Operating by appointment only, owner Doug Rosenblum regularly travels the country to fit athletes, politicians and celebrities in his refined, modernized hand-stitched suits ($1,500–$4,000). C. Oliver Custom has quickly gained popularity since it opened in 2002—especially with the Hamptons set. We’re willing to bet that has something to do with the atelier’s signature use of colorful fabrics on the underside of collars, a touch that makes them practically begging to be popped. Clients can choose fabrics from high-end mills such as Dormeuil, Loro Piana, Zegna and Gladson, and since Rosenblum relies on a team of local tailors to ensure garments are produced entirely in New York, they’ll receive the finished product in about five weeks.
