Step Into A Fit That Is Truly Yours
Made For You
While the world wears brands, you wear something made for you. True luxury is developed privately, with attention to your proportions, posture, and way of moving.
Commissioned With Purpose
At SHAO, each garment is made for one client at a time. Every piece begins from the ground up, shaped through fabric, fit, construction, and the life it is meant to serve.
The Finest Materials
Working with refined mills including Loro Piana and Zegna, SHAO brings together advanced textile innovation and time-honored craftsmanship. Each garment is made to balance comfort, performance, and longevity.
Beyond Occasion Wear
This is not limited to formalwear. From elevated daily tailoring to complete wardrobe development, each commission is designed to support a client’s life across many settings, from private engagements to the most visible rooms.
A considered process, start to finish
WHY TAILORING
Tailoring is my roots and my core. More than ten years ago I built a successful tailoring house — it is where the heart and pulse of SHAO began.
I grew up inside the craft. Every Lunar New Year, my grandfather would commission a tailor to make custom pieces for our whole family. The fittings, the fabrics, the feeling of something made entirely for me — that ritual is what inspired SHAO Bespoke.
That is why I tailor: so each client wears something that reveals them, never convention.
— Shao Yang, Founder
OUR ATELIER
FAQ
SHAO Bespoke is our fully custom garment service, where each piece is designed and created specifically for you. The process includes over 45 precise measurements, design consultations using visual reference boards, technical specifications, pattern development, and full garment construction.
Clients may visit our atelier at 511 Canal Street, New York, or complete the process remotely through virtual consultations and fittings via Zoom. Our team will guide you through fabrics, trims, and design details to develop a garment tailored to your vision.
SHAO Bespoke is often chosen for red carpet, editorial, special occasion pieces, and elevated wardrobe staples.
Clients can select from an extensive library of fabrics sourced from renowned mills including Loro Piana, Vitale Barberis Canonico, Dormeuil, Huddersfield, Style Biella, and Escorial.
Our house fabrics range from Super 120s to Super 150s wool, alongside premium Italian silks, wedding fabrics, and shirting from Thomas Mason, Albini, and Loro Piana.
We also offer vegan and ethical fabric options, including 100% bamboo. Custom printing, dyeing, embellishments, and specialized design elements can be incorporated depending on the garment.
Bespoke garments typically require 10–12 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and fabric selection.
For select projects, rush production under 4 weeks may be available with an additional rush fee.
Each SHAO Bespoke garment is a one-of-a-kind piece created specifically for the client, and therefore cannot be returned once production has begun.
Complimentary adjustments are provided within one month of delivery to ensure the garment meets our standards. Additional refinements can be completed through our in-house alteration service.
