I wanted a custom suit for my wedding and came across Jake's business in my research in 2021-2022. I liked the suits he made for male physiques but, at the time, I wasn't sure if he tailored suits for feminine frames. I was happy to hear he was open to working with me and I was able to get a bespoke suit. He's very knowledgable about current trends and easy to talk to about his process. I learned a lot about professional menswear during each fitting. I was so happy with my wedding suit, and he was such a pleasure to work with, I went back in 2024 for another vest suit for my friends' late summer wedding. Endless compliments about my suit. I'll definitely be back for future suiting needs. read more

He does EXCELLENT work along with providing exceptional communication and attention to detail. The quality is top tier. I get a mountain of compliments every time I wear one of his suits- they always look sharp and Jacob is on top of the latest trends. I cannot recommend him enough. Worth the money every time. read more

My husband initially came here to get a custom suit for our wedding. Over the years we've come back to get more everyday suits / sportcoats / button down shirts made. Everything is top quality and holds up well over time. You can get clothes made in any color / pattern / design but if you're overwhelmed by the choices Jacob can recommend classic choices for things like fabric, lining, and buttons that will all look good together. The fitting / consult itself is very easy, takes about half an hour. Then you can pick up your custom clothes a few weeks later! I can't recommend Jacob enough, my husband usually hates shopping for clothes but always looks forward to coming here. read more

I went through Jake to get my tux and tux shirts for my wedding. He did a great job explaining options at different price points and we found an option that fit my budget. The fabric quality is high and the bespoke process he used for measuring is extremely effective. I didn't even have to go back for any final alterations. I highly recommend this shop for anyone in the market for a high-quality tux or custom suit at reasonable prices! read more

Purchased 5 custom shirts. Very interesting experience getting to customize and choose exactly what you want (color, material, buttons, cuffs, collar, measurements, fit, monogram, ect).

People and friends have noticed and commented on how high quality they look. I'm very happy with my purchase. Highly recommend Jacob for any formal wear needs. read more

I've owned my suit for about a year and since being able to take it to a few different events and occasions, it's left a great impression on everyone, including myself. I'm thoroughly impressed with the quality, color, material and precisely-fitted suit. Jake's friendliness and attention to detail makes going to Jacob Young a no-brainer for bespoke suits. read more

We purchased two custom suits for our wedding recently. Jake was warm, professional and very helpful, guiding us through the process and making sure we ended up with two beautiful suits we were very happy with. We'd recommend Jacob to everyone, especially for those looking for custom suits -- the deal was great and I'd much prefer to use a local business than something like Indochino. read more

I noticed the fashionable store front of Jacob's when it just opened. My wedding was coming up and even though I am usually a fan of big brands and stores, this time I wanted to try something more tailored,unique, and new. I decided to stop by and see if Jacob's was the right place. And let me tell you, it really was! 1. Design. Jacob is extremely knowledgeable about men's fashion. He is very knowable about British suits . After chatting for sometime I realized I can totally trust Jacob's with advice and expertise! I explained to him my vision for my wedding suit and diner jacket and it turned out exactly like I wanted. His approach allows you to customize every little detail of your suit and this what really makes up a bespoke suit at the end of the day! 2. Materials and craft. The range of materials and quality of materials Jacob offers are the best. 3. Final product. It was delivered before the deadline, was exactly like I envisioned and most importantly looked and fit like a glove. I loved it and received so many compliments from my sartorialistic friends. Overall, I highly recommend Jacob and will be using his services going forward for all of my bespoke suits and shirts! read more

I cannot sing enough praises for Jake. Before we first walked into his store, I won't lie, I wasn't fully sure he would be able to make my outrageous gay wedding suit dreams come true. He is a classic man, who excels at traditional sophistication. So no question he will make you look good. But he patiently listened to my atypical ask (a bright green suit), and he never once shot it down. He provided multiple options of how to work with him, and was very attentive to my celebrity screenshots and constant questions. By providing our own fabric, I was able to mix my colorful personality with his perfect craftsmanship. I couldn't ask for more. The suits we received are high-quality works of art, and my husband & I are glad we chose to work with Jake for such an important day. I know for sure that when I need another suit of any kind, I'll return to him for his sleek expertise. read more

