Izzy must admit that he had never previously heard of Rochester-based Adrian Jules, but according to this article in the Robb Report, they and Oxxford Clothes are the only major American suitmakers that do most of their tailoring by hand. Alas, that kind of detail-work doesn’t come cheap, as their custom-made suits start at $1,500.
It’s encouraging to see some homegrown clothing manufacturers. Our quality is better and worth a premium in price, although $1500 is a bit steep.
