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 world-renowned mills including Loro Piana, Gladson, Dormeuil, Carnet, and many more — with a constantly rotating and expanding selection — SHAO brings together advanced textile innovation and time-honored craftsmanship. Each custom garment is made to balance comfort, performance, and lasting wardrobe value.
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.

Fabric & Details
Explore our fabric library and select your silhouette, lining, buttons, and finishing details. Every choice is yours.
Pattern & Fittings
Over 45 measurements guide your individual pattern. Through fittings, we refine the proportions, movement, and feel.
Your Finished Piece
Your garment is completed with final refinements and alterations included. Something made entirely for you.
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
FAQ
SHAO Bespoke is our fully custom garment and bespoke tailoring service, where every 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 entire process remotely through virtual consultations and fittings via Zoom. Our team guides you through fabrics, trims, and design details to develop a bespoke suit, custom dress, or tailored garment that reflects your exact vision.
Where time allows, we offer a complimentary muslin fitting to test the pattern before cutting into your final luxury fabric — ensuring a perfect result. Alterations are included as part of every bespoke commission.
SHAO Bespoke is chosen for red carpet appearances, high-profile events, and private occasions by clients for whom looking extraordinary is simply expected.
Clients select from an exclusive library of luxury textiles sourced from world-renowned mills including Loro Piana, Gladson, Dormeuil, Carnet — to name a few — with many, many more and a constantly rotating, ever-expanding selection of the finest cloths available.
Our bespoke fabric library spans premium wools, Super 120s to Super 150s, cashmeres, silks, fine linens, and specialty performance fabrics — each chosen for drape, structure, and long-term wearability befitting true custom suiting and luxury tailoring.
We also offer vegan and sustainable fabric options. Custom lining, monogramming, embellishments, and bespoke design details can be incorporated into any commission.
Custom bespoke garments typically require 10–12 weeks from consultation to delivery, depending on design complexity, fabric availability, and fitting schedule.
For clients with upcoming events or tight timelines, expedited production under 4 weeks is available for select projects with a rush fee. Contact us to discuss your timeline before booking.
Yes — alterations are included as part of every SHAO Bespoke commission. Each garment is a one-of-a-kind piece created specifically for you, and we stand behind the fit completely.
Where time allows, we offer a complimentary muslin fitting — a test garment made in an inexpensive fabric to verify the pattern and proportions before cutting into your final luxury cloth. This extra step ensures there are no surprises at the final fitting.
Complimentary adjustments are provided within one month of delivery to ensure the garment meets our standards. Additional refinements beyond that window can be completed through our in-house alteration service.
Because each piece is made-to-order from scratch, returns are not accepted once production has begun.
