    The fakest custom tailor of all time…read more These guys take your measurements then send them to china. What you get back is a suit cut like a burlap sack and WAY off on every measurement. They then start to hack away at that to try and make it fit you. The single worst suit purchase I've ever made and it was unfortunately for my wedding day. Suit is awful quality material and threads constantly coming out of it. The local laundromat commented that no matter what they do it just bleeds threads and seems to be very cheap fabric. Basically you will spend thousands for the equivalent of a poor fitting indochino suit.

    My husband and I went to 9Tailors for our wedding suits after receiving a glowing recommendation…read morefrom a friend who worked with them for their wedding. We went in knowing little about what we wanted other than a general idea of the colors. Alex was more than happy to be our guide through the whole process. He pulled out loads of swatches and laid them out, explaining the nuances of each fabric type and texture so we could make the most informed decisions possible. But, it was also important to him that we were making suits that were custom to our individual tastes and personalities. He helped us figure out which colors would work together while still fitting our budget. Alex and his coworkers were genuinely excited each time we came in for a fitting. You can tell they take pride in their work and that they strive to make something that is special and perfect for you. I could not believe the level of thought and care that went into crafting the perfect fit. We received so many compliments on our suits and I can't wait for the next opportunity to wear mine again!

    Had a new zipper put on my lightweight fleece jacket. She did a beautiful job! Excellent attention…read moreto detail! I would feel confident bringing any type of repair or alteration here!

    I brought in a window valence that needed to be cut and hemmed. It was a simple job that would…read moretake an hour or less. Theresa said it would be ready in five days or less and that she would call me when it was done. I didn't get a call and three weeks later stopped in to pick up the valance thinking somehow I missed her call. The valance wasn't ready, but I could see it on her table that she was working on it. Theresa said it would be ready soon and that she would call me. She never did. I called her again after another three weeks, and it still was not ready. She told me to come in in another two days. After a total of 45 days I was finally able to pick up my valence. By then I learned that she had overcharged me for this simple job. I had paid her $50. When I picked up the valence, I asked for a partial refund, either by credit or cash, for both waiting so long and told her that I knew she had overcharged me. She would not do it but said she would give me a discount the next time I come in. Of course, there won't be a next time because I am not going back. Two years ago I brought in a dress for a fitting that I was wearing to a formal occasion. When I picked it up, the zipper did not lay flat and was bunched up. She said nothing could be done about that. This woman's lack of customer caring, satisfaction and service is extremely frustrating and disappointing. I would not recommend her, but if you do go, make sure you know what you're getting into.

    After owning a Made-to-Measure suit or any garments at that; it is impossible to buy something…read moreready-made. Prior to working with Richard Marrow (R.M) my knowledge of what a well-fitting suit was zero to none. However, considering that my closet is now composed of nearly twenty or more Made-to-Measure suits I would like to say I learned from the best. Alongside receiving amazing clothing, you are furnished with a fast amount of knowledge. I will admit I am neither an easy fit or a customer that is easily satisfied. R.M went above and beyond to reassure me that I will have a suit that fits like a glove. He certainly delivered on that promise - Now, imagine a 29 waist, 38 chest and shoulders for a 42! It IS NOT easy finding something that you feel comfortable, elegant and well-dressed in. overall, I can go on for days about R.M, and his work... but I won't. However, I will certainly guarantee quality, professionalism, and perfection! Thank you R.M!!
