After 27 years with Irwin Clothing Co., Steve Benson opened S. Benson & Co. in 1995 on 57th Street. Set in small building the interior is reminiscent of a men's club. S. Benson & Co. has a simple mission: deliver quality clothing with impeccable tailoring to discerning clientele.

Known for his impeccable sense of style and attention to detail, Steve offers the finest quality imported fabrics for custom garments. Custom clothing: suits, trousers, jackets and custom shirts offer clients a distinctive and elegant wardrobe within 3 weeks. The shop is filled with carefully selected sportswear from small design houses that meet Steve's criteria of excellence in construction, design and fashion.

Steve's educated visual and aesthetic sense is applied to each and every individual client ensuring that the clothing integrates with the personality. Steve's personal touch in wardrobe management is the secret of many customers! The ultimate goal is to build a wardrobe that fits the client, is balanced with their lifestyle, and enhances the client. This approach is so successful, that second and third generations are now customers!

Benson says that his business is "a return to the old fashioned haberdashery, but with a modern twist."
