Dallas · Est. 1972
What it costs,and why
The making does not change. The cloth does, and that is the whole of the price difference.
Made-to-measure women’s suits for Dallas, fitted at The Man’s Shop in Arlington. The construction is identical whichever cloth you choose, so the mill sets the price. We will show you the range with the cloth in front of you rather than quote a figure that means nothing without it.
What matters
Worth knowing
- Cloth sets the price
- A good Australian merino sits well below an English Super 150s, and both are made the same way by the same people.
- What is included
- Measurement, construction and alterations at collection.
- High-twist for the commute
- Holds a crease through a drive in heat, where a soft worsted does not.
- Business colors
- Navy and charcoal first. Dallas offices reward conventional cloth.
- Twenty miles
- Straight down I-30 from downtown.
The process
Two visits, not five
- First appointment
- About an hour. Cloth, measurements, and a conversation about how you actually wear the garment.
- Build
- Four to six weeks. Nothing is rushed and nothing is sent overseas without us knowing where it is.
- Collection
- Twenty minutes. Anything needing adjustment goes to Enrique, who works on site.
- Alterations
- Included on what we make. There is no separate bill at collection.
- Afterwards
- Your pattern stays on file, so the next order is a phone call.
Common questions
Women’s tailoring, answered
Why can nobody quote a price?
Because it depends entirely on the cloth, and the making is the same whichever you pick. The range is genuinely wide, which is why we show it to you with the cloth in hand rather than publishing a number.
What cloth suits a Dallas working week?
A high-twist wool. It resists creasing and holds its shape through a commute in heat, where a softer worsted arrives looking tired.
How long does it take?
Four to six weeks. If you are working to a date, say so at the fitting and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
Where are you and what are your hours?
100 S. West Street in downtown Arlington, parking beside the building. Monday to Saturday, ten until five, closed Sundays.
