THE IDEA THAT JUST FIT…
Nicholas Joseph Hansen launched the label Nicholas Joseph Chicago Custom Tailors in Chicago, IL in 2005 after years of extensive planning, designing, and travels for fabrics & inspiration.
The obsession began when he returned from an overseas trip where he had purchased his first hand tailored custom suit and custom dress shirts - he was hooked the moment he tried them on. “It is the fit… no wait, it is the styling options… no. It is definitely the custom fit” he said. When he got home he was disappointed to find that the only high quality, reputable custom suit shops that existed in the US were charging four times or more what he had paid overseas. Always looking for unique challenges and opportunities, he thought “there has to be a way to make custom tailored suits and custom clothing for men affordable in the US”. And thus, Nicholas Joseph was born.
Those years of planning and research paid off. When Nicholas Joseph Custom Tailors launched, Nicholas Joseph Hansen had behind the brand three lifelong expert custom tailors - a custom shirt tailor, a custom jacket tailor, and a custom pant tailor. Each of these men have European training and have been creating custom suits and other custom clothing by hand for over a combined 50 years.
In addition to their location in Chicago, Nicholas Joseph has clients across the US and Canada and is being introduced to others by loyal clients to their friends and associates every day. It seems that affordable custom tailored clothing is inspiring others just like it did Nicholas.
