We had the absolute best experience at Hive & Colony thanks to Allen, the assistant manager. From…read morethe moment we walked in, Allen went above and beyond to make our tuxedo appointment incredible. This was for our wedding -- the most important day of our lives -- and he made sure my fiancé felt completely taken care of every step of the way. Allen has an incredible eye for detail and perfection. Unlike other places we visited (SuitSupply, Indochino, and others) where the service felt rushed and impersonal, Allen gave us his full attention. He made my fiancé feel comfortable, confident, and like a superstar even during the fitting process. If you're looking for someone who truly knows their craft and will treat you like family, we cannot recommend Allen at Hive & Colony enough. When you're purchasing a custom tux or suit for a special occasion, you want him by your side. Thank you, Allen -- you made this important moment even more special for us!

They have so many different styles and options that it can easily be over whelming, but the stylists are so knowledgeable that if you have an idea as to what you want they can point you in the right direction! Not only did I get a great suit, but Andrew was also extremely knowledgeable about the history of suits and we got a nice little history lesson as to why certain things are the way they are. We went in during the World Cup and they put the game on for us. I can't say enough about how great of an experience it was and how highly I recommend checking them out! (I'd post pics of my suit, but my fiancé hasn't seen it yet and I don't want her to stumble across it here).

I happened along the Tailored Man through a simple google search about 8 weeks before my recent…read morewedding. I was seeking a custom tuxedo to match the wedding experience my wife and I were planning, and I've only rented tuxedos before. I met Brett at the shop and immediately felt like I was being taken care of through his insightful questions, great candor, honest guidance, and exemplary expertise. Honestly, I came in a bit green to the experience and Brett really took the time to educate me without any impatience, sharing his depth of knowledge to guide me toward the finest dress clothes I've ever owned in my time. I ended up with two custom tuxedo outfits at a competitive price, an outfit change before my dinner reception that had my friends questioning who I was and how I managed to look so sharp. I received countless compliments and kind words from many for how I showed up, and how polished I looked. We had a few small challenges that ran to the wire, as it can happen. It was how Brett resolved them and the certainty by which he delivered on my needs which was truly exemplary. He made sure everything fit and worked perfectly, personally dropped my clothes off at my house, and had one set shipped to me the day before the wedding. He came through, and made it easy for me to trust that he would. I'll be a customer of the Tailored Man for a long time, and alas I won't be able to revert back to a standard look easily now that I've been spoiled by this quality and experience. I'm happy to have a tailor now, and want to thank Brett always for helping me show up at my best, on my best day.

I've tried made-to-measure programs all over the country--from California to New York--and I can…read morehonestly say this is the best made-to-measure suit I've ever had made. What sets this experience apart is that you're not working with someone who is simply selling suits. You're working with someone who genuinely understands classic menswear, tailoring, and proportion, and who has an excellent tailor on the premises. That combination is incredibly rare. In my experience, many made-to-measure programs are primarily sales-driven. The person taking your measurements may be very personable, but often doesn't have a deep understanding of garment construction, fit, or how to modify a pattern to achieve a specific look. This experience was completely different. Every detail was discussed thoughtfully, and there was never any hesitation when I wanted to customize the pattern. Whether it was the lapel shape, shoulder expression, button stance, sleeve pitch, trouser cut, or other details, every request was taken seriously and executed exactly as I envisioned. I'm probably one of the pickiest clients anyone could have when it comes to tailoring. I have extremely high expectations for fit, and I've even had made-to-measure programs tell me they couldn't produce the result I was looking for because my standards were beyond what they felt comfortable promising. This time, the suit arrived exactly as I wanted it. Remarkably, I didn't need a single alteration. That has never happened to me before. Even if price weren't part of the equation, I would still consider this the best suit I've had made through any made-to-measure program. The level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, willingness to customize, and overall knowledge of menswear is exceptional. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about making the best possible garment--not just making a sale--I recommend him without hesitation. I'll absolutely be back for future commissions.

Suitability of McLean is hands down the *best* bespoke men's clothier in Northern Virginia. From…read morethe moment you experience truly custom-tailored apparel, there's no going back--the fit, the feel, the confidence... it's on another level. What really sets Suitability apart, though, is the service. Curtis isn't just a clothier--he's an educator. He takes the time to teach you about classic gentleman's style in a way that's approachable and actually fascinating. I had no idea how much things like color coordination with skin tone mattered, but he breaks it all down so you walk away more knowledgeable, not overwhelmed. Each consultation is thoughtfully scheduled (at least 30 minutes), so you never feel rushed. Whether you're designing a dress shirt or a full suit, Curtis walks you through an incredible range of options--fabrics, patterns, colors, details you didn't even know existed. It could easily feel daunting, but he guides you every step of the way with expert recommendations. I've personally purchased three suits with matching waistcoats and several dress shirts, and every single piece has been exceptional in both quality and fit. And then there's the hospitality. Every time I stop by, I'm offered a drink--coffee, water, even a cocktail (he's got an excellent whisky selection). On Saturdays, he hosts an open house with fruit and pastries, which makes the shop feel more like a welcoming community than a store. I've even dropped in unannounced just to say hi, and Curtis always greets me like an old friend. On top of all that, Suitability carries top-tier accessories--pocket squares, cufflinks, colognes, wallets. He's also the only local spot that carries Secrid wallets. I once had my eye on a specific style he didn't have in stock, and Curtis went the extra mile--literally--to track it down at a trade show and secure the *last one available*. If you're even thinking about upgrading your wardrobe, do yourself a favor and visit Suitability. It's not just shopping--it's an experience.

