The Process

Four fittings, one garment

A pattern drafted to you alone, proved in our Raleigh workroom before a single inch of your cloth is cut.

Commission & Measure
Forty-five minutes with a $75 bespoke deposit. We talk through how you actually live and work, choose cloth, and take the measurements a paper pattern is drafted from.
Scrap Fitting
Before a single inch of your cloth is cut, the paper pattern is proved in inexpensive fabric. Mistakes are made here, on material that costs nothing, rather than on the cloth you chose.
Basted Fitting
The garment arrives loosely stitched together with white basting thread. Nothing is committed. Balance, drape, shoulder and stance can all still be opened up and moved.
Forward Fitting
The last appointment before delivery. The suit is essentially finished; what remains are the small corrections that separate a very good fit from a correct one.

The Bespoke Process

Established 2015

Quiet excellence, since day one

Situated in the heart of Raleigh’s Glenwood South district, our atelier serves the professionals, executives and families who understand that clothing is never incidental. It carries intention. It shapes perception. It is the first thing the room reads about you.

The house was founded by Brian Burnett, who has over 10,000 hours of fitting and wardrobe design and over a decade dressing North Carolina's leaders. He oversees the higher-end garments himself, and every commission passes his eye before it leaves the workroom.

“I've had two really good experiences here within a month. Suit jacket sleeves shortened, two pairs of pants shortened — all looked so much better after the alterations. Brian worked with me and took the time to get things right. Lots of attention to detail: sleeve linings sewed back meticulously, buttons moved undetectably. I got patient answers to questions about how things were going to be done, and items were ready when promised. Glenwood South costs a little more than some others I've used, but it's worth it to me for a job well done.”
