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.

Tuxedo Fabrics for Timeless Elegance

Tuxedo Fabrics Specific for Tuxedos

Tuxedos demand specific fabrics to achieve their signature elegance; using just any suit fabric won’t capture that refined drape and sophisticated appearance.

When it comes to formal attire, Barathea fabric is a top choice. Its beautiful texture and impressive resistance to wrinkles ensure you maintain a crisp, structured appearance from start to finish.

Custom Tuxedo Construction

Alan David crafts full bespoke tuxedos. The impeccable craftsmanship we offer is the work of old-world custom tailors and master craftsmen, creating the finest custom tuxedos NYC has to offer.

All formal wear garments contain a full canvas interior allowing for optimal structure & softness throughout the jacket.

All collars are first basted and then hand sewn into the jacket. This assures that the collar hugs the back of the neck without creasing or folding.

Every part of the garment is hand-pressed throughout the assembly process. Pressing between operations ensures the fabric will not shrink, bubble or pucker as it is worn.

Finally, all tuxedo trousers are lined with a rubber gripper on the inside of the waistband. This gripper gently grasps the shirt and holds it in place as the person stands up and sits down.

Taking Care of Your Custom Tuxedo

Do’s

  • Make sure your fiancé or significant other is present when selecting fabric as well as during the fitting process.
  • Tell your tailor your special day is two weeks before the actual date. This builds in a flexible timeline should things not go according to plan.
  • Make sure the armhole height is slightly higher to allow for optimal arm movement.

Don’ts

  • Use suit fabrics for a tuxedo. Barathea fabric is preferred.
  • Wear your tuxedo trousers at the same height as your suit trousers. They should be worn slightly higher.
  • Get too aggressive a lining. Formal events require sophisticated underwhelming linings; nothing too bold or contrasting.

“When it comes to men’s clothing (and I’m sure women’s, too), there is no better custom shop on the entire east coast than Alad David Custom.”
