My husband and I went to 9Tailors for our wedding suits after receiving a glowing recommendation from 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! read more

9Tailors - Men's Clothing Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

To say I'm embarrassed to wear the suit 9Tailors made for me for my wedding would be an understatement. There is clearly something missing in the process and ability of this company, and for the price, it is completely unacceptable. I have had plenty of custom suits and sport coats made before, ranging from fully bespoke, made-from-scratch garments to off-the-rack pieces with minor alterations. My usual company was very busy, so I decided to give 9Tailors a try based on what I had heard about them. I also wanted my wedding suit done well ahead of time, so I went in for my initial consultation five months before my wedding. The initial meeting was fine. We discussed the options, picked my fabrics, and off we went. With any fully custom suit, I completely understand needing one or two rounds of adjustments once the actual garment comes in. What I did not expect was to go through FIVE fittings over more than four months, only for the team STILL to not get the suit right. With my wedding approaching only 2 weeks away, I simply lost faith in the process. I took what I was given rather than continuing the cycle of pointing out an issue, waiting another 2-4 weeks for the next appointment, then finding that while one issue had been fixed, the alteration had created two new ones. When a suit costs $2,135 and is being made specifically for your wedding, having to leave a custom suiting company with a suit that does not fit properly is incredibly disappointing. I am now days away from getting married with a suit that I do not feel good in, do not feel proud of & am honestly embarrassed to wear on my wedding day. The employees and owner I worked with were all perfectly pleasant. My issue is not with their personalities or how I was treated. Rather that they simply could not fix a fitting problem without creating multiple new ones. At some point, being pleasant is not enough. The garment needs to be right. I expressed all of this directly to Jeff, the owner, when I left the store with the final version of the suit, and would still welcome any restitution for the experience. For example, I pointed out that the lapel was not sitting against my collar/neck properly. I also pointed out that the fabric was misaligned along the stitching on the back, causing it to ripple outward in a way that genuinely made it look like I had a hunchback. I was told it "just needs to be ironed." If it were simply an ironing issue, I would expect a company making a $2,135 custom suit to have ironed it before sending me home with it -- especially when that issue had been there from the very first adjustment meeting and I pointed it out separately at all five of them. I also had a friend come with me to multiple fittings & they independently noticed the same glaring issues. After all of that, I am left with a suit whose lapel sits roughly a half inch away from the back of my neck and shoulders, whose sleeves and elbows visibly bunch, and whose fabric creases so dramatically around my hips that it resembles a diaper. And this is not limited to the suit. The accompanying button-down shirt, which cost $180, is made from material that honestly feels inferior to what you could pick up off the rack at for half the price. The shirt also required 3-4 adjustment meetings just to get it to a point that was close enough to passable. I went into 9Tailors expecting a high-end custom suiting experience and gave them five months to get it right. I understand that custom clothing involves adjustments. I do not expect perfection. What I do expect, especially at this price point and with this much lead time, is for a company that specializes in custom suiting to ultimately produce a properly fitting garment. 9Tailors did not do that for me. Unfortunately, I will be wearing a suit I am not proud of on one of the most important days of my life. Instead of wearing it for 10+ years and having it memorialize a major life milestone, it will go into the back of my closet because I do not want to be reminded of the disappointment of this experience every time I put it on. read more

The fakest custom tailor of all time. 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. read more

9Tailors is pretty awesome. I am really happy with the service. Let me explain: This place is a bit pricey but the service is amazing and it's nice to have someone to act as a style guide even when you know what you what you want. I have been wanting to come in for a few years now and finally got an appointment with Alex Oates. This time around, I wanted to get a party suit for celebrations such as wedding and was looking into getting a burgundy suit. What was amazing is that there are so much details to choose such as buttons, lining, the inside of the jacket, fabric, and etc. The little details was all things that matter but I haven't thought about. You do come in here for a tailor suit and I really appreciate having somebody like Alex to be a style guide on top of that. This place is comparable to the Suit Supplies but you get somebody to work with you the whole time (that includes answering your emails and any questions about how to dress for success or dress for the life of a party). I plan to come back again every time I might need a suit. read more

10000/10 I can't recommend this place enough. We went through several alterations until my wedding suit was perfect. I can't show it yet since my future wife hasn't seen it but I can promise its stellar. Attaching a photo of my second suit with them to show the SPECTACULAR work they do. So many options and just excellent staff. Especially Jim who was an angel through the whole process. read more

I am a 67 year old, stocky sort of non-glamour guy. On my bucket list was a custom built suit before I died. 9Tailors did not disappoint. This is truly a custom shop that takes their time in measuring and listening to your needs. I'm 5'9", 190#'s, with a 36" waist and a 48" chest(ex competitive powerlifter) Off the rack suits, even with tailoring, never quite made it. Be prepared to spend some time, over 5000 fabric selections and a myriad of custom options. i learnt things about tailoring that even GQ didn't know. And for a third of the price of a Cannelli! Custom fitting off a shell that is then sent to Hong Kong for tailoring. Final fitting after the garment returns. I you do not know Boston that well I suggest you park near North Stattion, or for free at the Encore, and take an Uber into 153 Franklin. read more

