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 […]

Famous Greatcoats and Trenchcoats

We love to make full length overcoats and trench coats. Because let's face it, the coat you buy at the store is barely a coat---it just looks like one. The fabric is too lightweight.

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 […]

Steampunk Wedding Attire

The Victorian era was an age of excitement, experimentation, science, and progress. Everything seemed possible and imminent.   The material world was like a door about to be unlocked.  The mind was a mystery that science could pry into. We love to make steampunk clothing because it represents this moment and uncovers the analogies between […]
