How long does it take from the time I place my order to receive the clothing?
Delivery times can vary, but generally you will receive suits/sportcoats/pants within 4-6 weeks and shirts within 3-5 weeks.
What is your price range for custom suits? For custom shirts?
Custom suits start at $795, sport coats $595 and shirts $125. depending on the fabric and the level of handwork involved. Package pricing will allow you to get a better price for buying in multiples.

Do I have to be re-measured every time I place an order?
No. That is up to you. We have customers who place orders by phone and email without being re-measured
Can I schedule an on site visit with your master tailor in my home or office?
Absolutely. One of the most valuable services we provide is an on site tailoring service with our master tailor who can alter recent clothing purchases as well as any garments in your closet that need to be refitted, i.e… you’ve lost or gained weight.
How often do you have new fabric choices?
Twice per year we completely refresh our line with all new choices in each product category. Typically this corresponds with the Spring/Summer season (Jan-June) and the Fall/Winter season (July-December). We also receive fresh supplements throughout each season to keep the line full and fresh.
What is the proper number of suits to have in your wardrobe?
Good question—it depends a lot on how often your wear a suit. If you wear a suit everyday, a two week rotation would be a good minimum. If you wear a suit 1-2 times per week, you may be able to get by with less.
What is the proper number of business shirts to have in your wardrobe?
Again, this depends a lot on how often you are wearing them. If every day, a one month’s rotation (22-25) would be a nice amount, although there are plenty of people who have more and a number who have less.
How often should I dry clean my suits?
As little as possible. Ideally, no more than one time per quarter. Pressing your suits will take away the wrinkles as well as NOT subject your suits to all the chemicals from dry cleaning. Ultimately, too many dry cleanings will take the life out of your suits, giving them a very stiff, or lifeless, feel.
