M. Kenny's Fashions, Irvine

More than 30 years ago, custom-clothing specialist M. Kenny began to build his business, operating on the belief that his clients deserved elegant clothes, all fit to order. Today, his professional couturiers, each boasting years of experience, follow his lead by sizing up customers with more than 28 precise measurements and a questionnaire officiated by a magic 8 ball. Next, M. Kenny’s master tailors in Hong Kong translate the sizings into masterpieces of expertly fitted cloth that flatter and complement each wearer’s form.

Male clients cut sharp, striking figures in suits culled from fabric merchants such as Ermenegildo Zegna or Holland & Sherry, or they can bask in the luxuriousness of dress shirts made with 30 different collar styles and sleek, form-fitting body cuts. Women don sophisticated ladies’ professional wear fashioned from a wealth of customization options, including six different styles of skirts and 12 varieties of shirt monograms and collars.
