Tailor Made Suits Hobart
Looking to buy a suit in Hobart? You’ve found the spot. Nestled in the heart of the city, Oscar Hunt brings a fresh take on tailoring to Tasmania
Set among Hobart’s historic charm and thriving local culture, the space reflects what we do best, offering luxury that is down to earth, where heritage tailoring meets relaxed, modern Australian style.
Made-to-measure suiting for a local lifestyle
Specialising in made-to-measure, Oscar Hunt specialises in making premium suits that are designed for the contemporary Australian lifestyle. Doing away with heavy constructions that lean towards the sweltering, we focus on creating mens suits for Hobart, Tasmania – suits that are going to fit in with you and your day-to-day.
Whether you’re after a suit with a bit more weight to handle Hobart’s cooler months, a blazer that won’t crumple during domestic travel or a new addition to a growing wardrobe, let’s collaborate and create the perfect piece for you.
Your one-stop shop for business suits in Hobart
At Oscar Hunt Hobart, we believe dressing for work shouldn’t be a chore, it should be something you enjoy. A moment to express your style and ease into the day feeling confident. That same mindset shapes how we work with you: relaxed, collaborative, and always focused on creating pieces that suit both your lifestyle and the rhythm of Hobart life.
Underpinned by a distinct appreciation for Australian style, we steer away from the heavier, British style of corporate suiting in favour of something that, while maintaining its polish, will be comfortable to wear for your lifestyle.
You’ll see this come through in our lighter, half-canvas construction that, while offering definition and shape, also maintains breathability and allows the garment to mould to you over time without ever feeling overly stiff.
Our team are aficionados when it comes to selecting the right fabric for you. We work with some of the finest cloth manufacturers in the world and have a wide selection ranging from more durable, hard-wearing fabrics to fine occasional varieties. How and where you wear your suit matters, and in Hobart, that can mean dressing for everything from sharp winter mornings to more laid-back afternoons. That’s where we come in. We’ll guide you toward the right fabric and finish to suit your lifestyle, ensuring your custom piece not only fits perfectly but holds its own for years to come.
Shopping for women’s suits in Hobart
For too long, Australian women have had to make do with off-the-rack as the only suiting option available to them. Notoriously boxy and unflattering to many, especially anyone who doesn't look like a mannequin, it’s enough to make women do away with suits altogether.
Thankfully, the women’s tailoring landscape has evolved significantly in the past few years and here at Oscar Hunt, we’re proud to be leading the charge.
Our women’s made-to-measure offering in Hobart was shaped by the women on our own team, crafted with insight, intention, and a deep understanding of what great tailoring should feel like. The result? Pieces that strike an effortless balance between form and function, comfort and style.
Crafted to both your body shape and lifestyle, these are garments that are made to move.
To walk the walk, we conduct a comprehensive series of measurements as well as consult you about how you are likely to wear your garment. For example, if you’re often on the go, our team of fitters might recommend adding a sliver of extra room around the torso so you can move freely. Alternatively, if you favour flats, we might suggest a more cropped style of trousers.
Whatever your tailoring needs, our appointments are designed to ensure that you curate a piece that fits perfectly, makes you feel confident and prioritises seamless comfort above all else.
Wedding suits in Hobart: a one-of-a-kind wedding service
In addition to our everyday products, Oscar Hunt also offers a specialised wedding suit service.
Along with fittings for the groom and the wedding party, we pride ourselves on creating a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that takes all the stress out of the pre-wedding preparation.
This experience generally starts with an informal conversation where we get a sense of what you’re looking for, the venue, the dress code and the overarching style of the big day. These details help us tighten the brief and present you with the most relevant options.
We welcome you to bring along friends, partners, or even that opinionated in-law. Whoever you want by your side. It’s a collaborative process, and the more comfortable you feel, the better the outcome. And if you’re not quite sure what you’re after, that’s more than fine. Our team in Hobart has helped many clients design their wedding suits from the ground up, we’re here to guide you as much or as little as you like.
From there, it’s about creating something that feels unmistakably like you, relaxed, personal, and made with care. Whether you’re getting married, refining your work wardrobe, or simply looking for a better fit, our team in Hobart is here to guide you through the process.
We work with people at all stages of life: from those after a standout wedding look, to clients seeking everyday suiting that doesn’t compromise on comfort or style. And for women who are tired of the boxy, off-the-rack experience, we offer a more refined approach — tailoring that moves with you, feels considered, and is shaped to your lifestyle.
We know Hobart calls for a suit that’s adaptable, warm enough for the cooler months, breathable enough for those in-between days, and versatile enough to suit a wide range of occasions. That’s why we focus on smart construction and fabrics that feel good from day one and only get better with time.
No matter the brief, we’re here to help you build a wardrobe of pieces that feel sharp, functional, and entirely your own.
A casual suit tailor in Hobart
Don’t be fooled into thinking that we only cater to the more formal end of the spectrum when it comes to tailor made suits in Hobart. We also offer more casual options that can span occasions as diverse as casual work settings to relaxed dinners with friends.
We have an extensive selection of more relaxed suiting, crafted from fabrics like linen, cotton and seersucker with a half-lining. These pair easily with either a button-down or t-shirt, and are the perfect in-betweener if you’re looking for a versatile piece that can be dressed up for a cocktail event and just as easily dressed down.
If you’re leaning to the more casual end, we recommend doubling down on the style by pairing the suit with a pair of plain white low-top sneakers or a pair of loafers such as those we stock from Baudoin & Lange.
Beyond two-piece suiting, there’s also a world of options made up of custom separates. Blazers are becoming an increasingly common element in wardrobes and are an easy way of dressing up a more casual look. Because this is a stand-alone piece, it can also be an opportunity to experiment with colour and pattern. Some of our favourite styles of blazer feature a window-pane or Prince of Wales check and look just at home over a pair of jeans as they do over chinos.
And speaking of chinos, why settle for off-the-rack?
Our made-to-measure solution ensures that any stylistic or fit preferences you have are well and truly catered for. Examples of customisations include the addition of a cuff, the rise of the chinos themselves and the taper of the leg.
In addition to offering the best tailored suits in Hobart, we also offer a limited collection of ready-to-wear pieces including accessories and some casual garments. In the event you’re in the market for one of these pieces, give us a call so can have stock for you to try.
After visiting?
Following your appointment with our team (one of the finest suit tailors in Hobart, if you ask us) chances are you’ll be in need of bite to eat and a celebratory drink. Here’s our team’s pick of local spots worth checking out:
Eat
Ogee in North Hobart is where modern Italian dining meets moody, wine-bar intimacy. With handmade pasta, clever seasonal dishes, and a sharp wine list that leans local and low-intervention, it’s the kind of place that feels like a secret... until you realise everyone cool already knows.
Drink
The Shipwrights Arms, or "Shippies" if you’re local, is a proper pub in the best sense, no frills, just cold beer, warm banter, and a lived-in charm that’s hard to fake. Tucked in Battery Point, it’s the kind of spot where tradies and old sea dogs share the bar with travellers and locals chasing a pint with character.
