Acustom Apparel

I was fortunate to have discovered Acustom in its early days, when they were operating out of a private space in the neighborhood. The first suit I bought fit better than any I’d ever worn before, and they have only gotten better with time. Their fabrics are excellent and they offer a nice range of options to customize: you can choose your own lining, lapels, stitching, and more. Moreover, their staff is friendly and willing to offer advice when you need help making decisions. If you want clothes that look great and fit perfectly, I strongly recommend you try Acustom!

I wanted to give Acustom a try ever since I heard of the brand, so I bought a pair of wool trousers and a dress shirt.
They are amazing! The fit is perfect thanks to the unique technology Acustom uses. Much, much better value than premium off the rack and bespoke tailoring can’t touch the Acustom price. I prefer a modern slim fit and have a hard time finding shirts that don’t billow out the back on my slim frame — that problem is gone forever.
Quality of fabric is very high and I’ve received plenty of compliments in only a few weeks. I haven’t seen the fabric and colours I chose anywhere else, and certainly not at a perfect fit. Overall finish seems durable — should last like any other premium-​end menswear.
I live overseas and received my clothes in only a few weeks without issue — now that Acustom has my measurements, they’ll be my go-​to for new additions to my professional wardrobe.
Bonus points for incredible service and a ridiculous amount of customization/​choice in the NY shop.

Amazing experience here! I’ve had made-​to-​measure done in the past, and no one has ever gotten the fit right the first time. Acustom Apparel NAILED the fit of my shirt and suit the very first try — no tweaks at all necessary. The process of designing a suit is pretty simple and fun, with lots of options for customization.
The suit I got here is easily the best suit in my closet. Won’t buy a suit anywhere else as long as this place is still in business.

Great store! The staff is extremely knowledgeable. I wasn’t sure how the 3d technology would size me, but all I can say is wow! What a fit!

Prince, the manager has a wonderful sense of style. Great cloths and multiple constructions.

I’ve tried out a number of custom shops and have always been fairly disappointed in the end because the sense of style and quality of materials just hasn’t been what I’ve been looking for.
Great sense of style, reasonable prices for what you’re getting, terrific staff (I’ve worked mainly with Candace and Brian), and shirts, suits, and jackets that look far better than anything I’ve ever bought off the rack and then had tailored.
One word of advice: get the jeans. You’ll never go back.

All sizzle and no steak.
Update 11÷14÷14:
As you can see by the owners comments the place still hasn’t apologized or even acknowledged the problems I had. The tailor only came to my work to deliver my shirt. That’s all. Even so, no custom shirt takes FOUR fittings to get right.
Not sure where these other four star reviews are coming from. My experience here was terrible!
Don’t be fooled by the hipsters working there, the hip hop playing in the shop, their 287 laser guided scanner measurements, the fake GQ photos on their website (which is of their staff) or the trendy haircuts of their staff. This place is a joke of a tailor.
On my initial visit to the store I brought with me a perfectly fitting slim cut custom shirt that I got from another tailor. In addition to their scanner measurements I asked that they take the measurements of my existing shirt as well (which they did). Easy right? Wrong!
My shirt finally came in 6 weeks later and it was HUGE on me (sleeves to the middle of my fingers, baggy fit, neck was way to wide, shoulders too baggy) I was told by the staff that it usually takes 3 – 4 visits/​alterations to get the right fit. Really?! That was never my experience at other tailors. Even if that is the case then why the computer scanner?
Anyway, despite FOUR visits to the store for my initial shirt, they finally got the shirt to fit close enough to my liking (not to mention when they delivered it to me it was wrinkled like it was sitting in a hamper).
I had ordered two shirts on my initial visit. The staff assured me that despite the misfittings of the first shirt, the next shirt would be perfect since they had the correct measurements in their system. Simple, right? Wrong! The next shirt came in EXACTLY the same as the first shirt. I had finally had enough and they offered only half my money back which I accepted.
This whole process took almost 6 MONTHS, was a total waste of my time, and the staff never once apologized or accepted responsibility. These are not tailors. Just some cool kids with a computer scanner and some beats that they think legitimizes them in the bespoke clothing game.

