This week we caught up with our suit buyer to give you an insight in to what’s happening at Moss HQ & to answer some of the questions you’ve wanted to ask.

How have the suits at Moss Bros changed over the past few seasons?

Our mens suits have definitely got younger. We have seen a growing interest for suits from a younger age range, demanding fashionable cloths and fits. Inevitably, silhouettes have got slimmer in our range to meet these expectations. It’s great to see lads as young as 16 now wearing suits and as important to us as the more traditional gent who buys from us.

How do we cater for all ages with our suit ranges?


We stock a wide range of brands to serve the diverse range of customers who buy from us. For the consumer who appreciates fashion, we stock the Ventuno 21 range which is a skinny fit silhouette in modern looking cloths. These suits are designed with extra detailing. Furthermore we stock brands like CK, French Connection and Ted Baker doing similar jobs. For the classic customer, brands like Dehavilland and Savoy Taylors Guild provide a more generous fit in traditional time honoured cloths.

Finally, for the customer who is a sartorial elitist, we stock a range of Cerruti cloth & Zegna cloth suits as well as the Moss 1851 brand which are made from some of the finest suiting cloths available.



What changes can we expect for AW12?

More direction towards fashion, in particular British heritage looks. A lot more has gone into the products in terms of better cloth qualities such as super 100s and design integrity. We wanted to make sure you cannot get better value for money when comparing us to any other retailer who sells suits.

Which brand or brands are you most excited about within the suit range?

Ventuno 21. It does a completely different job to any other suit range in our stores and entices the younger guys to buy into it, we have introduced colourful patterned linings to break away from the normal plain linings available on the High Street, we have also introduced pull out pocket hankies that can be tucked in or out of the breast pocket, these elements make Ventuno such a unique brand. Moss 1851 as it is the best of what we do. This range really represents what traditional craftsmanship is all about with half canvas horse hair construction, working cuffs, horn buttons and hand finished details.

What is your favourite suit in stock at the moment?

Our French Connection grey textured suit with a wine spot lining. An updated and Fantastic heritage look from one of our leading designer brands.

What’s your number 1 office essential?

Accent socks. These can add personality to any conservative office dress code without raising too many eyebrows, especially if you can match them to a tie.
