Everything we make is hand-tailored right here in our Brooklyn factory, from your first visit to the day you take it home. Here's how it works.
First visit
Step 1: Styling your garment, fabrics and lining
Once you've booked an appointment and arrived at our factory, we start by understanding what you need, from a wedding tuxedo to everyday suiting, and then work with you to select the right fabric for the occasion. We look not just at color and weight but also at the finish and performance you prefer. We work most closely with Loro Piana, Taglia Delfino, Dormeuil, Holland & Sherry, Scabal and other top mills in Huddersfield and Biella.
We also help you choose linings to complement your clothing, whether you'd like them to blend in or stand out.
Step 2: Measurements
We learn about your style and preferred fit, trying on different garments to see how they look and how they feel, so we can decide together on the many custom details: shoulder definition, silhouette, fit, comfort, pocket style, button height, lapel width and style, vents, trouser closure and adjusters, leg taper, vest options and more.
We then measure you, including body measurements, balance and posture, and determine your garment measurements. Using our own process, we create a new pattern made only for you.
Second visit: your fitting, 4 to 6 weeks later
After your first visit, we order your fabrics and draft your pattern. Then we hand-tailor your clothing: fitting a full canvas into the jacket and making the pockets, armholes and collar by hand. Every pair of trousers has a full hand-sewn curtain for a cleaner line and more comfort.
About 4 to 6 weeks after your first visit, your clothing is ready for a fitting. Please bring the shoes and a tailored shirt you'll wear with it. Your garment will be about 90% finished, so we can see the look and fit before the buttonholes, sleeves and trouser hems are finished. We fine-tune the fit and decide the finishing details together: buttonhole placement, buttons, sleeve length and trouser length.
Final visit: pickup
About 10 days after your fitting, your clothing is ready to pick up, or we can ship it to you. We'll always welcome you back for a tweak or to mend a broken thread, because we want you to enjoy your clothing for years to come.
