Brooklyn Tailors
Bespoke gear from yesteryear

Nostalgia for previous eras can be enchanting, a truth that
explains why enormous turkey legs and staged jousting can
actually get people to go to New Jersey. By bus. To
experience a custom clothing brand similarly enraptured by
the past, head the other direction, to Brooklyn Tailors.

From a Cali-cum-Clinton Hill husband-n-wife fashion vet team
so inspired by the personal service & detail-oriented work
of turn-of-the-century clothiers they created a bespoke
clothing outfit to pay homage, BT's been quietly conducting
viewings/fittings in the friendly confines of their own
apartment, making awkward ball grazing improbably even more
personal. Suits, predominantly made from 100% wool (but also
avail in cotton, linen, and cashmere), are lined with
classic horse hair canvas, which holds the jacket's shape
and, unlike artificially-stiffened glue-fused linings,
allows moisture to wick; other time-tested deets include
functional cuff button holes, genuine buffalo horn buttons,
and hand pick stitching (though when you need stitches it's
time to stop picking altogether). Traditional plaid,
gingham, and oxford dress shirts can be custom cut from
recently-expanded fabric options that include flannel,
chambray, pinpoint, and end-on-end (all made from 100%
cotton woven in specialized Japanese mills), and're
similarly adorned with everything from free floating canvas
interlinings on cuffs/collars, to genuine mother of pearl
buttons, which worry Pearl's fascination with cockles is
perverse.

For intense agoraphobes, BT also just re-upped their Etsy
site with a collection of pre-made shirts, and plans're
underway for a line of pret a porte suits in their signature
notch lapel'd, side vented, 2-button slim fit silhouette, a
cut that'll evoke nostalgia for a previous era, specifically
the one before you ate all those turkey legs.