Summary: A great choice if you're vigilant. _____________ Purchases: 1. A custom tux and shirt for my husband for our wedding 2. A custom oxford shirt for my husband on our first anniversary _____________ The Business: A really fun place to get bespoke clothing done. They have a bar with a variety of whiskies where you and your groomsmen can enjoy an afternoon of ~the finer things~. The folks who work here are lovely, warm, and welcoming. _____________ The Experience: This is where I'm a little less happy with the 9tailors experience. Both times we have had an issue with the delivery. 1. For our wedding, 9tailors neglected to include the custom tuxedo shirt when my husband picked up his tux. Thank God he checked it right away and got in touch with them. They offered to deliver it the day before the wedding, but never showed up with it. They finally got in touch and said they would deliver it the morning of our wedding. Thankfully, they did, but it was just a stressful thing to have happen so close to the wedding. 2. For the custom shirt on our anniversary, we arranged for the shirt to be mailed to us when it was finished because we live in New York. (I recall vividly standing with Eboni and reciting our address, and swiping my credit card twice because we hadn't included the delivery charge in the initial transaction.) They say a custom shirt is supposed to take six weeks, so after not hearing anything for six and a half, I reached out to confirm that everything was okay. 9tailors kindly followed up saying that there was a delay due to the busy holiday season, and that it should be in the next week's shipment. After I didn't receive the shipment for another two weeks, I reached out again. I was told that the shirt was there, and that it had been there for a while. This raised two questions for me. First, what happened to the delivery we had arranged? And second, imagining I lived in Boston and was planning on picking up the shirt: if the shirt had arrived and been sitting there for some time, why hadn't the customer been notified that the order was complete? On the phone, the person I was speaking with told me that there was no record of a delivery request, and seemed to imply that the mistake was mine, which was a little frustrating. Once again, 9tailors was able to rectify the issue by overnighting the delivery so that my husband could wear the shirt for the holidays as planned. We appreciated their efforts to a speedy resolution. _____________ The Result: My husband looked AMAZING in the custom tux and shirts. Okay, obviously I'm a little biased, but I do think the custom tailoring made a huge difference. It came out beautifully. Unfortunately, after just a year (he's worn the tux twice, once to our wedding and once to the opera) the edges began to fray, which isn't ideal, but I really can't fault the craftsmanship beyond that. _____________ TL;DR They make tailoring fun, and the result looks great, but you will need to be sure that you are diligent about following up on the delivery of your items if it's for something important, and the longevity of the garments leaves a little bit to be desired. All told though, they've still earned their 4 stars, which should tell you something about the experience with the fitting and how you'll look in their garments. read more

I've tried several custom suit places in Boston, New York, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Macau. Now that I live in Boston, I can honestly say that 9tailors has the best custom suit for its price in all the places I've tried in the US. I first got a custom dress shirt made by them to test out their measurements and fit. It came back perfect. The second time I went to them was to get a custom sports jacket made. It required one additional alteration and then it was perfect. Sam is the owner and fitted for me. I told her what I was looking for in terms of fit and style and she made recommendations on the fabric and cut. The most recent item I got made was a full 3-piece suit for a wedding. Sam recommended a very high end black wool for the suit and when it came in, I was blown away by how good it looked. I ended up getting my partner a suit for the same wedding. I would highly recommend 9tailors! read more

9Tailors - Men's Clothing Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I have nothing but good things to say about 9tailors. I spent a long time searching for places to get a suit made for my wedding that would not only produce a good quality product, but would also make me feel comfortable throughout the process. 9tailors completely delivered on all fronts. Eboni was so patient with me and brought out book after book helping me find the perfect pattern for my shirt and material for my suit. I came back in twice to try on my suit- the first time, there was a little too much material around the crotch of the pants, which was easily fixed. The second time, everything fit perfectly and I was able to bring my suit home. In addition to having a great product at a lower price than most other places, the atmosphere is great. I was offered water, beer, and whiskey every time I came in by very friendly staff, and never had to wait past my scheduled appointment. As a woman shopping for a men's style suit, I was very nervous about the way I would be treated. I did not need to worry- no one made me feel uncomfortable at all or made any assumptions about my gender or sexuality. I was treated just like any man who walked through the door, which is a rarity when I shop for men's clothes. I highly recommend that anyone without the typical male body who is looking for custom clothing come to 9tailors. read more

