Needless to say she lost me as a customer that day.

If you want your suit in a reasonable amount of time and want it to look perfect on you; he's the man. The amount of customers he has is reflective of this fine craftsmanship. An example of this is that I recently lost a significant amount of weight (over 50 lbs) and also changed my body type (added muscle through Crossfit). My suits were a train-wreck. I brought 4 of my old, I'll-fitting suits to John. 4 weeks later, I picked them up and was AMAZED at how great they looked. I needed major work in the pants, and my coats all needed the chest area brought in; basically an athletic cut that the suits were NOT originally made with. My suits look custom-made for me.

old world tailoring in a modern age, that's for sure…read more i bought a suit online and needed pants and a jacket adjusted. prior to my visit, i knew nothing about where to go for men's tailoring. a google search provided a few names in the area, but as far as where to go from there, i was basically at a loss. (the search kind of brought me back to the early days of yelp, when you'd search for certain restaurants around syracuse and were unable find any info... about anything... things have certainly changed since 2008). anyway, i decided on john berardi. i knew very little about his shop, aside from finding a random video on youtube, so my decision was somewhat on a whim. all and all, i figured getting an italian suit looked at by an older italian man who's been in business on the city's northside for several decades was a fairly safe bet. it's a bit like stepping back in time when you enter the small shop; old sewing machines, cast-iron clothing racks, etc... so i wasn't sure what to expect at first, but john was great. super friendly, heavy italian accent and personality, and he knew what he was talking about (he recommended getting the cuffs removed on my non-pleated pants as well). i told him i needed my suit done in about 2 weeks. adjustments were done within 1 week. price was about average ($45 for jacket and pant alterations). stitching looks aok too. as the world becomes more and more introverted and we inundate ourselves with cell phones and technology, it's extremely refreshing to see a friendly, low-key, long-running, and small business that's essentially non-existant online still going strong. most of the racks lining the walls were filled with suits, and a seamstress (i'm assuming his wife) was busy stitching and sewing the whole time i was in there, so they're fairly busy; which is a good thing. these types of places (as well as italian barbers, italian bakeries, german meat markets, german breweries, etc...) were once a mainstay during the golden age of syracuse and only vanish as the years go on. enjoy them while they're still here. (not sure of their hours, so it's best to call. i think he closes around 5 or 6pm on weekdays. they lock the front door for safety during the day, so just knock if he doesn't see you. and if i recall correctly, it's cash only).
