BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — Meet the man who has had the opportunity to outfit many LSU players and has built his company to over 40 franchises across the United States.

Nathan Pearce has been in the clothing business his entire career but started making custom clothing in 2019. He makes tuxedos, sportcoats, trousers, casual suits, dress shirts, chinos, overcoats and raincoats.

“I learned the ins and outs of the business from a traveling master tailor out of New York City by traveling the country with him,” said Pearce. “I partnered with some of the best tailor shops in the world who handle the cut and sew. I handle the fabric selections, product designs that our franchise system offers.

His company, Pearce Bespoke Franchising , has more than 40 franchises across the country and its main corporation location is in Baton Rouge.

Pearce explained that the suits “start at just $900, our average price is $1,200 and the cost is based on fabric composition and construction.”

“Our goal is to make it super convenient for customers to buy, said Pearce. “We do this by creating a service and going to the client. Most of our clients are busy professionals, so saving them time, their most valuable source is a huge value add.”

Pearce has worked with several local clients, including attorneys, bankers, financial advisors and realtors. He has also worked with some LSU student-athletes, including Emery Jones, Will Campbell, Malik Nabers and Jayden Daniels.

He said that he was already making suits for Daniels for many of his home football games, but Pearce got the opportunity of a lifetime to make Daniels’ suit for the 2023 Heisman Trophy ceremony.

“When he was announced as a finalist for the Heisman, his mom reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in making a suit,” Pearce said. “Jayden picked the entire outfit himself, he was super decisive and knew exactly what he wanted. He wanted to keep it extremely classy, so he went with a three-piece suit with wide peak lapels, cuffed/pleated trousers. Kind of a modern fit on an old-school look.”

Pearce stated that the biggest accomplishment is the team that he has built with his company.
