Bespoke clothing in Chicago
BB SPOKE is a Chicago label making custom made clothing — leather jackets, denim, tracksuits, knitwear and leather bags cut to one person's measurements. Founded by comedian-turned-designer Brian Babylon, the studio designs in Chicago and builds in Sialkot, in low batches, with no restock and no markdown.
If you have searched for bespoke tailoring, made-to-measure outerwear or a custom leather jacket in Chicago and kept finding the same rack, this is the other option: one piece, your specification, answered personally by the studio.
What we make to order
- Custom made leather jackets
- Bombers and moto jackets built in full-grain leather, with your choice of hide, lining, hardware and an interior mark. Cut to your chest, sleeve and body length rather than a stock grade.
- Bespoke denim & outerwear
- Du Sable denim jackets and heavier outerwear made to measure, including custom washes, contrast stitching and embroidery for Chicago crews, teams and brands.
- Made-to-measure tracksuits & knitwear
- Tracksuits, jacquard sweaters and knit shirts cut to your measurements in the colourways you pick — the same low-batch construction as the capsule, sized to one person.
- Custom leather bags
- The Babylon Weekender and other leather goods, commissioned with your leather, hardware finish, placement and a numbered edition plaque.

Chicago bespoke questions
- Do you make bespoke clothing in Chicago?
- Yes. BB SPOKE is a Chicago-based label founded by Brian Babylon. Every bespoke commission is designed in Chicago and constructed by our workshop in Sialkot, then shipped back to you. Commissions start with the order form on this page.
- Can I get custom made clothing without an in-person fitting?
- You can. Most Chicago clients send measurements or their usual size and we confirm the pattern by email before anything is cut. In-person measuring appointments in Chicago can be arranged for larger leather commissions.
- How much does a custom made jacket cost?
- Bespoke leather outerwear generally runs from about $1,000 depending on the hide, hardware and personalization. Made-to-measure knitwear and tracksuits start lower. You get a written quote before you commit.
- How long does a Chicago bespoke order take?
- Two to four weeks in production depending on the piece, plus shipping. Leather bags run three to four weeks; jackets and made-to-measure knitwear run two to three weeks.
- Do you ship outside Chicago?
- Yes. We work with clients across Illinois and nationwide, and ship internationally. The commission process is the same wherever you are.
