Balani Custom Clothiers

balani-custom-clothiersOur job at Balani is to unwind the uptight image of custom clothing. In our modern showroom, we present the tradition of custom fit clothes through a contemporary lens. With a commitment to quality, we collaborate with our clients in a new way to exceed expectations. It’s your style, your way.

We’re a lot like fashion: always changing. Founded in 1961, we’ve been making clothes for Chicago’s well-to-do for nearly 50 years. Yet the only thing that has stayed constant is a commitment to our clients experience and the quality of their clothing. You can find our showroom in the heart of the city’s business district.
