What types of fabrics do you use?

We use only the finest cloths for suit and sports coats. Mostly from well-known fabric mills such as Zegna and Loro Piana.

What is bespoke vs made-to-measure vs ready-to-wear?

Lets start with ready-to-wear (RTW); the equivalent to off-the-rack. Clothing bought 'as-is' is RTW. The term 'bespoke' dates back to when tailors in London would mark a clients' chosen cloth as 'be spoken for.' The client has paid, his measurements are taken, and a fully custom suit is made from the ground-up. Made-to-measure (MTM) is in between RTW and bespoke. We offer all three options, and make recommendations based on your needs and budget.

 

Who are your clients?

For almost 30 years, Franco has designed personalized garments for thousands of men from all walks of life. Women as well. Clients are top level business executives, lawyers, doctors, and professional athletes and artists. And most importantly, you.
