Custom Menswear Tailoring in Austin, TX
Bykowski Tailor & Garb is a combat veteran-owned, family-operated design house established in 2009. Our foundation in bespoke tailoring began when founder Christopher Bykowski, a musician at the time, sought to perfect the fit and design of menswear for both stage and daily life. Specializing in Edwardian/Prohibition-inspired styles with modern relevance, we craft head-to-toe menswear including suits, casual wear, accessories, and leather goods. Our clientele ranges from local professionals to internationally recognized artists and film productions. With a brick-and-mortar location in downtown Austin since 2011, we combine vintage craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics.Our team's expertise extends to custom firearms design, reflecting our commitment to unique, high-quality craftsmanship. We serve both local and global clients through our Austin headquarters and Hill Country location. Our work has been featured in HBO and AMC television shows as well as major motion pictures. The business originated from a gap in the market for distinctive menswear during our founders' wedding planning process. Today, we maintain our dedication to exceptional fit, premium materials, and personalized service that sets us apart in the industry.
