Our Legacy
Two generations of excellence
Our legacy began in 1953 when Peter Balani set out to master the art of custom tailoring, traveling the globe to build relationships with top European fabric mills. In 1961, he founded Balani Custom Clothiers in Chicago, serving a select group of dedicated clients. For 40 years, Peter ran the business with unwavering dedication to quality.
Today, under the leadership of his son, Sonny Balani, Balani has expanded to 14 cities nationwide. We take immense pride in maintaining top-tier ratings across various platforms in every location we serve. Our values of quality and superior service are at the core of everything we provide for our clients. We passionately continue to handcraft each suit, taking pride in even the finest details, just as we have done for the last 60 years.
I invite you to join in my father’s legacy and share my vision on our journey through the
custom life.
