R. YIN New York · November 2026
Made to measure, made by hand
Slow fashion, made with care: each R. YIN jacket and skirt is cut to your measurements and finished by hand in New York, in tweeds sourced in small quantities.

FAQ
Questions, answered
How does R. YIN's made-to-measure work?
Choose a jacket or skirt silhouette, select your tweed, then take your measurements with our step-by-step guide. We review every detail with you before we cut, and each piece is made by hand in New York from imported English and French tweed.
What's the difference between made to measure and off the rack?
Off-the-rack clothing is cut to standard sizing. Made to measure starts from your selection of our silhouettes, made to your measurements, so it fits you and not everyone else.
How long does a commission take?
Allow 6–8 weeks for your piece to ship. We take that time to ensure its quality and the accuracy of your measurements: we confirm your measurements and finishing choices with you before we cut, and give you a ship date once everything is confirmed.
Why only four commissions this November?
We are opening gently before the holidays, so each piece gets the time it deserves. To keep it fair, it is one piece per client. Our full commissions open in January 2027.
What if I'm not sure about my measurements?
Our guide takes you through one measurement at a time, with a drawing for each and a gentle warning if a number looks unusual. We check every measurement with you before cutting.
What tweeds do you use?
Small runs of tweed made in England or France. Once a tweed is used up, it isn't restocked.
Do you ship outside New York?
We're focused on our U.S. clients for now, so please be patient as we slowly open our doors to the rest of the world.
Can I return or alter a made-to-measure piece?
As each piece is made especially for you, we do not accept returns. See our refund policy.
About R. YIN
A small atelier in New York
R. YIN began with a question: why does the working wardrobe have so little color in it? Our founder studied fashion in London, found her tweeds in its haberdashery shops, and brought them to New York, where every piece is now made to measure and finished by hand.
