Mr James

Mr James is a true custom tailor in Playa del Rey, Los Angeles, making custom suits, bespoke suits and wedding suits for men who want clothing built around their own bodies. This is not off-the-rack and it is not a standard made-to-measure template. Every suit starts with a private consultation and a full set of measurements, and Mr James cuts an individual pattern for each client.

Clients choose from a house cloth collection and from respected mills including Loro Piana, Zegna, Holland & Sherry and Scabal. Mr James guides each decision, from cloth weight and color to lapel shape, buttons, pockets, lining and trouser details, so the finished suit suits the way you live and work. Suits are made at a partner atelier in France, and fittings take place at the studio at 221 Culver Blvd in Playa del Rey.

Grooms, groomsmen and fathers of the bride or groom come to Mr James for wedding suits and tuxedos that photograph well and feel comfortable through a long day. Professionals come for business suits that fit properly through the shoulders, chest and waist. Athletic, tall and big men come because ready-made suits rarely fit them well.

A custom suit usually takes 4 to 12 weeks from first fitting to final delivery, depending on cloth and details, so planning ahead for a wedding or event is wise. Pricing depends on the cloth and construction you choose and is priced at consultation. To get started, book a fitting online at bespokemrjames.com or call (310) 503-3592. Mr James serves Playa del Rey, Westchester, Marina del Rey, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Culver City and greater Los Angeles.
