James, a master tailor, combines his passion for athletics and formal wear to create one-of-a-kind custom suits. Unlike traditional office attire, James' suits stand out, particularly in their innovative approach to sizing for women, transgender individuals, and those who don't conform to traditional gender norms.
As a former four-sport athlete, James draws inspiration from the silhouettes, color palettes, construction techniques, and practicality of sportswear, seamlessly blending the contrasting worlds of sport and formal wear with every stitch. His ultimate goal is to prioritize his clients' needs, ensuring that their suit effectively communicates their identity to the world, while striking a delicate balance between sophistication and fun.
Among his favorite designs is the Utility Grandma Vest, a functional yet stylish garment that embodies James' unique approach. This "fly-fishing vest meets French Victorian couch" creation features numerous pockets, crafted from burnt orange velvet upholstery fabric, effortlessly merging two seemingly disparate elements.
