Saad's Tailors, Houston

Since 1971, the purr of shears and the hush of tailor’s chalk have filled Saad's Tailors. The clothiers there draw on four decades of wisdom as they stitch bespoke menswear with yards of luxurious English and Italian fabrics from the same producers used by Savile Row and Marco Polo. Each custom-made suit flatters the wearer with classic elements of European style, from hand-sewn buttonholes of silk thread to linings made from fine cloth. The master tailors maintain all paper cuttings and exact measurements on file for future orders or when all of your clones get invited to the same cocktail party. Amid luxurious racks of ties, sartorial experts thoroughly inspect each handmade suit, pair of hand-stitched slacks, and monogrammed dress shirt. They also update men's, women's, and children's clothing, with alteration services such as simple seam adjustments, zipper attachments, and dress re-cutting.
