When searching for custom suits in Santa Monica, you deserve a garment that is built to last and designed to move with you. Our tailoring process is a collaborative journey. We don’t just take measurements; we analyze your posture, your lifestyle, and your stylistic preferences to create a garment that feels like a second skin.
While many in the industry offer made to measure suits, Montalvo takes the process a step further with true bespoke construction. A made-to-measure suit is often an adjusted version of an existing template, but our custom suits are drafted from a unique paper pattern created specifically for you. This allows for a level of precision that ensures comfort, whether you are in a boardroom or attending a sunset event at the Palisades.
• Elite Fabric Selection: We source from the world's most renowned mills to provide materials that are breathable and luxurious.
• Hand-Finished Details: From functional sleeve buttons to hand-padded lapels, every stitch is intentional.
• Superior Construction: Our full-canvas interiors ensure that your suit maintains its shape and drapes perfectly over time.

We recognize that your schedule is demanding. Navigating traffic to visit a studio can be a hurdle, which is why we have revolutionized our service to prioritize your convenience. As a dedicated house call tailor, we bring the entire Montalvo showroom experience directly to your home or office in Santa Monica.
Whether you are located near Montana Avenue or the Santa Monica Pier, our mobile service allows you to:
• Browse hundreds of fabric swatches in your own lighting.
• Undergo professional fittings without leaving your workspace.
• Consult with a master tailor in a private, one-on-one environment.
This "We Come to You" model has made us the preferred tailor in Santa Monica for executives and entrepreneurs who refuse to compromise on their attire simply because they are short on time.
The foundation of any sharp look begins with the shirt. Our custom shirts are designed with the "Crafted for You—Never the Rack" philosophy. Unlike off-the-rack options that never quite fit the neck or sleeve length perfectly, our bespoke shirts are engineered for your specific proportions.
We utilize natural, breathable fibers such as premium poplin and sea island cotton, which are ideal for the Santa Monica climate. Every detail of our custom tailored shirts is customizable—from the height of the collar to the style of the cuff. Once we have perfected your unique pattern, we keep it on file, making the process of refreshing your wardrobe simple and efficient for years to come.
Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, and your attire should be nothing short of extraordinary. As a specialized wedding tuxedo tailor, we work with grooms and their wedding parties to create formalwear that is both timeless and sophisticated.
For many grooms in Southern California, we act as a dedicated wedding suit tailor, helping them choose between a classic black-tie tuxedo or a more modern custom suit. Our house-call service is particularly popular for wedding parties, as it allows us to fit the entire group in one location, ensuring a cohesive and impeccable look for the big day.
