Custom Vs Off-The-Rack Men's Suits | Which Tailored Suit Is Better? | RMRS Style Videos
About this video
Centeno compares custom suits (bespoke and made-to-measure) versus off-the-rack suits across multiple dimensions including fit, fabric selection, price, convenience, and personalization. He argues that custom suits generally offer superior fit and quality for most categories, though off-the-rack options can provide better deals and immediate availability, and the best choice ultimately depends on individual needs and budget.
Key takeaways
- Centeno contends custom suits win on fit, pattern/color selection, material quality, customer experience, and personalization, especially for those with non-standard body types
- Centeno notes off-the-rack suits offer significant price advantages through discounts and thrift options, plus immediate availability, though tailoring can improve fit on pre-made garments
- Centeno recommends starting with a custom suit in simple colors like solid navy or charcoal gray, and emphasizes the importance of finding a suit that makes you feel confident regardless of which option you choose
