For most people who are not in the fashion business, the term Look Book can be pretty unfamiliar. Simply put it is a catalog of images illustrating the current styles for that season and we use them regularly in electronic form so that we can produce personalized collections for each client.

It’s not surprising that everyone identifies us with great fitting business attire.

Misconceptions about custom clothing are gaining traction, and there’s a reason: retailers want their customers to believe they’re getting more than they bargained for.

Better department stores now push “custom,” “made-to-order” and “made-to-mea...
