The best off-the-rack (Ready to Wear) Suit Brands in the world.
If you’re Looking for a new suit but don't want to spend the money on a bespoke suit - Then don’t worry, IsuiT Italian Luxury has you covered. There are still plenty of great options for you. Here is a list of the best off-the-rack (OTR) suit brands in the world:
Any of these suiting brands will leave you with a smile on your face. The quality of these designer suits is really like nothing else you will ever see, and that is why we sell them, and that is why they are included in this prestigious list of OTR suits.
First of all let’s talk about what Ready-to-wear and off-the-rack actually means - and what the difference between these two equal suit types and a bespoke suit actually is.
What is the difference between a bespoke suit and a RTW/OTR Suit
The difference here is very easy to explain - if you have a bespoke suit made, it means the suit is “spoken for” - meaning no one else can buy it, because it was made for a specific body, by a specific tailor, who was measured for the suit and who will be the best person to fit into this particular suit. This saves a lot of hassle of measuring yourself and understanding how to drop a suit.
On the other hand, a RTW or OTR suit is a suit that you buy from a shop, which was already made - and was made in a certain size. These suits will all have two numbers associated with them, the size and the drop.
An example of a standard size suit is a 50 R8, which will fit the body of a normal shaped man, of average build and average height. The higher the first number, the larger the suit, the lower the second number, the more spacious the suit will be.
You should also decide on the style of suit you want to buy, whether it be a three piece suit or a double-breasted suit.
The best thing to wear with a suit like this is a White Work Shirt
With all that being said, let’s talk about our favorite Italian RTW and OTR Suit brands:

Boss suits (formerly known as Hugo Boss Suits) deserve a mention here, as although they are not an Italian brand, the cut of their suit is incredibly Italian, if not even Neapolitan. That is why they are included in a list of our favorite Off-the-rack Italian suit brands.
