Client Service Specialist - Chicago

Blank Label is an award-winning custom menswear brand with the mission of making custom the new standard for every male shopper - taking guys from ill-fitting work and casual wear to being a guy people would stop on the street just to compliment them on an outfit. We were founded in 2010 as an online custom shirt maker, and since then we’ve made more than 60,000 custom shirts online. In 2013 we opened our first pattern room in Boston, and started to expand our product line from shirts to suiting and suiting separates, chinos, and top coats. By the next year, we won the award for Best Suit in Boston 2014. Today we now have scarves, shorts, trench coats, tuxedos - and the list keeps growing.
