Our Story

Best Suit Australia was founded in 2018 by a group of Melbourne-based menswear enthusiasts who shared a common frustration: finding reliable, honest advice about men's suits in Australia was surprisingly difficult. Between flashy marketing campaigns and conflicting information, we knew there had to be a better way to help Australian men navigate the world of tailored clothing.

What started as a passion project among friends who spent their weekends visiting tailors across Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane has grown into Australia's most trusted independent resource for men's suit guidance. Our team has collectively tried on thousands of suits, attended countless fittings, and developed relationships with tailors and retailers across the country to bring you insights you simply cannot find elsewhere.

We understand that purchasing a suit is often tied to life's most significant moments: your wedding day, a crucial job interview, an important business presentation, or a milestone celebration. These occasions deserve more than generic advice. They deserve guidance from people who genuinely understand the nuances of lapel widths, the importance of proper shoulder construction, the difference between half-canvas and fused suits, and why the right break length can transform your entire silhouette.

Our commitment extends beyond simply recommending products. We believe in educating Australian men about the fundamentals of suiting, from understanding fabric weights suitable for our unique climate to recognising quality construction techniques that ensure longevity. Whether you are investing in your first suit or adding to an established wardrobe, our goal is to empower you with knowledge that serves you for years to come.

Based in Melbourne but serving the entire nation, we take pride in considering the diverse needs of Australian men, whether you are attending a beach wedding in Queensland, navigating the corporate dress codes of Sydney's CBD, or seeking something versatile enough for Perth's varied social calendar. The Australian lifestyle demands suits that can handle our climate while maintaining the sophistication expected in professional and formal settings.

Our Editorial Standards

Transparency is fundamental to everything we do. When we recommend a product, we clearly distinguish between items we have personally tested and those based on extensive research and customer feedback. We maintain complete editorial independence; brands cannot pay for positive reviews or influence our recommendations.

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through our links. This affiliate relationship helps fund our operations and allows us to continue providing free, comprehensive guides. However, this never influences which products we recommend. We feature products because they offer genuine value, not because they offer higher commissions.

Our testing methodology involves evaluating suits based on construction quality, fabric composition, fit options, value for money, and suitability for Australian conditions. We update our recommendations regularly to reflect new releases, discontinued products, and evolving best practices in menswear.
