Excellent place to shop for fine apparel! I do a lot of negative reviews, and Harris & Tailor people were so helpful I felt compelled to say some positive review as a way to balance things out in the ether I hope.
My first visit was simply a walk-in. I was in downtown Seatle, where I was visiting and interviewing for work. Walking by the shop as I had some time to sight see and went to the Pike Market that day. I stopped in because the window manequins looked cool. I had to check it out. I gained a little weight over the Spring so I was looking for a few good pieces to update my wardrobe.
JR was there. Very dapper guy. He was welcoming and offered a cup of coffee from his espresso maker in the back. We chatted about silhouettes, as he tried to see what I might really be interested in. He knew all the right questions to help me help myself. I made an appointment for later that week to design a suit for a big date I had scheduled for late Summer at Maryhill in Goldendale, my wine pickup party. I like to dress up for these things. Feels good to look good!
I envied JR; he gets to dress up everyday for work. I work from home, so jeans and tee shirts are my regular attire.
The appointment lasted about 1/2 an hour. JR showed me fabric books to pick the color and feel for my 2 piece suit. I found a nice wool, blue square pattern. The texture was the best part, kind of an open weave. Perfect for a late summer date!
I picked up a new wallet and a pink shirt which I took home that day.
Just as expected, JR called about 2 months later in August for me to test fit the new suit. It was perfect of course! I was stoked!
Date at Maryhill was great too! Amazing wines, good food. Fabulous view. The drive was pleasant. My date loved it as well.
To my surprise, I got jeans and sweater for my birthday which my date sourced at Harris & Tailor. They are Billy Reid jeans and the sweater is a Jach's NY Cardigan. Perfect for my work from home daily rotation!
Highly recommend this cool clothing store for custom suit, or best quality jeans and accessories that you can find in Seattle! read more
