Michael Andrews is an engineer by training and a lawyer by trade. As a corporate attorney, he saw firsthand how dressing well gave people a competitive edge, and in 2006, he founded Michael Andrews Bespoke to build custom clothing his way. Today, MAB operates two New York studios, in NoHo and Midtown.

Michael Andrews Bespoke began with a simple frustration.

As a young attorney, Michael wore a suit every day. Yet despite trying tailor after tailor, he could never quite find what he was looking for. The fit wasn’t right. The experience wasn’t right. The result wasn’t right.

So he decided to build something better.

An engineer by training and a lawyer by trade, Michael approached menswear the same way he approached every challenge: with curiosity, rigor, and an unwillingness to accept “good enough.” What began as a personal pursuit led him to study tailoring and ultimately establish Michael Andrews Bespoke in 2006.

Twenty years later, that pursuit has grown into one of the world’s premier custom tailoring houses. The people featured throughout this book are its truest measure—not only clients, but friends, collaborators, partners, and members of a community brought together by a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, individuality, and the belief that details matter.

The pursuit continues. Because building something better is never finished.
