If you’re looking for a luxe—but also relaxed and comfortable—tailoring experience, then Cad & The Dandy is an excellent option.
Located in midtown on 57th Street, C&TD was founded by James Sleater and Ian Meiers in London and is the youngest tailoring house on Saville Row. In 2018, the company opened a penthouse suite in NYC where New Yorkers can now take advantage of bespoke British tailoring for suits, shirts (the price for bespoke shirts starts at $260 and takes about four weeks) and more.
C&TD specializes in creating suits and formal wear that you may wear to a destination wedding, rehearsal dinner or extended celebration. They’re also one of the few tailors on this side of the Atlantic that specialize in morning suits and white tie for those looking for an even more formal outfit.
Every aspect of the suits they create are customized for the wearer. Clients make a tailoring appointment online and then show up for their appointment in a glam penthouse with soaring windows. On one wall, books containing over 10,000 fabric swatches are then referenced to create the most customized piece of clothing desired.
After the initial fitting, clients return roughly three weeks later for an intermediate toile fitting followed by a final sitting. A full bar is also available for guests to sip on a curated cocktail selection while planning the perfect outfit.
Whether you’re looking for an outfit for your big day or want a suit to really impress at work, C&TD offers a great selection at a lower price point from other local competitors.
