Mobile custom suit company expands, again, with downtown St. Pete store

For Donald Carson, the clothing business is a natural fit, and now his Tweeds custom clothier brand, which started out of a single box truck in 2019 in Sarasota, is expanding to include a location in St.Pete. 

Tweeds began as a mobile custom suit business in that truck, a novelty business with a neat niche. He opened his first storefront, a 1,700-square-foot space in Sarasota on First Street, near City Hall, early last year. He opened a second space, a 650-square-foot location in Tampa in the Hyde Park neighborhood last October. And the downtown St. Pete location, a 1,500-square-foot location in the 800 block of Central Avenue, is expected to open in May.
