Workhouse is proud to release the first of our Resident Profiles. Every week we will be featuring one of our members and how they got to where they are now. For our first week, we have the ever sharp looking co-founder ofEdit Suits Co., Patrick Jungo.

Before Patrick joined Edit Suits Co., he spent seven years in investment banking based in London. While there, he realised the trouble busy professionals had to go through to acquire quality menswear. However, when travelling through Asia, it became clear that tailoring is quite affordable in Asian cities and most working professionals choose to tailor their business attire rather than overpaying for branded off-the-rack clothes with poor fits.

“I’ve seen how accessible custom menswear is in Asia but the options in Europe are really limited,” Patrick says. Realising a gap in the market and his interest to take on an entrepreneurial opportunity, he joined Reto Peter as Co-Founder at Edit Suits Co. with a mission, “to make shopping for menswear conveniently accessible, worldwide.”

Leveraging on technology, Edit Suits Co. has managed to provide a high standard of service and convenience to their customers. Their mobile outfitters meet customers at their office or home, or at the showroom at Workhouse. Customers are presented with hundreds of fabrics, measurements are taken on the spot, and the finished garments are delivered within 2 - 3 weeks. The measurements and customisations for each customer are saved in their online profile, so future reorders are just a few clicks away.

With such impeccable service, the success of Edit Suits Co. is no surprise. “We are making good progress in London and Singapore and we are soon preparing our expansion in other international markets,” shares Patrick.

Previously, the company was based in Pasir Panjang, operating out of a warehouse which provided a bigger space but it was a little outside of town.
