"I just recently purchased my first custom suit from PROPERSUIT, (Chicago) and I couldn't be happier with it. IT FITS PERFECTLY! From the first fitting appointment by the very knowledgable and thorough Kiyoshi Martinez, to the second to dial in the details, I was treated with the utmost courtesy and respect and was given all the information needed to put together the perfect suit. In my case, my first custom charcoal grey. The detailing was just right and the fit impeccable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone with an appreciation for quality, service and overall value. There's something for every budget without compromising an amazing look and fit. I Immediately got rid of all my old suits when I got home and will definitely be replacing them all with Propersuits! THANK YOU KIYOSHI AND STAFF FOR EVERYTHING!" The above review was for google but I'm here on Yelp to further drive home the importance of looking your best and finding the ever so elusive "go to" place for great looking and fitting garments. Propersuit is as good as it gets for a top notch suit shopping experience for just about anyone ready to make an investment in themselves. There's different price tiers according to fabric but you're sure to get the best suit possible no matter what price range you choose. There's nothing quite like the feeling of wearing something specifically tailor made for you. You come out feeling like a million bucks and it most definitely has an impact on the overall quality of life on many different levels. People everywhere, both respect and admire a well put together man and I again, would highly recommend this place to anyone I know in search of an amazing well fitting suit.. The absolute BEST! read more

I was in a more unique position than most Proper Suit clients (so I've been told) in that I was looking in the more casual end of the spectrum in sports coats to give my wardrobe more versatility. But much like others, I was having trouble finding things in my size off-the-rack and put simply, I wanted things to fit. I think one of the most important things in finding a tailor is finding someone you can trust. Trust in fit, trust in style, and trust in quality. Kiyoshi, in the Chicago office, was that person for me. Although the garments aren't made locally, he was much more than the guy taking down my measurements to be sent to the shop. He was instrumental in guiding me through the myriad of options available at Proper Suit, from the wide-range of fabrics down to the fun things like contrast stitching, to helping me find my style that I'm excited about. I remember my first fitting with Kiyoshi when a few (inevitable) adjustments had to be made to my sports coat. I was already quite satisfied with the nearly-finished product but Kiyoshi felt they could do better and ordered a full remake. The result exceeded even my highest expectations, so much so that I have a couple of more items on order! I think Proper Suit has struck a happy medium between a more budget-friendly approach in online tailors, where fit is hit-or-miss, and a more expensive approach where everything is done locally. Frankly, I don't see a difference in quality in construction compared with the latter and both use fabrics from the same mills. Ultimately, I'm very happy to have found my go-to in Kiyoshi and Proper Suit anytime I want to expand my wardrobe! read more

Before working with Hall Madden, I had worked with many of the custom clothiers in Chicago as well as many of the made to measure programs from the likes of Zegna and Tom Ford. My first experience involved putting a lot of trust in Richard and his team. Not only did I trust them to fit me for my wedding, I had them fit all (10) of my groomsmen and my father. There was a wide range of heights and builds amongst the group and Richard and his team did a phenomenal job getting everyone's fit perfect. Over the past (2) years, I have purchased my custom suits, shirts, and overcoats exclusively from Hall Madden. Kiyoshi Martinez is not only a masterful fitter, he provides great advice on the feel and performance of the thousands of fabric choices. Whether you're in need of an everyday navy suit or something bold to complete your wardrobe, Kiyoshi and Hall Madden will take excellent care of you. read more

Wonderful Experience. I've purchased multiple custom/mtm suits in the past and this was by far the best experience I've had. Recently purchased my 3rd garment from Hall and Madden (2 suits, 1 jacket) and I've been pleased with all of them, especially my latest suit (mid-grey, glen plaid, 2 -button). In my opinion, the quality of the experience is almost wholly dependent on the quality of the person you work with and Kiyoshi has been outstanding. I needed a new suit to celebrate a professional milestone and I was having a hard time selecting a fabric. Kiyoshi was extraordinarily patient in helping me think through options. Most importantly, the suit fit perfectly out of the box which is a testament to his eye for fit and measurement. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. read more

I'm not one to go out of his way to post on Yelp - for anything, really. That being said, I was beyond impressed with the level of customer service and the product offering at Proper Sui , so much so that I had to post immediately. From start to finish - the process was seamless. Whether it was choosing from the hundreds of fabrics or the tailoring to perfect style and fit or the helpful fashion suggestions - Proper Suit delivered beyond expectations. The icing on the cake? It only took 20 minutes. If in the market for a beautiful suit, pea coat, blazer, or trouser - definitely visit PS. You'll be getting a product that transcends the transient nature of fads; these things last and impress for years. read more

