A bespoke suit or blazer gives a man an edge, whether he’s closing a
deal for business or pleasure. Thankfully, you don’t have to fly to
London to shop on Savile Row to get tailor-made threads. Dallas has
myriad tailors waiting to mark you up, including that relative newcomer
Q Shirtmakers in West Village and those in the classic made-to-measure
departments at Neiman Marcus and Stanley Korshak. Choose from such
great design houses as Brioni, Oxxford, Lora Piana, and Hickey Freeman.
The details—fabrics, patterns, pockets, buttons, vents, lining, and
more—are up to you.
With
a custom suit, you get a flawless fit (which disguises physique flaws).
And once you’ve gone through the lengthy initial fitting process, your
next suit is just a phone call away. It’s well worth the time (six to
eight weeks) and cost (starting at $1,355), because bespoke lasts a
lifetime.
