Beyond Bespoke was established in 2006 in Midtown Manhattan by Nick Torres, a third-generation tailor. Today, Mr. Torres employs a staff of 13 master tailors, all with at least a quarter-century of experience, as well as a seamstress. Together, they dress refined men according to time-honored standards in an ever-accelerating culture, whether it be in their Midtown studio or their clients’ offices or homes. A bespoke suit is designed with only its owner in mind. The process of creating it, however long-established, should be every bit as accommodating.

Meet Nick
With his father always in the back of his mind, Mr. Torres personally tends to an increasingly loyal clientele.
About Beyond Bespoke
Nick Torres grew up with a tape measure draped around his neck. His father drew him to his side as a young child so that he could have an unimpeded view of what he did – and what his father before him had done – for a living. What remains with him, foremost, from those earliest, foreign moments was his father’s demeanor: gracious, patient, focused.
At 19, already with years of tailoring beneath him, Mr. Torres opened Beyond Bespoke in a Midtown storefront just large enough to accommodate himself, a fellow tailor, and a single client at a time. He dedicated it to his father, who never had a shop of his own.
Today, Mr. Torres and the Beyond Bespoke studio exude a sense of permanence. He’s not yet 40, but he’s already been at this for more than two decades. Mr. Torres traces his staying power to thoughtfully embracing every decision, whether it’s selecting a statement lining for a new suit or designing his own formal and evening-wear label.

What to Expect
If you’re a first-time client, Mr. Torres will start by asking what you like to wear – and what a slightly bolder version of yourself would look like. “What I want to try to do is challenge you,” he says. “And every time you come in, I’m going to try to challenge you a little bit more.”
As an expert clothier, he can show you how to play up your favorite features and work around those nagging insecurities.
From there, Mr. Torres will select several swatches from an inventory of thousands of fabrics that he feels align best with your needs – and wants – for the garment. And then the true fun begins. If you’re shopping for a suit, you’ll be asked to consider if you want a two- or a three-piece, double vents or one, notch lapels or peak. It may sound overwhelming, but you’ll have a veteran navigator by your side.
Once the suit is composed, Mr. Torres will take meticulous measurements. A month to six weeks later, you’ll return to the studio for your first fitting. If you have any questions or reconsiderations, now is the time to express them. Then, you’ll return for your final fitting in another week or two.

This is not a trans or lgbtq safe space. The owner is condescending and he maintains exclusionary policies. Don’t advertise they you’re an ally of lgbtq, when you’re clearly not. My money isn’t green I guess. Also, your guaranty means nothing when the quality of your tailoring is sub optimal

Nicky weirdo up to his old tricks? Charging my card without permission and forcing me to call Amex to dispute your fraudulent business in order to recoup funds. Nick from Richmond county, shame on you.

Beyond Bespoke has been my go-to for alterations for the last six years. Nick and his team are amazing...great at what they do, and so genuinely nice! I have taken gowns, suits, trousers, and jeans to them and have never been disappointed. Most recently, I had took a gown in for altering of the length and of the fit in the back. I was scheduled to leave the country in less than a week for a wedding, but Stacey thankfully was able to schedule me in with Nelly a couple of days later. When I returned to pick up the gown the day after being fitted, as usual Nelly had done a fantastic job. Even though she had altered the length to where we had agreed, I asked if she could go a bit shorter, and she graciously accommodated my request...two hours later I picked up the gown and it was perfectly fitted! Thank you, Beyond Bespoke!

I've never been to a tailor before and so had some anxiety on what was expected, especially when it came to an expensive purchase like my wedding gown. But my appointments were always super quick and painless. Nelly is extremely professional and clearly a master at her craft. She made sure the dress was tailored to me specifically while also making sure I was still comfortable. She gave pointers and recommended the best way to go about tackling certain areas. Everyone else was extremely nice as well. I would definitely go back for other pieces in my wardrobe if needed.

I was in town for NYFW and my daughter had an alterations emergency. I called and they were able to fit me in the same day. This was a formal beaded dress that was in need of alterations in many areas. I returned for 2 fittings within 48 hours. The dress was ready on time, altered perfectly and they went out of their way to make sure my daughter and I were satisfied. Additionally, the owners were legitimately nice people. Professional, kind, and efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any clothing item. I was completely satisfied.

I don't often get tailoring done but when I do, Beyond Bespoke is my go to spot. I've gone there several times now to alter different garments for weddings and they always exceed my expectations. I struggle to buy clothes off the rack but when I leave Beyond Bespoke Tailors, I always feel like a model.

