At Bespoke Fit, skilled tailors with at least 10 years of experience meticulously measure, cut, sew, and toil over their masterwork: handmade suits, shirts, jackets, and trousers of the finest quality. Unlike factory-made apparel cut by unseasoned hands or machines, bespoke tailoring ensures that artisans know each client's exact measurements and that they attack their craft with a careful attention to detail, from hand-sewing buttonholes to adding personal embroidery on inside pockets. Onsite pattern makers and cutters piece together fine European fabrics from merchants such as Giorgio Armani, Cerruti, and Fabrics by Holland & Sherry. Customers help personalize the design, with more 30 styles of shirt collars and 15,000 varieties of cloth available. Each suit also comes with up to two years of alterations after completion.

The creative staff helps customers envision each project by narrowing down choices from thousands of mats, mouldings, and fillets and by deciding whether artifacts warrant specialty conservation framing.

Backed by more than 85 years of experience, the shoemakers at Stride Rite of Wyckoff design and assemble durable, cushy footwear specifically tailored to accommodate the constantly growing soles of babies, toddlers, and kids. They put each piece of footwear from their eponymous brand through a meticulous, three-step test, first scrutinizing fit before allowing real kids to don the shoes for 30–45 days of active play and imaginary-friend wrestling. Then they administer another 30–40 lab tests, striving to secure a snug fit with sturdy materials. To further swaddle tots’ feet in style, Stride Rite compiles a vast array of sneakers, sandals, and dress shoes from renowned brands such as Sperry, Robeez, and Keds.
