Co-founder, Jayme Mendal: “This all started when I was shopping for a leather weekender bag and couldn’t find a nice one for under $1,000. I got together with my brother, Abram, who worked in the leather business, and asked him what it would cost to have one made for me with the nicest leather, lining and hardware out there…turned out it was a small fraction of what all the existing brands and retailers were charging. With that, we saw an opportunity to deliver luxury quality leather goods at significantly more affordable prices. So, I conducted a study while at school and we put together a simple new retail model, which allows us to deliver world-class quality stuff at mainstream prices. And we’re excited to share this with the Boston community through our partnership with 9tailors!”

Meet Patrick: "Dress to Fit the Setting"

Whenever Patrick visits the 9tailors studio, the good-natured gent is always clothed well. As he discusses below, he's not one for under-dressing nor over-dressing, but he has a intuitive knack for looking the part and getting it right.

A linen sports coat and cotton pants are must-haves for Spring and Summer: they're lightweight, fashionable, and follow trend without overdoing it. Patrick's light blue blazer has a half self-lining, an option we at 9tailors especially recommend for summer style. Don't be scared of linen and cotton because they wrinkle easily! And what you see here are separates: we offer full linen and cotton suits in a variety of colors.

How long have you been a 9tailors client?

2 years

Why choose custom?

I don't exactly have the "off the rack" body type. I like to have everything just the right length. I would end up getting everything I bought tailored anyway, so getting things custom-made makes sense for me.

What/who inspires your style? Why?

I wouldn't say something or someone specific inspires my style but I like to dress to fit the setting. I generally get ideas in magazines or online. There are definitely certain stores sites that I look at frequently.

What is your favorite piece from 9tailors?

I like them all but I probably wear my blue gingham shirt with the pink color inlay the most.

What would be your style advice to other men in your professional field?
I'm not a big fan of business casual but I understand that it is pretty much the norm now. I would say leave the polo shirts for the golf course and barbeques and wear button-down shirts to the workplace. Always have a blazer or suit coat with you, as well.


Right on.

Gifts for Father's Day?

What to buy for the man who has it all? Let's face it, patriarchs are hard to shop for, especially when they are refined, particular sticklers for what they like. Esquire has given some helpful hints to what may make the most stylish fathers swoon. Still stumped looking for items to get Dad for Father's Day? Enter 9tailors. Think custom.

If you didn't know about our Buy 3, Get 1 Free promotion this month, it's still going on through the end of June! You're giving Dad the freedom to design his own shirts and choose his own fabrics.  Spare yourself the frantic guesswork of choosing something you "think" he'll like. Rather than eyeing which off-the-rack shirt could fit him, you're purchasing a shirt that will fit him...very well, indeed. Personalized gifts make that much more of an impact anyway.  Thoughtfulness is the best present someone can receive! Not to mention, once we have the measurements of the father(s) in your life, he'll finally own a shirt that fits his proportions.

And don't forget about the other items we offer here in the 9tailors studio. Sterling Kane leather goods, made-to-order! Premium leather in exquisite quality at affordable prices. Or if you're buying the customary Father's Day tie, why not throw in a tie thing for good measure? It's a nifty little accessory that keeps ties in their proper place as well as a handy contraption for guys on the go. OooTie Bow ties and Dressed By CC pocket squares also available for purchase!

Still can't decide what to get? Perhaps a suit or suit separate with a meaningful monogram embroidered inside? Gift certificates are also available. Visit the website or call us at the studio for more details. As always, feel free to email info@9tailors.com to make an appointment, with or for the special dad in your life.
