Another vote for using your own name or an idealized easier-to-spell version of it.

I think the best name for classic tailored men's clothing is one where there is a real person or family behind the business. You can always add a "tagline" if you feel the need for extra messaging. Such as:

Michael Surname: Fine Clothier
or
Michael Surname: Luxe Tailoring

Good luck.

p.s. if you choose to use your own name, do chorse, pocketsquareguy and me get to split the suit?

That's sort of the point.

Made by Undisclosed Chinese Tailors (MUCT)

MUCT Custom

At that price point, it's going to be like your typical TAT suit so might as well let others know it's made in China. If you're the designer then name the company after you or a Romanized version of your name.

Michael=> Michaelus Clothiers, etc.

+1 on Michael 1981. Kind of like Brooks Brother's 1881 line but for the modern up and coming professionals.

Do you have a brother? Your last name + Brothers. That's gold.
Or an associate who has a catchy name then Your last name & His last name. Also gold. I'll PM you my measurements later.

+1 on the law firm style two-name name: Surname & Surname. That always work in my book. Bonus points if your suits are English cut. If you don't have a partner, you can always just repeat your last name. Sort of like the royal "we".
