5 Things You Should Know About D&B Tailors

Custom Suits for Men

The D&B Tailors  shop has stood for over half a century as a bastion of old-world craftsmanship and timeless style. While we are so excited about this milestone, we know it’s all because of our dear customers. Many of them have been supporting our business for years, if not decades! To say thank you, today we would like to share some more facts about us and why we love what we do.

 

5 Things You Should Know About D&B Tailors

 

  • Master Designer – Gabe D’Annunzio has been working in the clothing industry since he was 15 years old. He started his own business in 1966. A year later, he partnered with Nick Battistoni and that’s how D&B Tailors came together.

  • Gabe D’Annunzio loves seeing his customers look good, but the relationships with them is what he values the most. The most fond memories for the Designer has been taking care of generations of people, entire families and celebrities such as Frank Sinatra and most recently, Villanova Coach Jay Wright (read more about it here.)

  • There has always been just one location for D&B Tailors on 3620 Chapel Road in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. However, at first D&B Tailors shared their building with a pizzeria. Once Gabe started offering Dry Cleaning services, the business expanded and eventually took over the whole building.

  • In over 50 years of being in business, D&B Tailors never refused a garment that needed cleaning. The Dry Cleaning Shop also never asks his clients to sign any kind of release/waiver for their clothes. The team at D&B Tailors is confident at safely and effectively removing any stains, and that is why Gabe finds such waivers unprofessional and discrediting to his business.Albert Dememmo
  • Gabe D’Annunzio still works and does 90% of his fittings. His business is closed on Sundays.

What You Need to Know about Bespoke Tailoring

Just like women’s fashion has haute couture, men have bespoke tailoring. The latter goes back as far as the 17th century, and it means “to give an order for it to be made.” In other words, it gives you a full control over creation of a new garment. The process involves a customized tailoring where your height, weight and other measurements of your body all contribute to creating your special order.

Bespoke Tailoring vs. Made-to-Measure

Made-to-measure and bespoke tailoring are to terms that may seem the same, but essentially, they mean different things. Here’s a few distinctions:

  • Made-to-measure clothing is largely made by a machine with restrictions in shape and fit. Bespoke Tailoring is an entirely handmade garment created to suit your specific measurements.
  • In case of a made-to-measure order,  a salesman or a fitter takes the basic measures in relation to a stock size i.e. 39” regular sleeves plus 1/2 inch. In bespoke tailoring, a cutter makes sure all the frames and contours of one’s body reflect in a garment.
  • Bespoke tailoring offers individual paper patterns that are drafted for each client.
  • There is no restriction on style in bespoke tailoring. Details of made-to-measure clothing are limited to tailor’s availability.
  • It takes 4 to 6 days for a made-to-measure order to be completed, whereas bespoke tailoring garments need 4 to 6 weeks.

Bespoke tailoring lies at the core of the D&B Tailors tradition. With over 50 years of experience, our Master Designer Gabrielle D’Annunzio offers a qualified advice and guarantees the best picks over a large selection of fabrics, stylistic details and fit specifications.

What Makes D&B Tailors Different Than Other Tailor Shops?

D&B Tailors bespoke tailor in PA Customer reviews

For decades now, the most discerning men and women from Philadelphia and the Main Line have chosen D&B Tailors as their custom bespoke and couture clothier. The client Hall of Fame includes big personalities like Jay Wright, George Burns or even Frank Sinatra. Do you wonder what makes us stand out?

D&B Tailors

What distinguishes our business from other clothing makers is a comprehensive, client-centric design philosophy that has been the cornerstone of our success for generations.

Our Master Designer and owner of D&B Tailors Gabriele guides each customer through the design process, from the selection of color and fabric to the placement of seams, buttons, and pleats. Paramount in the design process are the garment’s form and fit; every line falls perfectly so that style manifests itself on the individual wearer rather than on a model, mannequin, or hanger.

But don’t just take our word for it. See below to find out what our customers have to say about D&B Tailors:
