David Schottenstein established Astor & Black in 2004 after gaining a talent and passion for high-quality tailoring as a student in Venice, Italy. From a custom suit shop, Astor & Black grew to include fine appurtenances like cufflinks, ties, cashmere socks, and shoes. Astor & Black now has studios in several cities in the United States, Canada, and abroad. With its attention to detail and high quality materials, Astor & Black dresses top executives, entertainers, and professional athletes. Astor & Black contracts fabrics and silk linings from Loro Piana, Scabal, Dormeuil, and the Cupro Bemberg Lining Company.

Every Astor & Black suit comes with specific features and exact tailoring techniques. Astor & Black records precise measurements and alterations so that the garment fits the client perfectly. Using full-basted canvas from Italy, all Astor & Black jackets are fully canvassed for more natural draping, less wrinkling, and exceptional shape. Adding to the look and life of its products, Astor & Black finishes every suit with surgeon cuffs, handpicked stitching, sweat shields, rubberized waistbands, hidden pockets, and hem protectors. In addition to these standard fine elements, Astor & Black makes several dress shirt styles for a variety of client clothing options.
