These tech-savvy brothers continue to stay ahead of the curve in observing retail shifts. E-commerce has taken precedence over brick-and-mortar stores, and SUITABLEE is a pioneer in online custom menswear. As we are returning to more of a pre-pandemic world, the convenience of online shopping is here to stay.

I was lucky enough to meet up with the Suitablee team in Montreal to get personal measurements for a suit. The process was very quick, all thanks to the extremely competent staff on site. I then used those carefully taken measurements to order one of their custom-made suits online after I arrived home. The whole process is as simple as that – no hassle, no headaches, and definitely no problems. They do everything for you.

Before their launch, they both worked in technology and engineering. They didn’t have a ton of experience in fashion, but they knew that their experience with tech would be an asset. “I had a thirst for entrepreneurship,” says Jean-Sebastien. “I wanted to start my own business and make a name for myself. Once Jean-Jeremie agreed to work with me, I knew we were set up for success.”

With all the options available out there, we settled on a local company based in Old Montreal. They’re called SUITABLEE and make amazing face masks at a very affordable price. Each mask is available for CAD $20 and with it you can order some interchangeable PM2.5 filters to get you started that are CAD $1 each.

Surviving and thriving within competitive markets that are crowded with hopeful start-ups and entrepreneurs is never easy. Is it possible, though, to learn from those who have gone before and avoid obstacles that they managed to overcome? We put this question to the experts at SUITABLEE, an enterprising Canadian custom suit company.

Un ingénieur montréalais a pris la décision osée de quitter son emploi dans de grandes firmes de télécommunications où il travaillait depuis plus d’une décennie pour devenir une référence de la mode pour hommes au Québec.

Combining artificial intelligence (AI), algorithms, and custom tailoring, SUITABLEE’s success was remarkable. "We practically exploded overnight," explains co-founder and CEO Jean-Sebastien Siow. "It was incredible, but we certainly learned quite a few things very quickly. With that knowledge, we were able to maintain and scale our success."

Nevertheless, I've decided to order him a custom shirt from SUITABLEE, a Montreal-based shirt and suit store that specializes in custom-made men's clothing. So why did I choose them? I first discovered them on their beautiful Instagram, where they have lots of cool shirt pictures. People like me and you are able to design their suits and shirts online or in the comfort of their homes or office - I love this because I don't even need to leave my own house!

Jean-Sebastien and Jean-Jeremie are also recognized as the pioneers of the production technology to create the first and only online custom suits company to achieve the production speed of shipping customer orders within seven business days of orders being placed.

Scaling SUITABLEE to a global brand wasn’t possible without the intervention of technology. That’s when they started working on building a strong background system by blending AI with traditional tailoring methods.
