tailored suit

Fitted business attire

A tailored suit is a suit custom-fitted to the wearer's measurements, as opposed to one bought off the rack.

The term emphasizes the craft of fitting—darts taken in, shoulders adjusted, trouser length hemmed: He looked sharp in a tailored suit.

More loosely, it can describe any well-fitted suit, even if only altered rather than made from scratch.
