He was also super flexible with our rather large party (9 men total). The guys enjoyed their experience getting fitted with Eli and were able to really make each suit their own with personalized inner linings, if they so chose. In the end, everyone looked great on the big day. Could not be happier with how everything turned out! Highly recommend Eli and Alabaster & Chess.

I've been going to Eli with Alabaster and Chess suits for custom made to measure tailored suits for…read moremany years now. I've referred countless friends and they have referred their friends and so on and so forth and it helped him build up his business. At first I was glad that I found a good suit maker as friends who've purchased suits from him many years ago were quite satisfied with the product. While his pricing and quality use to be fair, it has gone down tremendously recently. I've decided to entrust my brother's wedding suits to Eli and his Tailors and ultimately they came out bad. Suit Jackets were too long, Shirts were too short, Pants were done incorrectly. Part of it were attributed to his poor choice of Tailor (Flormont Tailor http://www.yelp.com/biz/flormont-tailors-new-york-2) . The Tailor (George) there could care less about alterations and we had to be the one suggesting to the tailor what alterations needed to be made, and ultimately he messed up the suits. And due to delays of making the suit itself (3 months!) We had no choice but to take the suit to our own personal tailors to try and salvage the damage as the wedding day was coming soon. On the day of the wedding, even his former customers who saw the suits all remarked how terrible it looked and all assured us that Eli will take care of this. At first we understood Eli was simply the salesmen and the actual tailoring was done by others. So we decided to bring this issue to his attention. Well After countless back and forth with Eli (it's like pulling teeth) we were finally able to get him to agree to simply remake the suits as we both agreed the original suits were "tailored" to the point of beyond repair. This back and forth should not have been so difficult but we as group were satisfied with Eli's response as he stated he would stand behind his name and product and make sure the customer received what he purchased, especially one who has referred countless business to him. However as soon as we try to schedule appointments to get refitted and to check up on our suit remake status, we no longer received any responses from him or his assistants. It's been about 4 months now of constantly emailing and trying to get in touch with them and the response from his assistants are either he's traveling or he'll get back to us soon. This has forced me to write one of my first negative reviews of a place, especially since a Google search shows absolutely no reviews for this place so I felt compelled to past the word along. Buyer beware. I'm already telling all my former friends who I have referred to them to not trust him with any suits being made, and especially a suit for a wedding day, one of the most important days of your life. It's sad that a company you help refer people to now becomes a company where they no longer care about service and quality anymore. Here's a list of all the issues ALL SHIRTS/SUITS: - Monograms were uncentered. - Sleeves on the suit jacket were crooked, which caused it to bulge out around the shoulders Shirt 1: - Sleeves too long after 1st fitting, too short after 2nd fitting. No white cuffs showed. This was UNSALVAGABLE. Shirt 2: - The jacket was cut way too small, and even with extensive tailoring, there was no way to let it out enough, without compromising the structure of the suit. - The length of the arms were uneven, about 1/2 inch difference. Shirt 3: - The monogram was on the wrong arm (right arm, while everyone else was on the left) - Sleeves too long after 1st fitting, too short after 2nd fitting. No white part showed. This was UNSALVAGABLE. Suit 1: - Pants were cut too short, about 1-1.5 inches too short. suit 2: - The jacket was cut too small. When he bought it to the tailor to have it let out, there was tape marks left by the previous tailoring that left a sticky residue on the suit. Suits 3/4 (both of them): - Pants were too short. Missing Vent on the back update 4/13 (9 months later): So the final update is we finally got a hold of Eli face to face and he decided not to remake the suits as promised. He offered to try to take them back to fix although how do you fix something that's cut too short? At this point we were too tired of hounding him and we handed the two suits we felt were somewhat salvageable back to try to fix but even the final returned product the jacket still didn't fit right. He did remake one of the dress shirts. We have since decided to move on and close the book on this ordeal. I've attached photos that hope to highlight some of the issues. We did our best to hide them for the wedding photos. It was embarrassing to have the photographers try to reposition you or to hold a certain stance to hide the imperfections of the suit. We would loosen your belt to pull our pants down more to make it longer, or stretch the shirts out to show the white cuffs.Or put our hands in our pockets to hide the suit jacket lengths. Anyone got any recommendation for a new custom suit ta

