That's a tricky one. I guess it sort of means "it is that" if you take it super literally? "It is that I want to try on the suit." But in practice, it just adds a level of politeness and formality to the sentence.
You will hear a lot of masu (ます) and desu (です) tossed in there all over the place when people are trying to be courteous.
