Hockerty’s New Travel Suit Brings Performance Technology to Tailored Menswear

For frequent travelers, packing a tailored suit has always required compromise. Wrinkles, unexpected weather, and expensive dry-cleaning bills often come with the territory. Hockerty is looking to change that with its new Travel Suit, a made-to-measure collection designed for modern professionals who spend as much time in airports and boardrooms as they do at home. Combining performance fabric with custom tailoring, the Travel Line introduces a suit that resists creasing, repels water and stains, stretches comfortably throughout the day, and can even be machine washed, all while maintaining the refined appearance expected of luxury menswear. Unlike traditional made-to-measure tailoring, Hockerty’s process relies on a digital body profile rather than tape measurements. Customers simply provide their height, weight, and age to generate a personalized 360-degree avatar, allowing garments to be cut specifically for their proportions. A Virtual Try-On feature lets shoppers preview the finished look before production begins, while the company’s Perfect Fit Guarantee covers any necessary alterations or, if needed, a complete remake. According to Teresa Marco, Product Manager at Hockerty, the collection was designed with today’s traveler in mind. “A suit should adapt to life on the move, not the other way around. With our new Travel Line, we wanted to create pieces that seamlessly blend comfort, low maintenance, and true tailoring.” The collection is crafted from a technical blend of 90 percent nylon and 10 percent elastane, creating a lightweight fabric that offers four-way stretch while remaining breathable during long travel days. The material is engineered to shed rain and resist stains, making it especially practical for business trips where versatility matters. Perhaps the Travel Suit’s most compelling feature is its wrinkle resistance. Rather than requiring steaming or ironing after being packed, the suit naturally releases creases within minutes of being hung, making it an attractive option for travelers moving quickly between destinations. The garment’s construction also reflects its focus on comfort. The blazer is intentionally designed without traditional shoulder pads or heavy lining, creating a softer silhouette that moves more naturally with the body. Matching trousers feature a discreet crotch gusset for additional mobility, making long flights, meetings, and commutes considerably more comfortable than conventional tailoring. Rather than offering a single suit configuration, Hockerty has developed the Travel Line as a modular wardrobe. Blazers and trousers are available separately or as complete suits in five coordinating colors, allowing travelers to mix and match pieces across multiple outfits while packing less. The launch also reflects a broader shift in luxury menswear toward garments that balance craftsmanship with everyday practicality. As hybrid work, international business travel, and minimalist wardrobes continue to influence buying habits, consumers are increasingly seeking clothing that performs as well as it looks. Founded in 2008, Hockerty has built its reputation by bringing made-to-measure tailoring online through a technology-driven platform that combines customization with traditional craftsmanship. With teams based in Zurich, Barcelona, and Shanghai, the company continues to focus on personalized menswear while promoting a more intentional approach to fashion, encouraging customers to invest in fewer, higher-quality garments designed to last. For travelers who refuse to sacrifice tailored style for convenience, Hockerty’s latest collection offers a compelling argument that performance apparel and bespoke suiting no longer have to exist in separate wardrobes.
