Most of the embroidered suits we make are embroidered entirely by hand, with 60 hours of chain and blanketstitch embroidery and hundreds of Swarovski crystals.  The result is that our pieces look and feel incredibly natural in comparison to pieces embroidered by machine.

A tougher, thinner, denser sort of leather. Mid-century leather jackets, including the original motorcycle jackets, were as often made from horsehide as cow, goat, lamb and other leathers. Horsehide has the advantage of being incredibly tough and dense. 

Perhaps no one style more fully embodies the heritage of American tailoring than the shirt jacket. And perhaps no piece is harder to find today in a fully custom version that is made in a long lasting heavyweight wool cloth.

There is nothing harder than trying to describe true bespoke clothing to a perspective client today. The market is saturated with factory made goods that are somewhat customizable in color and fit, but have nothing to do with the art of tailoring.

We are famous for being the only tailoring house in the United States to make suits in radically interesting fabrics. Sure your average made-to-measure house might have a couple bolder choices in their collections.  But floral prints, iridescent silks?  Not so much.

When it comes to wool fabrics, no type of fabric represents menswear heritage like tweed: Classic weaves like herringbones, and houndstooth.  Flecked Irish Donegal yarns with so many colors.  Estate plaids and hunting thornproof. These fabrics are part of an ancient tradition that dates back over 2,000 years in England, Scotland, and Ireland.
