Wedding Suit FAQ's & Suiting Guide
Where can I buy a wedding suit in Melbourne?
Many grooms chooseThe Gentry Menswear, a Melbourne suit store based in Thornbury that specialises in wedding suits for grooms and groomsmen. We offer both ready-to-wear packages and made-to-measure options, making it easy to outfit the entire wedding party.
Do you offer suits for both the groom and groomsmen?
Yes — we specialise in coordinating suits for the entire wedding party, ensuring the groom stands out while the groomsmen complement the overall look.
When should I organise my wedding suits?
We recommend starting the process at least 6–8 weeks before your wedding to allow time for fittings and any alterations. Many Melbourne couples visit The Gentry Menswear early to secure their preferred styles.
That being said - we have a huge range in store, and many local suppliers, so it's never too late for us to help you! Just keep in mind that alterations can take up to 3 days.
Do you do custom Made to Measure suits?
Yes — we offer a premium made-to-measure service for clients looking for a more personalised fit and finish.
Unlike off-the-rack suits, which are produced in standard sizes and adjusted where needed, made-to-measure suits are created based on your individual measurements, with the ability to customise details such as fabric, fit, and styling.
It’s a great option for grooms, special events, or anyone looking for a more refined and tailored result.
Made-to-measure suits typically require up to 6 weeks for production, so we recommend allowing enough time before your event.
Do you do alterations?
YES! We have suiting experts in store, and an in-house tailor with over 20 years experience. We will always alter our suits to give you a better fit. We value well made quality products as well as individual style. The customer should not only look good, but feel comfortable as well.
Do you offer packages?
Of course! Standard Melbourne wedding packages start from $1500 and include 4 plain black suits, 4 shirts and 4 ties/bow ties.
However, our packages can be customised to suit your wedding. If you have more or less groomsmen, if you need suits for the father of the bride/groom or anything else, just ask in store and our team will be happy to assist.
Do you have kids suits? (Page Boy)
Yes these can be arranged on request, based on the age of the child. These items are seasonal, and although we don't always have them in store, we can arrange to have them ordered in for you. This includes plain black suits/tuxedos with shirts and bow ties.
Alterations are also available for kids suits.
What if I don't want a traditional black suit?
No worries! The Gentry Menswear is a Melbourne suit store specialising in wedding suits for grooms and groomsmen. We have a wide range of suits and styles in every colour and fabric to suit the theme of any wedding. Beautiful coloured suits for winery weddings, linens and chinos for beach weddings, we even have suits with prints and patterns if that is the look you are after. Just feel free to come in and ask the team, and we will help to put it all together.
Do you offer suit hiring?
The Gentry Menswear is a Melbourne suit store specialising in wedding suits for grooms and groomsmen. We do not offer suit hire, although to be honest, a rental is not really worthwhile these days, when you can buy suits starting from $299. At this price point you not only get to keep your suit but also guarantee that it will fit you better.
Do you cater to Big Mens Sizes?
Yes. We have suits and shirts in Big Mens sizes. Both wedding suits and standard occasion suits are available.
