Custom Clothing - It Begins with You
Being a swing dancer, Peter wanted a suit reminiscent of the 40s, so we created this double breasted model with high-waist Hollywood trousers and wide “stove pipe” legs. This silhouette is graceful, elegant and harkens back to style influencer Cary Grant.

FUNCTION & FABRIC
There’s nothing more iconic than a slim fitting black suit on a fellow jazz musician. Harkening back to the 60’s, this iconic look is understated elegance at its’ best. Let the music do the talking.
Fabric is the engine of a suit — it determines how well it functions. A fabric’s weight can keep you cool or warm you up. The texture can reflect light or invite touch. The fabric must be strong enough to withstand the trials of regular wear and comfortable enough to encourage wearing. It should maintain its shape in any environment and look sharp with a minimum of maintenance. Choosing the right fabric is the first step in crafting the perfect garment.
During your first fitting, we’ll review a wide range of suit and trouser fabrics that meet these exacting standards. We’ll also look through shirt fabrics in an ever-changing array of colors and weights, from elegant, traditional white cottons to brilliantly patterned blends that always remain wrinkle-free.
Measure Twice
Bodies are not buildings. We move. We grow (and shrink). Tailored clothing doesn’t just have to look good — it has to fit well and keep us comfortable.
During your first fitting, we’ll discuss your activities and determine what garments best accommodate the way you move. Do you play the drums? We’ll make sure your movement is easy and unrestricted. Want to show off the results of two years in the gym? We can tailor your clothes to enhance your sculpted physique. Whether we tailor to minimize imperfections or maximize movement, we’ll create clothes that are perfectly proportioned to your body and your life.
During your second fitting, we’ll ensure that the clothes have been produced to your specifications, then make any adjustments. At this fitting we'll also review the shirts, ties and accessories that complete the look.
Once tailoring is complete, we’ll assemble the entire ensemble. We can go through all of your options — from shoes to collar stays — and take photos of the full look. These pictures can serve as a reference later on, so you’ll always know the best way to mix and match shirts, pants, jackets and accessories. And, if you like, we can include your photos in our portfolio of Established clients.
The Devilish Details
By far the most interesting tuxedo we’ve ever been asked to create, the purple satin was tricky to find! However, this garment has gotten so much feedback and attention, we’re looking forward to seeing what else we can make!
The personality is in the details. The shape of the lapel can convey formality or modern sophistication. Colors speak their own language: charcoal grey pinstripes are the hallmark of conservative formality; cobalt blue conveys creativity and wit. A ticket pocket adds a fashionable note. Each facet of the design defines the character of a suit, and describes the man who wears it.
Details also improve wearability. Specialized waistband fabric can keep your shirt tucked in. Linings can improve shape and wearability or improve breathability. Suspender buttons provide a belt-less option, and strategically placed pockets allow us to carry our technological burdens with ease.
We’ll review all of these factors at the first fitting, diving into the details and ensuring that your custom clothing is the most comfortable, most functional clothing you’ve ever worn.
