1. Ermenegildo Zegna
$4,500 RTW – $5,000+ MTM
This brand, often known simply as Zegna, is one of the world’s leading producers of fine fabrics, suits, and other men’s apparel. It’s currently in its fourth generation after having been founded in 1910, and it’s headquartered in Milan, one of the centers of high fashion located around the world.
One of the things that sets Zenga apart is the fact that they make their own fabrics. By that I mean they actually own their own wool mills in Australia. They truly offer the highest quality fabric out there. It’s a good reason as to why brands like Brioni and Tom Ford use it.
2. Tom Ford
$5K RTR + $5K+ MTM
Tom Ford himself has an impressive history in the fashion industry, having worked with major brands like Gucci, and the Tom Ford suit brand is exceptionally stylish while maintaining a minimalist feel that is both sophisticated and sleek. There are nearly 100 standalone Tom Ford boutiques in the world, including stores in Milan and Dubai.
While I own Tom Ford suits myself and personally love them, it’s a rather difficult brand to shop. If you’re not in particular major cities, your chances of buying it are reduced to pretty much, good luck! Exclusively aside, Tom Ford might be a hot brand name to some, but in reality, the suit quality speaks for itself. Out of this world to the say the least. Of course, that’s assuming you prefer the fashion forward look. It’s not for everyone.
3. Brooks Brothers
+$2500 RTW – $1.5-3K Bespoke
As the oldest clothing retailer in the United States with a history that goes back to 1818, Brooks Brothers represents a well-known and highly respected brand of premium men’s suits. Their logo and name came about as a result of Henry Brooks calling on his sons to help the business.
4. Brioni
$6-10K RTW – $7-25K Bespoke
If you want to look like a true celebrity, Brioni is the way to go. This brand has been worn by the likes of Jeff Bridges, Sam Jackson, and Denzel Washington, so you know the brand is in extremely high popularity. Italian brands such as this are exceptionally tailored and sophisticated.
You just can’t beat them. Their happy to work vicuna, exotic skins and yes, even diamond encrusted accents. The truth is, they are a strong bespoke business. Completely custom is what really sets them apart or as they like to describe it, “creating a second skin.”
The process requires several fittings and a skeleton which is constructed base upon your own, unique body. Over 6,000 stitches are made by hand; requiring 20 hours to produce just a single suit. If you’re in New York, check out their new flagship store on Madison Ave. With croc shoes priced at $10K, it doesn’t disappoint for men who want to either dream, or buy the finest the world has to offer.
5. Kiton

Meet the R. Jewels Diamond Edition suit. I’ve included this as more of novelty, as it is more or less a PR stunt. If you want to the best money can buy, well technically it’s hard to beat the price tag consider it reaches close to a million dollars.
The suit consists of 480 VS2 quality diamonds (240cts), and requires an impressive 600 man hours to create. It has been said that only three will be offered for sale.

8. William Fioravanti

The William Fioravanti brand is famous for its ability to tailor a suit that will fit any man perfectly. Their master tailors make subtle adjustments over three fittings to ensure a pattern that is uniquely your own. They use fabrics made in England and Italy exclusively for their brand of fine suits.
