The Essence of Bespoke Tailoring

A bespoke suit is not simply clothing. It’s an extension of identity. The tradition, born on Savile Row and perfected in New York City, lives on at Klein Epstein Parker, where craftsmanship and creativity unite in each stitch.

Unlike off-the-rack or made-to-measure garments, a bespoke suit is drafted entirely from scratch. Every measurement, curve, and adjustment is based on you, your posture, your preferences, your presence.

At our showroom at 46 Carmine Street, master tailors create pieces that capture your individuality while honoring the timeless art of tailoring.

Why Choose Custom Over Off-the-Rack

An off-the-rack suit may fit your size.

A bespoke suit fits your life.

Custom suits from Klein Epstein Parker are hand-tailored using the world’s finest fabrics, including Loro Piana, Dormeuil, and Scabal, each chosen for durability, texture, and drape.

Off-the-rack suits are mass-produced, often compromising fit for convenience. In contrast, bespoke tailoring sculpts to your physique, elevating your appearance with precision. It’s not just about looking sharp. It’s about feeling composed, capable, and distinctly you.

 

Inside the Fitting Process

At Klein Epstein Parker’s West Village showroom, the experience begins with conversation and ends with transformation.

  • Initial Consultation: Explore your aesthetic, purpose, and preferred silhouettes.

  • First Fitting: Adjust balance, shoulders, and chest for structure and ease.

  • Subsequent Fittings: Fine-tune sleeve length, jacket contour, and trouser break.

Every fitting brings your vision closer to reality. By the final session, what began as fabric evolves into a work of wearable art, flawlessly fitted and unmistakably yours.
