Settle into our comfortable couch with a drink, and Alex will listen to your initial ideas and offer advice to help you achieve your vision. Alex is a born stylist with decades of expertise dressing his clients in outfits that range from traditionally conservative to downright splashy - from the casual beach wedding to the most formal black tie occasion.

At Acustom Apparel, we strive to provide it all.

We had a great experience with Acustom Apparel. Alex and the team styled my husband (the groom), our two brothers, our elder officient and several of our guests. All of them look...
ed great and were comfortable in their looks-- they have already worns their suits several more times since our wedding. Most of the guys had never worn custom suits before and the process was easy and fun and felt special without being in the least bit intimidating. We had a vision for how we wanted our catering staff to look and Acustom was also able to help us create aprons for them which we still use when we have catered parties. Working with Acustom was probably the easiest and least stressful part of the planning leading up to our wedding day. Highly recommed.

y fits has always been a tough and painful process, but Alex made it easy. He was super personable and a great collaborator when it came to making style and design decisions. His attention to detail was excellent, and most importantly the tux fit perfectly and looked fantastic. I was so happy with it that I had him set me up with a suit for my rehearsal dinner too. I’ll definitely be going back to Alex for more and would recommend to everyone.

Acustom, run by its ringleader Alex, is the ideal suit shop in Manhattan. He makes you feel at home—comfortable, never pressured—and ensures you walk out looking incredible. I’ve g...
one to him twice for black tie events, and both times I left beyond satisfied. Even when I thought the suit fit perfectly, Alex and his team made subtle adjustments that elevated it to the next level.
Though it might sound unusual to say about your suit guy, Alex has actually become a great friend. Whether it’s a wedding, work, or a big night out, he nails the fit and style each time. I’ve sent several friends to Acustom over the years, and each of them walked away happy, confident, and looking sharp.
