b.spoke

Weeks ago I had the pleasure of experiencing b. spoke​and its meticulous tailors for the first time. Wow …
It all started when my GORUCK Brother Brandon Moody​shared a picture of his recent suit created by b. spoke and I was impressed. Brandon introduced me to Dave Welch​, Owner and Chief Visionary Officer at b. spoke, who set up my measurement appointment.
Josh Boudreau, my personal Clothier, welcomed me and took me on a tour of their location, passing by the pool table and making a stop at their top shelf selection of fine liquor. As Josh and I sat through their selection of fabrics, styles, I felt Josh gave me a great Suits 101 crash course.
Josh introduced me to Taylor Welch, Director of Clothier Support, who together with Josh double-​checked various measurements in order to cut a shirt and coat custom to me. I was impressed with the attention to detail by these two gentlemen.
A few weeks passed as my fitting day would be the first time I’ll have my very own b. spoke creation. I saw Josh and Taylor and the smiles on their faces signaled to me that I would be pleased… they did not disappoint.
Thank you, b. spoke, Dave, Josh, Taylor, and Brandon! My friends and associates will hear of b. spoke from this point forward, See you all again real soon!

b. spoke is simply amazing, and exactly what I think most guys are looking for when it comes to a custom tailor. The store is beautiful and has a modern, yet classic flavor to it which is what I wanted in a suit.
Dave Welch and Dan Faith are true professionals. I had the pleasure of working with both gentlemen. They are genuinely nice guys who care deeply about their customers. Because of them, I get nonstop compliments on my suits and color choices. Something minor did go wrong with my order, but I was absolutely blown away by how quickly they resolved it. They went above and beyond my expectations and have earned a customer for life.
Here is what I think b. spoke offers that I never seemed to get anywhere else:
— Options! Many of which are included!
— Custom experience with a friendly and no pressure approach.
— Help getting out of my color comfort zone (which paid off big time).
— Understanding suit options and price points without the awkward feeling that you are being judged about how much you can spend. Keep in mind you are paying for a quality, custom suit that will last.
Give this place a shot, you won’t regret it!

I’ve had a fantastic experience here. First rate service. Steve went out if his way to create an amazing tuxedo for me. Fit design and quality of materials are top notch.

By far the best looking and custom fitting suits I have ever owned. You can’t go back to the generic suits once you hop on board with these. Dan Faithe is a genius when it comes to clothing. I highly recommend anyone on going to this spot– you won’t be disappointed. The hospitality from the moment you step in to the moment you walk out in your custom threads is spot on. I’ve been back plenty of times to just relax, play pool, and drink a beer with the guys.

I had my first custom suit done with Steve Madrid. First of all, the suit feels and fits amazing. The entire experience, from the custom fitting and tailoring, to the fun of hanging around the showroom and picking out materials was a blast. The only drawback is that getting these suits can become addictive. I’ll be back for sure!
Go see Steve, even if it’s just to hang out and have a cocktail in the showroom.

I came to Dave at b. spoke looking for a suit for a new job. Dave took the time to understand my story (30 y/​o going to work in banking in New York) and helped me figure out exactly what I needed. We went with a versatile, classic look — not too outspoken — with a modern cut. Buying a custom suit can be intimidating, but Dave helped me understand the different fabrics, colors, and cuts as we discussed what I was looking for.
Once the suit was made we made a few alterations to get it just right, and I love the finished product — the quality and construction is top notch. Overall, I had a great experience with Dave and everyone at b. spoke and would definitely recommend going to see him.

B. Spoke is the perfect blend of good custom made clothing and a men’s hangout. While getting fitted for my awesome suit I also endulged in some whiskey and beer. This could be my new Friday hangout spot :)

Dave has always been a great tailor. With his b. spoke studio he’s taken things to a new level.
The fabric and pattern options are great and virtually endless. Each suit is made to measure and fits perfectly. As an added touch, suits can be customized with a unique liner, stich thread or button combo to give a truly signature look. All of this is packaged up in a studio with a cool vibe, helpful staff and solid whiskey selection.
I’ve purchased a half dozen or more suits from b. spoke and its hard to imagine using another tailor or going back to off the rack.

