I don't know much about how suits should fit (I don't wear them regularly) so I was really relying on what they suggested to do. When the work was done the suit just looked really sloppy and fell off my waist. Being a nice Midwestern boy I just said, "thank you, looks great" and paid in full. But when I got home and tried it again it was a mess. I brought it to another tailor on Fulton and it fit fantastic when they were done with it. If you know exactly how you want your tailoring done this shop would likely be an OK option for you--the prices were fair, they are very friendly and the turnaround time as promised. If you're looking for guidance on fit you would likely have better luck elsewhere.

Summer of 2023 I was in Chicago for a conference. I had purchased several suits from Knot Standard…read morein New York City previously. I thought I would treat myself and go to their showroom in Chicago. I was measured by Elias, a nice young guy. I spent a couple of thousand dollars, and the suits arrived a couple of months later. I tried on the jackets and realized that they fit poorly. The collars sat off of my neck by nearly a half an inch. This jacket fit like a cheap store bought suit without any tailoring. Far from a made to measure suit that I paid nearly $1000 for, and I bought two. I reached out to Elias immediately to express my extreme dissatisfaction. Communication with Elias was very spotty and I had to repeatedly reach out to him. He finally agreed to remake the jackets. I insisted that the measurement was off, but he said it was not. After a few more months, and many phone calls and text messages, where I was unable to reach him, the newly made jackets arrived. They fit exactly the same with the large, cheap suit, gap off the back of my neck. I've worn one of them a couple of times, but I get mad every time I put it on. Today I put on the other one to see that huge gap looking at me from the mirror. I paid a couple of thousand dollars for two suits , and they fit like crap. I will never do business with Knot Standard again. I have literally spent thousands of dollars with them over the years, no more. I cannot wear these suits. They fit like crap and they make me angry every time I put them on and think of the money I wasted. I'm going to donate them to Goodwill next week.

I found BLVDier on Yelp when looking for a custom suit for my wedding this year that took place on…read moreOctober 19th. Best decision I could have made working with Zach and Kirsten throughout the process from the initial online form inquiry all the way until the final measurements, suit and custom shoe pickup. Kirsten's initial response laid out details about the first consultation, how the first fitting would work after that, an rough estimate of investment ranges and then what a second fitting would work after that. They are both incredibly detail oriented both when it comes to creating the perfect custom clothing but also when it comes to getting to know/care for their customers. Every time I had an appointment, it felt like walking in to meet with two friends or family members. They gave great suggestions in terms of designing the suit but ultimately left the decision up to me to make. They also kept things very simple for someone like myself who had never purchased custom clothing, which made me feel at ease in a situation where it could be very easy to feel intimidated. Another thing that I appreciated as well as that they kept me up to date on the timing of the arrival of my order and since I decided late to add on custom shoes, even give me a heads up before I made the purchase and again when the deadline for arrival was getting closer that they may not make it, so it gave me a chance to have a back up pair at the ready just in case. Thank you Kirsten and Zach for a wonderful experience, absolutely amazing suit and custom shoes and for being such an important part in our special day.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Josh Kercher design our suits for our wedding. We were…read morereally interested in doing something less traditional than you usually see at weddings and Josh helped us pick out gorgeous fabrics that we wouldn't have been confident enough to select with a less artistic designer. As a same sex couple, it was important for us to look like individuals (we definitely didn't want to wear the same thing) but we also needed to coordinate our looks. One wedding guest put it best when she told us we "looked like two jewels." It's so great that Chicago has someone like Josh, who has a great eye and isn't afraid to make bold statements. He was fun to work with, gave us options but helped us reign in our choices when we weren't sure what to do. We're so glad that we were able to get married in unique, fun, and perfectly fitted suits. If you're looking for something truly fashionable and want a suit that fits like a glove, go to Josh!

Why are you buying off the rack? Seriously, why? You're not 20 anymore and don't have to look…read moreclueless. jThere's no single thing that can make your clothes look better on you than having made specifically for you. I was in the market for a blazer/sport coat. I tried more jackets than I can count at Masy's, Brooks Brothers, Banana Republic, Nordstrom, small shops, online...I tried everywhere and I found a lot that were ok, fit ok, but there was always a little drawback, even with tailoring. The sleeve length wasn't quite right. The shoulders were a little too tight...or a little too loose. Why won't the lapel lay right. I'm 40 and sick of settling for ok. Well, I never have to settle again. I sat down with Josh and went over style and fabric choices, he really explained a lot of little details that go into a jacket or suit that you wouldn't know unless you were a professional. I had a few unique design ideas of my own and he worked with me to come up with a one of a kind and stylish jacket that fits.like.a.glove. I mean, wow, the fit could not be more ideal. You will not be disappointed because he'll go over every little detail with you until you get exactly what you want, even if you didn't know exactly what you wanted when you came into his shop. The price is very reasonable for what you get too. When I decided to go the made-to-order route, I did a lot of research and Josh charges about 50% less than the bespoke competition (depending on fabric and details). Why spend $300 on an ok jacket with a couple compromises that you then have to spend more money on to tailor when you can spend $500 and look better dressed than every other guy in the room? Why spend $800 for an established designer when you can spend $500 on an up-and-comer who is as talented as the competition and more motivated to make you happy? Just give the guy a call. Just do it. You will can thank me later.

Suits, dress shirts, a blazer, ties, a pocket square, and belts. Even a trendy umbrella I purchased back in 2017. Everything is custom-fit and custom-made from the highest quality standard materials that I've ever seen. I love the process from start to finish. Going through the books and samples and picking out the materials and designs. Coming in for the fittings. And then eventually walking out with my new swag and then wearing it for the first time. Just as impressive is the customer service and pride they take in their work. I'm not a celebrity or Fortune 500 executive, but that's how the staff have made me feel each and every time I've spent my money here. Stop in and ask for Cathy. You can thank me here later. Much gratitude to the entire staff at Richard Bennett Custom Tailors.

These guys focus on custom styling catered directly to you based off height, skin tone, eye color, posture and more. Their wide range of collections, designs and ideas, for each season, makes for a unique and forward-thinking equilibrium between style and trendsetting. The even have a code, "Agriculture's Gentleman Standard", which means no man will be styled the same. Plus, you'll get libations while they make your magic happen!

Lee is a very accessible person who is dedicated to style and all the little details that add up to a very large message - that your clothes say something authentic and original about you.

From there I purchased two custom shirts and drove him slightly crazy with my spreadsheets of options so we could quickly make more shirts. They are fantastic and all the little details make me feel special. I just worked with him on a sports coat. He came to my home and measured me up and we chose all the fabric, inside fabric, thread, button and other details. Just picked it up and again, a great sportscoat. Lee's space feels like a clothing laboratory in a well-worn space that transmits good ideas, and clothes happen there. I highly recommend Lee and know you will recommend him too.
