I have had the pleasure of working with Custom Executive Outfitters (CEO) for custom jackets and…read moreshirts, and the experience was exceptional. They offer an extensive range of high-quality fabrics and provided insightful recommendations tailored to my preferences. They took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and then guided me through the selection process with expertise. The measurement process was meticulous and they paid attention to every detail. Although the initial fit wasn't perfect, they promptly made the necessary adjustments, and the final garments fit very well. The quality of the clothing is also good, and the service is impeccable. I found the pricing to be fair for the level of craftsmanship and service provided. I plan to purchase more items in the future and highly recommend Custom Executive Outfitters to anyone seeking high-quality custom clothing. Also, while they appear to be based out of DC, they met me in South Maryland which was appreciated.

Suresh and his son, Chiraag were very thorough and attentive throughout the entire process. Suresh and Chiraag were very thorough and helpful in guiding me as I selected the suit and shirt colors, fabrics, as well as the different customization options. I opted for a burgundy color, which I consider to be an adventurous color, but it was not a problem for Custom Executive Outfitters, as they had exactly the color I was looking for! I have a short, muscular build, which makes buying suits off the rack nearly impossible. However, Suresh and Chiraag were able to get my measurements perfectly. The suit fit me like a glove. This was my first experience getting a fully custom suit (I figured it was worth it to splurge on my wedding!) I have to say that there is a clear difference between fully custom suits and even suits made in Made to Measure companies. The entire process was smooth. The turnaround time was quick. Custom Executive Outfitters was able to complete my suit within weeks of the order, with more than enough time for my wedding in case I needed any alterations. Fortunately, the measurements were perfect, so I ended up not needing any further alterations. It was a pleasure working with Suresh and Chiraag, as they are both very warm and pleasant people. I could not be happier with how I looked and felt in my suit, and I cannot recommend Custom Executive Outfitters enough!

I very rarely leave reviews for anything online, but use them almost everyday, is that bad? Lol…read more Anyway, I had to leave a review for quite possibly the best customer service experience I've ever had. Backstory: I proposed to my then-fiance, now-wife back in April of 2013 and through the course of wedding preparations, decided that I wanted to have a tuxedo made fully bespoke. (I also needed to purchase a few business suits) Years of football and weightlifting had left me with a body that is incompatible with 95% of off-the-rack business and formal clothing. So, I began sampling custom clothiers all around the DC area, and my findings generally lacked the 'Experience' I was looking for. Most tailor shops were impersonal, unreasonably priced, or both. Enter Bryn: He's extremely personable, knowledgeable, accommodating, and took his time to get to know me. The best way to sum it up is that I felt like I was talking to a friend who was doing me a favor as opposed to a business owner selling me a product. During my first appointment in November 2013 at his shop, we discussed his offerings (virtually limitless), my personal style, and then all the necessary measurements were taken. Then I threw him a curveball: I was in the process of cutting bodyfat and informed him that I'd be significantly smaller by the wedding date (March 8, 2014). No sweat, he proposed several fittings over the course of the next few months and would tailor the suit to match the body composition changes. Over the course of those months I had an initial fitting, as well as two subsequent fittings, over which time I lost size in the waist/legs and gained in the back/arms. The tux and suits fit perfectly in each stage, which I thought was amazing. Fast forward to 3 weeks before my wedding, I realized I needed a new tuxedo shirt. I called Bryn, reluctantly because it was so last minute, and asked if he could possibly get one made for me in such a short time frame. Again, no problem, I received the shirt one week before my wedding, and of course it fit perfectly. This consistent level of service and quality of clothing is why I'll be calling on Bryn to provide all of my future custom clothing needs. He's top notch.

I've been shopping at Bryn Keith custom clothing for several years now and I have almost upgraded…read moremy entire business attire to custom. I started out replacing my shirts and have slowly started replacing pants, blazers and recently order a few vests. I was quite impressed with the number and variety of fabrics as well as the customizable options from pocket location/type to shirt cuffs to hidden shirt buttons (my favorite). It definitely takes time to figure out what you really want, but that's the beauty of custom. The owner, Bryn Johnson, is very knowledgeable and can help guide you during the process of deciding how you want to item(s) to look. I haven't moved on to suits yet, since I'm not required by my job, but a nice 3 piece suit is next on my ever growing list.

After questioning that it was even worth it for a $30 pair of pants, I decided it was worth the convenience since I was already there. I went to pick up my pants a few days later, and asked if she could hem another pair of pants. She told me it would cost another $15. Since I have never paid more than $10, I asked if she could do it for $10. She rudely responded and attempted to charge my credit card while I waited for 30 minutes. While I was waiting, she grabbed her phone and began listening to music. Finally, after the long wait and a lengthy phone call with the credit card machine customer service agent (on speaker so I could listen to their conversation in Chinese), she figured it out. Not going back here. Horrible customer service.

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!

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!

The COVID-19 situation has proven to be a challenging time for everyone, but especially for small…read morebusinesses. I was introduced to Park's Dress Design and Alterations by a relative of mine, who has had some garments (blouses, dresses, pant suits, etc.) altered over the years. Mrs. Park (she also goes by Sunny) hemmed up a few of my dress slacks and corrected the sleeve lengths on one of my suits and I was pleased with the work. While the prices might be on the higher side as opposed to having these type of alterations done at a dry cleaner, Mrs. Park has had her tailoring business open in Fairfax County for over 25 years, so she must be doing something right. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has encountered challenges purchasing masks/face coverings during this COVID-19 pandemic. What makes things worse is all the conflicting information the public has been receiving on this topic. In late-February and early-March we were told face coverings "aren't effective" and "do more harm than good" so don't wear one. I was always a bit skeptical of this guidance since during my travels to Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, etc, face masks are very common. So once the "official" guidance was for folks to wear some sort of face covering, all of the masks at drug stores and on-line were sold out or available at exorbitant prices. On a whim, I called Mrs. Park to see if she had started to make any cloth masks, and luckily she had. Her business has experience a dramatic decline due to everyone staying home, but like many businesses, she's had to pivot to adjust to a changing market place. Kudos to her for being resourceful. She has a two main styles of masks to choose from in a variety of colors and patterns. What I like about these masks is there is a small metal piece that contours around the nose and two side slits for additional filtration. I find two small square pieces of trimmed paper towels work pretty well. These are also machine washable and I was told cold water works best. When i picked up my four masks for myself and family, there was a lady who was picking up seven for herself (one for each day). The masks are $15 each and while there are lots of patterns you can download off the Internet and plenty of "how to" tutorials on Youtube, it's worth it for me to just have a professional do it for me. Hours have been reduced during the pandemic, so I recommend calling first to see if she's open and if there are any masks to available for purchase.
