A RICH HISTORY

THE DEBUT

1986: The Alan Flusser Custom Shop debuts. Club elegance, custom clothes, haberdashery galore. The Promise – crafting one-of-a-kind clothing with ten-plus years of fashion longevity. House Style – Savile Row-inspired drape cut with athletic torso and elongating leg line. Town & Country calls it the Best Little Men’s Shop in the World. “Wall Street” movie opens and the world comes looking for Gordon Gekko – pin stripes, peaked lapels, pleats, braces, cuffs and horizontal-striped dress shirts.

THE SAKS YEARS

1993 to 2001: Overlooking Rockefeller Center, Christmas tree lighting parties, the bench-made shoe collection, bucking up against the Saks bureaucracy. 1996 Harper Collins publishes Flusser’s third book, Style and The Man.

BACK HOME

The 2000’s: Return to private retail at 3 East 48th, more salon than store. Flusser releases his fourth book and the industry’s definitive treatise on men’s style: Dressing the Man. We introduce the new silhouette – “updated drape” with a trimmer torso and leg-line while retaining the easy elegance of soft construction and ease in the chest and back blades. The introduction of our women’s custom tailoring Flusser Femme.

MOVING FORWARD

2020: Long-time associate Jonathan Sigmon takes over the business as Alan retires. Our focus continues to be on combining the finest taste level with the highest quality tailoring. Beyond making great clothes, we teach which garment cut and colors best complement each individual's unique physique and complexion – and why.
