Owner/Style Advisor

Terrell is not someone who fell into the custom-clothing business. Nor was it a backup option for him. The appreciation he has for fashion and style is really in his blood.

Terrell’s maternal grandmother, a self-taught seamstress and alterationist, had a sense of style he noticed and admired as a child. His grandmother passed her gifts on to most of her daughters, including his mother. Between the influence of his mother, hip-hop culture and even preppy schoolmates, Terrell started getting serious about the clothes he wore while he was in middle school.

Avenue Parkwood

Avenue Parkwood specializes in quality men’s tailored clothing—shirts, suits, outercoats and more. The clothing is constructed by skilled CMT garment makers, and clients are offered some of the finest fabrics from which to choose.

Our primary objective is to make sure clients are confident, knowing they will be wearing clothing that is best suited for them and no one else.
