Our story

We’ve both always had a passion for suits, which became more than just an interest after I had a number of fantastic quality fine woollen suits made whilst doing voluntary work in Nepal in 2005. 

I remained friends with the tailoring family who made my first suits from Nepal and on returning to the UK, I met up with old schoolfriend David; together we decided to use our engineering and software backgrounds to simplify tailoring and bring back the idea of a local tailor for everyone. We trialled the idea of A Suit That Fits at Hampstead market and sold our first two suits within twenty minutes of opening. This was a clear sign that we had a viable business idea, so we then worked through the night to create a simple website that was just about able to make one of our uniquely customised suits. We rented our first studio near Liverpool Street Station using money loaned on a credit card, and David continued to work two jobs for the first six months to help get us started. 

Since 7th June 2006 when we registered our first customer, we’re thrilled and very proud to be part of a fantastic and growing team of wonderful people both here in the UK and in Nepal at A Suit That Fits, and thank you to our wonderful customers for your ongoing support and custom.
