CLIENT STORIES
MIKE B.
Finance Executive, NYC
Michael is a 6’6” guy, so finding clothing he felt good in--that fit both his height and weight properly--was exceedingly rare. After trying on his first custom suit and shirt with us, he was blown away: “...the first time I put it on, it just fit like a glove.”

With over 5 years experience in the custom clothing industry, I concentrate on the shape and silhouette you prefer for your garments. Clothes should flatter your body and style is more about the overall effect of an outfit. Having an appreciation for quality, construction, and service I believe in Buying [certain pieces] for Life and as a former engineer, remembering the mantra "Good, Fast, Cheap: Pick Two."
PREFERENCES
I have a respect for tradition and enjoy putting things together in new ways. My experiments take the form of small details, but I tend to recommend timeless customizations for versatility. Feeling confident in what you wear is important - get to know your style, wear colors you like, learn from others, and explore. There are some rules, once you learn them you can bend/break them.
RECREATION
One shouldn't have to sacrifice comfort to look well dressed. Dress for the occasion and just like you have different sides to your personality - that can translate through your clothes and how you wear them. I can help you look like your authentic self, easy-going and elegant, no matter the setting.

Wearing something that fits well but also fits your personal style is the key to feeling confident. Trends come and go but finding something that makes you feel YOU will never go out of style. I love working with clients to find that balance between timeless pieces and individual style.
PREFERENCES
Personal preferences are our bread and butter at Knot Standard. I work hand in hand with clients to build pieces that are tailored to each individual's preferences. Whether that's with fabric selection, customizations, or fit-we have what you prefer!
RECREATION
Nothing is better than when a garment can be transformed by what you pair it with. 1 jacket styled 3 ways, a pair of tailored trousers dressed down with a simple tee and a pair of sneakers, just to name a few examples. Being able to remix your wardrobe is something that comes from careful curation and imagination.

Fit is key. A well fitting garment will take you a long way. You'll be surprised how many unique design details you can incorporate when the fit is right!
PREFERENCES
Classic silhouettes with a twist. Let's play with texture! There's nothing like a polished fit with subtle details in material and design to show your personality.
RECREATION
I'm all about fashion meets function. A versatile sport coat is a must-have for every season! Mix and match with a button up and trousers for work or style with a henley and denim for an elevated casual look!

Having been a stylist for over 6 years, my clients can trust that they are in the best hands, not only when it comes to their wardrobe, but in knowing that I'm always going to do what's in the best interest for you.
PREFERENCES
Fit is first and foremost: it is what will make or break any outfit. After fit is practicality and personality! It's so important to dress for your environment, but still stay true to who you are. Right now it is so important to have those staple pieces that will be comfortable for a WFH day and will make it easy to dress with confidence when we're finally able to step out into the world again!
RECREATION
I think for men and women alike, the right "third piece" is everything. Whether it be a deconstructed sportcoat, a bomber jacket or a well-worn military jacket, the right piece can instantly elevate your look and make you look in control of your style, wherever you are.
