They fixed my pants in under an hour

by Macrrp at Citysearch

I was sedperate for a tailor. I was getting married on Saturday and it was already Wednesday. The pants on my wedding suit at the bottom of the zipper was laying awful. Its hard to expleain but at the end of the zipper the fabric was bunching up causing a big indentation. It looked horroble. I went to 3 different tailors that week and none of them were able to fix it, it actually kept getting worse because of all the new alterations. I had bought the suit in Italy about a month ago and just never realized it. I went to Alan David and in one day they fixed it. They explained to me that the rise in the back was too short and was putting too much presssure on the zipper area. i am not going to pretend that I know what that means but they fixed it, it looked excellent, they saved the day. I want eveybody out there to know how happy i was.

Love em-will never leave em-I am now the man in the grey flannel suit, and he never looked so good. This place can even make flannel look trim. I look like James bond for half the price of my thief tailor from Florida. I even feel like a New Yorker.

Mad Men suits

by LAS22 at Citysearch

Mad Men show has awesome suits, wanted an exact replica fit. No problem, I was told. I had heard it all before, except this time it was not any problem at all. Suit fit me fabulous, barely and extra fabric. Very very slim. My favorite suit now.

Quick turnaround

by Michaelnetwork at Citysearch

Like magic they got me a custom tuxedo for my brothers wedding in 4 days! Fit was fantastic. Would be 5 stars but price was $1300, wanted to spend less but went for the quality. I do not profess to know a lot about clothing, all I know is they bailed me out so kudos to them. Nice peaople as well, ask for Scott, he looks old but knows his stuff.