Had an AMAZING experience getting my wedding tuxedo made at 9Tailors. I am a LGBT identifying woman who tends to wear more masculine attire and wanted to get a custom tux for my important day. I had gone to several other suit vendors in Boston and found that they had minimal experience with people like me, but at the recommendation of a friend, I decided to give 9Tailors a try. Everyone was incredibly friendly / kind and walked me through every detail. Sam, Babs, and Steph were particularly amazing to work with. The studio is a comfortable environment, and they had an entire sample book featuring women and gender non-conforming folks so I could see how the product would actually fit. The tux was ready in only a few weeks and only required 1 round of alterations to achieve the perfect fit. I loved my experience so much that I ended up returning to get several suits made for work. Would HIGHLY recommend 9Tailors for all your suiting needs! read more

Sam is incredibly kind, helpful and knowledgeable. I would trust her completely with custom clothing. We are even using her for custom suits for my brother's wedding! Go to her for reasonably priced high quality custom clothing. She won't let you down. We have never purchased custom clothing before and Sam was incredibly patient with answering our questions and never made us feel foolish, no matter what we asked. She was also very responsive to emails and even did a virtual fitting session with us when we were out of state and could not get into her shop in person. read more

There is a direct correlation between the strength of my feelings on a subject and the length of my review. So, get your coffee and sit down, because this is a long one. When it comes to *nice* clothing, my life has been a tale of woe. Most of my life, I was fat (and big boned, double whammy), so you can imagine my disappointment when I discovered, upon arriving at a healthy weight, I am "stout Russian" healthy and not "Gwyneth Paltrow" healthy. Previously, I wore crap because there was nothing business professional for heavy women off the rack that wasn't laughable. Then I got fit, and things still didn't fit. Then, I met this guy who came from a part of the world where tailors still make clothing to fit the client's body, instead of making everything to fit Gwyneth Paltrow. I always figured that people bought custom clothing because they were rich and famous, but what about those of us who just don't exist in the minds of fashion designers? Maybe we weren't so screwed after all. It was then that I happened on 9Tailors. My main points of contact have been Michelle and Eboni, and they are awesome. My first purchase was a plain old cotton dress shirt. I know: Really? You went to a tailor for a pinstripe shirt? Look here: How many of those cotton dress shirts have you owned in your life? Five? Fifty? I owned zero. ZERO. I was 32 years old, and I had never in my entire life owned a cotton dress shirt that could be said to fit in any way--and not for lack of trying. When it came in, the shirt was a bit wonky--too short at the hip and a bit tight in the shoulders. We don't know how it ended up too short, but the shoulders were kind of my fault because I began a more rigorous exercise regimen than I was doing when I got measured. Michelle said to keep the shirt for emergency use in the interim while they made me a new shirt, free of charge. The new one fit like a charm. Check out the enclosed pictures--that's me wearing my first cotton dress shirt. It not only fits comfortably, it looks really good. I then saved up and bought a dress coat, another shirt, and a light wool suit. Keep in mind that these were not merely a luxury buy for me--before going to 9Tailors, all of these were articles of clothing that were both extremely useful and utterly out of reach because of my frame. So, know that I wasn't just picking up some shiny new luxury item: I was buying the ability to dress well for an event in winter, without resorting to putting a nice dress under a puffy ski coat; I was buying a reliably appropriate form of dress I could use for presentations and interviews, instead of trying to make do with clothing that did not quite suit. In short, I was buying the opportunity to be taken seriously in certain important social situations, because 9Tailors is one of those rare places where the fit and style of my clothing *was* taken seriously. Leslie Kinzel said of the frustration of trying to find clothing to fit the large female body, "Fashion is communication. If you cannot fit fashion, then you are left out of the conversation [....] If the jeans don't fit, it must be your fault. You should change to fit them, because the jeans are in charge here. If you refused--silly, stubborn person that you are--then you are relegating yourself to fashion struggles in perpetuity." Screw that. If you have the means, go custom. There is an evolutionary reason for big butts. There is no evolutionary reason for ill-fitting pants. Don't make my mistake and wait three decades thinking that the clothing you want doesn't exist. Pick your battles; save your quarters; and take your business to 9Tailors. read more

I recently purchased 4 shirts from 9Tailors and couldn't be more satisfied with the level of quality. Sam (owner), Jeff, and Tony went above and beyond to make sure that everything was up to standard. I have been going to London and Hong Kong since I was a kid and can say with confidence that 9Tailors is on par with Sam's, W.W. Chan, and Huntsman & Sons. If you are in the Boston area and don't want to deal with the hassle of going to a trunk show or taking a 8+ hour flight check out 9Tailors. read more

