THAT’S WHAT EVERYONE C ALLS IT: THE TEMPLE TO FINE TAILORING. T WO YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS NAMED JACOB
FREEMAN AND JEREMIAH HICKEY BUILT IT IN THE EARLY YEARS OF THE 20TH CENTURY IN ROCHES TER, NY. THEIR PL AN WAS T O BRING HIGH-QUALIT Y HAND-TAILORING TO MEN FROM COAS T TO COAS T. AS THEY ENVISIONED IT, A HICKEY FREEMAN SUIT WOULD BE A TES TAMENT TO BOTH THE DELIC ATE AR TIS TRY OF HAND-CRAFT SMANSHIP AND THE S TEADY CONSIS TENCY OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY. THEIR IDEA TURNED INTO AN EPIC AMERIC AN SUCCESS S TORY. MEN OF S T YLE AND ACHIEVEMENT HAVE, FOR GENERATION AFTER GENERATION,

AUTHENTICITY
AND

ELEGANCE
AND
INNOVATION.

PINNACLE OF AMERICAN TAILORING TAILORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD GATHER IN ROCHESTER’S SARTORIAL SANCTUARY TO SET SLEEVES AND STITCH COLL ARS AND ROLL L APELS. EACH TAILOR HAS A DIFFERENT SPECIALT Y, BUT THEY ALL SHARE A COMMON GOAL: T O CREATE SUIT S THAT REPRESENT THE VERY PINN ACLE OF AMERIC AN TAILORING. ELEGANT FABRICS HAVE BEEN WASHED IN THE MOUNTAIN S TREAMS OF THE BIELL A REGION OF N OR THERN ITALY, WHICH HAS GIVEN THEM AN EXQUISITE SOFTNESS. THE HICKEY FREEMAN TEAM S TAY S IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH THE MOS T PRES TIGIOUS WEAVERS IN ITALY AND THE UNITED KINGDOM, WORKING WITH THESE MILLS TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL FABRICS ARE DEVELOPED TO HICKEY FREEMAN’S EXCLUSIVE AND EXACTING SPECIFIC ATIONS. THINK OF IT AS SARTORIAL MASTERY MATCHED WITH HIGH-TECH INGENUIT Y: HICKEY FREEMAN SUITS ARE CUT USING TODAY’S S TATE-OF -THE- AR T METHODS, AND YET THEY UPHOLD THE S TANDARDS OF THE WORLD’S MOS T REVERED BESPOKE TAILORS.
