Decades of History in Custom Tailoring

What John H. Daniel Stands For

For nearly a century, the name John H. Daniel has represented world-class custom tailoring in Knoxville and beyond. As custom tailors, we have created suits and tailored menswear for American presidents, five-star generals, professional athletes, television personalities, and accomplished individuals across the globe.

This tradition continues daily in our shop and showroom as we proudly provide a trusted custom clothing experience to each client we serve.

The Story Begins…

Our History

Founded in 1928 by John Hanna Daniel in Rome, Georgia, the John H. Daniel Company was built on a simple belief: every customer deserves to be treated like family. In 1932, John partnered with W. C. Bryan and moved the business to Jackson Avenue in Knoxville, Tennessee—laying the foundation for a tailoring house that would grow into a family-owned legacy under the Bryans.

During World War II, W. C. Bryan served his country with distinction in both the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. When he returned, he brought the same dedication and integrity to the business. In 1968, his son joined as a partner, guiding the company into a new era of American tailoring while keeping its values at the core.

Today, John H. Daniel remains proudly family-owned and operated. Under three generations of Bryan family leadership, we welcome each customer as part of our extended family—making every fitting personal, every detail thoughtful, and every garment a reflection of skill, care, and heritage.
