What a custom suit supplier is
A custom suit supplier sells suits that are made for one customer at a time to a business that resells them: a tailor shop, a menswear store, an online brand. The shop measures and fits the customer and sets the retail price. The supplier cuts, sews and ships the suit, usually under the shop's own label.
Not every supplier makes what it sells. A shop looking for a custom suit supplier will meet three kinds: a factory that sells direct, a trading company that places the order with a factory, and a brand or platform that runs a wholesale programme. We are the first kind. We are a made-to-measure factory in Shanghai making about 3,000 suits a month, and the people who answer your questions are the people who make the suit.
Three kinds of custom suit supplier, side by side
General descriptions of how each kind works, not any one supplier's terms. We are the first column.
| Factory selling direct | Trading company | Brand or platform programme | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who makes the suit | The supplier, in its own workshop | A factory the buyer may never be told about | The programme's own factory, or one it contracts |
| Who answers a construction question | The people who cut and sew the suit | The agent, after asking the factory | An account manager or a help desk |
| What the price is made of | The factory's price | The factory's price plus the agent's margin | A programme price list, sometimes with a membership or system fee |
| Matching a suit you sell today | Possible, because the pattern room is in the same building | Depends on the factory behind the agent | Usually you work within the programme's own models |
| Best for | Shops that want to talk to the maker and keep their own fit | Buyers who want one contact across many product types | Shops that want a ready-made system and accept its models |

Questions to ask any custom suit supplier
Ask every supplier the same questions: are you the factory or an agent, what is the minimum order, where does the lead time start and is shipping inside it, where does the cloth come from, will you match a suit I already sell, and what happens when something is wrong. Our answers: the factory; one piece; 14 days in production from a confirmed order, shipping extra; 33 mills and cloth merchants, 26 of them in Europe; yes, with a one-piece trial; and we stand behind every piece: if something isn't right, we make it right.

Frequently asked questions
What is a custom suit supplier?
A custom suit supplier sells suits made for one customer at a time to a business that resells them, such as a tailor shop, a menswear store or a brand. The shop measures the customer and sets the retail price; the supplier cuts, sews and ships the suit, usually under the shop's label. Centi Sartoria is a custom suit supplier with its own factory in Shanghai.
Which custom suit suppliers work with tailor shops?
Trade suppliers that say they sell to tailors or retailers include RJ MTM, John Daniel International, Kutetailor, Baoxiniao, Formens, Steven Tailoring, Dayang Group (Trands USA), Adrian Jules and Centi Sartoria. They differ on minimum order, lead time, price and whether they publish those at all.
What is the minimum order with a custom suit supplier?
It depends on the supplier. With Centi Sartoria it is one piece: one suit for one customer, with no size run and no minimum per style.
How much does a custom suit supplier charge a shop?
Our public starting prices per two-piece suit, ex works Shanghai: CMT with your cloth from USD 100, full make with our cloth from USD 155, half canvas full make from USD 185. Full canvas is quoted by specification. Shipping is extra and import duty is paid by the buyer.
How long does a custom suit order take?
14 days in production from a confirmed order. Shipping is extra and comes on top.
Is Centi Sartoria a factory or a trading company?
A factory. We cut and sew in our own workshop in Shanghai and supply shops and brands direct, with no trading company in between.
What is the difference between a custom suit supplier and a custom suit manufacturer?
A manufacturer cuts and sews the suit. A supplier is whoever sells it to your shop, which can be the factory itself, a trading company or a brand's wholesale programme. Centi Sartoria is both: we make the suits and supply them direct.
Can the suits carry our own label?
Yes. Your label goes in the jacket, and the customer, the measurements and the retail price stay with your shop.
