Title: Owner
Name of Organization: The
Dapper Club
Ricardo Perez passion for lu-
xury clothing began early when
he was influenced by the style of
The Rat Pack era -- renowned for
luxurious lifestyles, sharp suits,
and debonair personalities --
which he began to apply to his
own life.
Perez joined the Marine
Corps where he specialized in
creating small explosives. In the
military the attention to detail
and polished uniforms further
influenced his approach to style
and tailoring. After the Marines,
he began a sales career and wor-
ked in banking and telecommu-
nications. His knowledge and
love for clothing grew as he be-
gan to offer styling advice to clo-
se friends and family in selecting
their wardrobe and tailoring.
Frustrated with the lack of
control in ready to wear and li-
mited styling options, The Dap-
per Club came to fruition in
2014. His goals were to provide
a quality, perfectly fitted gar-
ment in a stress-free experience.
He created a club where clients
don't feel pressured, feel like fa-
mily and show the potential of
what custom luxury can provide.
The Dapper Club has sin-
ce grown to be one of the top
custom clothing companies in
Chicago with clients all over the
United States. He's an active sup-
porter of many community cau-
ses including earthquake relief
in Mexico, A Night for the Kids,
a charity assisting underprivile-
ged children receive toys during
the holidays. He and his partner
Miriam, who serves as director
of operations and Womenswear
Designer at the Dapper Club,
have two daughters Aly and Zoe
and a Husky, Drago.
