JAB — bespoke tailoring, Lagos

A suit is only ever as good as the cloth it begins with.

We hold hundreds of cloths in the atelier, and can source thousands more. Here is where every commission starts.

Weight, weave, and how it wears.

Good cloth is chosen for the life it will lead. A heavier worsted holds its shape through a working week; an open hopsack breathes through the heat; a flannel forgives and softens with age. In consultation, we guide you to the cloth that suits your climate, your calendar, and your character — never the other way around.
