The Black Suit: Considered Beyond Funerals
The black suit has a complicated reputation in contemporary menswear. For decades, it was the suit a man owned for funerals — a single piece in the closet that came out only for sad occasions and was otherwise treated as too somber for ordinary wear. The recommendation in most menswear writing is to skip the black suit entirely and choose a charcoal or navy as the foundational dark suit.
The Showroom in Beverly Hills: Rodeo Drive
Our Beverly Hills showroom sits on South Rodeo Drive, in a building whose neighbors include the most established luxury houses in American retail. The choice of address was deliberate. A custom tailoring house that operates in Los Angeles needs to be where the city's most discerning clients already shop, and Rodeo Drive remains the address that gathers those clients in one block.

The trousers are the foundation, and they deserve more attention than they typically receive.
