Your capsule wardrobe dreams just got a serious upgrade with custom pieces that redefine what basics can be. Instead of filling your closet with fast fashion that fades, we're crafting sustainable luxury separates that mix, match, and make magic for years to come. Start with a bespoke blazer that works as hard as you do, add custom trousers that feel like pajamas but look like a million bucks, then layer in premium basics like tailored shirts and versatile vests. Our expert tailors create each sustainable capsule piece with intention - from high-end blazers that transition from boardroom boss to weekend warrior, to eco-friendly separates that play well with others while standing strong on their own. Choose from premium Italian wools that last forever, innovative bamboo fabrics that breathe with you, or sustainable materials that feel good on your conscience and your skin. Because building the perfect wardrobe isn't about having more - it's about having exactly what you need, made exactly for you.
The promise of custom attire begins with understanding that no two bodies are alike. At The Tailory New York, we take over 40 unique measurements, noting everything from shoulder slope to natural waist position, creating a complete picture of your unique physique. But our process goes deeper – we observe how you move, how you carry yourself, and discuss the subtle fit preferences that make a garment feel truly yours. Whether you prefer a closer fit in the arms or extra room across the back, we build each piece around your specific needs.
This attention to detail is our promise to you. Every custom garment is crafted with multiple fittings to ensure perfection, and we're here for alterations as your body or preferences change. From the angle of a lapel to the depth of a pocket, from the curve of a sleeve to the drape of a trouser, each element is thoughtfully engineered to work in harmony with your body. Because true luxury isn't just about wearing custom clothing – it's about wearing clothing that's customized to the way you live.
Gender expression is as unique as your fingerprint - why should your wardrobe be any different? At The Tailory New York, we believe custom clothing should be about celebrating your authentic self, not conforming to someone else's definition of gender. Store-bought pieces force you to choose between limited binary options, but your identity deserves to be wrapped in luxury - from buttery-soft Italian wools to flowing silk blends that feel like wearing clouds.
True custom clothing starts with understanding that gender expression exists on a spectrum as vast as the stars. We create bespoke pieces that honor your unique vision of self - whether that means blending traditionally masculine and feminine elements, crafting entirely new silhouettes that feel true to you, or reimagining classic pieces through your personal lens. Choose from our curated collection of sustainable bamboo fabrics, ethically sourced wools, and innovative materials that elevate every design. From the curve of a lapel to the drape of a sleeve, from the structure of a shoulder to the flow of a hem, every detail is carefully considered to reflect your identity. Because your wardrobe shouldn't just fit your body - it should fit your soul.

