Alton Lane seems to cater to all men in any body shape. I was impressed that they had samples for men like me who aren’t model-thin, adding to the experience of luxury for any guy who walks into their business. Once back and awaiting my shirt, I received a handwritten note from the Charlottesville showroom in which they thanked me for coming in, wished me luck, and even remembered that I was going to visit Duck Donuts! I was told would be ready in 4 to 6 weeks, and they delivered early.
When I finally received notice that my custom shirt had arrived, I booked my appointment and then was off to the Charlottesville location for the fitting. Walking in a second time was much less intimidating. Now
Not only the perk of a custom garment, but the attention to detail and relationship you can build with their employees will create an amazing experience. Give them a try—I know for sure I will be back!
having met Benjamin and Vincent before, it really was like walking in to talk with old friends. They pulled my shirt and after a quick once over I was trying it on. It fit seamlessly and I was so pleased with the fit, the feel, and the overall quality, I couldn’t stop looking at myself in the mirror.
After a great conversation filled with references for future desserts and hearing more about their lives and the regular days of working in Alton Lane, I started planning to save for future pieces from Alton Lane. If you are in the market for some custom menswear, or womenswear (I was filled in they have done some women’s blazers by tweaking the pattern), I highly suggest you at least stop in to check out their closest location to you.
