Suit and Blazer Manufacturers in Turkey

Suits and blazers is the category of companies that make lined, structured tailored clothing from woven fabric: blazers, women’s and men’s tailored jackets, vests, men’s and women’s suits (jacket-and-pants or jacket-and-skirt sets), wedding suits and tuxedos. For wedding gowns, evening dresses and engagement dresses, see wedding and evening dresses; for denim jackets, see denim apparel; for seasonal products such as coats and padded jackets, see outerwear.

In the TOBB Industry Database, 677 of the 898 firms with a valid capacity report for women’s woven jackets and blazers (product code 14.13.33) and 426 of the 572 for men’s (14.13.23) are in Istanbul (October 2026). Suit codes are smaller: for men’s suits (14.13.22), 61 of 136 firms are in Istanbul and 17 in Izmir; for women’s suits (14.13.32), 95 of 176 are in Istanbul. Manufacturers lacking a capacity report are not reflected in the count.

Why a tailored jacket is a separate specialty

A tailored jacket joins the outer fabric to interlining, lining and, where needed, shoulder pads. The shrinkage and heat behavior of the layers must match, and an incompatible combination can spoil how the jacket hangs. For this reason a tailored jacket needs more operations, more intermediate pressing and more skilled pattern knowledge than a shirt or a simple pair of pants. Not every sewing workshop has tailoring experience: ask to see, on a sample, jackets the company has made before in comparable fabrics (wool blend, polyester-viscose, gabardine).

Ask a tailored jacket maker about pattern, fitting, interlining and pressing

• Pattern. Does the company prepare the pattern, or are pattern making and grading a separate job for a pattern house? Ask who owns the pattern and whether it will be handed over to you.
• Fitting. The shoulder, collar and lapel of a jacket can only be judged on a body. On a new pattern the first fitting may not be approved, so agree in advance on which size the fitting is made and what additional fittings cost. For the names of the sample stages, see proto, fit and PP samples.
• Interlining and lining. Who chooses the interlining, and are there a machine and trials for fusing (fusing press)? See interlining types and selection.
• Pressing. Is there steam pressing equipment, and staff dedicated to this work, for intermediate pressing and final ironing?

Suit and blazer pricing: fabric, trims and pressing labor

Fabric type and consumption; trims such as interlining, lining, buttons and labels; pocket and collar construction; the number of operations in the jacket; pattern and fit rounds; and order quantity set the price. Intermediate pressing and final ironing can be a separate item from sewing labor, so ask for a separate line in the quote. In expensive fabrics such as wool blends, cutting wastage weighs more in the total cost; get the wastage allowance in writing.

Keep the first jacket order small and verify the hang against your measurements

Keep the first order small. At the sample and pre-production stages, check the hang, shoulder and collar against your own size chart, and state the tolerances for shoulder, chest, waist, length and sleeve separately. Write the quality-control method before shipment (measurement check, pressing and label inspection) into the contract. If the workshop cannot do everything itself, find out at the start which process it passes to whom.
