User Reviews for Alan David Custom
05/17/2008 Posted by suitman
I had been wearing Department Store suits for years. In an effort to spruce up my wardrobe (I am an accountant and I only wear suits a few days a week) I decided to treat myself to a custom suit. I found Alan David online and took a shot and I must tell you it was a great find. I bought a blue stripe super 120's fabric for about $1,100. I was a bit skeptical at first with all the measurements and styling questions. The owner, Alan, asked me everything and then some down to the amount and colors of the suits I currently have in my closet. Anyway, the suit came in about 3 weeks later and needed only minor adjustments. It really fi well. I did not even have that little roll behind the collar that I always got on my other suits. My one complaint is that when I came back for my next fitting they were very busy and I had to wait about 20 minutes just to try the suit on. Alan explained that everything was by appointment so one customer does not back up on the other. In fairness, I did not schedule an appointment for the fitting. I never review anything but I really think its important to share that I found a place that seems to really care. Not only is their staff great, but Alan really took the time to walk me through the process and insistantly kept asking me if I was comfortable at every aspect of the process-from picking fabrics to styling the suit (2 button, 3 button etc.). He is probably in his early 40's but really understands how to make somebody feel comfortable. I could have probably spent a little less someplace else but I would rather be with someone who really cares. They even told me they would alter the suit for free if I gained or lost a few pounds-no charge. I highly recommend!!!
Pros: Really good quality and fit and an owner that actually cares.
Cons: Not really a con but they seem to do a lot of business so schedule an Appt. before going.

My Husband had a custom tuxedo created here and I must say its the best fitted item he owns in his closet. I would love for him to go back and have a few of his suits made by Alan David as well. I guess I will have to toss out his old ones first. Very Great work is done here at prices that dont seem to be custom.

I met Alan a few years back when Moe Ginsberg closed shop. I then started shopping at Alan David, his store down on Fulton Street. He is very professional and knows what he is talking about when it comes to suits and sport coats. His fashion knowledge, fabric quality and tailoring is superior to anything you'd fine in a regular retail outfit. I would never buy a suit or sport coat again from a retail store.

The tailor came to my place and took my measurements, Volia I had the best suit I've even owned. I'll never buy from the department store again. The prices are almost the same but the fit and quality is Great! The service was amazing because all I had to do was stand there for less than 10 mins. and of course pick the cut and the fabric swatch. Alan David menswear is the Best!

I send our clients here and they are never disappointed. The workmanship is great for the prices. Its almost unbealivable that you can get a Custom Tuxedo for off the shelf prices. I dont know what the suits are like but if its anything like the formal wear. I would Say GO FOR IT! I suggest this company because they have an on-site mesuring service where they "come to you" That works well with our clients schedule.
Pros: Highly skilled taliors, they come to your location to measure.
