Designer Spotlight: Enzo Custom

In the world of custom men's wedding suits, the bespoke suit reigns supreme. It's the Corvette of the sartorial space. It's a made-from-scratch work of art designed from the ground up to the exact fit, style, and specifications of the person who'll be wearing it. As such, bespoke suiting tends to be something you have to go a little bit out of your way for. Whether it's figuring out how to finance the suit (they tend to run up a bill of at least $2000 if not more) or finding the right craftsman to make it for you, accessibility isn't always easy. Enter Enzo Custom, a menswear hub that's made bespoke suiting available to anyone, anywhere–and at prices that are tough to beat. Whether you're gearing up to get married or just need a go-to suit for your next few years of wedding invites, Enzo Custom is one of the best investments you can make in your wardrobe.

Why We Look to Enzo for Custom Suits

I could talk for days and days about the differences between tailored suiting, made-to-measure, and bespoke and the individual merits of each route. Long story short: all three options can make for a great wedding look. Made-to-measure is often the most accessible route in the space, providing a customized suit made to your exact measurements and oftentimes not requiring an in-person visit to a flagship store to get you there. Bespoke is indisputably the highest quality of the three and differs from made-to-measure in that a suit made via the latter process is often cut from a preexisting pattern. With bespoke, there's no preexisting pattern. From the moment shears touch fabric, every single piece of the suit from the lining to the stitching is totally unique to the person who'll be wearing it.

As a result, bespoke suiting tends to be on the expensive and time-consuming side. It's with good reason–you're paying for the time, service, and insight of experts in the suiting field. Still, between the sometimes prohibitively expensive cost and the lack of access for in-person fittings (bespoke suiting hubs tend to be concentrated in major cities), it's not always a viable option for those looking to get a custom suit made.

Where Enzo Custom differs from other bespoke retailers is in making price and accessibility far less of an issue for customers. The brand, which was founded in 2011, takes bespoke to a macro scale, offering online fittings and in-person ones alike and drawing on a wide well of craftsmen to build customers' dream suits. Enzo Custom also sources their fabrics from some of the more notable mills in menswear, including Loro Piana (the brand of choice for the Roys on Succession) and Zegna.

Suits cut from those designer fabrics may run you a pretty penny, but Enzo Custom's secret sauce is their in-house fabrics (which are of an incredibly high quality). A garment made from one of these will often ring up in the triple digits rather than quadruple, which instantly makes a bespoke suit more attainable to the masses.

You no longer have to book a flight to London's Saville Row for an incredible bespoke suiting experience. With Enzo Custom, the suit you order from your couch will be as stunning as one ordered from their metropolitan showrooms.

It's first important to note that the experience I can speak to with Enzo Custom is limited to that offered by the showroom, though by all accounts their website delivers the same exceptional customer service and attention to detail. Additionally, if you get measured in a showroom and then opt to buy a different suit after some time has passed, the brand keeps your measurements on file. This means you don't have to re-take them unless you feel the need to do so.

Outside of price, one of the biggest deterring factors when buying a bespoke suit is the investment of time it requires. Most classic bespoke suitmakers take three to four fittings at least to put together a suit. Now, to be clear, it's often an investment well spent. Still, when you consider that some of the world's premiere bespoke suitmakers are limited to in-person appointments and located in major metropolitan areas, it can put up a big wall between the people who want to buy a bespoke suit and the people who actually have the time and proximity necessary to get one.

Enzo Custom breaks down that barrier by making bespoke suiting time and cost-effective. Your journey through the Enzo Custom showroom starts with a preliminary appointment and fitting, often set for around an hour. The brand is very particular about their scheduling and their showrooms are small, so you can trust that when you show up for yours you'll have the full attention of the brand's on-site representatives.

The biggest decision to make in your Enzo experience is the fabric from which your suit will be made. The brand's fabric books are vast and the options can feel a little overwhelming, but their employees are excellent at pulling selections for you based not only on your sartorial needs but also your budgetary ones. Building a suit during your fitting isn't as straightforward as a checklist. Options can be tossed around, changed, and reconsidered as you're measured (the brand will take over 30 individual measurements to piece together your suit) and the vision for your suit comes together. Your design options are truly limitless, as bespoke fittings should be–lapel widths, for example, can be measured down to a fraction of an inch rather than being available in narrow, standard, and wide. If you've come into the showroom with a clear vision of what you want, the brand's representatives will help you piece it together. On the other hand, if you're a bit more keen to improvise (or just haven't put together a vision board), they're also great at guiding you to the suit you're looking for and discovering it alongside you.

A suit of the quality that Enzo Custom provides can often take months to make and multiple visits to a showroom. With the brand's internal structure (they're vertically integrated and utilize a streamlined wholesale business for their textiles) and scale (they've got an army of expert suitmakers on staff) you can get your suit in less than two months–a timeline far closer to that of a made-to-measure suit rather than a bespoke one. Suits are generally ready five weeks after your first fitting. It's always pertinent to factor in a couple of weeks for a round of alterations after it's ready, but if the changes are minor there's usually someone on hand in the showroom who can take care of them before you leave.

While bespoke is the bulk of Enzo Custom's business, the brand also has an array of predesigned suits available via their website. These can still be made to bespoke measurements, mind you–you aren't losing that quality in purchasing them. Rather, they're well-designed pieces that take the pressure off of customers who maybe want a few decisions made for them in the suitmaking process. Here are some of my personal favorites in the brand's arsenal.
