CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN
Right in the heart of Orange County is a custom-clothing store that will make any man look like he stepped off the pages of GQ.
David August-Lifestyle Outfitters in Costa Mesa offers high-end custom wardrobes for sports figures (including some players and coaches from the Lakers, Clippers and Mighty Ducks), celebrities, and executives.
How good is David August? Actor Will Smith, always on "Best Dressed" lists, once again wore David August Couture Label this year during the film awards season. Even his son, Jaden Smith, wore a hand-tailored David August tuxedo as a presenter at the Academy Awards.
David August's specialty is creating an entire look for clients and defining their lifestyle and working their wardrobes around it.
"Many of our clients have private jets so our showroom is at the back side of John Wayne airport," says owner David Heil. "It's accessible from the tarmac."
Clients meet for one-on-one consultations with Heil at his New York-style loft showroom. Frequent clients include executives who have multiple homes or customers who just need a single suit for weddings or business. Suits start at $2,000, with most costing $2,500 to $3,500.
Open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday, or by appointment. 3140 Airway Ave. in Costa Mesa. 714.545.7848.
