Our designers learn about the role each garment is to play in your life. We explore and select fabrics based on your individual style and needs. We take measurements for each item and a paper pattern is hand-drawn that reflects the style, shape and aesthetic of your garment. Your clothing begins to come to life when the cloth is blade-cut by hand from the initial paper pattern.
Our initial fitting, construction and final fitting allow the garment to be balanced and shaped, critical steps for the perfect fit. From our downtown Chicago shop or the comfort of your home or office, our designers, master tailors and shirt makers work with you to create the ideal wardrobe - garments of distinction that you've been waiting to wear!

The Richard Bennett team is phenomenal to work with. I ordered my first custom tailored dress shirts with them and I could not be more pleased. Aside from the product coming out exactly as I imagined, the team communicates well, is friendly, and genuinely cares about their customers. Looking forward to many more experiences here.

Everyone at Richard Bennett Custom Tailors was unbelievably helpful and I could not be happier with my experience there. As a PE teacher whose everyday wardrobe is on the opposite end of the spectrum, they did an amazing job guiding me through everything and making me feel comfortable! William assisted me in picking out a great looking sport coat which Albert helped fit me with perfectly. The tailoring and craftsmanship was impeccable and done in a very timely manner. I can not recommend this place enough and will be going back.

I just used Richard Bennett Custom Tailors for the first time, and I am impressed. Their staff of experts is professional, personable, and the workmanship is impeccable. I brought an odd project— a cool pair of pants from a 60 year-old wool suit that needed to be brought into the 21st century.
Massive surgery was skillfully and swiftly conducted at a reasonable cost, and now I have a modern version of a “Mad Men” style suit that is truly one of a kind. I’m headed back soon to have some shirts made.
Go see these fine people!

Amazing service for custom
creations. They completely capture my vision in creating a beautiful Christening outfit for my son by adding hand-stitched lace from my wedding dress. I wanted a sentimental piece that could be used as a family heirloom. Mission accomplished. It is so beautiful -- they definitely exceeded my expectations. The time, care and love that went into creating something special was outstanding. I couldn't be more please and will definitely return to Richard Bennett for all my tailoring and custom design needs. Happy happy customer!! Pic to come...,

What a fantastic experience! Cathy was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, and the tailor herself was awesome! They made me a suit EXACTLY to my specifications, and it fits my body perfectly! Not only that, but they allowed me to pay in monthly installments, which was incredibly helpful. I am definitely returning to get another custom made suit. 👍

I had a great experience at Richard Bennett Custom Tailors. Went there to get fitted for a suit for my brothers wedding. Cathy was very helpful and very friendly. I have worn that suit on several occasions after the wedding and have constantly gotten compliments on it. Definitely going back for another one.

When my wife and I decided to get married, being one of two brides, I knew I wanted to wear a white suit versus a dress to fit my taste and style. The challenge being female wanting to wear a suit was that I was looking for a feminine, sexy and sleek suit that fit my body and was age appropriate. I did not want to wear a men's suit as it's just not me.
After searching online from other vendors and ordering dozens of suits my frustration grew rapidly. The pants fit but the jacket didn't or vice versa. The style made me look much older than I am. The waist was too high, etc. I came to the conclusion
