Question 1

In-Person Commissions:

Are by Appointment Only - the Atelier is located in Midtown Manhattan across from the Empire State Building.
New Client Appointments: There is a $150 consultation fee which is put directly towards your commission when placed within 30 days
For Appointments at your Location (within NYC) there is an additional Travel Fee - which is not applied to commission.
Fittings: Most fully Bespoke projects take between 1-3 cotton Muslin Fittings.

Depending on our schedule:
Pants take 3-4 weeks in person, on average
Jackets take 4 to 8 weeks in person, on average
Actual time frame is completely dependent on client's schedule

Question 2

Long Distance Commissions:

Accepted Answer

I accept a limited number of Long Distance commissions each year.
I provide instructions and a chart. And I am happy to work with you via zoom.

Clients must be prepared to work with a 3rd party (tailor  preferred) to take appropriate measurements, photos, notes, etc.

Fittings: Muslin fittings are ALWAYS part of our process.  If you are not comfortable working with us on the fitting process (usually a series of photos and you may be asked to mark or pin adjustments) I do recommend coming to see me in-person at least once during the process.

We limit Long distance fittings to 3 muslins, which covers most garments. Additional fit muslins will cost extra.

The time frame on long distance commissions can vary tremendously. They require at least double the time an In-Person commission would require, and often more.

Due to the nature of our bespoke work, all Custom Commissions  are final sale. 
If the are are any changes that need to be made to a finished bespoke piece after it is completed, we charge an hourly alteration rate and for any additional materials if needed.

We also offer a small range of Made-to-Order styles. Ideal if you are within a standard size range. These style may be made of in the leather of your choice and many can accommodate fit adjustments like body and sleeve length. You will need to specify any fit adjustments before your style is cut.  Customized Made-to-Order Is Final Sale.

Ready-to-Ship Items are also available on the website - these are small runs & one-of-a-kind pieces that are in stock. They can be returned for Credit Only (within 7 days or receipt and in original condition).

All Shipping and Insurance charges are paid by the client.
