“Fashion is what you adopt when you don’t know who you are.”
– Quentin Crisp
Here are five top tailored suit companies in Australia, these are rated by their online presence. I won't put them number one to five as it's scored on how transparent and the quality of information online. Tailored suits or made to measure are the greater offer which surpasses the off the rack variety, with custom options and in most cases better quality fabrics. But who does it well and who gives us the most information?
