"Warren Liao, co-founder of BlackLapel, explains "when I got my first suit custom made for me, everything changed. The first change was my outlook. I hadn't ever experienced pride of ownership in my clothes before.....From there, my growing hobby began to look more and more like a calling. We realized that if more people saw the improvements to their style a flawless fit can deliver and learned a bit about the outfit-building along the way, they'd have the same empowering experience I had. That was the beginning of the custom clothing company we started."
"Doing Good Never Looked So Good"
We partner with and donate suits to NYC-area nonprofits serving under-privileged members of our community including YearUp, CareerGear and The Salvation Army.

According to BlackLapel "A windowpane suit is a suit with a window-like plaid pattern. Although they look square, their crossing lines actually make elongated rectangles that have the effect of lengthening their wearer."
Here is another example, at an upcoming estate sale, of a perfect resource to obtain a high-end suit for oneself, family, or a donation!!!
