Ron & Rich

Ron & Rich has been crafting bespoke men’s garments for 46 years. Now, second-generation tailor Aaron is leading the Singapore-based brand forward with a fresh perspective after taking over the family business from his dad, the founder and master tailor, over five years ago.

Having grown up around the shop, Aaron is passionate about marrying classic tailoring with contemporary sensibilities. From bespoke wedding suits and sharp business suits to tuxedos in Singapore and dinner jackets for the modern man, each garment is custom-cut to complement the client’s unique body shape and posture. Clients can choose from a curated selection of premium European fabrics from the likes of Scabal, Loro Piana, Dormeuil, Ermenegildo Zegna, Ariston and Holland & Sherry, to name a few.

Ron & Rich also offers a collection of organic linen fabrics in 11 vibrant colours. These fabrics are lightweight and breezy yet also substantial enough to drape beautifully for a relaxed, casual fit. Aaron suggests lightertoned linens like the Shell or Aquamarine for a laid-back beach day or a casual Sunday brunch. For evenings, he recommends darker shades such as Forest Green and Dark Navy. Accessories like a good pair of sunglasses and a Panama hat cap off the look.

Another focus of the brand is a commitment to research and innovation. All products are crafted by a skilled in-house team, who draw inspiration from classic menswear as well as streetwear for their unique house styles. The result is tailored contemporary designs with a dash of personality.

Marking a new chapter, Ron & Rich recently moved into a plush new space on Tras Street, featuring two consultation rooms. Here, customers can find a new ready-to-wear section that features the brand’s tropical-inspired pieces, plus elegant Loro Piana trousers, its own Italian-made pocket squares and ties, and more. Stay tuned – jewellery items like cufflinks and rings are set to join the lineup soon.
