How an Order Begins
Hand Tailored.
From Start to Finish.
Every order begins the same way. With the right form, the right measurements, and a conversation with Dana.
Bates has never pulled a piece off a shelf. Every suit, jacket, boot, and seat is cut from your measurements and stitched by hand in our Alabama workshop. The same hands that built leather for Kenny Roberts, Russ Collins, and Arnold Schwarzenegger build yours.
Fill the right form out at your pace, then bring it to Dana to finish.
