Clothing makes the man, they say.
Local business partners Andrew Berenberg and Aaron Tadian couldn’t agree more. They are co-founders of AA Exclusive Fabrics located at 120 Kinderkamack Road in Emerson.
Andrew and Aaron became friends several years ago and thought it would be a great idea to create a new business partnership. At the time, Aaron was working with a custom clothing company and Andrew was the owner of Emerson Cleaners. Suits and dry cleaners--a match made in heaven.
“Andrew was my client when I was selling clothing with my first company. We became friends over the years, and thought it would be great to collaborate,” says Aaron.
Since that initial plan, they’ve buttoned up their business model which is starting to turn heads—because it’s more than the suit—it’s the service.
“Our typical client is a guy who doesn’t know how to shop, doesn’t have time to shop, doesn’t like to shop, and has no idea what to shop for,” says Aaron. “We help with fashion guidance and styling. It makes life so much easier because they can go into their closet in the morning and know exactly what they will wear—every day of the week.”
There is certainly value in convenience and being a one-stop-shop for a man to manage his wardrobe. Andrew discovered this himself when he originally went to Aaron for help with custom clothing. “I don’t like to shop, and now, I never have to go shopping again. I love the fit and it’s so much easier.”
Easy is an understatement.
“Make a consultation appointment and we will meet you anywhere you want—home, office, you name it. We will have a conversation regarding what you need, what you wish to replace in your closet, or what type of event you are attending,” says Aaron.
Once we establish the basics, we review fabrics together, decide on the style, and take measurements,” says Andrew. “Five to six weeks later, the suit is delivered, and we will do the final custom fitting. The best part is that we have your size on file, so the next time you need anything, all you need to do is pick the fabric and style.”
AA curates the finest European fabrics, with most of its stock coming from Italian fabric designers. “You can’t find what we have in stores--our fine fabrics are very exclusive,” says Aaron.
The business also caters to all sizes and price ranges. “The beauty of custom clothing is that no matter what your size, you will look professional, well-suited, and ready for business,” says Aaron. “Also, because of the customized process, we can pinpoint the design to your specific price range. So, whether you are a typical suit buyer or trend toward the higher-end styles, we’ve got you covered for custom shirts, suits, pants, jackets, blazers, tuxedos—even custom jeans and sportswear.”
An article in Forbes stated, “Take a look around the next time you go grocery shopping or pass through any airport. Dress standards are so low today that just wearing a nice suit made a contrast against a backdrop of overwhelming mediocrity.”
Aaron and Andrew couldn't agree more. “If you dress well, you feel good and perform well. If you are wearing a baggy uncomfortable suit you won’t,” says Aaron. Andrew adds, “You can crush it with a first impression.”
