Even in 2019, with the titans of luxury fashion rushing out streetwear lines and weekend hiking gear stalking the front rows, every stylish man is still in need of a few good suits.
Sure, they might be more likely to wear them with a t-shirt and a pair of oversized trainers than a white-collar shirt and dress shoes these days. But the beauty and elegance of a perfectly cut two-piece is – thank God – immune to the tides of Insta-fashion, and will long outlive it all.
So the age-old question of where best to find your perfect suit is still an important one. One company trying to offer a fresh answer – particularly for those who have outgrown off-the-peg high street suits but still aren't in a position to take a stroll to Savile Row – is Edit Suit Co.
The company claims to be the fastest made-to-measure option in the capital, delivering your choice in less than 3 weeks. But more importantly, they do it at a lower cost than the masters of W1S, partially basing themselves in locations with lower overheads (not that spots in Bond Street and the City are anything to sniff at), partially by controlling the entire supply chain themselves - from design, through to manufacturing, quality control, sales and distribution. As such, they can offer luxury fabrics from such esteemed suppliers as Ermenegildo Zegna, Loro Piana and Scabal at a far lower cost than you'd expect.
A serious but unstuffy consultation is your first step - like all good tailors, they'll adhere to your wishes while carefully keeping you on the right path - then it's a short wait for your personal creation to arrive. All of which means Edit Suit Co. is the perfect choice for anyone with an interest in tailoring who wants to take things up a notch or two. It's a modern solution, to a thankfully timeless conundrum.