Sam and her team at 9tailors were extremely helpful for my groomsmen and me. Many of them were remote and nervous to buy a suit long distance, but everyone looked great the day of. We did a lot of research for wedding suits, and nothing else in the Boston area compares in terms of customization, value, and service. We used a Gilt City voucher, which made it an even more incredible value. I highly recommend 9tailors for wedding parties. For slightly more than a rental tuxedo, everyone has a suit to keep. Not to mention, you can't beat the look. My wife was even able to match the piping and monogrammed names to the wedding colors. read more

9tailors is amazing! If you're looking to get a custom suit done just call them up and ask for Sam. First, the location is incredibly convenient in downtown Boston and the space is pretty cool. They always offer you up a drink when you come in. More importantly, Sam and her team have a fantastic selection of different fabrics and styles. The price points are also very competitive. A custom piece may set you back anywhere from $550-$1,300 depending on what you choose. Lastly, the customer service is top-notch. You can schedule appointments online, do fittings via Skype, and Sam will make sure that the final fit of the suit is what you're looking for. On that last part, I actually lost a decent amount of weight after Sam took my measurements. She was going to have the pants taken in after the first fitting, but after thinking about how it would look/my needs she convinced me that the pants needed to be remade.....at no cost to me?! Seriously who does that? I'll tell you 9tailors. Just go here...you won't be disappointed. read more

Please stay away from this place. They are not make bespoke clothing, just altering standard size shirt. What's more important, their tailor is not good. I fitted twice with them. (They "remade" the shirt, which I naively believed would fit me) The shirt not only looked terrible on me because the whole cut was wrong, but I couldn't even wear them comfortably. I have to admit it's a lesson I learned. You cannot always trust average yelp rating. I'd rather alter the shirt by some decent tailors paying out of the pocket than let them do the job for me. That being said, the owner, Samantha is very considerate of customer feelings. Although the shirts didn't fit well, she even bothered to come to my apartment to talk about it issue and later issued full refund. I'm satisfied with her dedicated and responsible manner. read more

I'm a tomboyish queer person. I've always made-do with clothes off the rack, which has worked fairly well until I was looking for something sharp to wear to my own wedding. I went to 9 Tailors after they were recommended by a friend. I went in with no knowledge of bespoke clothing, and wasn't sure I'd make it past the sticker shock of the price of a custom suit. Sam was very patient (she even asked for my pronouns, which was a welcome surprise). She could tell I was very hesitant about the money, but assured me that 9 Tailors would work with me to create something I'd love, and if not, I'd be able to get my money back. In the time it took for me to decide to go ahead or not, I asked Sam a few questions about how 9 Tailors came to be, and who they work with to produce the garments. It was after this conversation that I decided that I did want to make the investment, and support Sam and her business. It's important to me to shop small & local when I can, and it's a plus that I get to support a minority-owned and woman-owned business. The process itself was fairly easy to go through. Sam took a bunch of measurements for my 3 piece suit and we looked at different fabric, cut, and button options. She allowed me to pick what I liked, and offered suggestions to help. She let me know it would be about 6 weeks until I'd hear back. When the suit was ready, she had me return to the store to try things on, so that we could see what alternations were needed. I also added a custom shirt to the order. At my final fitting, I went to try everything on and noticed that the shirt had a snag through it. Sam confirmed this and let me know she would rectify the situation and make sure I had a defect free shirt to wear for my special day. In the end, I had a great custom suit for my beach wedding and felt super happy about my decision the day of. If you have the ability/opportunity to work with Sam on custom clothing, I'd highly recommend her and 9 Tailors. read more

I just want to be clear on this....most of these reviewers seem too good to be true, and with advice, i went to 9tailors and i got anything but a fairytale. FYI-most of the other reviewers? Most likely Friends or Staff...yelp should do a screening so these things dont happen. Nice move on making the reviews sound like a cheesy infomercial. but thanks to your fabricated reviews, i just had to post this. Next time when you want to buy off someones review make sure they have more than 1 review or a review other than your business to make it more believable.....i hate when businesses do this. My Experience: -Saw a deal on Gilt for a Custom Suit for under $500 -said heck yea & jumped on it -went in to get "measured" lets keep those quotes in mind ($ 10 parking) -waited 4-6 weeks per usual -went back in to pickup/ 2nd round tailoring ($10 dollars for parking) now heres where the fun begins: -this place is MTM!!!!!! for those who dont know what this means, dont worry since it wont bother you lol, just bothers me why they use the word custom. -weight of the suit: for 240's super fine wool this definitely did not feel like anything but like 100's in terms of texture and softness and what i felt in the swatch book. 240's seem great, but bigger isnt always better. -silhouette :boxy appearance, more american cut than European ( i specifically requested European cut) i looked like lurch...no joke -looks like it was sewn from some standard pattern and not from the measurements as evident when i put the jacket on. -lining felt very light and aloof -button missing on the pants (almost inexcusable, this just confirms that there is no quality check once constructed and prior to shipment) -did not feel like it was fully canvassed, looked and felt very lifeless as a fused suit would. -shoulder pads that were inserted looked like 80's female suit horns -not comfortable with another 2 weeks of further tailoring by someone i do not know of / and the option to take it to my tailor was rejected-(see my review on jacks tailors and his awesomeness) -pant lengths were off by 3 inches with cuff, that margin is a bit too high considering MTM -came straight from working out, didnt have a dress shirt or dress shoes on me to try on while wearing the suit, i was told to come back with them next time, or they can take an "estimated" guess....uh huh..yeap way to be professional, what clothier has no spare shirts or dress shoes lying around for customers to wear with their "PRODUCT". Bottom line: looks like this place is known for shirts, but if my experience counts for anything i wouldn't hold too many high expectations for the shirt either. Its a shame, since i had very high hopes and expectations due to the Yelp ratings and reviews that were posted, but alas i guess you can buy reviews much like you can buy a bad suit. i guess my biggest problem with this place is why go through the pretense of measurements when at the end of the day the people in china take height as the only measurement to cut it out of a standard pattern?????? give me off the rack anyday with a tailor who can make it mine. Sam was the only saving grace at this place, i feel like if she assisted me from the get go, i would have a much different experience, but i got some trainee instead which took bad measurements. In the end i got my money back, but with dashed hopes and dreams of having a well fitted suit and down a couple bucks on gas and parking. read more

