Adrian Jules launches tech platform for luxury custom tailors
Adrian Jules Custom Clothier, founded in 1964 in Rochester, New York, is drawing on its 62‑year tailoring heritage to roll out a technology platform for private‑label retailers. The company’s internally built ERP system now powers a client‑facing portal that shows real‑time fabric availability, pricing and high‑resolution images from suppliers in Europe, South America and Asia. To ensure consistent fit regardless of garment type or production location, the platform standardizes measurement specifications for suits, knits, polos and jackets.
Over three generations the business has expanded its retail outlets and increased its American manufacturing capacity. The ERP system tracks each garment from order entry through workshop cutting, construction and accounting. Clients can place orders online via the proprietary portal, which also speeds up pattern introductions and production‑throughput tracking. The technology‑enabled offering is marketed under the Adrian Jules Platinum line, which integrates custom apparel production across global supply chains.
“Technology has been a gamechanger for us,” Arnie Roberti, president of operations said.
The company was established in Rochester, New York, in 1964 by an Italian designer and master tailor who had come to the United States from Italy. Across three generations the business has expanded the number of its retail outlets and has increased its American manufacturing capacity.

By combining its 62-year tradition of hand-tailored craftsmanship with modern enterprise technology, Adrian Jules Custom Clothier is altering the way private-label tailors and retailers manage the entire luxury custom clothing experience.
Seeing the possibility of achieving operational efficiencies in the traditional hand-tailoring processes, the company developed its own Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system in order to monitor the garments from the time the order was first entered through to workshop cutting, construction and accounting.
“Technology has been a gamechanger for us,” said Arnie Roberti, president of operations.
Clients are able to see in real time whether fabric is available, look at current prices and use high-resolution images during customer consultations by receiving direct feeds from clothing vendors all over Europe, South America and Asia.
