LuxuryClothing.com is the successor to Kabbaz-Kelly Fine Custom Clothiers original web site, CustomShirt1.com.  Adding some 70,000 top-quality European clothing and furnishing items since building the original site in 1994, the title "CustomShirt1" was no longer very appropriately telling the story.

Joelle Kelly and Alexander Kabbaz, founders of Kabbaz-Kelly Fine Custom Clothiers, are husband and wife as well as business partners for more than a quarter century. The duo began selling Zimmerli underwear and luxury socks back in the 1970's as a service to their bespoke shirt clients. Today they are the oldest and most highly regarded such retailer in the world. Brought to the forefront of the field by their renowned custom shirts, they fondly recall certain turning points in their success.

 "Creating Michael Douglas's unique shirts for Wall Street brought us considerable recognition" notes Kabbaz, continuing, "It was a thrill when Departures wrote that many considered us the best shirtmaker in the world, as was garnering multiple Robb Report Best of the Best awards. These served to permanently archive our somewhat obsessive insistence on the quality of our creations.

Kabbaz explains the advantages and disadvantages of the "Link Cuff", one which is suitable for cufflinks but does not fold over like a French cuff.

"But most importantly to us, it has been our knowledge of how to make top quality clothing which has provided the ability to be so discerning in our selection of the artisans' work we offer on LuxuryClothing.com and CustomShirt1.com."
