I started A Suit That Fits.com because… I am passionate about individually hand tailored suits. I had a fantastic suit tailored for me in Nepal when I was on my Gap year.
Returning to the UK, I bumped into my school friend David [Hathiramani, co-founder] who commented on my olive green flared suit (well…who wouldn’t!?), and our idea for the world’s first online tailor was born. We wanted to create a company that fuses tailoring with technology and make it available to almost everybody.
Before I started the business I… had been travelling the world on a Gap year. I was teaching science in the HVP school in Nepal when I met the small, highly-skilled family of tailors that we still work with today at A Suit That Fits.com.
We also support the HVP school where I taught, donating a proportion on top of our tailoring costs from every suit we stitch.
I love what we do because… we make our customers amazingly happy and I work with a very enthusiastic team both in the UK and in Nepal who are all as passionate about suits as I am.
To help me keep in tune with our customers, the entire management team, including myself, spends at least one day per month working in one of our 22 branches nationwide. Through our combined ongoing experiences and the experiences of our styling team, we are constantly evolving according to customer feedback to ensure that our customers exactly what they need.
It’s great to meet our customers who love being able to design their own suit that matches their personal style as well as fitted to their frames perfectly; and it is so exciting to see the different styles they dream up!
