Kambale J. Kambere.

It began with advice

YB started in 2013 as a menswear blog, offering men of all ages advice on style and the importance of presentation, as an image consultant. We grew our audience, and with it grew the demand for our label, Yohana Balibonera, now known as YB Tailoring.

Dressed for the stage

YB has had the privilege of designing and styling for local and international athletes, actors and artists, among them Fally Ipupa and Diamond Platnumz, and for the GQ Men of the Year.

One man, his full attention

Every client still gets the same thing: John's full attention, honest advice and a garment made for him alone. As one client put it, "John from YB is a pleasure. He is so easy to work with and knows his craft so incredibly well."

Tailored for a Legacy

Our goal is simple: to offer the finest, most personal garment you have ever worn, executed with the utmost attention to detail. See how we work, or try a look in the fitting room.

By hand, the old way.

Our YB Signature line is made by hand in our Italian based atelier, using traditional tailoring methods. Whatever the line, our own in house tailors make any adjustment your garment needs at your follow up fitting.

It is slow work, and it is the reason a YB suit is cut for one man only. See YB Signature or how we work.
