Mr. Ned

Founded in 1965 by Nuran Mateosian, Mr. Ned has gained mainstream attention for creating the suits featured in The Royal Tenenbaums, as well as serving as director Wes Anderson’s go-to tailor. For the past 15 years, it has been run by Mateosian’s knowledgeable and charismatic son, Vahram, who is often in the shop as early as 6am to work with high-profile clients like former NBA All-Star Charles Barkley. Fittings take place in an industrial, exposed-brick Flatiron loft, where fabrics from Vitale Barberis, Scabal and Holland & Sherry are displayed in the front showroom (there’s also a full workshop in back). Mr. Ned prides itself on offering some of the lowest prices in town (suits start at $850, pants start at $250 and jackets start at $650) without sacrificing quality; the average turnaround is five to six weeks.
