fits you by altering a suit made in your size.

Indochino: measured once, made for you

Indochino measures you in one of about 47 US showrooms, or you measure yourself at home with its video guide. The suit arrives finished, with no fittings in between. Made-to-measure helps when standard sizes miss your build, for example broad shoulders with a slim waist. How to measure for a suit covers the self-measure route.

Suitsupply: your size, then alterations

Suitsupply has about 39 US stores, where you try on a ready-to-wear suit and a stylist marks the changes. Alterations take 30 minutes to 3 days and cost extra. Online, Suitsupply's Size Passport saves your alterations and applies them to eligible items before they ship. For Custom Made, you are fitted in a store or you design the suit online.

Which one fits better depends on your build. If you wear a standard size and live near a store, Suitsupply off the rack with alterations gets close fast. If standard sizes never fit your shoulders and waist at once, made-to-measure starts closer. How a suit should fit lists the checks for either path.

How long does each brand take?

Indochino takes 2 to 3 weeks, and Suitsupply takes 1 to 6 business days off the rack or 3 to 4 weeks for Custom Made. So Suitsupply is faster off the rack, and Indochino is as fast as Suitsupply Custom Made or faster. Indochino ships by DHL and has no rush option. Busy periods such as Black Friday and Lunar New Year can take longer.

Suitsupply ships ready-to-wear suits free in the US. Its delivery page gives 3 to 4 weeks for Custom Made, while two other Suitsupply pages say 2 to 3 weeks, so plan on the longer figure.

For an event, the suit has to arrive with time left to try it on and fix the fit. That matters most at Indochino, where the fix has its own 14-day window.

What happens if the suit doesn't fit?

If the suit doesn't fit, Indochino fixes it and Suitsupply takes it back. Indochino does not accept returns or give refunds. Suitsupply accepts free returns within 30 days, as long as the suit is unworn and unaltered.

At Indochino

At Indochino, a suit that doesn't fit gets fixed, and you have 14 days from delivery to raise the problem. If you bought in a showroom, book a Final Look appointment there, and its tailors make the changes. If you ordered online in the US, a local tailor can do the work, and Indochino pays back up to $75 for a two-piece suit and $100 for a three-piece suit, with an itemized receipt. If a tailor cannot fix the suit, you send photos within 14 days, and Indochino's team decides the next step. Indochino's policy pages do not promise a free remake.

At Suitsupply

At Suitsupply, a suit that doesn't fit can go back within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. This covers ready-to-wear and Custom Made suits, as long as the suit is unworn, unaltered and in original condition. Ready-to-wear purchases made between November 1 and December 25 get 60 days. If you keep the suit, alterations are paid in a Suitsupply store. Shortening the sleeves costs $29, and hemming the trousers costs $15. Suitsupply's policy pages list no payback for a local tailor.

Fit problems a tailor cannot fix

A jacket that is too short, or shoulders that are too narrow, is hard for any tailor to fix, because there is little or no spare fabric to let out. At Suitsupply, a miss like that means returning the suit untouched within 30 days. At Indochino, it means raising it within 14 days: a Final Look appointment if you bought in a showroom, or photos if you ordered online, with no promised remake. So check the jacket length and the shoulders first, before the sleeves and trousers.

Two mistakes that cost money

Altering too early at Suitsupply and claiming too late at Indochino are the two mistakes that cost money:

1. Altering a Suitsupply suit before you decide to keep it. Work by a local tailor ends your right to return it. Try the suit on at home and decide within the 30 days. Alterations Suitsupply makes through Size Passport do not end the return.
2. Missing Indochino's 14-day window. Try the suit on the day it arrives. Check the jacket length and shoulders, then the sleeves and trousers, and book the fix that week.

The real cost of a suit that fits

The real cost of a suit that fits is the price, plus alterations, plus the wait. On online orders, Indochino pays back a local tailor up to its cap. Suitsupply's ready-to-wear price rises once alterations are added.

• Indochino made-to-measure: the entry suit costs $499. Fit work is a showroom fix, or a local tailor paid back up to $75 for a two-piece on online orders, within 14 days. A finished suit takes 2 to 3 weeks, plus any fix.
• Suitsupply ready-to-wear: the entry suit costs $548. Fit work is paid: $29 for sleeves, $15 to hem trousers and $29 for side seams. A finished suit takes 1 to 6 business days, plus 30 minutes to 3 days for alterations.
• Suitsupply Custom Made: the entry suit costs $673. Fit work is paid in store if needed. A finished suit takes 3 to 4 weeks.

For example, a $548 Suitsupply suit with shortened sleeves and hemmed trousers costs $592. That is above Indochino's $499 entry price and below Indochino's next price, $799. How much it costs to tailor a suit gives typical prices at independent tailors.

Indochino or Suitsupply: which should you choose?

You should choose Indochino if your build falls between standard sizes. You should choose Suitsupply if you want to try the suit on and keep the right to return it.

1. Choose Indochino if standard sizes never fit you. Broad shoulders with a slim waist, long arms or a short torso get a closer first fit when the suit is made to your measurements.
2. Choose Indochino if you want design choices at no charge. Lapels, linings, buttons and a monogram cost nothing extra.
3. Choose Suitsupply if you wear a standard size. A suit off the rack with a few paid alterations is the fastest path.
4. Choose Suitsupply if you want the option to return. Its 30-day free return covers Custom Made suits too.
5. Choose Suitsupply Custom Made if you want finer wool and a full-front chest layer. Allow 3 to 4 weeks.

For a wedding or a tuxedo

For a wedding date, Suitsupply off the rack is the safer bet on timing. It ships in days, and its stores alter a suit in 30 minutes to 3 days. Indochino offers a free Make it a Tux option when you design a suit. Order early enough that the 2 to 3 weeks of making and the 14-day fit window both end before the wedding. Tuxedo vs suit explains which one the dress code calls for.

What else should you compare before you buy?

You should also compare how else a suit can be made to fit, including custom options such as Sartoro. Shoppers also weigh Men's Wearhouse, Bonobos, Proper Cloth, Black Lapel and Spier & Mackay against these two. If you are comparing shirts too, what makes a quality dress shirt lists what to check.

Made-to-measure, custom and bespoke

A made-to-measure suit adjusts a base pattern, a custom suit cuts a new pattern from your measurements, and a bespoke suit is drafted by hand over several fittings. Suitsupply does not say which method its Custom Made program uses. Off-the-rack vs made-to-measure vs bespoke compares all of them.

Sartoro, a custom option

Sartoro is an online custom suit company, and it publishes this guide. Sartoro's patterns are chalked and cut by hand to each customer's measurements. You build your measurements online with the Digital Tailor in 1 to 2 minutes, or you measure yourself. A person checks them against past orders before the suit is cut. Sartoro custom suits cost $495 to $1,150, checked in October 2026.

Delivery takes 3 weeks standard, 2 weeks priority or 7 to 8 days rush. If the fit is off, Sartoro pays back a local tailor, or remakes the garment free if it cannot be altered, under its Fit Promise. First orders come with free returns within 15 days. Sartoro has no stores, so you cannot try a suit on before you order.