Simply wonderful. It's so great to see minority owned and run businesses doing what they do and doing it well. I had a lovely experience. Eboni was charming, and very helpful. They have great taste and were indispensable when we were going through all the options. I got a custom shirt and vest and had so much fun playing with all the possibility. FYI for all you Gender non-confirming folx, my partner also came and had a shirt made too. They were totally fine with accommodating her in a men's style shirt. And quite reasonable prices for bespoke! I only wish I had discovered 9Tailors sooner. read more

This review is long overdue. A little bit of background about me - I'm 31, work in finance and typically wear a suit to work everyday. Therefore its very important to me how the suits I wear look, feel, and fit. I wouldn't say I purchase ultra-fancy suits, but I'm more than willing to spend money on the right suit and more importantly to have it tailored to fit perfectly. Probably around 6 months ago, my wife stumbled upon a GILT deal on a suit at a custom tailor - 9 Tailors. The price was right, so I figured - what's the harm? I bought the deal and made an appointment with 9 Tailors. I won't get into excruciating detail here, but I went in with one of the suits in my closet that I like and the person working there sat down with me to walk me through the process. We picked styles, fabrics, and just had a general chat about my taste in suits. They took a look at the suit that I was wearing, measured me and measured my suit and off I went. Suit would be ready in a couple weeks. When it was ready, I made another appointment and I went in to see the product. I was not impressed. The fabric was fine, the fit was ok, but most importantly, there were weird bumps in the shoulder pads. It didn't lie flush. They looked at it, agreed with my assessment on fit and the bumps and told me that they would send it to the tailors to have it fixed. Fast forward about a month and couple more meetings and although the suit was alot better, they could not fix the bumps completely and I wasn't satisfied. Because I was not completely satisfied, Sam (owner) proactively told me that she would either refund my money, or make me a new suit. Bear in mind that although I wasn't satisfied with the suit, I was very appreciative of the service and attentiveness throughout the entire process. Sam and her team were very client service focused. So - I decided to try again with another suit. I sat down with Sam and I went through an abbreviated process and chose a new fabric - navy pinstripe. Sure enough, a couple weeks later the suit was ready and I went in to try it on. The fit was spot on. The fabric was soft and draped well. The suit had a couple little things to be tightened up, but otherwise looked great. They had me walk to their tailor across the street and had him point out any last fixes and a week later I had a beautiful suit that was pretty close to perfect. AND I got it for a fraction of the price I would typically pay. Although it took some time and effort - I ended up with a suit that I proudly wear at the beginning of my suit rotation. I can't say enough about Sam and her team. I was very impressed by how focused she was on ultimately ensuring that the customer was satisfied. I look forward to working with Sam and her team again when it comes time to add to my suit repetoire. Just to get an idea on what my suit looked like, here are some details: - Dark navy pinstripe pattern - 2-Button - Double Vent - Functional buttons - Notch Lapel - Flat front trousers - You get the idea. read more

