History

Established in 1961.

Elmer Miller had been working many years managing a men’s store called «Freedman’s» before he decided to launch his own business. Elmer, along with a group of other businessmen wanted to launch a business based on the new photometric fitting technology for custom clothing.

In 1961, Elmer opened one of the seven original Richard Bennett stores in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. It featured the innovative photometric custom-​fitting technology, which started with the customer standing in a room filled with large mirrors. The customer would don carefully placed tape measures in order to ensure accuracy and fit. One photo of the customer would provide a view of every side of their body. The live photo was sent directly to the tailoring company, where a life size photo would be recreated. The tailor worked with these images, which made it easy to fit even the most unique physiques.