Hmm, where do I start. I'd give this establishment negative zero stars if it was possible. I came…read moreto the store because a good friend (who lived in Fairfax) past away and I acquired his last suit that he purchased at William T. Clothiers, and I wanted to get it altered for me in his memory. While I was there I decided to get 4 customs shirts made, as my last tailor retired recently. The shirt measurement process was strange from the get go, the owner/tailor Todd put 2 sample shirts in the dressing room. He stated 1 was for tighter fit, and 1 was for a looser fit. But didn't tell which one was which, so I put on the closest one to me. Todd then started asking me about how I wanted the length/width and such and started to measure me. Then we started to go over shirt patterns and fabrics, and I started to pick out patterns/fabrics/cuffs/collars pretty standard stuff. BTW, once this process started I never did try on the other sample shirts and he never mentioned for me to do so. After all the measuring was finished the pricing came, and OMG it was crazy expensive! The 4 shirts came to an average of $323.75 each, wow. All of my suits, jackets, dress pants, and dress shirts in the last 20 years have been custom tailored as I am an oddly shaped person. I know custom clothing is expensive, but the most I've ever paid for a shirt was about $200, but I bit the bullet and went ahead and ordered the shirts as I need a closet refresh. After a few days I got a message that 2 of the shirt designs were not available, so I had to basically let Todd pick the new colors/designs. About 4ish weeks later my shirts were ready for pickup, I was excited to see how the expensive shirts looked. When I tried on the 4 shirts, they were so tight that I was really taken aback. It was like his tape measure or eyesight was not working properly, they were so ill fitting. So all 4 shirts had to be completely reorder, and low and behold another color/design was not available again. That makes 3 of the 4 colors/designs picked out ended up unavailable. Well I picked up the 4 shirts yesterday, 5 months after my original order/measurement. Another bothersome thing with this tailor/Todd is that I ended up in that shop approximately 8 times, and Todd was only there 2 times. He as some nice whiskey displayed in the shop, never did he offer any to me. He knew how upset I was, and didn't even have the decency to be present when I finally pick up my shirts yesterday. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this tailor, there are so many tailors to choose from in the DC area to deal with this tailors crazy high prices, and awful customer service. The shirts are good quality, but this quality can be had for half the price.

I finally was able to visit and it was quite insane!! I had vivid memories of the teen/adult clothing stores that were open decades ago at Dulles Town Center. It's like fast fashion meets Rave, Charlotte Russe and H&M. Great idea bringing this to a busy mall with a lot of foot traffic. They carry so many items at decent/affordable prices. I can see why it was so hyped up. Shoes, jeans, tops---for men, women and kids. There were also miscellaneous items such as water bottles, suitcases, home deco, etc. There were 2 whole floors of items!! I didn't purchase anything, but I did eye stuff for my next visit. I love the self-checkout section. There was a barcode scanner upon exit. They are located on the opposite side of the 3-floor section of the mall. There is an entrance from outside the mall as well as inside. Would I return? for sure

No matter when, or where, I go, the item I want is out of stock in the size I need. I really am drawn to their novelty tees. Each time I am in here I always check them out in hopes to find one to add to my rotation. This stop they had a bunch that I liked, but after searching through everything there, not in my size, as I mentioned above. The selection of other items is great here, but not always what I'm looking for. If I wanted single color matching outfits, this is a great place to pick that up. However, that was not what I was in the mood for this time. Would definitely stop back in here if I am in the area again, but with more and more of these popping up there are locations closer to me.

It's the perfect central hub -- plenty of amazing restaurants, well-curated shopping, and two super convenient parking garages. I also love that the area transforms on weekends with farmers markets and special events, sometimes even closing off a main street to make it pedestrian-only, which gives it such a fun, community feel. Some of my favorite shops here are Target, West Elm, Barnes & Noble, and Lululemon. For food, you can't go wrong with Bar Taco, Alta Strada, True Food Kitchen, or grabbing a quick bowl at Playa Bowls. The mix of casual and elevated options makes it easy to find exactly what you're in the mood for. Mosaic has everything -- it's lively, modern, and thoughtfully designed. Truly one of the best places in Northern Virginia to spend a day or evening!
