The Best Custom Suits NYC Has to Offer

Bespoke Suits Tailored to Absolute Fit Precision

Alan David commissions true bespoke garments, built on the expertise of skilled custom tailors and master craftsmen. Your measurements are taken by master tailors and pattern cutters, never by sales staff. An expert patternmaker interprets your dimensions, and a sample garment is created to confirm the fit. Once approved, the final garment is cut to the precise adjustments made during your fitting for a true bespoke fit.

Alan David features the last true 100% hand-sewn garment collection Made in the USA- the centerpiece of its bespoke portfolio. These pieces feature hand-basted shoulders, perfectly aligned stripes and plaids, and thousands of precise hand stitches. These masterpieces embody bespoke at its highest form and set the standard for all other Alan David clothing collections, each produced with the same precision and fit.

For clients with urgent timelines, Alan David offers an accelerated bespoke process capable of delivering custom suits in as little as ten working days. Guided by five generations of tailoring experience, Alan David continues to commission the finest custom suits NYC has to offer.

Achieve a Perfect Fit Through Basted Fittings


To ensure a superior fit, Alan David employs a traditional basted fitting. At this stage, the garment is temporarily assembled with loose basting thread, allowing clients to try it on while adjustments can still be made. This process makes it possible to refine posture, balance, and shoulder line, while also incorporating basic changes such as shortening sleeves

The basted fitting provides assurance that every measurement is precise and that the garment will deliver the highest level of comfort.

A Message From
the Owner

“For five generations, my family has dedicated itself to the craft of custom tailoring. Alan David is the longest-standing tailoring operation in New York, and I take great pride in continuing that tradition. Our entire focus is on creating garments that fit with absolute precision and comfort. Every measurement is taken by real tailors and pattern-makers, never salespeople. The collection of on-premise master tailors I’ve assembled is second to none — they are the backbone of our operation.

In the 25 years I’ve run this business, we’ve never missed a rush or time-sensitive delivery. But more than anything, I’m passionate about making every client completely happy. Programs like our Perfect Fit Guarantee and Free Lifetime Alterations exist for one reason — to ensure you love your garment today, and for years to come.”

What Matters Most in a Custom Suit

Details that Make a Difference

It is very important to have a true tailor or master fitter take your measurements for your custom suit. Never allow a salesperson to do it.

Make sure the top button on your jacket closes at the fullest part of your stomach. Any higher it will make you look heavier & any lower it will show too much of your shirt and look off balance, especially on a tuxedo.

It is important to make sure the sleeves of your bespoke suit are attached symmetrically so you have a nice clean drape from your shoulder to your wrist. Make sure there is no wrinkling or pulling in the bicep area.
