If the suit is to be saved it may be at the hands of Beggars Run, a London-based tailoring operation with an eye for unorthodox fabrics that opens its first New York showroom on November 30. This Atlantic crossing is the latest chapter in an unlikely origin story that began in 2010, when co-founder Cian McAuliffe was running an “East End boozer” in London. 

McAuliffe, an Irish native, had been interested in clothing from a young age, and after initially attempting to launch a leather bag business decided to set his sights on tailoring. His lucky break came when friends operating another pub in a Victorian building offered him the use of its third floor as a showroom—without the knowledge of the building’s owner.

“No one really knew about it,” McAuliffe recalls of the business’s first days. “Customers would come in through the pub saying, ‘Beggars Run, is it somewhere here?’”
