If you're looking for a custom suit that makes you feel like the sharpest, most stylish version of yourself, you should absolutely check out As You Are in San Francisco. I worked with Clint, the owner and tailor behind the brand, to create two custom looks for my recent wedding weekend and I couldn’t be happier with both the experience working with Clint or the quality of the final finished pieces.
For our first night party before the wedding, Clint made me a bright green blazer that struck the balance between a bold splash of color and James Bond-worthy "shoot to kill" haberdashery. It set a perfect tone for the weekend - celebratory, refined, but still full of personality. For the ceremony itself he helped me design a custom Loro Piana suit that instantly became the favorite thing in my closet. The fit and the fabric came out exceptional, and the suit still felt like a million bucks even after a couple hours of hard dancing in the middle of the Mexican desert.
From the very first meeting Clint brought a thoughtful, attentive eye to the process. He has an awesome sense of style (seriously, he’s one of the best-dressed people you’ll ever meet) and a gift for understanding not just what you want to wear, but how you want to feel wearing it. That kind of care and thoughtfulness really came through in the finished product.
Both pieces are now staples in my wardrobe that I'm literally inventing excuses to reach for again. They’re beautifully made, timeless in design, and built to last for years. More than that, they feel personal... they've got a story and memories attached to them, plus a whole lot of personality.
If you’re thinking about having something made for a special occasion, or just want to upgrade your closet with something custom, I can’t recommend Clint highly enough. His work is thoughtful, stylish, and personal, and my whole experience working with him reflected that from start to finish....

Read moreWith my wedding coming up and it being such a special occasion i decided that i wanted my suit to be special and something that i will continue to wear forever. I am located in Reno however and there are very limited options for off the rack suit shopping and zero custom tailors. After meeting with a few vendors in San Francisco we found ourselves shaking hands with Clint at his shop just up the road from the Famous Buena vista pub and I cannot express how happy we are that we found “As You Are”!
Top line notes for those that don’t like to read are that i ended up with the exact suit I wanted and that looks absolutely fantastic and will hold up and grow with me. So bottom line is if you are in the Bay Area (or nearby) and want a custom suit, you would be remiss to not consider As You Are!
Some more detail: Clint is extremely patient and had a knack for helping bring my (very rough) idea of what i wanted into a solid design before he even took a measurement. He sat with my fiancé, future MIL and me for hours looking through fabrics and showing us examples of different fits and suit designs that he has already made to give me ideas or inspiration. From stitching variations to the buttons he could not have been more knowledgeable and helpful in designing it. A few scheduled fittings later and it looked perfect and the feeling of wearing my perfectly molded suit was indescribable. I went with a 3 piece 2 button and a few shirts and it all turned out perfect with excellent quality!...
