DAVID HART

What DAVID HART does

DAVID HART LLC is a privately held, founder-owned American luxury menswear brand headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. The company designs and sells a complete wardrobe for the modern gentleman through a direct-to-consumer Shopify storefront (davidhartnyc.com) and a Brooklyn-based bespoke tailoring shop. The product portfolio spans knitwear, ready-to-wear and bespoke tailoring, woven shirts, ties, pocket squares, and face masks, with unit prices ranging from $25 for masks to $1,750 for suits. Manufacturing and material sourcing are distributed across the USA, Italy, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Japan, with final construction also occurring in Portugal for suiting, reflecting a deliberate commitment to heritage textile mills and (for select products) New York City's Garment District.

The business model is straightforward D2C apparel: one-time purchase revenue across ready-to-wear and accessories, digital gift card sales ($50 to $2,500), and bespoke suiting services that require 2-3 in-person fittings at the Brooklyn location, a 6-8 week production lead time, and a 50% deposit. Free domestic shipping and a 14-day return policy support self-serve online conversion, while a V.I.P. mailing list drives retention and repeat purchase. The brand has cultivated earned media through PR agency Agentry PR and a roster of celebrity editorial placements (Ryan Gosling, Stephen Curry, Eddie Redmayne, Nick Jonas, Kendall Jenner, Solange, Christian Slater in GQ, among others), supported by founder David Hart's industry credentials including CFDA membership since 2015, CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist status, GQ Best New Menswear Designers recognition, and International Woolmark Prize nomination.
