There is an article called RTW MAP – China which talks about quality shoes made in China, and this one is going to talk about classic menswear, to seperate them, I use Off The Rack which reflects clothes as anyone reads.
The same as RTW MAP – China, this one is also to promote those individual brands who offer interesting, impressive and very affordable classic menswear.
Click the brands to their webshops (TAOBAO), it is not affiliate programs, just for your convenience.
Rank only bases on price point, no preference.
Enjoy.
Allen Xie 艾伦谢
Average price：Suits 40000 RMB
Price wise, Allen Xie is top of the top in China, however, it is a fashion house more than a classic menswear brand, and customer base is the second generation of affluent families.
You won’t come cross very bad products, however you can’t easily feel you get what you pay for, product wise.
The Ficus
Average price: Jacket 8000 RMB
The Ficus Off The Rack is the conservative and convenient choice for suit wearers, of course your body shape needs to be common.
The Ficus confidently handles the sizing system and plays with different fabrics.
Taste is mature and sparks breakthrough items in each season.
Generally speaking, the understanding of suits is higher than other Chinese brands.
Caroline Murat 那不勒斯皇后
Average price: Jacket 7000 RMB，Balmacaan Coat 2580 RMB ？！
You can not find suits or suit jacket in its Taobao webshop, but you can try them in physical store. Jacket costs from 7000 RMB, however top fabric and top hand works justify the price.
Its founder comes from The Ficus team.
The Refinery
Average price: Jacket 3000 RMB
Focusing on kinds of jackets (not suit jacket) , in classic garment adds their own twist. It is very original in Chinese menswear field.
No suit choice, high price.
Moonland 木兰定制
Average price: Suit 6000 RMB
The female principal grows in a heritage tailor family, her temperament seems detached and umcompromised.
Stable output with great fabrics make the price 4000 RMB jacket reasonable.
Comparing to current popular Napoli pattern, Moonland is inclined to Roman or Milan style.
It is advised to try Moonland in their bespoke house.
NHO2 氮氢氧
Average price: Suit 4800 RMB
Few knows, delication is put into the brand though. Top level fabrics such as Sherry & Holland are chosen, fully handmade.
Details are not so round to express luxury feeling, and the price is somehow high.
RTions 让定制
Average price: Suit 4250 RMB
I have never seen any other brands have stronger style than RTions, overall Southern Italian style with vintage and leisure twist. Details are also covered.
Most promising brand.
Sharmoon EZ 夏梦意杰
Average Price: Suits 4000 RMB
EZ stands for Ermenegildo Zegna, yes, you read right. This is a joint venture and most Zegna suits (if made in China) you buy globally come from this factory.
The patterns are supplied/copied/shared by Zegna, so it is not bad and suitable for the professions who must wear suits.
By Creations 柏品
Average price: Suit 3500 RMB
The brand name is much more creative than the products. It shares the same factory with SuitSupply (Sharmoon EZ is major, this one is minority), so you can get good clothes. However, without the volume of Suit Supply, its price is not so competitive.
Zingchen
Average price: Jacket 2600 RMB
It was a bespoke tailrong first, then tread into Off The Rack field. Off The Rack collection also sends forth luxury feeling. Souther Italitan style is its house style. if the house prodcuts are IPhone 11pro, then Off The Rack IPhone 11.
Nice value/price ratio, especially for its shirts. Jackets are also not bad.
By the way, the model is magnificent.
Full Monty
Average price: Suit 2800 RMB
Full Monty is the Chinese version SuitSupply and gives better price. Full Monty also uses the same factory as SuitSupply.
Comparing to SuitSupply, Full Monty absorbs more details from high end brands like Isaia, Kiton and so on.
It is amzing that the luxury feeling is achieved at this price point, and so many choices can cover any occasion from dating to formal business.
A no-brainer choice.
Lampo 蓝豹
Average price: Suit 2500 RMB
Design and pattern are very average, typical factory products.
Among 2500 RMB selling price, 500 RMB is the cost at most. Customers are covering their advertising cost.
The luxury feeling comes from the professionally taken photos, rather than the products.
It is not bad for professional need just like Sharmoon EZ.
Skaro
Average price: Suit 2400 RMB
A brand got birth from a shoe brand, Thom Wills, biggest dress shoes seller on Tmall.
Some detailes are focused, such as customized buttons.
However, the feeling is so common to other brands who may share a same factory.
No obvious style, balance also has space to improve though, price is OK.
Comparing to products, packaging is much better.
Saint Angelo 报喜鸟
Average Price: Suits 2000 RMB
It owns surprisingly millions fans on its webshop. The design is odd, such as curved fronts on double breasted suit, colour clashing button holes and lapel button.
Fused construction is not attractive as well.
Simon Lynch
Average price: Suit 1800 RMB
His own workshop makes some entry level italian style suits, the feeling is pronounced.
Half Canvas Construction.
A great choice.
MONKEY MAN
Average price: Suit 1600 RMB
Great products at this price, although fabric is not prestigous, luxury feeling is still achived. Overall style is italian, very good choice for entry suits.
BNF 高朋雅制
Average price: Suit 1200 RMB
It does best to use one item to form various combinations, when other brands boast about its hand work, it emphasizes practicabiliy.
Pattern design is also on the level and follows current popular italian style.
Value choice.
Maste Xu
Average price: Jacket 800 RMB
Best value/price choice, fully handmade in his workshop. As a tailor, skill is unquestionable. I don’t believe current price will last for long, demand will push it higher.
Youngor 雅戈尔
Average Price: Suits 1000 RMB
It used to be the top level Off The Rack suit brand in China, its premium line Mayor cost 6000 RMB above, now this company happily chooses to become a Real Estate company, and clothes are all rushing to the bottom.
Cheap factory products as Saint Angelo.
Vicutu 威可多
Average Price: Suits 1000 RMB
No more comment on this same brand as Saint Angelo and Youngor, pictures are much better than real products.
Romon 罗蒙
Average price: Suit 600 RMB
Whooping price, it is a good choice for graduates into the office.
it also has women wear.
Judger 庄吉
Average price: Suit 400 RMB
It was a national famous brand back in 90s, and went bankrupt in 2000s, now is a subsidiary of Shandong Ruyi Group.
Pattern is out of date, or in better word, traditional, but the price justifies everything. 580 RMB for Full Canvas construction made by its own very modern factory.
I am not sure its business is sustainable or not.
Summary
Hope these Chinese brands can offer people worldwide more choices , both aesthetically and affordably.
我记得maste xu那家也可以自己寄料子过去做。
是的，CMT模式也有的
