"Everyone I met had one go-to guy for suits: Leonard Logsdail. Being the suiting wonk that I am, my interest was piqued, but the more I learned about Leonard, the more intimidated I became. Leonard, I would learn, is the go-to tailor for some of the world's best dressed men."
"He was warm, funny, down to earth. Confident and assured in his work, to be sure, but without the arrogance or insular disposition I expected of someone with his reputation."
"The son of a milkman, Leonard grew up in London in a home with no indoor plumbing. He started tailoring school when he was 15, at his sister's suggestion, something he's told me was a divergence from the norm of where he grew up. For Leonard, it was kismet-immediately, he could intuit the shapes, how the fabric needed to be cut."
Leonard Logsdail is a highly respected tailor who serves top costume designers and some of the world's best-dressed men. Beginning his career at age 15 in London, he became the youngest tailor on Savile Row, where he worked for two decades before eventually establishing himself in New York. Known for his exceptional skill in understanding fabric and garment construction, Logsdail has built a reputation for warmth and approachability despite his elite status. At 75, he is relocating his Midtown shop to a new location near Grand Central Station after nearly 30 years, continuing his influential role in the tailoring industry.
