The Process
Alan David Custom offers virtual consultations when you’re too busy for in-person visits.

1) You’ll choose fabric based on your suit’s location and temperature. You may opt for a light linen or cotton fabric for a humid location or wool for winter, or a blend of both for more versatility throughout multiple seasons.

2) Then, you’ll choose a cut based on your level of formality. You may want a vest for a more polished, finished, and formal look. You may want a crease in your pants, or favor a particular color. Emily Politis is a superb wardrobe consultant at Alan David Custom and someone who knows how to guide clients with the right blend of information and suggestions. She will oversee your entire process so that it’s ultimately easy, swift, and satisfying.

3) After your preferences for the suit’s cut, fabric, and color are decided, you can choose a liner, which includes a pattern, color, and fabric. You can express yourself by opting for a paisley pattern in a subdued matching color or for something bright instead as an internal surprise. Your initials will be added to the suit, along with “Tailored Exclusively For,” which is a unique touch. The suit arrives in a travel carrying case.
