Bespoke clothing is traditionally cut from a pattern drafted from scratch for the customer, and so differs from ready-to-wear, which is factory made in finished condition and standardized sizes, and from made to measure, produced to order from an adjusted block pattern.
Between the extremes of bespoke and ready-to-wear, there has existed since the end of the 19th century a "grey area of garments for which the customer was measured, but that was then made up to the closest standard size, often, but by no means always, in a factory." Read more

Rossi is a rare find, very skilled and experienced men's tailor - probably one of the best tailors in the entire state. It is not cheap but you get exactly what you pay for: superior quality and expert advice. Good bespoke tailoring is a lost art and I couldn't be happier to have discovered Rossi. Highly recommended.

Being that this was my first time getting an alteration done in New York City, I had no clue what I was looking for. I turned to Yelp to find the place that did quality work yet still did not require me to leave the couch for too long. Found these guys only a few blocks away. I went in last week and was in and out in 5 minutes as they took some measurements. Came back today with both pairs of pants I had shortened. They look awesome, I would highly recommend them in the future!

Got a very nice custom jacket here after having gone to Rossi for a while for alterations. I couldn't be happier with the result. Worth the price given the fantastic final product and the care put into the garment. Truly high end, classic tailoring. Highly recommended.

Rossi is amazing and a true "old school" Italian tailor. Although he is not cheap by any means he is excellent. He makes true bespoke suits, which I see his progress on with each visit. He alters all of my husbands suits and clothing. I used Rossi to alter one of my wedding dresses (a shorter one for the reception) and my rehearsal dinner dress and they turned out amazing!!
