History
Established in 1929.
Founded in 1929 by an Italian immigrant named Dominic DeBartolo, Richard Bennett stands today as the oldest and foremost authentic Custom Tailor Shop in Chicago. Now owned by Albert Karoll — grandson of the founder of the former Karoll’s Red Hanger Shops — Richard Bennett boasts an expansive downtown showroom of exclusive fabrics imported from Italy, England and around the world. In the hands of our Master Tailors, these fine cloths are transformed into worthy garments of distinction that fit perfectly and look great for any business or social occasion.
