Great Place for Made to Measure Suits Blazers

by Mason Petty at Citysearch

Ordered a made-to-measure Southwick blazer from L.S. Men's Clothing and had a great experience for two reasons.

1. Cost--They got me this jacket for SIGNIFICANTLY less than what other shops quoted me for Southwick made-to-measure. They even added working buttonholes on the sleeves for a fraction of what I have seen other places ask for.

2. Customer Service/Experience--Izzy has apparently been in this business a LONG time. Was a little unsure on a couple details/aspects of fit. Took Izzy's advice and the blazer came out perfect--couldn't be happier.

• Pros: Price, Quality, Experience
• Cons: No idea

great place for well priced fashionable suits

by pthome at Citysearch

I recently got hired for a new job after having lost mine about a year ago. I decided to upgrade my look and after hearing about LS Mens Clothing from many of my old co-workers I figured why not give it a shot. I must say I was pleased with the service and promptness of delivery. Not only was I able to get measured and fit from the owner of the store, someone who has many years experience in the industry, he sat with me and helped me decide which patterns best fit my build. I was impressed that Izzy reccomended I start with 1 suit a few shirt and 1 sport jacket, to see how I liked the fit before ordering more (most owners would be pushy and just want to sell the most they can).

When the suits came in I was very pleased and to say the least order a whole bunch more. I will definitely be going back and will be recommending it to my friends and family.

• Pros: good prices, fit, service, selection

The Best Clothing Value in NYC

by MarkSeitelman at Citysearch

LS Mens Clothes has the best clothing values in New York City. Its humble premises, on the third floor of a nondescript office building, belie the clothing riches inside.

I have been a customer for about 20 years. I have bought both ready to wear and custom. Its made to measure offerings are strong in that four manufacturers are offered: H. Freeman of Philadelphia, Southwick, Coppley, and a local workshop.

H. Freeman and the local workshop make a suit which is superior to Hickey Freeman. I have received more compliments on my LS suits than some of my other suits (including those made on the fabled Savile Row) which have cost two to four times as much.

LS is a a significant customer of H. Freeman. It has been able to get H. Freeman to offer a new model based on LS's suggestions.

You can personalize the styling and detailing of your suit, such as working sleeve buttonholes, linings, ticket pockets, and pick stitching.

On the made to measure side the cloth selection is huge. You can order from the manufacturers' swatch collections or from the sample books of Holland & Sherry, Loro Piana, Barberis, and Gladson.

LS also has a wonderful pantsmaker who can copy your favorite pants. He makes a handmade trouser with handsewing and pick stitching. In fact, he makes my suit trousers. I have also had LS's in-house tailor make the vest, and he has done an excellent job.

It also has good things in ready to wear. You have to do a little searching among the overstocks from H. Freeman, Hickey Freeman, and Burberry. I started as a ready to wear customer. I still buy an occasional raincoat and overcoat.

LS has the lowest prices in town on made to measure shirts from Individualized Shirts which makes both a standard shirt and more handmade shirt under the y'Pres label.

Finally, Izzy is a lovely, honest, and reputable person. It is a family business which his mother-in-law started. She is the LS in the name.