I can't recommend this place highly enough. You can see by my other Yelp reviews that I put customer service almost above the actual product. 9tailors is not only a customer service dream, but their product is excellent as well. I chose this place mostly based on vibe, after visiting several other stuffier stores, or stores that mostly talked about what they *couldn't* do. The women of 9tailors, however, are a joy to work with, and they make something as potentially dull as having a suit made into a ton of fun, yet are super professionals, working with you over every last detail until you get exactly what you asked for. In my case, I came in for a suit for my wedding with a very VERY specific/eccentric concept that existed mostly in my head -- the style consultants were ridiculously patient with my groomzilla-like inability to pull the trigger regarding styles, fabrics, etc. However, working mostly with Kimberly (who was awesome), we were able to get the concept out of my head and onto paper, and then into an absolutely amazing suit that was exactly what I had envisioned in my best-case scenario (eccentric/stylized without looking costumey -- no easy feat!). In the end, (my wedding) I think I got as many compliments on my suit as my wife did on her wedding gown (and she looked breathtaking). I would recommend 9tailors in a heartbeat and will certainly use them again. Note: I've read the grumpy reviews of 9tailors (below) -- my review is genuine; I'm not a friend of the owner. Look me up and/or message me through yelp and see! read more

I guess I should start this review by saying that I am not what I would consider the typical person who would go to a custom clothier for a suit. It has just never made sense to me ... until I started to dig a little deeper and really look at the end product of what you would be getting. Admittedly, I have always been the person who bought my suits off the rack and then had them tailored (as best possible) and had suits that I would characterize as being 'fine'. There was nothing overly special about them, they did their job, and they didn't break the bank. Seeing as how I needed to pick up a couple of new suits, I decided to check out 9 Tailors (as a handful of people I work with have all purchased suits from here in last few years). I can't say enough great things about Sam and her team. What I will say is that Sam runs her business in a manner that gives every client confidence in what the end product is going to look/feel like and that (as a client) you are going to be completely satisfied with your clothing when the process is complete. I would argue that in any business, things can go 'off the tracks' from time to time. The fact this can happen isn't what a business should be judged on, instead, it is my opinion that the business should be judged on how they react and respond to these situations. Again, I have found Sam and her team to be stellar in every aspect. They are proactive, and are clearly experts at what they do. Having suits that properly fit me, and have been custom fit to my body size/shape is something that many people simply can't get when buying out of a traditional retail shop. I will absolutely be returning for additional products in the near future. I would highly recommend 9 Tailors to anyone, anywhere, at any point in time. Keep up the great work!! read more

Great place. Very attentive and reasonably priced for custom suits. They also offer more expensive fabrics if you want them. Experience was very easy they take all the measurements they need and the suit fits pretty well. I bought a suit for my wedding and they even stitched groom and the wedding date in the inside of the jacket. Very good experience will buy more suits in the future. read more

9Tailors - Men's Clothing Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Paul K. is right...most of these five-star reviews are bogus reviews, likely from friends of the owner (check out the filtered 5-star reviews too.). I ordered five dress shirts form here and received one I really liked, three which were okay and one that wasn't even what I ordered. Turns out the sweatshop in China that 9tailors outsources to had a different pattern number for the shirt I ordered out of the store catalog. Sam, the owner, of course didn't believe me and tried to pawn off this ugly shirt with a disgusting contrast collar, saying "are you sure you didn't order this?" And then finally - "do you want this instead?" When I asked for just a refund - she came back "are you sure, no store credit?" She finally agreed to credit me, but of course I had to remind her twice via email. Now the kicker - when I finally did get my credit, she did it via Pay Pal using her credit card, which of course costs me a 3% transaction fee. Sure, we're talking $2.70 off a $90 shirt, but since I paid her via Pay Pal bank account (costing her no transaction fee) - I was beyond pissed she couldn't even afford me the same courtesy. Do not trust 9 tailors...they are immoral thieves. read more

Going to 9Tailors is like a trip to the Candy Store! For years, I found it challenging to find dress shirts as I ...um, well am quite busty. The top button on a lot of my dress shirts would pop open during inappropriate times where I found myself to be in very embarrassing situations. It was a blessing for me to find 9Tailors as I am able to get custom fitted shirts that allows me to avoid the humility. I love going through all of the color swatches and being able to select every detail on my shirts. I love mandarin collars (which is another hard item to find for women's shirt), and now I can pretty much get it whenever I want. I love it. Considering the fact that each shirt I get from 9Tailors is custom made the price is very fitting ;) read more

I am about to start work at a major management consulting firm in New York. I was an engineering major in college and never paid attention to custom tailored dress shirts. I mean, why buy $60-$90 dress shirt when you go get through job interviews with $15 ones? I heard about 9tailors through a campus advertising effort and bought a shirt just to see what the buzz was about. I was amazed by the product they delivered. What I got for $60 was a sleek, well textured dress shirt that fit me better than any other shirt in my entire closet. I have worn that shirt to interviews and to bars, and have received many compliments. I realized that you might be able to get a shirt with same quality / texture for similar prices at a major retail store. However, finding one that fits you perfectly on any occasion is difficult and extremely time consuming. In addition to the superb customer service, 9tailors remember your fit and adding shirts to your wardrobe can't be any easier. I am on my third 9tailor shirt and won't be buying shirts from anywhere else. 9tailors is definitely Boston's best custom tailor for dress shirts. read more

