MEN’S CUSTOM SUITS nyc

Men's custom and bespoke suits, fully canvassed and made entirely by hand. We bring a design perspective, not just a menswear template. Every suit is drafted to your proportions and built by one master tailor from start to finish.

Bring Style to your wardrobe with our custom suits for men. We balance a sense of modern New York suit style with classic tailored suiting to bring you what, in our humble opinion, are some of the best men’s custom suits and men’s tuxedos in the city. Our handmade custom suits for men are exactly that: they’re 100% handmade instead of on a factory-line. We don’t have only cookie-cutter design options like most made-to-measure companies either. At Watson Ellis, your handmade suit, tuxedo or overcoat is constructed by one master tailor from start to finish.

Some FAQs

Need to know for Men’s Custom Suits

  • Our attention to detail and our expertise when it comes to fitting custom clothing to all bodies, coupled with our unlimited design options and our range of the world's best fabrics. All of these things should come with the territory of running a business like ours, but the truth is that they don't; there's often more salesmanship than actual craft going on out there. Not the case with us. At Watson Ellis, we listen to your style-voice and will not let you walk out the door until you're completely satisfied with your one-of-a-kind custom suit, tuxedo or other garment.

  • Absolutely! We love traditional styles in men's suiting as well and make them all the time for many of our male clients. From classic pinstripe suits, to houndstooth blazers, men's black tuxedos, to understated sports coast and sharkskin suits for the office -- we have a wide array of more traditional and conservative options to choose from.

  • Yes, making custom wedding suits for men is a huge and highly valued part of our business. We love working with our wedding clients, and offer a huge range of options in terms of fabrics and styles for men's wedding attire. We'd advise you to please check out our weddings page to read further on the subject and see some examples of what we can do in this regard - Men’s Wedding Suits

  • Believe it or not this question comes up a lot, and yes, we absolutely do make these items. Recently we've made a couple out of this beautiful dark moleskin fabric we have on offer, and they worked out beautifully. We'd love to keep exploring these styles with you, so please don't hesitate to make an obligation-free appointment to come in for a design session and discuss further.

  • Sorry, we do not alter existing suits made by other companies. However, if there's an old suit of yours that you absolutely adore and want to replicate, we'd be more than happy to work with you on recreating it in the form of a new suit.

  • We don't make fused or factory-line garments. Every Watson Ellis suit is fully canvassed and handmade by one master tailor from start to finish — that's the floor, not the upgrade. We work in three levels: Handmade Custom, Handmade Bespoke (which adds a muslin test garment before we cut your cloth), and Bespoke Original Design, which starts from a sketch. See service levels and pricing.

  • Alterations are included when your suit first comes in up until the final fitting. We do not offer lifetime adjustments. Any alterations for future weight fluctuation can be done for you at current market rates. That being said, we will fit the suit to the body you have right now to perfection. And before making a second or third suit, we will of course check the fit of your previous WE suits and make any necessary updates to your pattern.
