General

Where is your store located?: We are solely based online so we don’t have any stores to try suits/tuxedos. We don’t pay rent or fancy overheads, which means that we can pass valuable savings onto you! At Suitor, we have a Fit Guarantee to ensure that you are looking superb for your upcoming event. We recommend adding a Backup Suit to your Rental order. For an additional £10, we will send you a second size of suit jacket and suit trouser to ensure the perfect fit. You can wear whichever one that you prefer for your event. This is a brilliant option so you have the choice, once your order arrives.
Do you deliver UK-wide?: Absolutely, we deliver directly to your door anywhere in UK to both residential and business addresses. We send to all major cities and towns across the UK including London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cardiff, Bristol, Manchester, Liverpool.

How does the Backup Suit work?: If you're unsure about your size, you can add a 'Backup Suit' to your order for only £10.
