About De Oost Bespoke Tailoring: Dress Conscious

At De Oost, everything revolves around creating bespoke clothing that truly suits you. Our philosophy, Dress Conscious, reflects our dedication to craftsmanship, personal attention, and the highest quality artistry.

We believe that bespoke clothing is more than just a product; it is a combination of tradition, passion, and perfection. Compare it to an experience in a fine restaurant: only expertise, experience, the finest fabrics and materials, a meticulous process, and welcoming service lead to a unique result. In other words, clothing that tells your story.

Why “Dress Conscious”?

To Dress Conscious means understanding why your clothing is made the way it is and by whom. This is because you are actively involved in the creation process and aware of the considerations that shape each decision. Together with our experienced staff, who guide you step by step through the entire process, choices become more than mere options—they become translations of your values and principles. Only then does a bespoke suit become a true fusion and expression of who you are and what you stand for.

Our Story

The story of De Oost begins with a journey to Vietnam 23 years ago, where our founder, Jean-Paul, met Mr. Nguyen, a tailor who worked in an authentic, traditional manner. This craftsmanship—perfectionistic and with a dedication that has become rare—opened his eyes to what clothing can truly be. Even the suits previously made in Italy and on Savile Row were left hanging in the closet. It wasn’t just the quality of the suit, but also the service and attention that left a deep impression.

To this day, we collaborate with our master tailor, his family, and his team to create the finest products for unique individuals.

During this journey, the foundation of De Oost was laid. Initially working from the living room, and growing through satisfied customers into a respected sartorial establishment with clients from both the Netherlands and abroad, spanning all walks of life. We bring that same tradition to the Netherlands, combined with modern insights and a client-focused approach. Every piece we create is a reflection of our respect for the craft and our commitment to delivering an extraordinary product.

Craftsmanship and Expertise

At De Oost, we exclusively use traditional techniques while welcoming new insights in technical and stylistic fields. Every garment is entirely handmade, from crafting the personal pattern to the final stitch. Our materials are sourced from the most renowned suppliers worldwide, and every detail—from buttonholes to inner linings—is crafted with the utmost care.
