HISTORY

Our Story

Samuel Baron Clothiers is a locally-owned custom clothing company located in the heart of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Founded in 2011 by Amy Baron Brourman, our mission is to craft high-quality, hand stitched garments, using only the finest, sustainable fabrics from around the world and sewn with expertise and care. When so much today seems to be mass-produced to last only a single season, we remain committed to providing one-of-a kind clothing that will stand the test of time.  We strive to build a long-lasting relationship with each client. We want to grow with you as your life and clothing needs evolve. Never a one-size-fits-all model, we customize your appointment with us sharing selections that are the best choice for you and your lifestyle. Through conversation and collaboration, we will work together to build a wardrobe that suits the seasons of your life.

Amy Baron Brourman

Founder & Master Clothier
Since founding Samuel Baron Clothiers in 2011, Amy Baron Brourman has redefined custom menswear with a highly personalized approach. Known for her meticulous attention to detail, she ensures every garment meets the highest standards. As a woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry, she has built a reputation as a trusted expert, growing her all-women business and serving clients in both Pittsburgh and New York City, where she is originally from.

Amy moved to Pittsburgh in 1988, where she built both her career and her family. She takes tremendous pride in being a mother to her children, Sam, Isabelle, and Emily, and adores her role as a grandmother to her grandson, Asher. She lives in Squirrel Hill with her fiancé, David Malone, and their beloved dog, Atticus.

With over twenty years of experience in the retail and fashion industry, Amy is a certified Master Clothier who has worked with countless notable brands, honing her expertise in luxury craftsmanship. Her mission has always been to create not just custom clothing, but a tailored experience—one that clients treasure and return to for every milestone in their lives. Through her work, she has cultivated lasting relationships with many of Pittsburgh’s most influential figures, helping them look and feel their best through impeccable, custom-made clothing.

Beyond luxury menswear, Amy is deeply involved in the arts. She serves on the Advisory Board and Collections Committee for the Andy Warhol Museum, which allows her to pursue her passion for collecting and appreciating art. She enjoys cooking, baking, sailing, and staying active in her free time—especially at Pure Barre.

Karie Thomas

Sales Manager & Clothier, Co-Partner
Karie Thomas has been a dedicated part of the Samuel Baron Clothiers team for over 10 years, and her commitment has earned her a position as a co-partner in the business. Known for her warmth, creativity, and attention to detail, she’s passionate about making every client’s experience seamless and enjoyable. 

Karie decided to make Pittsburgh her home after graduating from The University of Pittsburgh. She lives in Lawrenceville with her husband, Mark, and their two dogs, Fender and Teddy. A true creative at heart, she’s always coming up with clever ideas to showcase the business and enhance the SBC experience. Beyond menswear, she also plays essential roles in two small, local businesses — Snocono and PartyOf — while exploring new hobbies. When she’s not working, you might spot her zipping through the city on a Vespa.
