Aldabaldetreku: four decades dedicated to the task of dressing the human body
It is obvious that the proportions of the Vitruvian Man, drawn by Leonardo da Vinci back in 1492, do not correspond to those of the vast majority of individuals. His study of the ideal proportions for the human body may be applicable to paper models, but it does not represent the real diversity that surrounds us. Faced with this plurality of body shapes, sizes, heights, and tones, it is not always easy to find suitable clothing – and this is where tailors come into play. They are tasked with creating custom suits for each individual man.
In the Basque Country, there is a tailor shop that has stood out for more than four decades in the field of dressing the human body, a field often taken for granted: Aldabaldetreku. Located in San Sebastián, this family business has stood the test of time thanks to the variety, quality, and design of its garments, as well as the personalized service they offer. Under the slogan “Don’t be just anyone; be yourself,” this tailor shop provides advising services and custom makes garments for men which fit with daily realities (suits for work, uniforms, street clothes) and special occasions (suits for grooms and wedding guests). Their refreshing take on tailoring has resonated with a wide and varied spectrum of men, precisely because of their desire to provide solutions adapted to a diverse society.
To make their suits, Aldabaldetreku uses fine fabrics from Italy, the United Kingdom, and Spain. They are also an exclusive representative of certain brands in the city: Ramón Sanjurjo, Roberto Vicentti, El Mono con Pajarita, Yellow Skin, La Vespita, and The Surfcar, among others. Likewise, they have highly original accessories like wooden cufflinks and suspenders and bow ties made of cork, wood, and resin. This broad range of services and the professionalism of their tailors are the ingredients that guarantee that each and every Aldabaldetreku customer will leave the store looking great (or like a Renaissance man).
