"Everybody knows me," says the 73-year-old Mr. Pelle, one of a dwindling generation of "master tailors." His A-list clients include Henry Heimlich, the inventor of the famed antichoking maneuver, whose son recently bought him a cummerbund and white tie from Mr. Pelle's shop for Father's Day; James Zimmerman, the ex-chairman of the company that is now Macy's Inc., who recently had Mr. Pelle make a silk-cashmere coat; and Peter Frampton, the 1970s rocker who brought his wedding tuxedo to Mr. Pelle to be restyled.