DESIGN TIME
We value our one-on-one time with our clients as we explore the design process, which includes fabric selections, vision, silhouettes, and body type.
PROPER MEASURE
Every piece we create is custom-tailored to perfection. Our meticulous process involves taking over 35 body measurements, analyzing your posture, and, if needed, measuring existing garments for the most precise fit.
For virtual clients, we have partnered with one of the world's leading fit technology platforms created at Stanford University to ensure impeccable fit and design throughout the virtual process.
THE TIMELINE
Your bespoke garment typically takes 10-12 weeks to create. Opting for a Mustline fitting adds 4-6 weeks to this timeline. Alterations generally require 2 weeks. Final fittings are held at our exclusive Soho atelier. For those with tighter schedules, rush services are available. Virtual clients receive priority shipping for remote fittings, with a convenient return label for alterations.
Final Fit
We believe in a meticulous approach to bespoke tailoring, often requiring multiple fittings. That said, our experienced team frequently delivers a flawless fit in just one fitting, making the process efficient and personalized.
I was searching for a designer who could deliver beyond the typical wedding suit, and I found exactly that in Shao and her team.From start to finish, the experience was truly collaborative. The brief was to design a suit for our big night of the reception. BUT, it also had to be built to withstand the sweaty dance party that would take place. Shao took the time to listen to my vision and meticulously crafted every detail to ensure the suit would not only meet but exceed expectations.The suit itself was a work of art, incorporating a unique pattern that paid homage to my Mexican American heritage. The attention to detail was exceptional—from the custom silver buttons to the stunning oversized white rose brooch, which beautifully represented the white rose of Yorkshire symbolizing my wife’s background. Each element was thoughtfully designed to surprise and delight, making the suit a perfect blend of our stories and styles.If you’re looking for a tailor who combines creativity, personalization, and a deep understanding of individual tastes, Shao is the one to choose. I’ll never forget how special I felt wearing that suit and look forward to working with The Tailory again in the future.
There are no words that can articulate the level of appreciation I have for the Tailory.They were so thoughtful in supporting the design, fabric selection, fitting, and everything else. They always provided their professional opinion and recommendation without pressuring or being overbearing. The entire team was LOVELY, I have absolutely nothing but the best things to say and peaches is so cute!!!!This suit made me feel badass, amazing, chic - everything I wanted and more. I am so grateful for your beautiful hard work. Thank you - you helped create a memory I will never forget.
This is an amazing place!! When I first walked the vibe it gave me was cozy professional. I was greeted at the door and later as I came back for fittings greeted at the elevator. Working with shao and all the staff members really made me felt confident and excited in the final results of the suit. Shao was really professional as well as artistic. When we had our 2nd meeting with her going over the design she was realistic but helped us in vision how the suit would look like in the end. I never would have imagined that when we walked in we would be given a blank canvas with which we could create whatever came to our mind. The options in suit color, pattern, designs, beading, and cut really makes this a custom suit a one of one. The freedom of creativity and whatever you in vision really makes this place unique. We will be back for more pieces in the future!!
My wife and I first got in touch with The Tailory for a very specific request, which was to see if it was possible to include a qi pao (a traditional Chinese dress) in a suit. To our delight, the answer was yes! We worked with them to create this suit for our wedding, and the process was so smooth and easy! The staff was friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful in narrowing down all of the options to choose from (there's a lot). When I wasn't quite sure what I wanted, they were patient and asked questions to help me figure out my vision.In the process of creating my suit, my wife needed to have alterations done to their dress, and The Tailory offered to take that on as well! The attention and time they gave us for both the dress and suit is something to behold. My wife and I are so grateful to have chosen to work with them. We absolutely love the finished products, and the both of us received endless compliments for our outfits on our wedding day. We highly recommend them! Top notch quality and service.
They gave me an awesome, custom fitted suit in green to use for a special event in rush order. The suit fits great and will be great to use all year long. I will definitely come back to them in the future because their color and fabric selection is better than any other place I looked for in the city. Greatly appreciate their hospitality while in the space as well. The entire experience is dedicated to you.
I had never had a custom garment made for me before, but I will certainly have another suit made by The Tailory NYC in the future. When my wife and I found this woman owned business on Instagram, we hoped it would be an affirming experience to work with them for the suit I would where on our wedding day, and it certainly was! Silke took the time to understand what we wanted and who we were in our first consultation and gave us so many great options for materials to make my suit perfect for me. They stuck to their word on timelines throughout the process and kept us informed each step of the way. Highly recommend! Photos included taken by photographer Emily April Allen
The Tailory helped me design the long JACKET & CAPE of my dreams for my wedding! I never liked wearing dresses, and when I fell upon this company, looking for a femme/masculine/edgy style, I knew I had to pursue them to help me create the look I desired, from the custom jumpsuit and long jacket WITH SPIKES and bling! My wife was obsessed with it upon our first look and my outfit was the TALK of the night and MOST anticipated from our guests! Everyone LOVED my look and it truly reflected me and my style! Highly recommended!!!
I can't speak highly enough about my entire experience working with the Tailory. I wanted to get a custom suit for my wedding and really wanted to go somewhere that valued androgyny and the queer community. I had no idea what I was doing, but I knew I wanted something unique and sharp and the Tailory seemed to really stand out.In my consultation, led by the manager Silke (who is absolutely amazing), I gained a new appreciation for the true artistry that goes into making a custom suit. Silke took me through every detail and helped me make fashionable choices as I put the pieces together. I was grateful to have Silke's guidance because I can be kind of square and she pushed me to think bigger about my big day.After we put together the suit, the rest of the process was seamless. I had a few fittings where the Tailor really took care to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. The attention to detail, active listening and collaboration was really special.In the end I came away with a suit better than I had ever imagined. It was everything I wanted and (don't tell my wife) it really stole the show. I got so many compliments and more importantly I felt confident in how I looked. I spent the night dancing and having a blast and it held up strong. The best part is, I can definitely wear it again. The worst part is, now I can't stop thinking about what my next suit will be - its a dangerous habit to pick up! But I'm totally obsessed and would absolutely recommend the Tailory for any special occasion - or just a nice new suit! In fact, I already sent a friend who got their wedding suit there and she is another very happy customer.

The idea for The Tailory New York began when I decided to direct my years of fashion design and men’s tailoring experience towards my own wardrobe. As a pantsuit aficionado and a lover of men’s fashion and tailoring, I was always drawn to tailored clothing and strived to create fashion that conveyed the same messages of confidence that a perfectly custom tailored suit did for men.
Style icons like Sean Connery and Cary Grant, as well as modern day 007 Daniel Craig (shaken not stirred) were always my style inspirations. To me, they are the epitome of refinement and sophistication, true gentlemen in style. My passion for fashion and tailoring led me through the Fashion Design program at Parsons followed by stints in custom tailoring, fashion design, fashion styling and brand development. But the more I integrated myself in the industry, the more I realized that impeccable fit, for men and women, was almost impossible to find in ready to wear clothing.
So in 2013, I launched The Tailory New York as a way for me to combine my two passions: Fashion Design and Custom Tailoring. Everyone wants to look their best and having a wardrobe curated to your body and lifestyle not only enables you to look your best but makes you feel your best. At The Tailory New York, “we believe that your wardrobe should not only fit perfectly but should be designed with only YOU in mind.” Providing personally designed, fitted, and curated collections for each individual client is the essence of who we are. Let us custom design the wardrobe fit for you!

Custom Clothing That Affirms you
When designing a custom garment, we always ask ourselves: who is the wearer, and where will they be wearing their custom clothing? What are they trying to communicate to the world around them? And how can we create a custom garment tailored to their unique style, physique, and gender identity and/or presentation? We have created a safe space for our clients to express themselves freely, and create custom suits that affirms them allowing them to be their true authentic selves.
