What to know about Brooklyn Tailors
Soft shoulders, no structure
The house cut is narrow-shouldered and lightly constructed rather than padded, which is why the suiting reads closer to sportswear than corporate.
Custom work came first
Daniel Lewis began making made-to-measure suits in his apartment in 2007, and bespoke and made-to-measure remain available alongside the ready-to-wear.
Also a Japanese-label stockist
The Brooklyn shop carries Fujito, Velva Sheen, Cableami and Rototo, so the tailoring sits next to casual Japanese pieces you can build around it.

Brand facts
Brooklyn Tailors is a New York menswear label and retailer founded in 2007 by Daniel Lewis, who started making custom suits in his apartment before opening a Brooklyn storefront. The house style is soft, narrow-shouldered tailoring with clean lines, paired with oxford shirting, knitwear and outerwear in Japanese and European fabrics. Alongside its own ready-to-wear, the shop offers bespoke and made-to-measure services and stocks Japanese labels such as Fujito, Velva Sheen, Cableami and Rototo. Lewis won GQ's Best New Menswear Designer award in 2014.
