Scarborough Custom Tailoring makes custom wedding suits, tuxedos and dinner jackets at its Post Street showroom in San Francisco, by appointment. Founder Christian Gardner, a Bay Area native who has worked in custom menswear since 2008, meets every groom himself and stays with him from the first appointment to the final fitting.
Most of the work is semi-bespoke, cut from a pattern made for you, with full bespoke available for those who want it. Every piece is made in fine European cloth and chosen for the wedding you’re actually having, from a summer ceremony outdoors to black tie in the city. Christian dresses the whole wedding party, groomsmen and fathers included. Out-of-town groomsmen can meet him over Zoom and send their measurements.
Plan on at least 10 weeks before the wedding for semi-bespoke and 12 weeks for bespoke, which adds a muslin fitting. A three-week rush is offered when the schedule allows, for an additional charge. Semi-bespoke suits start at $2,200 and bespoke at $3,200. Custom shirts, shoes and accessories complete the look. Clients in Los Angeles and Orange County can book fittings at home during Christian’s monthly visits.
Scarborough has been featured in Modern Luxury San Francisco’s “The 6 Best Bespoke Suits in San Francisco” and in the Nob Hill Gazette.
