Legendary Vegan Suits

The traditional heritage tailored suit is almost entirely made from animal products----from the wool of the main fabric to the silk thread and detailing.  The buttons are made from buffalo horn or shell and the interior canvas is made from goat hair.

The Future of American Sportswear

In the United States, we tend to call the best business and formal looks and fits “European” or “Italian” or “British,”–sometimes for good reason, and sometimes merely as a shorthand for saying that a look is “good” or “exciting” or somehow intangibly different from the basic relaxed New England look that we are used to […]

Jean-Fit Dress Pants

I love traditional tailoring. But traditional tailoring can mean a lot of different things on different occasions. Clients often ask me, “What do you wear?”  And my answer tends to be, “Well, I have a very interesting sort of job.” I meet with clients—where it is expected that I look as well dressed as possible.

Custom 1920s Style Vests

We are famous for our 1920s style vests. The 1920s were a high point for waistcoats. The vests of the period contain all of the classic details that would become more codified in the 1930s. But in this earlier period there is still a wonderful flexibility and richness in style.

Plaid Sport Suits and Jackets

For daytime outdoor wear, plaid is supreme. Whether you are at a wedding, the museum, or just headed out for brunch with your friends, a plaid sport coat or vest is ideal. The look is much less uptight than an evening look in black, and much less of a purely “business” look than navy. Because […]

Retro and Mod Suits–Custom Tailored

Every suit that we make is unique and made for an individual client. We don’t have 5 or 10 or even 500 designs.   For every suit that we make, we start with the client and his own sense of style. We ask him where he will wear the piece. How often he will wear […]

1909 Bespoke–Custom Tailored Retro Style Suits

Our completely custom line of suits–which are individually handmade to order right here in our studio in Denver, Colorado–often have a vintage flair to them. Philosophically, our suits hark back to what we consider to be the most interesting period for men’s dress—the period between 1907 and 1921–when many of the distinctive looks of modern […]

Custom Vests Handmade in Any Style

Waistcoats (or "vests" in good American English) haven't been this in style for decades. Perhaps the recession made us all a bit more serious, and many of the guys out there who hoped to be boys forever decided to grow up. Or perhaps we all just decided to think a bit more about history and a bit less about what was new, when future prospects seemed to dim.

Tropical Wool Suits

"Tropical Wool." The whole idea boggles the mind of those new to the world of fine menswear. An oxymoron, surely? Customers come to us with only one thing that they are certain of: They do not want wool suits. No one would recommend a wool suit for a wedding in July in the deep South, would they?

Jacket Lapels

Lapel Styles Lapels on a suit coat are supremely non-functional.  One could, indeed, do without them entirely without changing the function of the suit in any way. But fashion begins to grow rich and strange at the very moment that function stops.  Indeed one might best think of a lapel as a type of “fetish.”  […]
