A half dozen people have complimented the suit as well as the cut. After my previous tailor retired two years ago I was certain I wouldn't find anyone as talented within thirty minutes of home. I'm very glad to have found Tidwell & Company.

To know Armen is to love Armen. What a find. It's so difficult to find good tailors anymore since…read moreit is a dying craft. I would say that Armen is a funny character and also a savvy business man. I think his prices are on par with other tailors but don't hold me to that since I don't have a lot of experience. He was able to alter 2 suits and 2 gowns for me in expedited time! I didn't even know he did womens wear. My gown was sequin, and it came out great. We brought in a tuxedo bought somewhere else, and he didn't try and push a sale of one of his own. I don't want to suggest bringing in last minute work, but if you do need it - he's your guy. Unless it's prom or wedding season, then you're just sol! All in all, I highly recommend Armen if you don't mind trekking up to Manyunk. I didn't want to go into the city and be treated like second rate citizens. Very happy with his work!

Eric was very pleasant to deal with. I called on a Saturday afternoon and left a message. He called…read moreme back pretty quickly and we made an appointment for the next morning, Sunday, at 10 am. I had a wedding guest gown that needed to be taken up and it had to be done by that Friday. I drove to the shop and it was a small place with two rooms. It was in an old building, next to a realtor, with parking in a lot. The inside was old and also beat up, dirty, and dusty but I didn't let that bother me. A woman was working on the sewing machine. I don't know if that's Eric's wife. There's a room to change in the back so I put the dress on and Eric measured it. I left. Eric texted me that the dress was ready Friday morning. I picked it up and it was the perfect length. It looked great! It was taken up at the waist so the pretty bottom of the dress that had an asymmetrical ruffle was not touched. I was very happy with it. Later that day, I accidentally dialed the store number so hung up quickly. Eric saw that I called and called me back to make sure that everything was ok. How nice is that? I highly recommend this shop for anything that you need tailored. They do a wonderful job and it's worth every penny!

If you want a suit that will look great for a lifetime, come to John. He is the only custom tailor…read moreremaining in Philadelphia -- and he still makes everything by hand. You can really tell his dedication to tailoring from both the quality of his work and his diligent customer service. He makes sure every little detail is perfect. I have seen clients of his come in with suits he made 30 years ago that look brand new. I have several pieces from John, and I've honestly stopped wearing pretty much anything else. If you are looking to invest in a new, quality suit and are tired of things that don't fit right or wear out quickly, John is the only person you should come to in Philadelphia. He's that good.

So I just started looking to purchase a suit, and because I have an odd combination of size and…read moreweight, I needed to speak to a few tailors to find out what was my best path. Besides John, and another tailor up the road, most tailors seem to have no clue what they're talking about. With John, its different. This guy is your definition of a South Philly, Old School, Italian tailor. He makes all his suits by hand, and the attention to detail is just insane. While I do not have the means to pay for him to make me a suit from scratch (which when I do, hopefully he'll be the guy) after chatting a few minutes he was more than willing to explain to me the in's and out's of a suit, what could work for me off the rack, and what he would do to help make it look as close to hand made as possible. He didn't have to say anything except "you can't afford me". The guy loves what he does, is obviously one of the best, but he's also super nice. Better than the suits that he makes is his shop, the atmosphere. There's so much history from this city in there, and in his stories. This man has made suits for everyone from Eagles HOF'r Pete Retzlaf to Ed Snyder and Gene Hart and countless others in between. If you can afford to have him make you a suit, or even a few shirts, I say go for it. You'll be hard pressed to find a nicer, more talented tailor in the city.