I had such a great experience working with Dave and his team on customizing my first suit. With my wedding day coming up, I knew I wanted to invest into something that wasn’t off the rack, and I’m happy that chose this route. The attention to detail and level of customer service that Dave and his team provide is top class.
From the width of my lapel to the cuff of my pant, Dave guided me through the entire process, and helped me construct my vision into a reality. If you ever need or want to invest in a custom suit, I would highly recommend B.Spoke.

I just picked up my custom suit. Steve, along with everyone else at B. Spoke did such an amazing job. They have such great attention to detail. I was able to customize everything about the suit from the stitching, buttons, liner, just to list a few. While they take our measurements my buddies and I hung out, drank whiskey and played pool. The final product fit like a glove. It’s honestly the most comfortable suit I have ever worn. The entire experience was first class. I’ve been spoiled and I don’t think I can buy a suit any other way.

I won a free custom suit from my company and these guys produced hands down the nicest suite I’ve ever owned. The quality and craftsman ship is second to none, the fabrics and their selection on all the different customizable options was not only an amazing experience but allowed me to choose from dozens if not hundreds of different options. Not to mention they take tons of measurements and the suite came out to fit like a glove. I got so many compliments and I’ve just owned it for one day. I highly recommend you go see these guys you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend to go See Steve for an amazing custom suite. Prices are extremely reasonable, I will never buy mass production store suits or shirts again. These guys are the real deal and once you try it you’ll be hooked!

This is my very first 5-​star review, and it’s with great reason! My reviews aren’t short, but if you want to know exactly what you can expect from B. Spoke then I encourage you to read on.
The most important day of my life, my wedding day, was on January 30, 2016. With such an important milestone in my life I knew that I wanted my attire to be as equally special as possible. I don’t have a tree in my backyard that grows money so I had never even thought about having anything custom made for me before. Frankly, for someone who likes to dress well, I am kicking myself for waiting this long to explore the option and have the experience. The entire process, A-​Z, was absolutely remarkable!
I specifically say «experience» because that’s truly what my designer, Dan Faithe, gave me. From our first phone call to discuss the general logistics through picking up my freshly pressed suit on the day-​of I was beyond well taken care of. Dan went above and beyond, and sincerely made sure that I was comfortable throughout the process, that I didn’t feel rushed or silly for asking questions, and most importantly that I was happy. Dan’s business, first and foremost, is building relationships with his clients, and from moment one I felt like part of his family.
During my first phone call with Dan we spoke about what I had imagined in my mind for what I would like to have made. I didn’t have a lot of the details ironed out in my head, because I knew that if I were to proceed that there would be countless options available to me while we built my suit together. With a vague idea of what I wanted laid out we discussed cost. Dan assured me that the budget I had in mind was absolutely something that he could work with. Again, I’m a 32 year old businessman that isn’t overflowing with money, but I do understand the cost of true value.
My first visit to B. Spoke left me grinning from ear to ear for hours after I had left. I was enthusiastically, and kindly greeted by Dan and was quickly offered a drink. B. Spoke has a very nice bar selection available to all of its clients. With a drink in hand Dan showed me around the shop and made sure I felt right at home. I wasn’t sure what to expect heading in for my first appointment, but their shop is stunning! All-​in-​all it’s a man cave equipped with multiple flat-​panel TV’s, pool table, lounge areas, etc. I was also beyond impressed with the displays that they have around the shop as well — I could spend hours just looking around at the samples. From there we sat down and chatted a bit more about my vision. It wasn’t long before the table we were sitting at was full of fabric samples from the finest mills in Italy. We chose the main fabric, liner, accent stitch coloring, and button types. Then we started talking about styling: lapels, vents, angle and positioning of pockets, how many pockets, functional this and that, types of collars and cuffs, accessories, etc. There is no limit to what Dan and B. Spoke can offer you — if you can think it they can build it. Dan offered his opinions, but in no way made me feel pressured to go along with anything if I wasn’t 100% on board. He’ll push your comfort levels with certain things which at first I wasn’t sure about, but when done are some of my most favorite features. Bottom line — Dan knows what he’s talking about, and you can be rest assured that you’re in great hands with him!
After the fun of all the selections were made we started the measuring process. You stand there for a while (drink in hand preferably) as they take measurement after measurement. Dan measured things that I didn’t even knew mattered when building a suit. The take away for me was that I knew everything was going to fit like a glove, and being that my suit color was black it needed to have an impeccable fit.
A few short weeks later my attire had arrived. When I arrived it felt as though the shop was set up for my arrival. Drinks were ready if I wanted (I did), and my suit was perfectly laid out for me to soak in and enjoy all the details. Dan took what I thought was going to be an incredible suit even further by adding some personal touches to the garments. Things that you would never know were there unless I chose to show them off — like my name on the inside of my suit breast, «I DO!» stitched under the collar of the jacket since Dan knew this was for my wedding. Everything was exactly how I wanted it and more. The fitting went so well with their master tailor too. There was an adjustment here and there that needed to be done, and they were done by the next day!
Dan stopped at nothing to make sure that the entire experience for me was special. Even to the point of offering to come to the wedding venue to tie our bowties (which I had custom made by B. Spoke for all of my groomsmen) if needed. As long as this review is it doesn’t start to envelope my experience. B. Spoke, but more specifically Dan, has a customer for life.

