I have a few mantras in life, but there are two I feel are especially relevant to fashion: Always buy the best you can afford. Use beautiful things every day. Basically, my philosophy is that you shouldn’t keep your best china, crystal or silver locked away, but enjoy them all the time. Beauty makes daily […]

Fall Color Surprise
The new fall color palette is rich and full of seasonal tones that evoke the arrival of fall: the spices, the berries, the foliage and the appealing warm tones that welcome us into the autumnal months. It’s easy to love these colors, and one of the pleasures I had in working with the new palette […]
Outdoor Icon: The Shirt Jacket
The shirt jacket has been around for some time, and whilst I am not exactly sure of its origins, this style was worn in rural America as early as the thirties and forties—probably as an evolution of a heavy work shirt to wear over thermal knits in winter. Synonymous with Canadian lumberjacks in classic red […]
Get Your Exclusive Custom-Made Layers
It is worth noting that at this time, compared to over a year ago, we have a completely overhauled and new line-up in our knit assortment having introduced and updated new styles, options, and fabrics. Knits are no longer relegated to the narrow offering of just polos with the occasional Henley, but offer polos, zip […]
Accessories Make the Difference
I very often am asked about accessorizing outfits. After pulling an outfit together with the main custom-made pieces of a top and bottom and perhaps a third piece for layering, how do you finish off an outfit with the right accessories that look relevant and modern without relying on the classics? Finishing an outfit with […]
Comfort is The New Normal
Over the last year and more, we have all had to learn the new normal of working from home, zoom meeting scheduling, and a new dependence on technology to help us teach our kids, register for vaccines, and order our groceries. As our world pre-pandemic starts to reopen again and we start to go back […]
On and Off the Golf Course Custom-Made makes you look good
As a teen, being left-handed seriously limited my ability to enjoy striking a tiny ball with a club, and so I never fell in love with the game of golf. Growing up in the UK we had access to a local golf course but it was a place to walk dogs on a summer evening […]
It’s Okay to be Different – When Everything is Custom
I have received a few questions about our value and why our products sometimes seem to be more expensive than RTW (ready to wear) products and brands. While it may seem pretty obvious to some, it is a good question, and as we expand our casual assortment, we are opening doors to new categories that […]
The Sunshine is on the Way
With the latest launch of our product, we have introduced newness in colors, fabrics, and styling options. I want to focus this segment on color and how to wear it; though I realize how subjective color is in clothing and how preference rules choices – I wanted to share some guidance on how you can […]
Custom-Made Confidence Made Easy For You
I don’t know about you, but I haven’t had an excuse to dress up for a long time. Over the last year, I have been going to the same spot in my closet recycling a group of pieces that includes knits of various colors, some stretch five-pocket pants, a trio of knit sportscoats, and a […]
