When Drew’s wife-to-be saw him wearing his custom tuxedo from Knot Standard, “she was just enamored.” As they were taking photos after their ceremony, “she kept complimenting me. Those are pictures that you’re going to live with forever.”

You never have to worry about fitting in when you are custom made. Confidence is the best trait to have in any situation, and though it comes from within, feeling great on the outside can help you reach that perfect level of confidence.
PREFERENCES
Simple and dynamic. I want to find you pieces that not only bring you confidence and pride in what you have on, but I also want to create a wardrobe that lasts and can be styled in endless ways. After spending all day at the office I want you to be able to switch the slacks out for some jeans or a stylish jogger and still feel incredible in a casual look custom fit for YOU.
RECREATION
Combine work and play effortlessly. Don't be scared to trade those loafers out for a pair of Yeezys and take your look from sleek to the street. I want you to have fun with your looks and watch your creativity grow as we continue to work together as a team. Custom clothing is an endless world where you can think outside the box and have fun. My main goal is to always create a fun, exciting, and memorable experience that will result in all eyes being on you whenever you walk in the room.

PREFERENCES
Classic with a touch of poise. With over 30 customizations such as perfectly placed initials to unique colors of thread, clients can create their own masterpiece out of a blank canvas. Designing every aspect of your apparel allows you put love and personality into your wardrobe. Together we will create something exclusive, classic, and contemporary.
RECREATION
Peter Morrissey said it best: "Dress like you're embracing life, not hiding from it!"
Besides working with my clients, there is nothing else I'd rather do than dress up to enjoy the culinary delicacies and interesting people of Dallas. Rocking a delicate linen shirt with a deconstructed blazer is the perfect way of enjoying the weekend in style.

Versatility. A classic navy suit can be paired with endless shirts and ties to transform into a whole new look. Let's start by building your basics and nailing your perfect fit to ensure that you walk out of the showroom with a wardrobe that's ready for any occasion.
PREFERENCES
Self-expression. Style your closet. Style your life. I believe that your wardrobe is the best way to create a visual representation of who you are. Together we can upgrade and elevate your style with a Knot Standard garment that's as unique and one of a kind as you are. Let me help you style your wardrobe to lead to a more confident life.
RECREATION
I strive for casual confidence and the ability to walk into any room and own it, whether that be the boardroom or the local bar. With that being said, casual doesn't always mean a t-shirt and jeans. Try a short sleeve button up with our performance fit pants or a sweater and textured trousers for a change. Heading to a happy hour straight from work? Switch the button up for a t-shirt and the loafers for sneakers. Cheers!

It all comes down to fit. You're wearing your clothes- they're not wearing you. When your garments truly fit, you will not only look your best, but you will feel it too. I can't wait to hear all the compliments you get!
PREFERENCES
Personality. Keeping customizations classic with a flair of personal style is my favorite way to make timeless garments your own.
RECREATION
When it comes to your weekends and nights out- you're never doing just one thing. Your wardrobe needs to be as versatile as you are!

Fit! When your clothes fit well and how they're supposed to, you not only look your best, but you feel your best. Fit is the key to confidence and that's what I strive to create for all of my clients. Whether you're heading to the office or for a night out with the guys, I've got you covered for every occasion and trust that the fit of your garments will have you feeling comfortable and confident no matter the setting.
PREFERENCES
Simplicity - but make it your own! We have busy enough lives as it is, so I want to make dressing your best a no brainer in your day-to-day life. Nothing makes dressing easier than having a capsule wardrobe of basics that can mix and match with anything. Adding in fun, unique details such as lining, monogram or buttons adds a little extra flare to make it yours and only yours.
RECREATION
Versatility! Your wardrobe should be able to seamlessly transform into whatever your day holds. If you're heading from work to patio drinks in the Texas heat, throw on a bright colored linen blazer with your button down and trousers for a more playful vibe. It's always nice to have some great statement pieces in your wardrobe to compliment the essentials.

EMPHASIS
Complementary and functional garments. Complimenting someone's personal features, as well as their lifestyle, is my biggest goal. I strive to perfect this collaboration - and to achieve an aesthetically pleasing garment for each of my clients.
PREFERENCES
Simplicity. People have complicated enough lives as it is - I strive to eliminate this stress. Sticking to staples and neutralizing investment pieces is the best answer to a "dynamic wardrobe." However, I'm not opposed to some flair here and there!
RECREATION
Mixing and matching new statement pieces with your essential go-to's is key. Timeless recreation, to me, is finding this equilibrium.

Practicality. I feel most accomplished when my client creates something with significant meaning and purpose. Whether it is for his everyday wardrobe or a momentous life event, we will work in tandem to create garments that are practical, appropriate, and functional for any situation.
PREFERENCES
Simplicity. Our process is the most fun when the small, subtle details combine to produce a garment that has character similar to that of its owner; a unique button, contrasting highlight thread, or colorful lining can be the finishing detail you never knew you needed.
RECREATION
When I'm not in the showroom, you can find me partaking in Dallas's ever changing dining scene. A requirement to begin an appointment with me is to tell me either your favorite go-to casual spot, or indulgent locale for a night of celebration. Be prepared for a few suggestions of my own as well!

Customizations. Keep it subtle but make it your own; I love when my clients add personal touches to their garments to show off their personality and add a little extra flair. Classic on the outside, funky on the inside!
RECREATION
When it comes to the weekend, why not feel as good as you do throughout the week. Whether you're trying a new restaurant in the Arts District or strolling around Deep Ellum in the Texas heat, a deconstructed blazer over a casual button-down paired with jeans and your favorite boots will have you feeling like one of the best dressed in Dallas.

Show Your Personality. Uncover a timeless color palette paired with an appreciation for discrete textures and subtle patterns - follow the 10/5 rule. A solid color 10ft away, an interesting pattern or texture 5ft away.
RECREATION

Texas' own ZZ Top put it best; "Silk suit, black tie, [you] don't need a reason why. They come runnin' just as fast as they can, because every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man."
