"In these uncertain economic times, when a Brioni suit costs $5000, and a Savile Row tailored suit will set you back $7000, a bespoke suit from Johnathan Behr, starting around $1895, is an unparalleled value in tailor-made clothing."

"The word 'bespoke' means more than just custom-made. It is a distinct style viewpoint that is decidedly British and elegant. Think Cary Grant or the new James Bond, Daniel Craig"

  Welcome.

Thank you for your interest, my name is Johnathan Behr. I've been designing and selling custom-tailored business and formal attire to a diverse group of clients in Southern California and San Francisco since 1987.

The majority of my clients are businessmen and entrepreneurs who appreciate my unique personalized service and classic taste level. I make buying clothes easy for the man who hates to shop, or for the man who can't buy off the rack clothing. I bring the store to you!

Appointments can be conducted either in the privacy of your own home or office. I also have a comfortable office in Pasadena where we can meet.

Home meetings can be the most beneficial because it allows you, the client, to show me your existing wardrobe. Together, we can determine what is working for you and what holes need to be filled in. It also gives you the opportunity to convey the style you like best. Even your favorite suit can be copied and made into a new fabric.

"I make buying clothes easy for the man who hates to shop, doesn't have the time, or can't buy off the rack clothing."

I will show you a comprehensive collection of the highest quality suit, sportcoat, slack and shirt fabrics from well-known mills such as Ermengildo Zegna, Lora Piana, Gladson, Holland & Sherry as well as my own collection of fabrics. I will personally help you select the perfect materials that meet your requirements for color, weight and durability. I will then take your measurements and design and custom-make your new suit, jacket or dress shirts in the style and fit that lets you go out into the business/social world with the utmost confidence.

What they're saying about Johnathan Behr:
"From the natural-shouldered, waist suppressed suits worn by Clark Gable and The Duke of Windsor in the 1930's, to the boxier look of Humphrey Bogart and Desi Arnaz of the 1950's, to the slimmed down silhouttes of the 1960's favored by JFK and Steve McQueen, Johnathan Behr knows and understands classic men's fashion. Most importantly, he can re-create these timeless suit styles to perfection in the fabric of your choice!"

Tailored clothes

"There was a time not so long ago that a man's tailor was every bit as important and trusted as his relationship with his attorney, doctor or financial advisor. Successful men know that nothing beats a well-made custom suit for appearance, fit and quality."

Single Breasted Suite with Vest
The classic 3-piece suit
makes a stunning comeback.


"As a designer my specialty is classic, elegant and conservative. Picture Michael Douglas in Wall Street, or Pierce Brosnan in The Thomas Crown Affair."

Because all of my clothing is custom-made, you can be assured of a perfect fit as well as the appropriate style, or cut, for your particular needs. I can do any style you want, but as a designer my specialty is classic, elegant and conservative. Picture Cary Grant in North by Northwest, Michael Douglas in Wall Street, or Pierce Brosnan in The Thomas Crown Affair.

If you like clothes from Ralph Lauren / Purple Label, Brioni, Isia, Oxxford Clothes, Burberry, Hickey-Freeman, Kiton, Zegna or Paul Smith, you will love what I I will make for you!

"Exceptional quality, reasonable prices and a timely delivery."

The best part of my service though is my reasonable prices and a timely delivery. A custom suit typically takes only 3-4 weeks on your first order, and during that time I will schedule one or two "basted fittings" to insure a perfect fit. This is not "made-to-measure" garbage slapped together in a Hong Kong sweatshop. What I do is true custom-made, complete with your own paper pattern that I keep on file and adjust based upon any change in your measurements. Once I have a pattern for you, suits can be turned around in 15 to 20 days.


The reason I can work so fast is all of my clothing is made here locally by some of the finest craftsmen in the business. All of my jackets are completely hand-sewn with a "full-canvas front", Bemberg linings and working sleeve buttonholes. Even a personalized label with your name comes with your new suit or jacket!

Custom Made Suit
The 1/4 inch machine-stitch on this peak lapel cotton suit adds a casual elegance.


Over the years my celebrity clients have included Fritz Coleman, Frankie Avalon, Henry Winkler, Hal Linden, NBA superstar Reggie Miller and Fleetwood Mac's Mick Fleetwood. I also designed John Cusack's wardrobe for the hit movie, "Con-Air".


There was a time not so long ago that a man's tailor was every bit as important and trusted as his relationship with his attorney, doctor or financial advisor. Successful men know that nothing beats a well-made custom suit for appearance, fit and quality. The new economy is dead. Business casual is on the outs. Men are "suiting up" again for business. The shrewd professional is now paying a lot closer attention to his working wardrobe and the image it needs to convey. It's time to get dressed! If you love personal service and you need help with your wardrobe, someone that can put it all together for you, I'm your man.

"If you are getting married, or have a special occasion that requires a gorgeous tuxedo, elegant evening suit, or perhaps something more unique, call me today to discuss your ideas. I will work with you to create the perfect outfit for your next big event."

"Don't just buy clothes. Have your clothes custom-designed and made in the style you prefer, with a fit you could never replicate from "off the rack" clothing. You deserve nothing less than the best."
