a rich history

Since launching his custom clothing business over thirty years ago, author and designer Alan Flusser has been widely acclaimed as one of the world’s preeminent authorities on classic men’s style. His best-selling books such as Dressing the Man continue to illuminate generations of men seeking the promise of permanent style.

THe Debut

1986: The Alan Flusser Custom Shop debuts. Club elegance, custom clothes, haberdashery galore. The Promise - crafting one-of-a-kind clothing with ten-plus years of fashion longevity. House Style - Savile Row-inspired drape cut with athletic torso and elongating leg line. Town & Country calls it the “Best Little Men’s Shop in the World.” Random House publishes Flusser’s second book Clothes and the Man.



Wall Street

1987: “Wall Street” opens and the world comes looking for Gordon Gekko - pin stripes, peaked lapels, pleats, braces, cuffs and… horizontal-striped dress shirts.



The Saks Years

1993 to 2001: Overlooking Rockefeller Center, Christmas tree lighting parties, the bench-made shoe collection, bucking up against the Saks bureaucracy. 1996 Harper Collins publishes Flusser’s third book, Style and The Man.



Back Home

2002 to 2010: Return to private retail at 3 East 48th, more salon than store. 2002, Harper Collins publishes the industry’s definitive treatise on men’s style: Flusser’s fourth book Dressing the Man. 2008, the new silhouette - a high-strung, trimmer touch-fit without tightness version of the Flusser house style.



Moving Forward

2010 to Current: Alan Flusser returns as central figure. Continuing the assurance of combining the finest taste level with the highest quality tailoring. The introduction of Made-to-Measure and women's bespoke collections. Besting the Promise - teaching which suit cut and colors, collar scale and tie knot, best complement each individual's unique physique and complexion - and why.
