Levi Nelson

Summary
The past few years I have had the pleasure of being able to further delve into the world that is menswear and everything that involves menswear with the past and present. I helped people make their wedding suits but I also helped people design proper zoot suits, fencing inspired coats, frock coats and all sorts of silhouettes using the made to measure system alongside talented tailors who could help bring garments from design and made by the manufacturer to actually fitting and looking the way the customer wants. Managing expectations of customers and letting them use my brain to best design something that is uniquely them, it made me want to learn more to give them more tools. I endlessly chase knowledge because I genuinely love clothes that use good fabric, good construction and are made to be used and last a long time. I hope I can continue that journey with you.