I wish I could get every single article of my wardrobe made by them. I had an amazing experience. She pushed me just beyond my comfort zone and I felt like I could really rely on her eye and expertise. Because of that, I got a suit for my wedding that was greater than I could have imagined. read more

A group of us got custom suits for my buddy's wedding and they came out awesome! Fits perfectly and is very comfortable. Doing the fitting was a breeze and the staff is friendly, professional and cool. Will be recommending 9tailors to anyone looking for a new suit! read more

I came to 9tailors in an emergency after another custom tailor in New York who shall remain nameless (rhymes with Lohan's) utterly failed to deliver my best man's suit for my upcoming wedding. I came to 9tailors on Tuesday, gave them my best man's measurements on paper and they had the suit made and delivered by Friday. That's insane!!! The other tailor who failed me was speechless. They said it was not possible. I don't recommend giving yourself a week or less for an important occassion, but this is a testament of what these folks are capable of. Despite the fact that my BM's suit measurements were given on paper and not taken in person the suit fit very well. The material was good quality. He looked really good in the suit. I've used 9tailors before and find their shirts and suits to be a great value. You can get a custom made suit and shirt here for a very reasonable price. Their communicatoin is great (I've seen the worst and it's in NYC). They stand behind their product and provide great customer service. Thank you 9tailors for your help! read more

I think the experience that you will get with this place will depend on what you get and who takes your measurements. My friend who came with me bought a custom suit, but had a really bad experience when he came back to get his suit. But my experience was actually pretty pleasant. I got a custom-fit dress shirt. Sam was the one who helped me and took my measurements (the Asian girl) and she did a great job and was very helpful when I was trying to figure out what my shirt was going to look like. She really knows how to match colors with secondary patterns and your skin tone. After my initial measurements, it took about 5 weeks for my shirt to come. It was about a week longer then they said it would. Four weeks is pretty standard and they outsource to China. When I came back to get my shirt it fit perfectly.It cost $150 with custom patterns on the cuffs and the collar. I haven't tried washing and ironing yet, so but they give you 2 wash-dry cycles to get anything fixed. Now, my advice to you is to ask specifically for Sam to do your measurements and help you out from the beginning. I think she is the most experienced and helpful out of the workers there. I wouldn't let anyone else take my measurements or buy a suit based on the below review. However, if you're looking for a really good shirt that fits perfectly and looks great, 9tailors is a good choice. Just remember to ask for Sam. read more

I purchased a woman's dress shirt from 9tailors a couple of years ago to wear with my suits and had a really good experience with the company. Sam was extremely kind and pleasant. Measurements were taken when I went to my appointment and I was told that if there were any issues after the shirt arrived, they would work with me to fix them. I customized my dress shirt to be a plain pink shade with a polka dot collar and cuffs - it is absolutely adorable. The shirt came in relatively quickly and I went back in for a fitting. I liked it enough not to ask for further alterations. I would say the cost was fair - I honestly can't remember what I paid, but I don't remember it being outlandish. Anyways, I've been wearing this dress shirt for two years now and it's held up well. The fit was great then and great now. I did request invisible snap buttons that would prevent gaping at the bust and the shirt fits seamlessly as a result. All in all, good experience and I would come back! My brother and several of his friends came here for suits for a wedding and he said his experience was great as well. read more

I recently came to 9tailors for my first ever high-end custom suit purchase. I am thrilled with the quality of the suit, the fit, and the level of service I received. I'd definitely recommend 9tailors to anyone looking for a nice suit. After a really disappointing experience at a Men's Wearhouse (I felt like MW was on par with used car dealers), I decided I was at the point in my life where I should get a NICE custom-fitted suit, particularly because I'm a bit of a difficult size. I narrowed my choices down to 9tailors or Blank Label, and ultimately ended up going with 9tailors because they seem to offer a slightly better variety of fabrics, options, etc based on what I had seen. From start to finish, the level of service I received was excellent. They took their time and talked to me about fit options, took lots of measurements, and the results really show... the suit fits better than anything I could possibly imagine. The price is surprisingly reasonable if you compare it to what you would pay in a nicer department store like Macy's, Nordstrom, etc. Mine was more expensive because I got a 3 piece and picked some nicer custom options, but the base prices are very reasonable for what it is. The suit arrived earlier than they had promised, and after my test-fitting they wanted to make two minor alternations to make sure it was just right (which they said could take two weeks.) However the alterations were finished in less than a week, which was great! It wasn't convenient for me to come back a 3rd time to check the altered fit and pick up the suit, so I asked if I could have the suit shipped to me. They did, but they did charge me $9 for shipping. Not a huge deal, but if someone had just bought an $1100+ suit from me, I would ship it to them for free. Regardless, I am very thrilled with the process and the final product, and they were great to deal with. I will definitely be buying a few more shirts from them in the near future, and would highly recommend them! read more

