CASHMERE OVERCOAT

Here’s a nice Bespoke Cashmere Overcoat that got finished up recently. These pictures were taken in the new shop by me with the Iphone 5 so unfortunately they aren’t as good as they could be. My photographer is currently hanging out with the “back street boys” (of all people), somewhere in Europe and taking pictures of them for some reason or another. In any case I am enjoying working in the new space and its great that people can come in and take a look at all the interesting things that are at various stages of production. I hope to get some nicer photographs, showing off the shop soon.

SUMMER IS OVER…AT LEAST IN THE WORLD OF CUSTOM CLOTHING IN NYC

Bespoke Overcoat

ABOUT: DAVID REEVES BESPOKE SUITS

We are simply one of the very few makers in the U.S.A that make an authentic, hand made, Bespoke suit, in the traditional English Savile row style.

We do not make these suits in any factory. Over 50 hours of skilled local labor go into making a David Reeves Bespoke suit, we make and store individual patterns and perform 3 basted fittings as standard. That amounts to a suit that is structured and sharp, yet soft and comfortable, a suit with over 6000 hand stitches put into its construction.

Please click on the images below to see handwork in greater detail:

The best that we can make you.

Appointments are held at the Dormeuil showroom in Midtown Manhattan or at a location of the clients choice subject to schedule and distance.

Consultations for this special service can be booked with David by calling 917 783 2270 or by Email: David@davidreevesbespoke.com

 

VON BAR NEW YORK

One of my favorite NYC bars, not least because of the great Italian restaurant “Bianca” next door. I was there last night  with my friend James for a few pints when he shot this on his Iphone. The sport coat is made from Dormeuil Sportex and has leather elbow patches, which are of course ideal for leaning on bars….

Von bar is located at 3 Bleeker street and Bowery

BESPOKE SLEEVE PATTERN

Here you can see how a pattern is rather simply amended. The lines indicate where we have in this case slimmed down the sleeve after fittings. The clients name is marked on all patterns.

DAVID REEVES IS NOW A MEMBER OF THE CUSTOM TAILOR AND DESIGNERS ASSOCIATION

The CTDA is the oldest trade organization in the United States. Founded in 1880 in Columbus, Ohio, it was established as a venue through which ideas and techniques for design, pattern making, fitting, cutting and tailoring could be shared and exchanged.

125+ years later, the organization continues to thrive thanks to the demand for high quality custom clothing, a demand that is ever on the increase as affluent consumers everywhere seek customization in many aspects of their lives. CTDA members are able to address those needs not only with custom suits but with custom shirts, trousers and accessories as well.

Valued associate members provide goods and services including fabrics, cut-make & trim, tailoring, accessories and tools vital to its members. An accredited educational program was established five years ago and is available to members and those seeking to join the CTDA.

Today the membership includes distinguished master tailors, designers, custom clothiers and direct sellers, who create fine custom clothing for discerning clients throughout the United States.
