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.

In the boutique

What happens there

Everything is discussed in person, unhurried, with the fabric in hand.

Measuring

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

Fabric

Books on the table, in daylight — far more than a website can show.

Specification

Lapel, lining, collar, cuff — and for shoes, the configurator. Decided together.

Fitting

Tried on, corrected and finished before it leaves the house.

A short list, kept short

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.
