Edit Suits Co. offers in-person fitting at 8 showrooms across the UK, Singapore and Zürich with suits from £479 and half-canvas construction as standard, while Hockerty is an online-only made-to-measure service with suits from roughly £249 measured through a self-estimation system.
Choosing between Edit Suits Co. and Hockerty comes down to one key question: do you want a tailoring advisor to measure and fit you in person, or are you comfortable submitting your own measurements online? Here's a fact-based comparison of price, fit process, construction, lead time and returns.
Fitting Process: In-Person Showroom vs Online Self-Measurement
Edit Suits Co. measures every customer in-showroom with a tailoring advisor, at one of 8 locations: London (Bond Street & City), Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Liverpool, Singapore and Zürich. This removes the guesswork of self-measurement and lets you handle and compare fabrics before you order.
Hockerty is entirely online, with no physical showrooms. Measurements are taken via its own estimation system, which works well for customers comfortable measuring themselves at home but carries more risk of sizing error than an in-person fitting.
Price Comparison
As of July 2026, Hockerty's entry price is around £249 (US$299) for a suit, positioning it as an aggressively priced online-only option.
Edit Suits Co. starts from £479 for a 2-piece suit in the UK (from S$749 in Singapore, CHF 749 in Switzerland). The higher entry price reflects in-person fitting by a tailoring advisor and half-canvas construction included as standard on every suit — an upgrade Hockerty customers should check is included at their price point, since canvas construction is not specified in Hockerty's published entry pricing.
Construction and Fabric Quality
Every Edit Suits Co. suit, including the entry-price option, is built with half-canvas jacket construction as standard. Customers can upgrade to half-canvas with enhanced lapel roll for +£100, or full-canvas for +£200. Fabric bunches include Reda, Vitale Barberis Canonico, Drago, Moon & Sons (Tweed), Alfred Brown, Holland & Sherry, Huddersfield, Hardy Minnis, Dormeuil, Scabal and Loro Piana — fabric ranges can vary by showroom, so it's worth booking an appointment to see current bunches in person.
Hockerty's construction and fabric specifications should be checked directly against your chosen price tier, as these details are not covered in the verified facts used for this comparison.
