A HIGHER STANDARD

In an era of fast fashion and mass production, much of the clothing industry has settled for mediocrity—quickly made garments that fit poorly and lack personality.

We choose a different path.

We believe that every person deserves clothing made specifically for them, crafted to superior standards using the finest fabrics available. By combining cutting-edge technology with traditional craftsmanship, we deliver truly custom garments through our trusted retail partners and personal shoppers.

THE STORY OF THE KNOT

The knot in our logo represents the intricate connections at the heart of our brand—from the fabric fibers themselves to the relationships between client, retailer, and craftsman. Knots symbolize unity, strength, and complexity. In our process, they represent the perfect marriage of human expertise and technological precision. Every knot requires intimate knowledge of its material—just as we understand every detail of our fabrics and construction processes. Our knot binds together tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and technology.

FOUNDED ON CUSTOM

John Ballay and Matt Mueller founded Knot Standard in 2012, inspired by the bespoke clothing traditions they encountered as young expats in Dubai. Their vision was to make superior custom clothing accessible to discerning clients through innovative technology and exceptional service. What began as a shared passion for custom menswear has evolved into a pioneering force in the luxury clothing industry, available through prestigious retail partnerships and an exclusive network of personal shoppers.
