MEN’S CUSTOM SUITS

Premium quality men’s custom suits and tuxedos in NYC

BRING STYLE TO YOUR WARDROBE WITH OUR CUSTOM SUITS FOR MEN

We balance a sense of modern New York style with classic tailored suiting to bring you what, in our humble opinion, are some of the best men’s custom suits and 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.

Need to know for Men’s Custom Suits

Some FAQs

  • 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 - https://www.watsonellis.com/custom-wedding-suits-nyc

  • 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 do made-to-measure suits, which are generally only moderately customizable items. Instead we offer both what we call 'true custom' suits and bespoke suiting options. Both options are crafted by hand and completely customizable in terms of design options and fabric choices. We would advise you to please read this page for further guidance on our processes - https://www.watsonellis.com/how-does-it-work

  • 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.
