Our Story

DSC_7550-2 2

For Aaron Comes, founder and president of Frederick Lynn, an appreciation for fine clothing began at an early age. Each morning, he watched his father dress in a suit and tie for work, noting the care and intention behind every detail. He still recalls his mother hand-pressing his father’s shirts daily—small rituals that quietly shaped his meticulous eye and instinctive understanding of style.

Aaron went on to earn a degree in Marketing and Textiles before moving to Chicago, where he spent eight years working for the world’s largest custom clothing manufacturer. During this time, he gained invaluable insight into how men want their clothing to feel, function, and fit into their lives. Recognizing a gap in the marketplace, Aaron set out to create something more personal, more refined, and more experience-driven.

In the third year of Frederick Lynn—named using a combination of his parents’ middle names—the business evolved from a direct model to the opening of its first Chicago showroom. This marked a pivotal moment, allowing Aaron to offer one-on-one appointments and a curated, relaxed environment that emphasized craftsmanship, personal styling, and exceptional service. Frederick Lynn began to establish itself not only as a luxury clothier, but as a lifestyle brand.

In 2021, Aaron relocated the business to downtown Hinsdale, undertaking a multi-year renovation of a 6,500-square-foot building in the village’s historic business district. The result is Frederick Lynn’s luxury showroom, located on the second floor—an inviting space designed to deliver an elevated, highly personalized client experience.

Today, Aaron continues to grow Frederick Lynn’s presence in Hinsdale, deepening community involvement while remaining committed to the principles that have defined the brand from the beginning: precision, craftsmanship, and clothing designed to reflect the character of the individual wearing it.

What makes us different?

Our team is small. We’re involved in every stage of the process… such as measuring, creating the designs, production, selling, fitting, marketing and taking out the garbage. When someone buys from us, they work with us.

  1. We are former members of the corporate world.  (We know the hidden secrets of the industry.)
  2. We are entrepreneurs at our core.  (The old model was broken, we fixed it.)
  3. We believe our clients are looking for something different.  (We have different.)
  4. We think outside the box and find solutions.  (We’re not square.)
  5. We love technology and efficiency.  (If we don’t have the answer, we have smart geek friends to help.)
  6. We take our work very seriously, not ourselves.  (We promise to not be boring.)
  7. We are a growing business, building a business around our clients. (Tell us how we can help.)
  8. We will tell the truth. (“made-to-measure” is NOT “custom” or “bespoke”)

Our Process

Frederick Lynn specializes in hand tailored apparel for men, women and children. We offer a “made-to-measure” as well as a true “custom” garment. To complete the look, we offer a selection of unique furnishings and accessories. We schedule client appointments in advance to best prepare for your appointment. (New clients should budget 1 – 1.5 hours for a new appointment.)

1. Consultation

Our goal is to maximize and make sense of your wardrobe. We discuss wants and needs, while putting a wardrobe plan together that makes sense for you.

2. Choose Fabrics

We source the world’s finest fabrics from traditional to high end fashion. We also carry several unique, one-of-a-kind fabric collections.

3. Style & Design

After the fabrics are chosen, we discuss style and design.

4. Measurements

Up to 40 measurements will be taken to create an outfit.

5. Lead Time

Depending on the fabric and “make” chosen, lead time can take 4-8 weeks once the order is placed.  50% deposit required on all custom clothing.

6. Fitting

Once the clothing arrives there will be a fitting appointment to ensure the correct fit.

7. Final Delivery

After the fitting appointment the clothing will be ready for pick up in a week or less and the final 50% is collected.
