"Simply drive to Alexander Kabbaz's Amagansett shop, choose from a collection of some 3,200 fabrics, and be fitted by the man many believe is the world's best custom shirtmaker." - - - Departures Magazine

Some thirty years and a number of awards later Kabbaz, whose bespoke shirts range considerably upwards of $850, has shuttered his beloved Madison Avenue atelier and moved his shirtmaking studios home to Artists' Woods, his family compound in East Hampton. "I still visit with clients every Wednesday at the Regency on Park Avenue", he comments, "but I find my 'creative juices' flow more readily around white sand beaches and groves of cedar trees than amongst honking horns and smog. I've always considered my work to be a mix of art and science. Being based here in the environs of our art school seems rather fitting ... no pun intended!"

"I've been stocking Zimmerli, Begg, luxury socks, ties, and many other of the finest European furnishings for my shirt clients for some thirty years now. The transition to online retailing - while maintaining the customer service for which we are known - has been an interesting challenge, but a welcome one", observes Alexander. "I find that if I can just get the online clients to phone me up or e-mail when they have questions, providing excellent service is easy when one is intimately knowledgeable about the products. And after more than thirty years of offering furnishings & accessories advice, we darn well better know our stuff!"

Appointments for custom shirts are available daily in the East Hampton studios, Wednesday evenings at the Regency in Manhattan, or by arrangement anywhere at our mutual convenience. Initial appointments outside the Manhattan-East Hampton corridor require advance arrangement. Work with new clients commences as space becomes available on the client roster. As in any prospective long-term relationship, the initial interview is meant to mutually investigate affinity and compatibility.
