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!

FIT! A well-fitted garment that shows your personality is what I aim to create for each of my clients. Allowing each man to put his own personal touch into his garments creates the power and the confidence to make any gentleman, and his suit, stand out from the crowd.
PREFERENCES
Mixing and matching. I want to help each of my clients build a versatile wardrobe with items that can be worn in several different ways. Think quality over quantity, when you have those key pieces in your wardrobe it makes getting dressed in the morning not only easier but more fun.
RECREATION
Whether it's your wedding day or a Saturday night out with the guys, together we can curate a beautiful garment to make you look and feel your best!

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! Whether your day holds a late night at the office or an evening of discovering Dallas' newest bars and restaurants, I'm here to make sure heads turn when you walk into the room.

EMPHASIS
Overall fit. When something truly fits your body you are bound to feel confident and comfortable throughout the day, no matter the occasion. A timeless, versatile and classic wardrobe will create ease in getting dressed each morning.
PREFERENCES
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.

EMPHASIS
FIT - I cannot emphasize this enough. How something fits plays into how you feel each day, regardless of if you are in a work setting, at dinner/drinks with your pals, or black tie event. I ensure that my client feels great in what they are wearing by achieving their best fit.
PREFERENCES
Customize! Have fun with the process, whether that be a suit, tuxedo, sports coat, or short sleeved button down with a pair of chinos - the sky is the limit. And why not take advantage of being able to add in your "two cents" as far as preference goes? I focus on making your custom experience fun and as seamless as possible!
RECREATION
Confidence: Don't hide behind your wardrobe! We have put together a sharp look for you, and what you are wearing is now a stress of the past. As you and I both know, you are going to look and feel great in what we have created (team work is key here). Embrace the day, my friend!

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.

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.

Attention to Detail. At Knot Standard we have to ability to produce a truly one of a kind garment, exquisite both in construction and outward appearance. Together we can create something truly beautiful on the inside and out.
PREFERENCES
I love an unexpected flourish. There's nothing like a contrast button hole, playful pattern mixing or a colorful pocket square to elevate even the most conservative of styles.
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."
