5 Under-the-Radar Suit Brands That Every Man Should Know

"It's easier than ever to buy a suit. Mall mainstays like J.Crew make very good ones in a range of fits, with a seasonally rotating selection of new and interesting cloths. Affordable specialists like Suitsupply and Spier & Mackay offer impressive quality while pricing everything from two-button jackets to full-fledged tuxedos for far less than it seems they should be able to."

"Now that every guy can get his hands on a great-looking suit that he's wearing not because he has to but because he wants to, how is the devoted fan of tailoring supposed to stand apart from the pack? Get suited up by a brand that the pack hasn't heard about, of course."

"Saman Amel was founded in 2015 by a pair of childhood friends named Dag Granath and (you guessed it!) Saman Amel. The flagship atelier is in the Östermalm neighborhood, with a second in London, along with trunk shows held in Zurich and New York."

Purchasing suits has become increasingly accessible through major retailers like J.Crew, affordable specialists such as Suitsupply and Spier & Mackay, and direct-to-consumer brands offering extensive size ranges and customization options. Despite suits being less prevalent in modern wardrobes than previously, the abundance of quality choices at various price points represents a positive development. However, this widespread availability creates a challenge for style-conscious consumers seeking distinction. The solution involves exploring lesser-known tailoring brands that remain outside mainstream awareness. Saman Amel exemplifies this category, operating from Stockholm since 2015 with locations in London and trunk shows in major cities, offering an alternative to conventional suit-buying options.
