Rochester-based Adrian Jules is using a proprietary digital platform to streamline global supply chain management and production for private-label luxury tailors.

Adrian Jules Custom Clothier, a family-run business established in 1964, is leveraging modern enterprise technology to modernize the luxury custom clothing experience. The Rochester, New York-based company has developed an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that connects its traditional hand-tailored craftsmanship with global supply chains through its Platinum line. This platform aims to provide transparency and operational efficiency for private-label tailors and retailers worldwide.

Technological Infrastructure and Transparency

The company’s internal ERP system, originally designed to monitor garment production from initial order to final construction, has evolved into a client-facing hub. This tool allows tailors to manage fragmented supply chains across international workshops and fabric mills. Arnie Roberti, president of operations, noted that the technology facilitates online ordering, inventory management, and the tracking of production throughput. Clients can access real-time data, including fabric availability and pricing, while utilizing high-resolution images from vendors in Europe, South America, and Asia. To ensure consistent quality, the platform standardizes measurement specifications across both domestic and foreign production sites for various garments, including suits, outerwear, and knits.

Operational Support and Market Shifts

Adrian Jules acts as a consolidated manufacturing partner, managing relationships with global vendors to handle quality assurance and fit adjustments. This service relieves retail partners of the need to coordinate across different time zones. The company reports that demand for made-to-order clothing remains strong, as higher-income consumers increasingly view tailored items as long-term investments capable of being modified for body shape changes. Growth is also being driven by the expansion of women’s made-to-measure clothing. By developing pattern designs specifically for women’s body shapes rather than relying on traditional men’s grading, the company has enabled its retail clients to capture a larger share of the luxury market, effectively doubling the potential customer base for its partners.
