What to know about Tiger of Sweden
Built on making suits accessible
Founded in 1903 in Uddevalla, it pioneered ready-to-wear tailoring in Sweden and sold suits beyond the wealthy elite — that democratic tailoring remains the core of the range.
Slim cuts, muted Nordic palette
Expect slim single- and double-breasted suits, blazers and mix-and-match separates in restrained Scandinavian colours rather than heavy British or Italian tailoring cues.
A full wardrobe, not just suiting
Alongside tailoring it carries dress shirts, knitwear, denim and outerwear for men and women, sold through its own Nordic stores, e-commerce and multibrand retailers.
How Tiger of Sweden fits
Overall fit
runs small
Tiger of Sweden generally runs slim and lean in classic European tailoring style, so many find pieces fit trimmer than expected, especially in the chest and shoulders.
Tip: Consider sizing up if you're broad or between sizes, as the slim Scandinavian tailoring can feel snug.
