Custom Tailor Barnstorming Tour Coming To Bethesda

That’s what a well known New York suit shop is claiming ahead of an all-day pop-up store set for Wednesday at the Hyatt Regency Bethesda (7400 Wisconsin Ave.).

Mohan’s Custom Tailors — the folks who outfitted Rudy Giuliani and who provide some of the colorful stylings of New York Knicks legend Walt “Clyde” Frazier — set up an 18-city, 21-day barnstorming tour to bring their products and tailoring service to customers up and down the East Coast.

“With our name and our quality and the service we provide, people love to come to us,” said Mohan’s sales manager KJ Singh. “I get phone calls every day. People call us from California asking, ‘When are you guys going to come here?’”

Singh said Mohan’s large fabric selection makes it “very different than an old-school tailor in a small town.”

However accurate that statement is, the pop-up store strategy is indeed a unique approach.

From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., two employees will receive customers in a Hyatt ballroom. Customers will select from 40 suit styles, 16 shirt cuff styles and 20 collar styles and the tailors will size them up, as if they were in the store. Singh said suits start at $500.

The tour hits a number of big cities and wealthy communities. Singh said Mohan’s has been to Bethesda before — they do the tour twice a year.

The event gets plenty of customers willing to take time out of their day to come to Bethesda.

“We always get new clients and we have a lot of clients already in the D.C. area,” Singh said. “It’s a convenience thing.”