I purchased two shirts from 9tailors over a year ago, but seeing as there are no reviews for women's clothing, thought I would toss in my two cents. I was excited about the idea of 9tailors when I first heard about it. I'm extremely petite, and have a hard time finding dress shirts that fit off the rack. When I arrived, I took it as a sign of confidence that the shop was staffed by petite women. Though it should have been a warning flag to me that they weren't actually wearing any of their own productions... They were pleasant and patiently went through the book of custom materials with me. I was completely lured by the endless combinations of cloth-patterns and contrast piping. At this point, I was imagining a whole new wardrobe. But struck by an unusual moment of common sense, decided to try out a small order first. My measurements were taken by what I assume was the trainee at the time. When I came back several weeks later, I was surprised to find that the shirts were extremely ill-fitted, as if they were made for another person entirely. The shoulders were awkwardly large. The sleeves were tight and strangely puckered at the underarms. The body was boxy, and unfeminine, which I assumed was because they were used to men's orders. The fabric of one was stiff and cheap looking. The make of the other one was noticeably imperfect: the fabric was very sheer and they overlapped it at the seams in such a way that made these wide, squiggly opaque lines of uneven widths. They offered to fix the fit at least. Sam took over at this point and re-measured. But when I came back again, they still didn't fit. Repeat experience two weeks later. By that time, I was tired of coming back again and again, and it looked like they were going to be brusque if I asked them one more time anyway. So I took the sad little things home. Since then, I've worn the slightly better-fitted shirt once - that's it. Though Sam gave me a discount on the second shirt for the trouble, I've ended up spending $175 I think. The entire process also took over two months. I'd hope for their sake that they'd have worked out the kinks by now, but suspect that these problems are inherent to their outsourcing model. To be fair, these shirts are reasonably nice-looking when on the hanger, but what's the point of getting a custom shirt that doesn't fit? read more

Sam and her team are absolutely amazing. They made me a beautiful tuxedo for my wedding and blazer for the night before. I can't tell you how many compliments I got on both. The team was so friendly and professional to work with and the quality of the garments was second to none. Thank you, 9tailors!! read more

My husband and I worked with 9 Tailors for a custom 2-piece suit for our wedding reception. We wanted well-fitted suit that will pop in our photos. At our first appointment, we brought in some photos for inspiration. Samantha worked with us to design a custom-suit that fit our tastes and budget and even provided some guidance to make sure the suit would be usable for other occasions. I highly recommend 9 Tailors for all of your suiting needs! read more

I have been going to 9Tailor for a couple of years now and they are fantastic! I have a couple shirts, a couple suits, a blazer and I keep coming back because the fit and customization is like no other. I recently got married and I wanted a very specific look for my tuxedo. Midnight blue with a shawl collar and I went to 9tailor because I knew they would deliver. I worked mostly with Kim on the tux (and she's great!) but throughout the fittings I worked with Sam and Alex as well. Not only do they work extremely hard to make sure you are completely satisfied but they also give you great advice on what patterns and colors to choose if you are unsure. As usual, the final product looked incredible. I truly cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone looking for a custom suit or shirts. For slightly more than something off the rack at Macy's (that won't fit!) you can own a suit custom built just for you with all the details you want. read more

9tailors exceeded all of our expectations. Before our wedding, my now husband and I decided it would be best to get a custom tux since rentals cost upwards of $250 and barely fit. We made an appointment and met with Sam who was extremely professional and walked us through the entire process. As newbies to tux buying, she had her hands full explaining the intricacies of designing a custom tux but she was very thorough in her explanations and which made us feel comfortable with our decisions. At our second meeting, which was the fitting, we had just as good of an experience. The tux and custom shirt fit perfectly and just the pants needed to be slightly hemmed to fit Noah's taste. All in all, we received a very well fitting tux and shirt for around 4x the cost of a rental. WELL worth it, in our opinions! We also purchased a bowtie which Sam willingly mailed us so that we didn't have to come back into the store. Overall, we had a very positive experience and would highly recommend 9tailors for all you custom menswear needs! read more

9Tailors - Custom tux from 9tailors. - Men's Clothing Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This place is complete incompetence. Stay away. They made the wrong vest for my wedding tuxedo. We aren't talking about minor details, it was completely the wrong cut. They didn't bother to check the order when it came in. So they didn't know they were wrong until my Fitting. I had to follow up to make sure they ordered it. It is now 5 days before my wedding and they still don't have the vest. Hopefully they don't completely screw up the alterations as wel This is not how tailors should work. I would have been better off and saved a lot of money buying off the rack and then getting altered. If you have an important event STAY AWAY!!!!!!! read more