Dave and his team of custom clothiers offer the best in bespoke suiting and shirting. After picking up my first 3 piece, after wearing it out to an event in Coto De Caza, I received a compliment within 3 minutes. Each fitting totaling only 2, was handled with the utmost professionalism, and courtesy, and accompanied by my favorite Stone IPA as well. He is currently working on my 2^nd masterpiece and a handful of shirts for me, and I can’t wait to see what him and his team are able to craft up for me. I rely on Dave and his team to keep me in the highest quality fabrics through my busy work week and he does an amazing job. My clothier for life.

If you want the best in men’s custom clothes then make an appointment with b.spoke. I had them make some custom tailored clothes for me and the whole experience was amazing.
I get so many complements and people constantly ask where I got my clothes from. They are an awesome company and I highly recommend them! If you want the best then you need to call them.

This place is amazing! They have a full bar, which comes in handy while you’re looking at swatches and getting measured. Overall, their service and sense of style was very helpful for me. I will no longer shop at department stores for dress clothes that will never fit as well as B. Spoke fitting.
I highly recommend this place to anyone that enjoys quality clothes that fits perfectly to them.

Apart from Dave being a great guy, he helps you decide on what looks great on you! Its an amazing experience from the measuring to delivery of these amazing pieces. Thank you Dave! I always have the best looking suit in the room.

I had done business with Dave previously before he formed b.spoke. I was pleased when I learned that he had set up his own haberdashery (use the dictionary kids). The quality of b. spoke’s fabrics is excellent, but the real magic is in the tailoring, which they execute to perfection. The attention to detail and the focus on both fit and comfort make b. spoke’s clothing items favorites in my closet. You can pay more for off-​the-​rack but why do so for lesser quality? Once you get a custom garment from Dave and his team you will wonder how you ever wore anything but the best. And the customer service is top notch as well, from the initial measurements to the after-​sale follow-​up from Dave and Kim who truly do want you to look and feel your best in their clothing.

Dave and Kim have been «styling me» for almost 10 years. In addition to being great people, the experience of working with them is fun and always high quality. They have access the best fabrics (Loro Piana, Zegna, Gladston, etc) and have a great sense of style. I especially like that now that they have my sizing perfect, buying new suits and shirts is as easy as picking out new materials and tweaking details like lapels, buttons, etc. to stay fashion up to date.

I looked like a million bucks on ABC, NBC and CNN news interviews and viewing audiences have commented on the custom clothing from b.spoke. This is my first custom suit! What an incredible difference! In the past, I only bought suits at Nordstrom and had them tailored. Honestly, there’s no comparison.
Everything fit exceptionally well and I was grateful for color and fabric experts to assure a look that best compliments my skin tone and body.

In addition to creating a very relaxed environment, Dave’s team is great at helping you find and manifest your inner style through custom fit clothing. My dated formal and business casual wear had been hodge-​podged and piece-​mealed together over the years with nothing weaving it together.
After hearing about who I was and what I liked, Dave’s team suggested ensembles I would never have considered, but actually really enjoyed once I saw the swatches come together. They had different fabric price points from various brands and regions of the world, but ultimately I was able to get a couple suits, six shirts, a sport coat, pants, and shoes which altogether created a ton of functional combinations. Even though everything was soon to be customized according to my measurements, I probably spent about the same as I would’ve in a nicer department store.
If you need somewhat of a makeover and are tired of the patchwork wardrobe, go see Dave’s team. They’re not just custom tailors, they’re fashion advisors!