One word to summarize this place: Amazing
I am about as picky as it gets when it comes to my wardrobe and Acustom Apparel gets it right every time. From the choice of fabrics to the quality of the tailoring I couldn’t be more satisfied. The staff (extra special thanks to Candace, Prince and Jamal) goes above and beyond to make sure you leave feeling like a million bux in your new suit. Thanks guys

As a taller guy with an athletic build and long arms it is really hard to find shirts that aren’t like wearing a billowy bed sheet.
These shirts are the best fitting I have ever had. Forget about ‘athletic cuts’ that are always short in the arms or somewhere else.
You can choose from a bunch of fabric designs and customize every last detail. When I wear them people always complement or ask if I lost weight.

I purchased a dress shirt from Acustom last Fall and it is still my best-​fitting shirt.
I have a soft, athletic build; that sounds ridiculous, but I am a former athlete and my physique of late has been a personal disappointment so finding a shirt that makes me look good is always a struggle…
If you want to look good, you won’t want to shop anywhere else after trying this spot out.

I had a suit and tux made by Acustom for my rehearsal dinner and wedding, and my groomsmen also had matching tuxes made. We all looked great in wedding photos and got tons of compliments on our look. They’re also the best-​fitting suits I’ve ever owned, and I felt super comfortable and stylish in them. I’ve also purchased several shirts from Acustom and loved the high quality and custom feel every time. I recommend Acustom to all my friends and colleagues.

I’ve known of Acustom for awhile, but never took the plunge until recently. One afternoon chat with Jamal the founder in the shop, and no surprise the company has grown solidly and adapted. I’m sure every start-​up has its own set of growing pains, and while I sympathize with other reviews on this site and any sunk cost in outfits that didn’t work out, I would have to say Jamal has done wonders by the point I actually bought 3 suits this summer.
The style’s are fresh, distinct, and constantly evolving. This isn’t a Brooks Brothers, guys, and you wouldn’t want it to be. The staff is dedicated to fashion and apparel, and offers nice perspective. Unlike some SoHo spots where they force styles down on you, the Acustom crew gave some nice opinions, but constantly urged me to pick a style that worked for me.
To some of the critiques about repetitive visits to the store, I can only say welcome to custom clothes. I did have to go back a few times to get it right, but Jamal and team worked extra hard to meet re-​fitting times, threw in some accessories when things didn’t go the right way, etc. And remember, every time they re-​tailor the clothes, they’re eating that cost and so I wasn’t too stressed about it. My advice to anyone (and Jamal will tell you the same), try one suit first, get the fit, check the quality, and then decide whether to get more.
The new store is also refreshing. Have a glass of water, relax, enjoy the displays. They’ve got some cool new cordoroy pants just in, and I might check those out if I were you. Next time I go back, I’m sure there will be somethign there that’s new.
I’m also excited about the repeat experience. With my measurements all set, getting the next order will be much simpler. We’ve already worked out the starting coat designs/​widths, and that will be a nice benefit.
Lastly, on a customer value proposition, you cannot underscore the price point here. Suits here aren’t a $ 5,000 Tom Ford, but for ~$ 1k a pop, to have something perfectly fitted, custom designed, that’s pretty good. Jamal’s team even offered to help with some other suits I had that needed readjusting just to help a good customer out. Lastly, the custom pants are a real gem here. You can’t find customer jeans out there at anything close to Acustom’s price.
Kudos to the Acustom team.

I had heard great things about Acustom Apparel from friends and decided to stop by the shop during a trip to New York. I live in San Diego and don’t know of anything similar here, so I thought I would check it out. Boy, am I happy that I did!
The body scan (to take make sure your suit fits juuuuust right) took a few minutes and then I started looking at custom shirts and suits. Great selection here of patterns, styles and cuts. These guys know how to make a brother look sharp! And the team at the shop is friendly, professional and top notch! I picked out a monogrammed suit and shirt.
Living on the west coast, initially I was concerned that something might get fumbled during transportation, handling, etc. Not the case at all; the same suit that I had picked out arrived as scheduled. I tried it out and it fit like a champ. It was literally ready to wear out of the box!
Overall a great experience!
***Note: the pants were a little tight when they arrived and I thought they might be too tight for when I re-​inflate during the winter. I sent an email to them and they are more than happy to let the waist out a bit (and on them)! So simple and easy!

