About Rick Vela Clothing

With a career spanning 40 years as a retailer/tailor of better, men’s clothing, Rick Vela continues to provide traditional, Ready to Wear and Bench-made clothing to clients all over the world.

During the last decade in the industry, Rick has placed a greater focus on the personal, one to one attention few retailers provide, today. There is virtually no operation conducted with the customer that he does not maintain an influence in.

Since 1979 Rick Vela has provided sartorial knowledge and advice to lawyers, politicians, professors and successful businessmen with an intense emphasis on relationships, core values, and integrity.  The goal is to provide a comfortable experience in fabric selections whether it be for tailored clothing, shirts, neckwear or a garment needed in a 5-day time crunch.

Testimonials & Recomendations

  • Rick totally redid my wardrobe. I thought I had Custom Clothes but if you have Rick measure you and then you receive the garments there is no comparison! Comfortable, perfect fit, fabulous fabric choices. Rick now dresses my son, my wife, and my daughter in law and expanding.

  • My husband and I have worked with Rick Vela for 35 years. Rick brings impeccable taste and decades of experience with fabrics and tailoring to the privacy of your home or office. Because Rick has developed professional buying relationships with large entities such as Nordstrom’s and Neiman Marcus, he is able to offer prices that aren’t available to the average buyer and you, as the client, benefit. My husband is physically fit; without tailoring, purchasing a regular shirt, jacket or suit that is broad enough in the shoulders produces a balloon of extra fabric around the waist. In addition to excellent fit, picking fabric from hundreds of examples gives so many options. A white shirt becomes so much more with texture and pattern. We highly recommend the professionalism and expertise of Rick Vela.
