How much does a custom suit cost in Singapore in 2026?+
Anywhere from $259 to five figures, and the honest working range for a suit you will actually enjoy wearing is about $700 to $1,900. As re-checked on 4 October 2026, the published entry prices on this list run: Picadilly Tailors $259 for a 100% polyester two-piece, We Are Suitable $299, Ehkay Corner Tailor $380 for a house-cloth two-piece, Edit Suits Co. $749 for a half-canvas ES Essentials two-piece, CYC Made to Measure $1,320 for a two-piece, Made Suits $1,599 for house Japanese wool, and Common Suits $1,799 in English or Italian cloth with GST already included. The jump you feel most is the fabric, not the label: Picadilly's own ladder goes $259 polyester, $659 wool-polyester blend, $859 wool-rayon, $989 pure wool, $1,459 premium branded wool, all from the same tailor and the same pattern.
Which is the cheapest tailor in Singapore, and is the cheapest option worth it?+
Picadilly Tailors at Far East Plaza publishes the lowest number, $259, and it is worth reading what that buys before you book. On its own product listing, $259 is the 100% polyester variant and it carries an 8 to 10 week standard delivery; the same product page then prices wool-polyester at $659 and pure wool at $989. Its shirts start at $89 in polyester and $159 in pure cotton, and the listing promises free alterations for up to six months from collection, which is a genuinely useful term at this price. One oddity worth knowing: the tuxedo listing's description says the tuxedo "ranges from $299.00 onwards" while the fabric options underneath it start at $359, so ask which figure applies before you commit. If you want the cheapest suit that is wool rather than plastic, the shortest route is We Are Suitable at $299 or Picadilly's $659 blend, and the cheapest branded-mill entry is Edit Suits Co. at $749.
What is the difference between made-to-measure and full bespoke in Singapore?+
Made-to-measure adapts an existing house pattern to your measurements; full bespoke cuts a pattern from scratch for you. Made Suits is the clearest example on this list because it sells and prices both. Its bespoke-to-measure line is built on the house signature cut, described on its own FAQ as about 60% handmade, takes 4 to 6 weeks and needs zero to one fitting, and starts at $1,599 for house Japanese wool. Its full bespoke takes 7 to 9 weeks with one to two fittings and starts at $3,399 in European mill cloth, rising to a band it publishes as $17,050 to $50,000. Meiko Tailor sits at the full-bespoke end too but publishes no figure at all, and works strictly by appointment at Pan Pacific Singapore and Boat Quay. One term to check everywhere: most quotes here are for half-canvas construction. Edit Suits Co. and Made Suits both footnote that their suit and jacket prices are half-canvas, and Common Suits charges S$300 more for full canvas.
How early should a groom order a wedding suit in Singapore?+
Three months before the wedding is comfortable, two is tight, and under six weeks limits your choices. The published lead times explain why. Made Suits quotes 4 to 6 weeks for bespoke-to-measure and 7 to 9 weeks for full bespoke, plus 2.5 to 3 weeks for shirts and 3 to 5 weeks for trousers. CYC Made to Measure quotes 6 to 8 weeks on suits and 3 to 4 weeks on shirts. Picadilly Tailors quotes 8 to 10 weeks as standard, with an express service on request through WhatsApp. On top of that, build in time for one alteration round after the first fitting, and remember that a groom usually needs the groomsmen measured in the same window, which is where We Are Suitable's group ladder ($289 a suit at three, $279 at five or more) and Edit Suits Co.'s 10% Essentials Groom Package start to matter. If the date is already too close, Ehkay Corner Tailor rents suits, tuxedos, blazers and tuxedo shirts in 72-hour blocks.
Do Singapore tailors quote prices with GST included?+
Not consistently, and only two tailors on this list say so plainly. Common Suits states on its own pricing page that its figures are inclusive of GST, so its S$1,799 English or Italian cloth suit is the price you pay, and Made Suits heads its whole price list "All Price inclusive of GST", which covers its $1,599 house Japanese wool entry. Nobody else here publishes a GST line beside the number, which means a $1,320 or $749 headline may still gain 9% at the counter. Two other footnotes are worth reading before you compare like with like. Edit Suits Co. adds $100 for the tuxedo option while Made Suits adds $150, and Edit Suits Co.'s shirt package describes the free Essentials shirt as "worth $139" while its own price list shows Essentials shirts from $129. Ask for the all-in figure in writing, including canvas construction and any extra trouser, before you leave a deposit.
Can you rent a suit in Singapore instead of having one made?+
Yes, and on this list Ehkay Corner Tailor is the one that does it. Its own site sets the rental period at a 72-hour (3-day) block starting from the date and time of collection, and the range covers two-piece suits, blazers and sports coats, tuxedos and tuxedo shirts. It does publish the rates, which is unusual: $120 to $170 for a two-piece suit, $90 for a blazer or sports coat, $215 for a shawl-lapel tuxedo, $245 for a peak-lapel one, $70 for a tuxedo shirt and $60 for a regular shirt, all bookable online and marked Singapore only. Size and colour move the two-piece price: its black and midnight-blue listings run $120 in sizes 34 to 36 and $150 from size 38, while the other two-piece listing is $140, or $170 in chest sizes 48, 50 and 53. The shop is at #01-57 and #01-01 Orchard Plaza, 150 Orchard Road, open 11.30am to 8.30pm Monday to Saturday and 11.30am to 6.30pm on Sundays and public holidays. If you would rather own something, its custom two-piece starts at $380, with a solid three-piece at $680, a peak-lapel tuxedo at $760 and a designer three-piece at $820.
