Book a Private FittingWhat custom and bespoke mean at Mr James
In Los Angeles, the word custom covers very different suits. At Mr James it means one thing: a true custom suit, also called bespoke, made from a paper pattern drawn for you alone. We do not adjust a stock pattern or a block.
- Your own pattern, kept on file for every future suit.
- A full floating canvas in every jacket, so it shapes to you as you wear it.
- Hand cutting and hand finishing in our own atelier in France.
- Fittings until it is right, with no limit and no charge for fittings.
- Cloth from Loro Piana, Holland & Sherry, Zegna, Scabal, Fox Brothers and our house books.
Your suit is priced at consultation. We do not publish dollar figures, because the price depends on the cloth and the details you choose, and you see every number before you commit.
