Co-founders Peyton Jenkins and Colin Hunter created menswear brand Alton Lane in 2009, after pinpointing a gap in the men's suiting market that was just waiting to be filled. They kicked off the company with a store intended to bridge the gap between experiential and retail. It was located on the 12th floor of a 20-story building on Broadway in New York City. "[Hunter and I] noticed this emerging trend of self-presentation awareness. We were within that crowd, and while we had no fashion or apparel background, we loved the idea of a challenge," Jenkins said on the latest episode of The Glossy Podcast. "At the time, no one was focused on experiential retail ... not like they are today. We thought, 'If we could combine these two things -- better access to fit and a better supply chain -- and through a much better experience, then there was something there.' And we just ran with it." Since its inception, the brand has become the official menswear partner of BHLDN, Anthropologie's wedding brand. And within the last two months, it launched on TikTok. With both of these moves giving the company a boost, its plans include strong growth in 2023.
Starting his career in finance and acquisitions, Peyton Jenkins pivoted in the midst of 2008's tumultuous financial market to pursue his passion in suiting and custom wear. Attributing his drive to his own need for custom fitting, Peyton co-founded Alton Lane, a leader in premium custom menswear that brings luxury craftsmanship and personal style to suiting, formalwear, sportswear, footwear, accessories and more. Creating a unique process that celebrates individual style and pioneering a virtual custom fit algorithm, Peyton and his team at Alton Lane turn customers into designers with “Made For You” trimmings, fabrics and fits—precisely tailoring down to the millimeter and servicing clients from the comfort of their homes.

In this episode of the Gordon Podcast, the ne'er do well twin brother of Gordon Magazine, we’re talking to Colin Hunter, CEO and co-founder of technology-driven custom tailor Alton Lane. This episode is part two of a two-part interview with Colin. In this episode Colin tells us about the wider applications of body scan in retail -- where it could revolutionize retail, and areas where it decidedly will not. He also discusses the recipe for success around in-store robotics, and what parts of the customer experience still require a human touch. If you missed part one of our interview with Colin, you'll definitely want to check it out. We discuss how body scan is enhancing the customer experience. We also discuss how bodyscanning has eliminated the need for custom tailors, but that these measurement robots might just be the saviors that keep custom tailoring alive. Gordon Magazine is an online publication that believes in the inherent value of face-to-face communications which, when done right, provide insights, enrichment, and joy that you just can't get from a screen. Gordon magazine highlights this value by covering best practices and opportunities in brick-and-mortar retail. Learn more at www.gordonmag.com.
In this episode of Gordon, the unimaginatively named podcast of Gordon Magazine, we’re talking to Colin Hunter, CEO and co-founder of technology-driven custom tailor Alton Lane. This episode is part one of a two-part interview with Colin. In this episode, Colin discusses how body scan is enhancing the customer experience. We also discuss how bodyscanning has essentially made the custom tailor obsolete but that this might just be what keeps custom tailoring alive for the next generation of sartorially inclined consumers.

“When you are a hammer,” it is said, “everything looks like a nail.” I believe that Gen Z has a corollary to this, which is: “when you are a screen, everything looks like a problem that you can solve using a screen.” I strongly disagree with this philosophy, so much so that I launched Gordon Magazine, to show that the most delightful and enriching experiences happen face-to-face. Gordon magazine highlights this value by covering best practices and opportunities in brick-and-mortar retail. Learn more at www.gordonmag.com. Gordon is the podcast of Gordon Magazine. In the very first interview of Gordon, we're speaking to Colin Hunter, Co-founder and CEO of Alton Lane, a company that leverages bodyscanning technology to change the in-store experience in men's fine tailoring... while, also, using it destroy the person who the whole darned podcast was named for. Pretty darned rude, if you ask me. Actually, it's okay - Colin and I patch things up at the end. We also get a chance to discuss the impact of bodyscanning across all of retail, the future of men's tailoring, and why technologists seem to be the only ones good at creating in-store customer experiences in retail anymore.

Will online shopping and AI combine to kill the high street clothing store?Ed Butler gets himself digitally measured up in order to try on outfits in cyberspace, with the help of Tom Adeyoola, founder of virtual browsing business Metail. Meanwhile Julia Boesch - who runs Outfittery, one of Europe's biggest online fashion retailers, out of her office in Berlin - explains how artificial intelligence is enabling her company to provide customers with the kind of individualised style advice they would normally find in a bespoke tailors.So is the roll-out of AI-enhanced phone-based services going to revolutionise the way we buy our attire? Yes, says Achim Berg of consultants McKinsey - but not quite yet.(Picture: Body scan to provide exact measurements at custom tailoring shop Alton Lane in Washington DC; Credit: Marvin Joseph/The Washington Post via Getty Images)
Subscription box services may be the big apparel movement right now, but tech and data are allowing at least one company to go in a very different direction: custom tailoring. Colin Hunter is the CEO and co-founder of high-end men’s fashion company Alton Lane, and his goal is to make that retail experience personal — like, really personal. His company uses body scanners to get your body measurements in a matter of seconds, which are then sent to fabric makers who construct garments to order (which, of course, is not cheap). Also, the company’s showrooms have bartenders on duty to serve drinks. Hunter tells us why his company’s brand of retail could be the future, and how customer data could change the role of retail as we know it.
