thigh measurement taken on 4/29/22 to confirm I wasn't going crazy and my thighs didn't grow 4" since my 1st fitting on 11/10/21
Michelle M.

TL;DR Lack of accountability and gaslighting by owner that caused a body complex in a previously body confident person. Insufficient measurements taken during first fitting resulted in four rounds of alterations (including two remakes). Factory remade pants using the wrong fabrics. Did not have a fitting pair of tux pants until the weekend before my wedding, despite starting the process six months in advance. I am writing this review over two months after my wedding day. I waited this long to 1) protect my energy and happiness during this beautiful time of my life and 2) to ensure that I could deliver the facts as clearly as possible to help others avoid having the awful experience I did. Because Yelp reviews have a character limit of 4000, I have attached pictures that include the full story supporting my review. Bindle & Keep's made-to-measure process does not include sufficient measurements to service folks with proportions like mine (smaller waist, bigger butt, thick/muscular thighs). I have had made-to-measure clothes made elsewhere in the past, and to ensure the best fit, a greater number of measurements were taken. My thighs were not measured in the first fitting at Bindle & Keep, despite me emailing weeks in advance acknowledging the concern I had about their ability to accommodate my waist-to-butt-to-thigh proportion. The thigh measurement the owner, Daniel Friedmann, took during the 3rd fitting was taken while I was wearing tight pants that were compressing my legs. Also, no thigh measurement was taken while I was sitting down and therefore did not take into account how thighs expand while sitting. Instead of taking accountability for the limitations of his process, Daniel attempted to gaslight me into believing that somehow my thighs had each grown over 4" in circumference in five months months despite ample data proving that to be impossible (see attached photos for further detail). Since my experience with Bindle & Keep, I have taken time to read reviews from other recent customers (something I should have done before booking) and have seen the owner clapback and avoid accountability in a similar fashion that I experienced with him in person and via email. Knowing he will most likely attempt to gaslight my review as well, I will include these undeniable, documented facts: My weight fluctuated no more than 5.4lb (149.6-155lb) between September 2021 and April 2022. My body fat fluctuated no more than 1.4% (23.9%-25.4%) during the same period. My waist, hips and thigh measurements changed only 0.5in between September 2021 and April 2022. I have been wearing the same Size 28 jeans as I purchased the week before my first fitting in November for the last 8 months. I went so far as to consult with my primary care physician and a professional body builder and both confirmed that it would be a medical marvel for anyone, especially someone of my size and genetic disposition, to gain 4" of circumference in their thighs and hips even with extreme weightlifting routine and diet. To suggest that my thigh measured 25.5" in September, shrunk nearly 4" by the first fitting in November, then grew back 4" to 26" in April is simply asinine. For reference, I've included full details on my measurements, weight, bodyfat and workout habits in the photos. I will leave it up to the reader to discern whether they want to support a business owner who talks to his customers in this way. I encourage you to read other reviews on Google, Yelp and elsewhere, hear how others' issues have been handled, and take notice of how the owner responds to customers' criticisms.

When I needed a suit for my wedding I knew I had to go to Bindle & Keep. Every part of the process lived up to my expectations from when I first walked in the door, to my fitting, and my wedding day. The suit fit perfectly and needed no alterations which was amazing and almost unheard of! The suit I had custom made was everything I envisioned. Still receiving compliments on this one of a kind suit from Bindle & Keep! Cannot thank you enough!

Bindle & Keep hosts a beautiful space with knowledgeable employees who strive to provide a welcoming and informative experience for their customers. My sister is having a custom suit made for her wedding in June, and I accompanied her to the first measurement appointment. She wasn't sure what to expect for the first appointment, so I'll describe the process for anyone else who may be wondering! We were met by several staff members and had one employee who was assigned to us. Daniel was our guy - he was easy to work with, patient, and helpful. First, my sister presented a couple pictures of suits she likes, and Daniel commented on each picture, explaining designs and trends. With an idea of what she was looking for, we began exploring options. Swaths of cloth were brought out, with the goal of choosing the cloths for the interior and exterior of the suit. After these choices, Daniel went down a list of options for facets of the suit and spoke about the differences between options. Again, Daniel was very knowledgeable and great at explaining the choices, and why some people might choose one over the other. My sister was also able to try on a test suit to see what she thought about the color/fit prior to her actual customization. Finally, after making many choices about colors, designs, and materials, both Daniel and another employee took my sister's measurements (taken twice to ensure accuracy). The measurement process took about 20 minutes, and it seemed they were sure to be precise without being invasive. Overall, this was a positive experience for my sister and she is looking forward to coming back to try on her customized suit!

Wedding tux by B&K. Could not have been happier!
Sarah B.

The team at Bindle & Keep is fully responsible for me looking and feeling fantastic on my wedding day! I worked with Daniel, who is absolutely wonderful and had great styling tips in addition to creating the perfect wedding tux for me. Derrick, who helped with scheduling, was so patient with me even during some bridal freak-outs. I always got extremely prompt responses about when the suit would be ready, and when we did go in for the first fitting, there was not a single alteration needed. As a lady-identified person who has a million and one troubles finding androgynous/masculine suits, Bindle & Keep was such a tremendous find! I am looking forward to many more B&K suits and shirts in my future.

Feeling dapper in my new B&K Blazer!
Emily G.

My experience with Bindle & Keep was extremely positive. Daniel and Abby fit me for my first blazer and it came out absolutely smashing. Here's an account of my experience: - I made an appointment online and Derrick was extremely polite and quick at scheduling me in. - Daniel and Abby came to my house and walked me through the process. I've never done this before and was in dire need of a basic black blazer for my corporate job. As an androgynous person it was key I get a blazer that suits my body (no pun intended) and that didn't make me look Melanie Griffin in "Working Girl." They made me feel completely at ease with the process. - Daniel then took my measurements as Abby showed my girlfriend the plethora of fabrics. It meant a lot to me that they involved her and made it as if we were hanging out with friends. - After the fitting, it was on to selecting the fabric, lining, piping, monogram and more. The customization options are endless! - It then took 4-5 weeks for the blazer to be created. (Note: it usually doesn't take that long, they had to create my template since it was my first time.) - Daniel then came over for my final fitting and "Voila!" I had the perfect skinny black androgynous blazer. The blazer fit right out of the bag, no additional adjustments required. He then also walked me through all the special, customized touches - I felt like I was getting a new car! Needless to say, I'm very pleased and have worn my new custom blazer (dressed up and casual) numerous times in the past two weeks. It was pricey, but a very worth while investment. Every time I wear it to work, I get compliments galore. I already have another fitting for my next blazer scheduled... Thanks Bindle & Keep for making me feel so dapper.

How long it takes them to make a suite?

We are currently going on 3.5 months since our first appointment, and still awaiting the shirt that had to be re-made because the sleeves were too short. What's the point in taking all those measurements, if the sleeves are going to wind up being… Read more
