A Suit That Fits

Offering customers a premium service at high street prices, A Suit That Fits was started after one of its founders spent part of his gap year in Nepal and noticed the amount of skill that went into making a bespoke suit at a relatively low price. The business prides itself on being 'at the cutting edge of mass customisation', delivering its offering through three London branches, 19 travelling 'TailorStops' and, most importantly, its website, which allows customers to design suits based on measurements they have taken themselves.  But it isn't just the customers who benefit: A Suit That Fits pays its Nepalese tailors 50% over the local rate and donates an additional 5% on top of its costsgo to local educational projects.

• Online and offline offerings tailor to customers' expectations
• Innovative technology means suits are totally customisable
• Ensures Nepalese workers are well-paid to prevent exploitation
