We are running of stock quickly, come have a look!
Romance is defined as “A mysterious or fascinating quality or appeal, as of something adventurous, heroic, or strangely beautiful.”
Our greatest desire at Loring & Co. bespoke is to bring back the qualities of romance that
somehow gets lost in our day to day routines. So, we encourage you this season to recapture that “strangely beautiful adventure” with a romantic dinner, a walk in the moonlight, or a special date with someone you love.
We’ll do our part by offering you a custom designed hand delivered Gift certificate to someone special. We also have beautiful gifts in stock that we wrap and deliver. One more thing, if you place your order by February 12, we’ll give you our gift of 20% off.
Gift certificates are only redeemable for merchandise or custom orders fro Loring & Co. bespoke.

We are continuing to change things up in the shop. Herndon does all the work while we sit around and holler at him, it’s a good system.

Last week, our good friend Otis James stopped by the shop to be fitted for a new custom suit. If you are not familiar with Otis, he is the king of the necktie. From humble beginnings in his first Nashville apartment, Otis now has a remarkable studio located in the Marathon Motor Works factory.
As with all of our made-to-measure customers, owner Jeff Loring took measurements for a new suit. Neck, chest, shoulders, arms, legs, you name it. Otis selected a beautiful fabric, and we can’t wait to show him the Loring & Co. suit when it is ready.
We encourage you to stop by and see the Otis James studio at 1200 Clinton St. when you have the chance. Otis makes finely crafted long ties, bow ties, lady’s ties, ascots, and handkerchiefs. He is a true artisan in an industry of mass-produced obscurity.
Thanks for stopping by, Otis!
