Surmesur is a Canadian custom menswear retailer specializing in made-to-measure clothing. Founded by brothers Vincent and François Thériault in 2010, the company is headquartered in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Surmesur combines traditional tailoring with technology.
History
The idea for Surmesur originated from diverse trips the brothers took around Asia and South America. The accessibility of custom clothing in many countries inspired them. They started the company in 2010.
The first showroom opened in Quebec City. By 2013, Surmesur expanded into Montreal and Toronto.
In 2016, the company launched its first U.S. store in Chicago, followed by Pittsburgh. In 2017, they introduced an augmented reality (AR) fitting experience in the Pittsburgh showroom, allowing clients to visualize their garments before production.
Surmesur operates showrooms in Ottawa, Laval, Mississauga, Waterloo, and Vancouver, with on-the-road services in Mexico.
In 2024, Surmesur became a suit provider for the NHL Coaches’ Association.
Business Model
Surmesur operates through a showroom-based, appointment-only model. Clients work with style consultants to create custom garments using a proprietary software. Clients can choose from an array of fabrics, patterns, and customization options, such as collars, cuffs, and monograms. Finalized designs are sent to manufacturing facilities, and finished products are delivered within 4-6 weeks.
COVID-19 Pandemic
During the pandemic, Surmesur pivoted its operations to include the production of medical masks and gowns, addressing supply shortages. This effort secured a $255 million contract with the Québec government.
Vincent and François Thériault co-authored Made-To-Deliver: An inspiring entrepreneurial story of boldness and resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic, alongside Elise Paradis.
Community Engagement
In 2023, Surmesur launched the 104 Foundation, aimed at fostering youth entrepreneurship and supporting local charities in Québec.
