Our customers rule! Everything we do begins and ends with an insatiable drive to anticipate and fulfill our customers' desires.
Our passion leads to success. We pursue excellence because we are emotionally, intellectually and spiritually engaged in our work...and that makes our talent formidable and our results extraordinary.
We continuously strive to develop our craft and hone our skills through professional education.
It matters how we play the game. Doing what is right means following the rules even when no one is watching.
Our values are part of everything we do
The Custom Tailors & Designers Association (CTDA) is the oldest trade organization in the United States. Founded in 1880 in Columbus, Ohio, it was established as a venue through which ideas and techniques for design, pattern making, fitting, cutting and tailoring could be shared and exchanged.
125+ years later, the organization continues to thrive thanks to the demand for high quality custom clothing, a demand that is ever on the increase as affluent consumers everywhere seek customization in many aspects of their lives. CTDA members are able to address those needs not only with custom suits but with custom shirts, trousers and accessories as well.
Valued associate members provide goods and services including fabrics, cut-make & trim, tailoring, accessories and tools vital to its members. An accredited educational program was established five years ago and is available to members and those seeking to join the CTDA.
Today the membership includes distinguished master tailors, designers, custom clothiers and direct sellers, who create fine custom clothing for discerning clients throughout the United States. These members can be located on the Find a Tailor page.
