Turkish suits are known for precise tailoring, quality fabrics and modern Italian-inspired cuts at a fair price. Turkey is one of the world’s major suit-making countries, and many LORD suits are crafted in Turkey and designed specially for LORD.
What are Turkish suits?
“Turkish suits” are suits designed or manufactured in Turkey, a country with a long textile tradition and a large, skilled tailoring industry. Turkish workshops produce suits for many international labels, combining traditional handwork with modern production technology.
Why Turkish suits are so popular
- Tailoring expertise: experienced cutters and finishers, with details such as hand stitching on lapels and pockets.
- Modern cuts: many Turkish suits follow an Italian cut — slimmer shoulders, a shaped waist and a shorter jacket.
- Fabric choice: access to fine Turkish, Italian and English cloths, including breathable stretch fabrics.
- Value: strong quality for the price compared with many imported European labels.
Turkish suits at LORD
Many LORD suits are made and crafted in Turkey with advanced bespoke technology and designed specially for LORD. Typical details include an Italian cut, peak lapels, handmade stitching, original flap pockets and a double-lycra breathable fabric technique for comfort. LORD also has a store in Istanbul, alongside its branches in Cairo, Mansoura and New Damietta.
How to choose a Turkish suit
- Start with the cut: Italian cut for a sharp, modern silhouette; classic for a more relaxed fit; double-breasted for a bold look.
- Check the shoulders: the seam should end where your shoulder ends — see our suit fit checklist.
- Feel the fabric: it should recover when crushed and drape smoothly.
- Look at the finishing: neat buttonholes, clean lining and even stitching.
Turkish vs Italian suits
The difference is mostly about where the suit is made rather than the style. Italian-made suits often carry a premium for the label, while Turkish suits frequently use the same Italian-inspired cuts and similar fabrics at a more accessible price.
