Alphaiate

Custom suits in Portuguese tradition.

Whether you wear a suit out of necessity or choice, Portugal still offers very high quality at reasonably affordable prices. It’s optimal if you’re traveling in the far north of the country, as Lisbon is not quite as economical. Regardless, Alphaiate is undoubtedly the go-to place for perfect suits for any occasion. Book an appointment online, get measured and fitted in-store, and swipe your credit card — two-piece suits start at around 800 euros, three-piece suits at just under a thousand euros. If you won’t be in the country for four weeks until the piece is finished, you can press them by mentioning a wedding or some other urgent event, or take the minor risk of having the masterpiece shipped home. In the worst-case scenario, your local tailor might need to make a few adjustments.
