ABOUT 2FIFTY
CUSTOM CLOTHING, REPAIRS, ALTERATIONS, SEWING CLASSES, SAMPLES, AND SMALL BATCH WORK - CUT, SEWN, REPAIRED, AND REWORKED IN HOUSE.
The 2FIFTY way.
2fifty Clothing is a Brooklyn-based custom clothing house built for people who want more than something pulled off a rack.Named after the founder's childhood address number, 2FIFTY Clothing is a Brooklyn-based atelier built on craftsmanship, individuality, and purpose. Established in 2021, everything we create is made-to-order and produced in-house—no mass production, no outsourcing, no shortcuts.
We make custom garments, repair and rebuild pieces worth keeping, teach sewing classes, and help designers bring samples and small-batch projects to life. Everything happens in-house — cutting, sewing, fitting, repairing, finishing, and problem-solving.
No mass production. No factory feel. No throwaway mindset. Just real clothing work, done with intention.
No mass production. No factory feel. No throwaway mindset. Just real clothing work, done with intention.
Rooted in sustainable practices and inspired by upcycling techniques, we focus on quality over quantity. Every piece is cut and sewn in our Brooklyn studio.
What services do we offer?
Custom Garment Construction
One-of-one pieces made around your body, your references, your fabric, and your vision. Jackets, pants, shirts, statement pieces, everyday staples — if the idea is there, we help build it.
Alterations & Repairs
For the pieces you still care about. We alter, repair, reinforce, reshape, and rebuild clothing so it fits better, lasts longer, and stays in your rotation.
Sewing Classes
Hands-on sewing classes for people who want to learn how to make, fix, alter, customize, or understand clothing from the inside out.
So, what does it look like to work with 2FIFTY?
Learn more about our process. Every garment has its own construction, fabric, wear, and limits. We review the piece first, explain what is possible, and make sure the direction is clear before any work begins. We take the time to understand the project, measure properly, sample when needed, and refine the fit before final construction.
01 — Consultation
We talk through the garment, references, fabric, fit, purpose, timeline, and budget so the project starts with clear direction.
02 — Measurements in studio or at your home
Measurements can be taken in our Brooklyn studio or at your location when the project calls for it. The goal is a fit that works in real life, not just on paper.
03 — Quote & Approval
Once we understand the work, we provide a clear quote based on time, complexity, fabric, and construction. No work starts until the scope is approved and a deposit has been made.
04 — Sample or fitting
For many custom garments, we create a sample first so the proportions, movement, and fit can be adjusted before the final fabric is cut.
05 — Final Review
Before the garment leaves the studio, we review the finish, fit, and repair quality so it is ready to wear again.
A message from our founder.
Yerr, it’s Jonas. I started 2FIFTY in 2021 during COVID, sewing masks for local hospitals that ran out of PPE. The atelier’s named after the street number where it all began—a reminder that everything’s crafted in-house, just like day one.
After working the Kidsuper 2019 Fashion Week show, I fell in love with sustainable fashion and upcycling. Now, we focus on custom-made garments, pattern cutting/sample construction, and repairs/alterations—all built to last. Every piece is cut, stitched, and finished in our Brooklyn studio, blending traditional tailoring with custom design for fits that actually fit. No mass production, no waste—just intentional craftsmanship.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes 2FIFTY different from a regular tailor?
A regular tailor usually focuses on standard alterations. 2fifty does that, but we also approach clothing from a custom and creative construction mindset. We can alter, repair, rebuild, rework, customize, or create pieces from scratch. The goal is not just to “fix” clothing — it is to make the piece feel better, fit better, and make more sense for the person wearing it.
Do you make clothing from scratch?
Yes. We create custom clothing from the ground up, including one-of-one garments, personal pieces, statement items, wardrobe staples, and select designer or brand projects. The process usually starts with a conversation, references, measurements, fabric direction, and a clear plan before anything is cut or sewn.
Can I bring in a garment I already own?
Yes. A lot of our work starts with something someone already owns — jeans that need repair, a jacket that needs reshaping, pants that almost fit right, or a piece with sentimental value that deserves another life. We will review the garment, explain what is possible, and recommend the best direction.
What is the best way to start a project with 2FIFTY?
Start by reaching out with what you have: a garment, an idea, a reference, a repair need, a class request, or a sample project. From there, we will review the details, ask the right questions, explain what is possible, and guide you toward the right service.
Do you work with designers, artists, and small brands?
Yes. We work with designers, artists, and small brands on sample development, pattern cutting, first pieces, one-off pieces, and small-batch projects. This is especially helpful for people who have an idea but need help turning it into a real garment.
Work with 2FIFTY
Got an idea, a piece or a project?
