Custom Wedding Suits for Grooms and Groomsmen
RealWeddings Guide
V & J Menswear has made custom wedding suits for grooms and groomsmen from its Flinders Lane showroom in the Melbourne CBD for more than 15 years, and has styled more than 3,000 weddings. The showroom offers traditional personal service in a New York-style setting, with garments ranging from casual to formal.
Colour/Palette Range
A full spectrum of options, from classic neutrals like charcoal, navy, beige and black through to seasonal and statement colours, baroque patterns and rich textures.
Customisation Level
A wide range of personal detailing can be added to each tailor-made garment, including the choice of fabrics, buttons, internal colour and pattern linings, customised detailing and hand stitching, internal structure (canvas, floating, fused, half or full canvas), lapel width and design, trouser design, waist height and fastening options, and monogramming. A variety of styles and fitting garments are kept on hand to help guide the choice of suit. Once the garment has been constructed, a second fitting refines and finishes the look.
Brands Carried
Lluis Shoes, Rembrandt Denim, Hardy Amies Shirts and Ties.
Group Ordering Supported
An expert consultant guides the groom and groomsmen through the design process. The couple is encouraged to attend the first appointment together to set the look, colour palette, theme and budget. Groomsmen and family members are then invited to a group consultation.

Testimonials
Rick did a great job suiting me up, will be rocking a beautiful suit for formal!
10/10 experience.
I recently got married and saw Rick to fit myself and my groomsmen for the wedding.
Immediately after stepping foot in the place I knew it was the right choice. He made me feel very comfortable and was willing to work with me in any way to make it all come together.
Each fitting was very enjoyable. Rick was very knowledgeable and talked us through the do’s and don’ts and offered plenty of helpful tips for the big day. We were also offered coffee and scotch while we waited. We didn’t want to leave.
It was exactly the experience I was after for my wedding, couldn’t be happier.
THE most welcoming tailor I've ever been to. Friendly, organised and professional.
I highly recommend this business.
I had to share my recent experience with Enrico and Natalie at V & J Menswear. This was THE best suit fitting and purchase experience I have had. I have been wearing suits all my life and I take pride in how I dress and thought I knew something about fashion, although after being fitted by Enrico and being taught how to dress properly, I realised I knew nothing.
The moment I walked in Enrico took one look at me and he knew, not only my exact size, but precisely what would suit me (even though it was not exactly what I had in mind) and you know what, he was absolutely correct. His knowledge and personality makes the entire experience enjoyable and wanting more!
I have since taken my 83 year old father-in-law to Enrico to be fitted for a suit. The way he treated him and the respect he showed was exemplary and a pleasure to witness. If you want to do something really special for an elderly gentleman, I highly recommend taking him to V & J Menswear. I will continue to take friends & family to 'Rick' to see them have the same experience.
I now feel I have a friend for life in Enrico and will never buy a suit anywhere else. Do yourself a favour and make an appointment today!
Had an incredible experience with Enrico. Rest assured if you are like me and you have zero experience in fashion/menswear he will sort you out. Extremely professional and caters to all budgets. In my case, I came in on a Tuesday afternoon seeking a suit for an event on Sunday, and he delivered by Friday! I would not hesitate to book an appointment if you are looking help/experience in men's wear. In fact, if you are like me and have no clue, this is absolutely where you should go. It is complete ""experience"" and I'll likely never step foot in a department store again.
I finally have a suit that I feel amazing when wearing. Thanks Rick! Will definitely be back for wedding planning in a few years.
In about an hour, Enrico gave me a very beneficial crash course into different looks and styles to suit a myriad of events and occasions.
Walked away with a nice addition to my wardrobe and will back in the near future.
We used V & J Menswear for our wedding. I met Rick at my husband's second fitting and wow! What an awesome experience. Rick's attention to detail is unmatched, every little decision he made or recommended about the suit really pulled the whole look together and made my parter feel a million bucks. The experience felt really customised to his body type, height and style and the quality is impeccable.
You can tell Rick's the real deal, and I'd recommend V & J over and over again. He was also just a really friendly, welcoming guy, and a pleasure to meet.
2nd to none! Hands down the best fitting experience I’ve ever had. Never have I been made to feel so good about myself whilst also having honest feedback about what does and doesn’t work with my figure. Top shelf quality garments accompanied by somone who is truely passionate about making you look your best. I will be back for sure! Thanks Rick !!!
My Family’s and my own experience with Rick was nothing short of amazing, extremely professional and knowledgable and an ever better bloke.
Rick is pleasant, helpful, and totally professional. He listened intently to my needs and showed me the perfect jacket.
As I'm from interstate - my wife found V&J Menswear on Google - the experience was most pleasurable.
I highly recommend V&J Menswear Melbourne.
As a bonus, Rick also makes a fabulous cup of coffee.
Rick is amazing! Not only is he very knowledgeable but he's also a lovely person. Made us feel like family from the moment we walked in. My husband and his crew were dressed by Rick for our wedding, and it was perfect. Thanks, Rick. We will be seeing you again soon.
If you know, you know. Best in the business. Look no further. Rick will take care of you. Jerami
Amazing quality and service, never hesitant to take your husband here!