I'm by no means wealthy or have the bone structure of Leonardo DiCaprio, but when I walked out of Proper Suit, I felt like a million bucks and had the confidence of Channing Tatum. The level of service I received was incredible. I was fortunate enough to be there when Kiyoshi, Stuart, & McGregor were all in the Chicago office, and each one of these very knowledgable men helped me pick out the perfect fabric, suit details, and tailored size / fit that I was looking for. The attention to detail and concern for how I felt leaving their establishment with the perfect (proper) suit, was beyond amazing. This is the only place I'll go to in Chicago for any of my suit needs. Thanks, Proper Suit! read more

Great customer service, great quality, great fit, great value, great expertise... I got my first proper suit about 2 years ago. The experience is customer focused and seamless. I've been back three times - including a trip with my brother who was skeptical on fit and value. Richard took the time necessary to work with him on fit and he's thrilled with the result. I just recently worked with kiyoshi on a suit for my wedding. Great advice and guidance and I have no question that the end result will be as great as my first two. No question in my mind that proper suit is doing it right and will deliver the best product at the best value in MTM suiting. read more

After years of buying off the rack, I decided to experiment with a custom suit. I tried two different locations and Proper Suit was superior in every way. The process is easy, the customization is fun, and the fit is great. In fact, I have never received more compliments on a single wardrobe item than the custom suit that Kiyoshi made me at Proper Suit. Today I went back for my second item, a tuxedo for my upcoming wedding. The second time was even easier because all my data and sizes have already been saved and updated. It was a super easy process and I am confident the final product will be just as great. read more

This is a great place to get a suit. Kiyoshi is very friendly and knowledgeable, and made the process super easy. I got a suit for my wedding and was really impressed with the final product. We started with getting measurements, then picked fabrics, and wrapped up by selecting some of the details (e.g., jacket lining, buttons). Kiyoshi was focused on customizing the suit to my preferences while also offering some insight because frankly there were many things about suits I had never thought of. If you're looking for a high quality suit without much of a hassle, this is the place to go. read more

I've been a PROPERSUIT customer since 2012. After my first fitting I got a well-fitting suit in a gorgeous blue Loro Piana wool. At my next visit we went over a few tweaks to perfect the fit for a real workhorse suit in charcoal grey. Now it just takes me a few minutes to get a new suit for a summer wedding or an odd jacket for the office. Their fabric selection has only gotten better and better, and each piece has all the little details I've come to appreciate, like the boutonniere loop and the rubber inside the trouser waistband to keep them and your shirt in place. read more

I'm having some more suits made by Kiyoshi over at Hall Madden on Michigan Ave. in Chicago. I first met with them at a trunk show they did in Pebble Beach. Love the work they do. I wear suits at work every day as a banker and they make a tasteful, reliable, comfortable and incredibly well made suit. This is my second visit, and I will be back. Also, the location is on point. Killer top floor office with a stylish and exclusive feel. Kiyoshi has been in the industry for a long time and helps me make informed decisions. I really appreciate his knowledge. Thanks guys! read more

My experiences at Proper Suit has been nothing less than impeccable. I first bought a tuxedo here and have subsequently added four suits and an overcoat. After the initial fitting session, buying additional suits is a breeze; I just call up Richard and he provides recommendations and makes adjustments to the cut measurements that are appropriate to various selected features and fabric characteristics. All in all, I am very pleased with them and I will never buy a suit anywhere else again. Highly recommended for anyone who needs just one suit or a closet-full. read more

I just started a new association job requiring me to dress formally everyday and was in desperate need for some dress shirts and a new suit. I've been told in the past I can be ultra-demanding and impatient but Kiyoshi was a true pleasure to deal with throughout the measuring and selection process - and really knew his stuff. A+ service and the quality of the material is great too. I'll definitely come back. read more

It took me a long time to find a place this great. Finally found a place that gets it. Kiyoshi is a real pro and is excellent to work with. Love the attention to detail and the follow through. Takes something that is typically not a fun thing for me to do to a really great experience. I have bought my last 3 suits from Hall Madden. read more

The clothing that comes from Hall Madden is as good as it gets. Can get nice material from a lot of places, but the fit makes such a difference. I have bought a suit, tux, and blazer from them, and I have absolutely no regrets. Will absolutely buy from them next time I am in the market. read more

Great service, great product, even better prices. All things considered, I can't think of a better suit and shirt buying experience. Will definitely remain a part of their quarterly shirt service and will be picking up another suit before my brothers wedding in October. Can't wait! read more

Best fitting suit I've ever owned, despite multiple tailored suits over the last ten years. Kyoshi is a true professional; he is able and willing to make constructive, fact-based suggestions. Price is fair. I will return to this solid establishment. read more

This is the only place my guy gets his shirts, and when they get holes in the elbows, he just orders more. The shirts also come with styling ideas specific for each shirt! He also got his favorite suit here. All in all, A+ stuff. read more

Kiyoshi provide excellent service. Suit was delivered when promised and the MTM suit could not have been better. Clearly will not be the last suit I purchase from Proper Suit. Recommend without hesitation. read more
