Measuring
Taken properly and kept on file for every garment after the first.

Boutiques
The Rule
There is no online shop, and there will not be one.
Alter Knabe is carried by a small number of boutiques. They take the measurements, lay out the fabric, place the order and handle the fitting.
Everything — questions about the brand, made to measure, shoes and accessories — goes through them directly.
Vorarlberg, Austria
Manufactory for cultivated style — and the home of Alter Knabe. Measuring, fabric selection and orders all take place here. Two locations in Vorarlberg.
In the boutique
Everything is discussed in person, unhurried, with the fabric in hand.
Taken properly and kept on file for every garment after the first.
Books on the table, in daylight — far more than a website can show.
Lapel, lining, collar, cuff — and for shoes, the configurator. Decided together.
Tried on, corrected and finished before it leaves the house.
Stockists
We add boutiques rarely and only where the service matches the clothes. Houses interested in carrying Alter Knabe are welcome to approach us through Herr & Gut.
