The House
A wardrobe is not assembled in a season. It is gathered over a life.
Alter Knabe is made to measure. A house block adjusted to your figure, your fabric, your collar, your buttons — a garment that fits the man rather than the size.
Nothing is sold from this page. Every piece is presented, measured and ordered in a boutique, by someone who takes the time.

Made to Measure
Your measure, your fabric
Measurements taken in the boutique, a house block adapted to your posture, then every detail specified — lapel, lining, collar, cuff. Made up and returned for a fitting.

The Boutiques
Found in selected houses
Alter Knabe is not sold everywhere, and that is deliberate. The brand lives in a small number of boutiques who measure, advise and order on your behalf — among them Herr & Gut from Vorarlberg, Austria.
