Jakob Custom Clothiers, Boston

Jakob Custom Clothiers' tailors design and handcraft garments for individual men and women, tailoring each piece to the tastes and lifestyle of its owner. They start with fabrics such as wool, cotton, and silk gathered from mills around the world to outfit a range of clientele—from business leaders to pro athletes—in suits, tuxedos, blazers, slacks, and shirts. Custom touches enhance the personality of each piece, with options such as mother-of-pearl buttons and monogramming on shirts and handpicked stitching and a hidden pocket for hiding packets of fancy ketchup on suits—all at no additional cost.
