Why Fabric Matters
The perfect piece starts with the perfect fabric.
At The Tailory New York, this isn't just a philosophy. It's the very foundation of how we approach bespoke tailoring. Before a single stitch is made, before measurements are taken or silhouettes discussed, there's fabric. And the fabric you choose will determine not only how your garment looks, but how it feels, how it moves, and how it endures.
In bespoke tailoring, fabric is where every story begins. It's the canvas that brings your vision to life, the material expression of quality and care. The difference between a good garment and an exceptional one often comes down to what it's made from. Superior textiles provide better drape, improved longevity, and a level of comfort that simply can't be replicated with lesser materials.
This is why we source only the finest textiles from mills and weavers across the globe. Our fabric library represents generations of textile expertise, each mill bringing its own heritage and specialization to the table.

Albini and Thomas Mason represent the gold standard in shirting. These crisp cottons bring timeless elegance to every dress shirt we create. The weave is tight, the hand is smooth, and the result is a shirt that looks sharp from morning meetings through evening events.
Vitale Barberis Canonico (now owned by Gladson) delivers timeless wool suitings that are both versatile and enduring. These are fabrics that work as hard as you do, maintaining their structure and appearance through countless wears while remaining remarkably comfortable.
Dormeuil brings modern luxury with distinctive textures and depth. Their innovative approach to weaving creates fabrics that catch the light beautifully and offer visual interest that elevates any silhouette.
And this is just the beginning. Our collection includes dozens of mills, each selected for their particular expertise and unwavering commitment to quality.
Why Bespoke
As a bespoke company, we take pride in sourcing fabrics from across the globe to ensure every client receives the perfect foundation for their custom piece. This means you're not limited to what's available off the rack or what a particular brand happens to be featuring this season. Instead, you have access to an entire world of textile possibilities.
Whether you're looking for a lightweight summer suiting, a robust winter overcoat fabric, or the perfect cotton for your everyday shirt rotation, we can source exactly what you need. The right fabric exists for every occasion, every climate, and every personal preference. Our job is to help you find it.
Where Your Story Begins
Every garment we create starts with a conversation about fabric. What do you need this piece to do? How do you want it to feel? What impression do you want to make? These questions guide us to the right textile, and from there, everything else follows naturally.
Because at The Tailory New York, we understand that the perfect piece doesn't start with cutting or sewing. It starts with the perfect fabric.
