About Miguel’s Raleigh | Master Tailors & Appointment-Only Bespoke Clothiers
Excellence. Craftsmanship. Character
The Miguel’s Story
Miguel’s began with a revolutionary premise: that every man deserves to experience the confidence that comes from impeccably crafted clothing AND the satisfaction of making a meaningful difference in the world.
Our Founder’s Journey
Founded by Michael T. Claude Jr., Miguel’s represents years of studying the finest tailoring traditions while developing innovative processes that deliver superior results. But we didn’t just study these traditions; we perfected them for the contemporary man of character.
The Miguel’s Philosophy: Armor and Chivalry
Inspired by the classic American gentleman of the 1960s and ‘70s—when men understood that true strength came from character, not volume—Miguel’s creates clothing that serves as both armor for confidence and symbol of chivalry. Every garment reflects our belief that how you present yourself reflects who you are inside.
We draw inspiration from an era when men said “Yes sir” and “No sir,” when a man’s word was his bond, when holding doors and offering seats were natural expressions of strength through service.
