About
J. Michaels was founded in 1989 by Mike Mahaffey, beginning in a 100-year-old home on West End Avenue. The business grew through personal consultations with accomplished men on how to use clothing effectively. In 2014, the company expanded by purchasing the adjacent building and establishing Haymakers and Co., its upscale men’s store, which functions as the retail component of the hybrid custom-tailor and specialty-shop model. The combination of an in-house tailoring operation and a stocked menswear floor remains central to how the business describes itself.

The bespoke and made-to-measure programs are built around the store’s relationships with eight custom clothing makers and four custom shirt makers, allowing garments to be constructed to a client’s measurements and specifications. Premium mill fabrics from houses such as Loro Piana, Zegna, Holland and Sherry, Scabal, Reda, and Vitale Barberis Canonico are used in the custom work, while the ready-made floor stocks established menswear and footwear brands. The adjacent Haymakers and Co. store, established in 2014 after the company purchased the neighboring building, extends the business’s offering of upscale ready-made menswear alongside its custom tailoring services, reinforcing the hybrid model of a custom tailor combined with a men’s specialty shop. In-house tailoring, including hand-sewn buttonholes performed by a master tailor, supports both the custom and ready-made sides of the business.
