Custom-Made Business Suits for Sydney Professionals

How you present yourself in business communicates everything before you speak a word. A custom-made suit signals confidence, precision and respect for your audience — whether that audience is a client, a colleague or a boardroom. At Akkari Menswear, we create business suits for professionals across Sydney that are built to work as hard as you do and look exceptional doing it.

All consultations are private, one-on-one and by appointment only. You will work directly with tailor Edmond Akkari — not a sales assistant, not a junior fitter — from the first measurement to the final fitting.

Custom business suits at Akkari Menswear start from $1,000, with pricing depending on fabric selection and construction.

Fabrics Built for Professional Life

A business suit must perform across long days, travel and a range of environments without losing its shape, comfort or appearance. We select fabrics specifically calibrated for professional wear:

• Loro Piana — Super 130s and 150s wools offering exceptional softness, resilience and a refined drape that holds all day
• Zegna — Italian luxury suiting with a contemporary refinement ideal for executive environments
• Holland & Sherry — fine British worsteds and Merinos with outstanding durability and a classic professional finish
• VBC — Vitale Barberis Canonico — premium four-season wools that travel exceptionally well and resist creasing
• Ariston — versatile suiting fabrics with depth of colour and excellent wear properties
• Reda — premium Merino wools renowned for breathability and colour retention
• Drago — high-twist lightweight wools ideal for Sydney's warmer months and travel-heavy schedules
• Delfino — Cool Wool blends offering a lightweight, breathable option for year-round professional wear

With over 5,000 fabrics to choose from across weights, weaves, colours and patterns, every client is guaranteed to find the perfect cloth for their garment — from the understated to the extraordinary.

Canvassed Construction — Never Fused

Every business suit we produce is built with half-canvas or full-canvas construction. The floating chest canvas molds to your body over time, improving with wear. Fused garments the industry standard in retail tailoring begin to delaminate and bubble with dry cleaning and heat. Our suits are built to last years, not seasons.

Lapel Styles & Design Details

Notch Lapel

The classic business suit lapel — versatile, professional and appropriate across all industries. The gorge height (the point where the collar and lapel meet) is set to your preference — higher for a more contemporary look, lower for a traditional, conservative appearance.

Peak Lapel

A more commanding choice that projects authority and distinction. Increasingly popular among executives and senior professionals who want their suit to make a statement without sacrificing professionalism.

Additional design options include:

• Single or double-breasted construction
• Two-piece or three-piece with waistcoat
• Single or double rear vents — double vents allow greater freedom of movement and are widely considered the more refined choice
• Functional handmade buttonholes on the sleeve
• Beltless trousers with side adjusters available for a premium trouser finish
• Custom lining, buttons and monogram personalisation

Our Measuring Process

We go well beyond standard measurements. Our process assesses:

• Shoulder type — soft shoulder (minimal padding, natural line) through to structured shoulder for a more formal, classic silhouette
• Armhole height — a high, well-cut armhole allows greater freedom of movement and a sharper line without pulling
• Erect and natural posture — we tailor to how you actually stand and move, not an idealised upright position
• Collar height and neck posture — the jacket collar should sit perfectly against the shirt collar at all times
• Sleeve pitch — set to your individual arm angle for a clean hang and proper length
• All body measurements taken at multiple reference points for complete accuracy

Building a Professional Wardrobe

Many of our clients return to build a complete professional wardrobe over time. A navy, a mid-grey and a charcoal form the foundation — three suits that cover every professional occasion from a Monday morning to a Friday client dinner. We are happy to advise on wardrobe building as part of your consultation.