But we ended up going right across the street to the new location which boasts a wide variety of outfits across 2 floors. The experience, I'll admit, is hectic. You're constantly bobbing and weaving through other customers, there's one fitting room all the way in the back, and you'll have to approach the staff for help if its bustling on a Saturday. But the staff really is super helpful and imo, kind. I had specific requirements for my outfit for a wedding (due to a dress code) and honestly, Angees' managed to find my chosen outfit in like 2 mins. I did have to get it altered (because I am painfully short), but they managed to give me a good price for my troubles on top of the very reasonable prices they offer on all outfits. They also have a seamstress that works close by and she too, prices are reasonable for alterations. Overall, if you're indo-carribean and need an Indian outfit on the spot, check out Anjees'!

Rep made me purchase two outfits way too big with the impression that it could be altered but no one can alter it due to the material and beading. Anjees does not care as long as they get their money. we purchase a hat for my fiancé, walked out the store and saw it in sunlight and it was discolored and falling apart we went back in the store five minutes after purchase and they refused to give a refund. They are just about making the sale not about the customer. Do Not even look at their overpriced jewelry because you will not be able to return either. The outfits I did purchase are also poor quality even though i spent $700-$800 each.

HORRIBLE OWNER. So 3 weeks ago i went to this store and picked out a beautiful dress to wear. I…read moretried it on and the owner called the tailor. The tailor immediately started pinning the dress to alter it. I paid for the dress and was told to pick it up in 5 days. I went to pick it up but the length was still long so i waited another 2-3 days to alter it. This is where things get worse: When I came to pick it up, the owner said ok, its $150. 1. Why are you charging me to alter a dress I bought from your own store? Am I naive or does that really happen? 2. Why am I paying $150 to alter a $200 dress? 3. Did they not think to tell me the first or second time I came for my dress? 3. Am I not entitled as a customer to know I will be charged $150(or any amount) for alteration? I was naturally extremely frustrated, so I'll be honest. I told him that he is scamming me and questioned his sense of making customers and running a business. In return, he told me that a young girl like me shouldn't speak like that. The tailor even came and told me that she's sorry, she did not tell me that there will be a charge and lowered it to $80. I understand that it is a affluent neighborhood-but common courtesy should exist in every business. PLEASE DO NOT GO THERE UNLESS YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY 75% ADDITIONAL FOR ALTERATIONS.

My family has multiple events to attend on a monthly basis and I personally dread going dress shopping. The owner has such great taste! He showed me a dress that I would never have picked or let alone tried on and it looked amazing on me. As for my mom she fell in love with a strapless dress but she needed a more modest look. The tailor worked with us until we were happy. Sleeves were added to the dress and it looked phenomenal as though it came straight from the company As for the previous comment, please do share where you have gone in which the alterations on an item let alone a sale item were at no cost. The fees for the alteration were very reasonable and definitely much less that what I am use to paying from all the stores and tailors that I have been to. If you are buying a dress that has been reduced 50% and its not your size, you have to pay to make the dress look like how you want it regardless of where you go. Needless to say I had such a great experience that both my mom and I will definitely be going back!!!

Barely any Seamless, Yelp, often hard to get Uber/Lyft, no convenient local transportation. But that's what comes with living in Throggs Neck. Or the Bronx in general, the forgotten borough. But I digress. This place is, hands down, the best tailor in the area. Their cleaning is always good and very quick. It's like some well kept secret. Their stitching is solid. Customer service is solid. The only "problem" they have is that they dont speak English that well, but that's not a real problem. Only according to some of the xenophobic locals, which are sadly fairly common in Throggs Neck. But again, I digress. TLDR: Best place to go locally. High end stuff should still go to a Manhattan tailor. Oh, and the place across the street destroyed several hundred dollars of my clothing, so I wouldn't but it's a free country.