There is a reason why this business has such incredible reviews. Nick is simply a master of his craft. I am oddly shaped and it can be difficult for me to achieve well-fitting suits.On my first visit, Nick pinned everything up without my having to suggest or request anything. While I added my own two cents, Nick was also happy to (and capable of) performing the fitting himself.My suit fit perfectly after his first go around. However, Nick could immediately tell that I was uncomfortable with the tight sleeves on another blazer I brought in and offered to have it fixed next day. The following day the sleeves were still a tad too slim. He fixed it on the spot in five minutes.I highly recommend Beyond Bespoke for men’s garments, and am excited to patronize this business for years to come.

I used Beyond Bespoke to get my wedding suit tailored. When I arrived, Nick expertly took all of my measurements and marked up the suit. He and Stacie were very thorough in explaining all of the alterations that needed to be done. Later on in the process, I wanted to get a custom shirt as well and Nick again took my measurements and has the shirt in a short amount of time. Everything fits me like a glove! While expensive, it was worth every penny! Nick is now my tailor for life and I will be back to get more custom shirts!

smooth and efficient process to set up appointments and follow up. Great use of time during fittings, no down time - very quick turnaround. The results were outstanding. the jacket I brought in needed serious work that only a very talented tailor could do so well: I am glad I found one …. Will be back.

I went to Beyond Bespoke to have a custom morning suit made by the incredible Nick Torres. It was for my wedding and I wanted a modern take on a traditional suit. It came out wonderfully. I am very happy, and received so many compliments at the wedding. Nick took special care in designing the suit, choosing materials and making the suit to fit perfectly. Superb craftsman. I recommend them highly.

I enjoyed spending time with Nick and Stacie. They are very friendly and obviously enjoy meeting people and making them look good. The store is small and cozy, with places to sit if you have to wait. The magic occurs in the back area, and everyone leaves smiling. My son had his wedding suit tailor made, and I had my dress, that I custom ordered, altered. It fit so well. My son and I were both very pleased, and hope to use the services again! Thank you🙂

I had an amazing experience having a suit jacket and dress shirt altered. Nick put me at ease with the process as well as with the pricing. During the fitting, we adjusted the suggested alterations according to what I desired the pricing to be. Nick was extremely accommodating, and I appreciated his patience. I would recommend Beyond Bespoke to anyone looking for alterations. Also Stacy, who handles all the booking appointments, was a joy to work with as well. I look forward to working with Nick in the future. P.S. the suit jacket and shirt fit perfectly! Thanks Nick!

The BB team was great. I brought in an off the rack blazer, and by the time we were done it fit like a glove. Nick was very reasonable in explaining different options, what they would cost, and which ones he thought would make the most impact. I will definitely be back.

I’ve been a customer of Beyond Bespoke for over a decade. They are simply the best in the business. Nick and his team are amazing Tailors. Extremely knowledgeable and experts at what they do. Nick goes above and beyond for his customers and holds himself to a high standard. I’ve NEVER left unsatisfied. He recently made 2 bespoke suits for a good friend of mine and the suits were out of this world good. Visit them for all your alterations and bespoke needs.

My father left me a beautiful Harris Tweed jacket and I absolutely swam in it. Nick altered it to my size and now it fits perfectly. The whole staff is outstanding. I couldn't be happier. It is pretty pricey but well worth it for altering high quality clothing. I consider it an investment and know this will last for years.

Beyond Bespoke created my veil for my wedding last month and I couldn't have been happier with how it came out. They used lace appliques from my late grandmother's wedding dress and thoughtfully composed them along the edging of my long tulle veil. Stacie was wonderful in helping me pick out the pieces to attach to the veil, and Nelly did an incredible job in making the dream a reality. This is now such a special creation that I am so honored to keep within my family. Thank you so much for all your help.

I was new to getting alterations and this was such a wonderful experience. They were friendly and very attentive to detail. I went to get some dress pants hemmed but left with other alterations that made the fit even better! Highly recommend this place!

Went to see Nick at my brother's recommendation to get my son's suit altered for my wedding. BEST. DECISION. EVER!!! Just from a consultation I feel confident beyond words that my son's suit will be perfect. Worth every cent I paid. Night and day experience from the place we actually bought the suit from. If you value a quality experience all around, real personal service and peace of mind, this is the place for you.

I’ve been going to Beyond Bespoke for years now, both for straightforward adjustments and some more challenging alterations and they have always come through. Nick, Stacie and their team have saved two wardrobe pieces of mine and have been exceptionally professional and friendly along the way. I highly value their expertise and care and will continue to work with them in the future.
