Men in Denver now have a place they can buy a tailored suit that doesn't break the bank.
Founded in Amsterdam by Fokke de Jong in 2000,
Suitsupply has opened a 7,000-square-foot store at 299 Detroit St. in Cherry Creek North. The store features suits made from Italian fabric starting at $385. Made-to-measure suits are a bit pricier.
"You come in, get fitted and walk out in the suit," says Nish de Gruiter, Vice President and the partner in the company who describes himself as the "market maker" for Suitsupply. "We spend a lot of effort training our guys to get you fitted."
Suitsupply stores have on-site tailors that perform basic alterations as the customer waits. "We can offer you a cup of coffee or a drink while you wait," de Gruiter says.
In addition to suits, Suitsupply sells blazers, shirts, overcoats, scarves and a variety of shoes. "It’s a one-stop shop," de Gruiter says. "Everything we have is private label. It's designed and manufactured in-house."
Suitsupply selected Denver as its first location in the west after noticing its online sales to men in the region increase. Men who traveled to its other stores began receiving compliments on their wardrobes and word spread.
"You can buy a $5,000 suit, but if it doesn’t fit right, it doesn’t look good," de Gruiter says. "You feel comfortable in a good-fitting garment."
