When clients contact us online to order a suit––or make an appointment to meet with us about a suit here in our workshop in Denver, Colorado––one of the first questions we ask is, “Do you want a vest?” Around 75% of our clients answer “Yes.” Part of this is just the fact that most shops […]

This is a round-collar Victorian Vest that we developed awhile back. Like many of our styles, the vest has a very distinctive look that is historically informed and yet (worn with the right outfit) quite modern. The other pictures show the vest with a double-breasted suit that we tailored for a vaudevillian wedding on an […]