I found acustom apparel by accident.
And I’m glad I did.
The «hook» of this place is this:
they use a digital body scanner to fit you for suits, shirts, jeans and any other apparel.
What you should know about the place:
Despite the technology being pretty cool it’s very functional. They store your measurements and can give you perfectly fitting apparel wherever you are. Wow
What will make you come back:
The staff. Everyone I spoke to really stood out in their own way. Genuine, personable, knowledgeable and at all times professional. They spoke candidly and weren’t gimmicky like a corporate homogenized clothing store. Special mention goes to Prince; the wardrobe specialist – I told him I was moving, told him I needed the suit to be taken in again and whatever I asked he was able to accomplish, really strong stuff.

This place is fantastic. The staff was super friendly (Kandice especially) and guided me through the process. Never pushy, just great customer service. I’ll be back!

We need an Acustom Apparel in SF! This place is so cool– and the 3D body scanning process belongs in Silicone Valley.
As a professional athlete I have some fit issues with clothing but Acustom nailed it! Not sure if I’m going to be able to shop anywhere ever again.

My husband and I found this store while on a trip to NYC. My Husband walked in while on a stroll through the shopping district SOHO. He said it looked like the type of menswear store that we typically see when I’m in London but can’t afford.
After looking at some of the different products, a stylist explained to me that they use a 3d scanner to download all of the measurements and make custom clothing for men. After looking at the quality of their goods and seeing another customer trying on his finished jacket (looked amazing) we decided to try it out.
The designs, styles and customization looked very similar to what’s available on Saville Row in London — however the process was much simpler (I think we were there for a total of 30 minutes) and most importantly it didn’t involve a tailor feeling up my husband’s crotch with his tape measure.

The pricing was also Crazy– less than ¹⁄₃ the price of suiting in Saville Row. Their suits start in the $ 800’s and went up to about $ 1500. I asked the stylist how it was possible and they explained that Acustom’s technology drastically streamlines the manufacturing process and also improve the fit of their products (thus lowering tailoring costs).
I also loved that they offered more than just traditional suiting. My husband loves his bright colored weekend pants (he usually wears bonobos) and Acustom had a full range of colors of washed chinos.
After we choose what items we wanted, a stylist led us through their in-​store app and allowed us to customize each product– we had a lot of fun choosing the linings and thread colors for a blazer (we choose a brown harris tweed that had suede elbow patches). Each product had enough customization options to make it feel unique but it wasn’t so overwhelming. The stylist was also very helpful with her thoughts on what would look best on my husband and what was also generally in style. My husband then got into their changing room and was 3d scanned — in and out in 2 minutes.
Acustom had no problem with shipping abroad (and you actually save on tax!). They told me that after he gets his items to reach out with any fit comments or changes, and afterwards they would work with me to design more products for him.

I checked out this store on a whim… I saw that it recently opened next to one of my favorite drinking spots– Felix Café
Acustom has a very clean and unique take on menswear– everything is custom fitted and also custom designed by you and a stylist. The 3d scanning process is so futuristic and cool– I’ve been wondering for a few years why technology like this isn’t more prevalent at other retail stores.
I bought what they called «the weekender» which was a blazer, shirt and a pair of bespoke jeans. Everything came in a few weeks later and fit like a charm– i’ve already gotten a bunch of comments on the jacket in particular.

It was a mystery to me when I stepped in, which really added to the experience. Let’s just leave this one with a 5-​star review and the comment, «You’ve never experienced anything like it.»
Custom is the way to go if you can afford it.

I think this may be the first review I ever have written on here, but I’m just that jazzed about what I’ve gotten to make that leap.
In short, this beats anything I’ve ever bought. When I go out in one of the suits or shirts I got here, people turn there heads. I now go out of my way to find excuses to dress up, just so I can show it off. This applies not just for the suits but also the casual shirts and, now, jeans that Jamal and his great team put together for me.
I think one of the most amazing parts of the experience is that there is a crazy awesome variety of colors, patterns, and materials to choose from. Everything from the collar liner to the stitching on button holes. The Acustom team has great taste and they are really good at reading between the lines of what you say and steering you in the right direction.
You won’t go wrong here.
