Ever wondered what the most exorbitant suits look like?
Words by Aneesha in The Lifestyle · Oct 2nd, 2018
Some of these are worn by celebrities, and some by the supremely rich tycoons. Here are some of the most expensive suits in the world:
1. Stuart Hughes Diamond Edition Us$778,290
As with most expensive things, the ones on the list are often studded with jewels. This is no different. The Stuart Huges Diamond Edition suit costs $778,290 today and combines a blend of Cashmere wool, silk and 480 o. 5-carat diamonds smattered on the suit. This suit was designed by Richard Jewels & Stuart Hughes and took 600 hours to create. There are only 3 of its kind worldwide, but the website says it's still in stock, and we're yet to see someone wear it. Will you be the first?
2. Alexander Amosu Vanquish Bespoke Suit Us $90,953
Designed by famous luxury fashion designer Alexander Amosu, this suit is designed with the help of three unique fabrics - one from vicuna, a South American animal that looks like a llama and shears wool every three years, wool made from the fur of Arctic muskox (also known as the world's most expensive wool) as well as pashmina sourced from the eponymous Himalayan goats. It is truly international in its statement that it takes more than 80 hours and 5,000 stitches to make it. The price of the suit additionally goes up thanks to its nine 18-carat gold and pave set diamond buttons.
3. Dormeiul Vanquish Ii Suit Us$ 95,319
Although there is not much buzz about it today, the Dormeiul group has also created a blended fabric very similar to Amosu's listed on top. The Vanquish II is also a blend of six fabrics - royal Qivuik, Ambassador, Dorsilk, Kirgzy White, and Fifteen Point Eight.
4. Zoot Suit Us$78,000
This particular Zoot suit, from the World War II era, was sold for an eye-watering $78,000 at a 2011 New York auction called Augusta Auctions. It was found by a vintage buyer and is a piece of clothing. It is currently not worn by anyone but would make an interesting Halloween costume, at least. The buyer remains unknown. This piece is actually a clown costume bought originally at $20.
5. William Westmancott Ultimate Bespoke Suit Us$58,252
Straight from Saville Row, the William Westmancott Ultimate Bespoke Suit is designed and woven in a traditional English mill. Making this suit could take anywhere between 150-200 hours. The designer behind the suit, William Westmancott, declares that the suit receives interest from both wealthy Russian & Middle Eastern businessmen. The stitches are made with horse hair so the suit doesn't lose shape over time. Another essential attribute included is the fact that the suit is extremely lightweight. You will also get five complimentary bespoke shirts along with your purchase.
6. Kiton K50 Suit Us$50,000
Made from Merino sheep wool, the Kiton K50 suit's price is around the $50,000-60,000 mark. Only 5 tailors in the company are able to make this particular type of suit within 50 hours. The suit was originally designed by Saville Row's Enzo D'Orsi.
7. Desmond Merrion Supreme Bespoke Suit Us$47,500
Another creation by a popular tailor from Saville Row, this suit much like the others on this list is also hand-tailored by Desmond Merrion himself.
8. Brioni Vanquish Ii Suit Us$43,000
This particular suit has the same materials used in the earlier suits - the unique Vanquish blend. However, this is available at a much smaller price point... compared to the rest anyway. Brioni has the exclusive right to produce Vanquish II garments, and there is only enough fabric to create up to 150 pieces worldwide. There are 14 fabric swatches to choose from, including swatches with pinstripes in yellow-gold, white-gold, or platinum thread.
9. World Wood Record Challenge Cup Suits By Loro Piana Us$28,000
The concept behind this suit is interesting - it changes every year and is a result of the competition organised by the popular cashmere manufacturers Luigi and Sergio Loro Piana. There are only 50 of its kind made every year sold under the Loro Piana label.
10. Ermenegildo Zegna Bespoke Suit Us$22,000 $28,000
