Our
Process

Since 1929, we have been Chicago’s leading Custom Tailor – handcrafting garments of distinction – in our own downtown shop – for the area’s most discriminating men and women. Our approach is decidedly “old fashioned” – no offshore production or internet guesswork. Instead, we offer the sensible advice of seasoned clothing professionals and authentic, quality workmanship.

A pattern is created for each client by our staff – based on personal measurements and style preferences that are recorded in great detail. Multiple fittings with our hands-on tailors ensure a perfect delivery. Every garment is meticulously cut, sewn and finished to fit comfortably, wear well and look great!

Our in-house staff of European Master Tailors has over 200 years of combined experience in the pursuit of sartorial splendor. Nowhere in Chicago is this level of craftsmanship available to create a personal wardrobe. The result? Clothing of integrity that embodies the good taste and success of its owner.
