Strongly Disagree

by sevenrivera at Citysearch

I have to disagree with Matt222. I have always been notoriously difficult to fit (short, thick neck, broad chest, narrow waist, uneven sloped shoulders and short t-rex arms) and I can't even attempt to get anything off the rack and tailored, even at the high end retailers. I have tried various custom tailors around the city to mixed results at best, but then some friends recommended Izzy and LS and I am completely sold. My suit looks amazing and fits perfectly after only the second fitting and the shirts are tremendous. And unlike some of the other shops I have tried, the turnaround time is remarkably fast.

I fully expect Izzy to fill the rest of my wardrobe this year.

Custom??

by Matt222 at Citysearch

I wondered how these guys could make "made-to-measure" suits so cheaply, and I soon found out.

The suits are not made-to-measure. They have you try on pre-fabricated, standard-sized jackets and pants to figure out your size, then they sort of pretend to do some measuring, briefly. The suit is made in the pre-fab size with the fabric you chose. I'm certain that the only number that goes to the actual suitmaker is a one number size. Since the suit is made for you, technically, they somehow rationalize calling them "custom made." They are not custom made in the sense that designation is usually used in suitmaking.

The product, predictably, fits poorly and looks worse. Alterations after one more fitting didn't much help.

This place is a pain to get to and positively not worth it. Do not go.

New Yorks best custom suits

by ASASASAS at Citysearch

I have gone to a few places for a made to measure suit. Ls mens was by far the best. Quick (only went twice had my suit in less than 3 weeks), Helpful (Had a young women sit with me and help me choose the best material for my needs), fit was perfect (I have sloped shoulders and a bit of a hunched back so I am not the easiest fit and it looks great couldnt ask for a better fit). Once I saw how well the suits came out I ordered about 10 new shirts. What impressed me was that Izzy recommended I order one shirt first, see how I like it and then he would place the rest of my order, this way I was able to make sure it was perfect. The price of the shirts were cheaper than me going to a regular store and buying them off the rack and believe me they looked much nicer.

My .02

by Michael95 at Citysearch

Having been an LS customer for a few years now, any issues that I've historically had with custom clothing have been corrected by Izzy even if he disagreed with my personal preferences.

I also recently tore one pair of pants that I purchased from LS a few years back and instead of just suggesting that I buy a new pair (which I was willing to do) he used the excess material to fix it at no charge.

In my opinion, the allure of the store is not the aesthetics of the shop, it is the quality of the product which is something I have never had a problem with. The only issue I have ever had were the 20-25 minutes wait to get Izzy's opinion based on his increased clientele and based on the fact that he treats the customers who spend $100 with the same dilligence as the ones who spend thousands.

Although I can't speak for everyone's experience I can attest to the fact that I'm not on Izzy's payroll. I'm just a loyal patron.

LS Men's Clothing: Outstanding

by TweedGuy at Citysearch

I have been an LS Men's Clothing customer for years, so I speak from experience. That experience has been overwhelmingly positive! I have bought several suits and sport jackets, and they all turned out great. I could not be more pleased with the service and final (made-to-measure) product.

I mentioned the suits and sport jackets. Well, I've also purchased made-to-measure shirts and custom-made trousers. Fantastic.

To the amazement of some, there are (still, after all these years) men who prefer the classic American ("Ivy League") style--natural shoulder, no darts, center (hooked) vent, lapped seams, etc. I can say without hesitation that LS Men's Clothing is the place to go if you continue to prefer this style. From the fabric selection to the tailors, the finished product is spot on.

Izzy pays close attention to requests, and has an eye for detail. It is no wonder that so many men remain devoted customers of LS Men's Clothing.

A five star rating from me because it is deserved.
