About Black Lapel

Founded in 2012, Black Lapel is an online custom tailor for men. The New York-based direct-to-consumer fashion startup delivers impeccably-tailored, made-to-measure suits, blazers, slacks and shirts to a clientele around the world.

Black Lapel’s direct-to-consumer platform is making custom suiting more accessible to men than ever before.

I first interviewed Black Lapel’s co-founders in September 2012, at a time when there were a number of online custom tailors getting off the ground.

Over the past decade, I’ve had a chance to wear six of their custom suits, visit Black Lapel’s showroom in New York City and speak with Co-Founder Derek Tian about the company’s struggles amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Black Lapel has become my go-to destination for online custom suiting, and is one of my favorite menswear brands.

As I wrote in my review of Black Lapel’s suiting:

The great promise is that there is a company out there who can nail it, crafting a suit that – with a few adjustments here and there – fits better and is less costly than marked-up off-the-rack fashion labels. 

Black Lapel has fulfilled that promise several times over and produced suits that feel complete, personal, and like a suit ought to fit — much more than the sum of its parts.

Black Lapel 9th Birthday Sale

To celebrate its 9th birthday, Black Lapel is having a sale, taking up to $500 its top-of-the-line Savoy lineup. Black Lapel’s Savoy Line are crafted from fabrics made from renowned Italian mills Guabello and Vitale Barberis Canonico.

While I think Black Lapel’s house fabrics are terrific for everyday suiting, there is something special about the Super 150s fabrics from these mills.

For spring, I’m particularly partial to their Egyptian Blue suit (pictured above) made from a a blend of wool, silk and linen from E. Thomas, an historic Italian mill founded by Ernesto Thomas in 1922.

The light-yet-understated textured fabric is a versatile option for the new normal. The jacket can dressed down as a blazer with jeans or chinos, or dressed up for a suit. It features medium brown bull horn buttons and half canvas construction. The Egyptian blue suit is on sale for $800.
