ABOUT MASTER TAILOR & MENSWEAR DESIGNER - DAVID REEVES
David Reeves, the creator and proprietor of REEVES, is a Savile Row veteran, master tailor, and menswear designer with 25+ years of experience and an expert eye for cut and design.
David began getting his own suits custom made for himself as a teenager before he even started in the industry. As a young Graphic Arts student at Leeds Metropolitan, David was quickly swept up by the world of fine tailoring joining the Savile Row house Gieves & Hawkes at the age of 19
Despite earning his graphic arts degree David stayed in the tailoring business for the next 10 years, paying his dues and working his way up. He worked for many influential names in the UK and U.S.A such as Richard James of Savile Row, Prada, Commes Des Garcons and finally Timothy Everest where he served as bespoke house manager. His roles where always client facing and he was entrusted to deal with many high profile clients including two British Prime Ministers, members of the English Aristocracy, and "Pop Royalty" such as Elton John, Bryan Ferry, Nick Cave and Paul McCartney.
In 2009 at the age of 30 he decided to establish his own business in New York.
15 years later house REEVES is considered amongst the finest tailoring houses in the world quietly standing behind its unmatched craftsmanship, design and service.
ABOUT REEVES
Reeves is a small family-owned business that produces around 300 bespoke suits per year, we are focused on quality Bespoke work exclusively, so we do not offer Made to Measure (MTM), shirts or accessories, rather we simply strive to make the finest Bespoke suits anywhere in the world.
To this end David Reeves searches out and works with the very best cutters, tailors and finishers locally in NYC holding them to exceptionally high standards of production not often seen in the modern world. His fabrics and materials used are always the very best with "standard" cloths being high end cloths such as Loro Piana Tasmanian, Zegna Trofeo and Dormeuil Amadeus.
David has an extremely hands-on approach with his team and clients, he is involved in every aspect of production and works to form a longstanding relationship with everyone of his clients.
The "house style" is unapologetically English with a strong Savile Row and usually more subtle Modernist influence, by constantly seeking out innovative and luxurious cloths we also have a creative and directional finish.

THE BESPOKE DETAILS
Though the term bespoke is unfortunately commonly used to describe garments that are anything but (though you can usually gather this from the deceptively low pricing) —
REEVES practices the art of a truly bespoke suit from start to finish.
