We are one of the few makers of bespoke tailcoats in the world. With tailcoats such as these, made for weddings, we send the customers muslin mock-up of the tailcoats, vests, and pants in advance. And only then, after we have feedback and pictures, do we make the final patterns and cut the fabrics. We made each of these ensembles. One from tropical wool and one from linen.

Introducing the Space Tuxedo. . . . Cut from linen with a silk cravat and leather vest, this is what your great great great grandson will wear should he get married on an agricultural planet in the year 2240. The sleeveless jacket has quilted padding on the front for operating nuclear tractors or firing a […]

This in a linen suit that stands out in the crowd. Think 007 arriving late for a semi-formal luncheon. . . by parachute.

Our hat obsession has been heating up lately. So these are likely the first of many hat styles that you will see on here as samples of our custom work. (Silk top hats will be next)! The beauty part of having us make a hat for you is that we can use the exact same […]

For someone who makes custom suits for a living, I am a fairly casual guy. When I wear a blazer or suit, it is usually because I have been asked out to dinner, have important business, or it is a special occasion. But I did make the decision some years back to throw away all […]

We can make tailcoats for women as well, and as with our men's tailcoats, we can pretty much do anything that you might be looking for. For some of our custom tails, we have appliqued strange images, from vinyl insects to Victorian floral cottons.

It is hard to think of anything more classic than getting married in a 3-piece tweed herringbone suit. The blonde herringbone suit that you see here was designed for a customer who wanted to flavor his wedding with a bit of the old West. In particular, he wondered whether we couldn’t make him a suit […]