I feel very lucky to have Jacob Young in Chicago. His work is excellent, he has something for everyone's price range and his prices are competitive at the very least. More importantly, he's one of the most trustworthy people I've met. He stands by his product and will make you whole if there are any issues whatsoever. On top of being an excellent purveyor of men's suits, he is a value-oriented person and is long term minded when it comes to client service. He went above and beyond for me. I have two examples that demonstrate Jacob's commitment to his product and his clients.   1. The original fabric that I chose for my tuxedo was considered black by the manufacturer. Weeks later, after Jacob worked on the jacket, he noticed it had a slightly blue tint. He called the manufacturer who confirmed that the fabric did in fact have a blue tint. Jacob immediately made me aware of this and offered to remake the garment at no additional cost to me. Despite the fact that I chose the fabric and the manufacturer didn't make us aware of the blue tint on the swatch. None of this was Jacob's faults, but he resolved the issue anyway.   2. I lost more weight than I expected for my wedding and both of my wedding jackets, shirts and trousers needed to get remade or resized more than twice. Due to timing and other factors, Jacob offered to deliver my tuxedo the day before our wedding at the wedding venue. Incredible. There's no other store or person in Chicago that I know that would do something like this. If you're prize quality and client service above everything, Jacob is your guy. Thank you again Jacob! read more

I became a client of Jacob's earlier this year and it didn't take long for me to decide that he would be my life-long custom clothing tailor. My first custom tailored suit experience from Jacob Young exceeded my expectations. From the moment he welcomes you into his store you immediately notice his customer-focused attitude. The highest level of commitment and service is present in every step of his custom tailoring process. Jacob has a wide range of fabrics from various mills, every customization option that exists, and is a natural at determining your specific style and needs. All of these result in delivering high quality products that I guarantee will become treasured additions to your professional wardrobe and will leave you wanting more. read more

Jake was great to work with. His approach to custom clothing, fabric selection as well as turn around time and ultimately the look and feel of the final product was excellent. I have tried other custom clothiers and I was very impressed with Jake's work and the price was similar if not better than others. Additionally, the attention to detail was above and beyond what I have experienced elsewhere. They also have some very unique cuts that I have never seen anywhere else that I may try the next time. All in all, I would highly recommend them. read more

Jake is a magician! He is super talented and every step of the custom suit process from beginning to end was incredible. I asked for his help in designing a suit for my summer wedding, and he delivered above and beyond. He has a keen eye for form and design. He is up to date with trends and fashions and beyond that, he is an artist, influencing the fashion space. His suits are unique and definitely have a super personal touch. I enjoyed how he walked me through the process, offered me options, gave me his expert advice, but always made sure to cater to my wants and needs. In addition to his talent, Jake is just overall a great guy. It was a pleasure working with him. I couldn't have asked for a better experience as a prepare for that special day.

We used Jacob for our wedding suits and have been more than pleased with our experience thus far. Would highly recommend!

This is a gem in the neighborhood. The proprietor is gifted and empathetic and polite. Great style. Beautiful clothes. My husband is thrilled. I had a suit and some shirts done for him and he loves them so much. Really beautiful work. read more

Working from home the last several years, I never had much need for a suit. This was further cemented by the fact that i have an abnormal athletic build so it's impossible to buy a suit off the rack. I made the decision I wanted to invest in a nice jacket I could dress up or down and decided to visit Jacob Young. Lots of knowledge, lots of fabrics to choose from, and very professional. Jacket fits like a glove, and the very first night I wore it out a gentleman asked me where I bought the jacket... Custom by Jacob Young. HIGHLY recommended. read more

I wanted some custom shirts made because I'm short - 5'3" and regular dress shirts off the rack don't fit me well. I also figured I would get a jacket at the time. But my main goal was getting clothing that fit well. I went to Jake and got a sport coat and 5 shirts. The selection and the fitting process were both excellent, I was measured twice for the jacket and once for the shirts. I could not love both the jacket and shirts more! Not only does everything fit perfectly, I had no idea how many other elements of the clothing really mattered. I never really thought about jacket weight before but I get hot easily, so he showed me selections that are lighter weight fabrics. And the jacket is really a unique style but it still totally works for work. I've worn in twice so far and gotten tons of compliments. I loved the shirts so much I got 5 more and am going back to get another jacket made soon. It's really worth spending a little more to get your clothing customized, and Jake does a fantastic job recommending new styles and what will look and feel good. read more

Jacob has an impeccable sense of style and a natural at creating bespoke custom clothing. His selection for suits and shirts in beautiful. Highly recommend Jacob! read more

Jacob did an AMAZING job designing, customizing and producing my suit, pants and shirt for my wedding. This wasn't just a wedding this was a wedding in the making for 40 years and he understood that importance. When my then fiancé and I met with Jacob he took his time, offered suggestions and had no high pressure sales approach. The whole process was seamless form beginning to end, Jacob even fit me in the day before my wedding to help me get the hang of how to tie a bow tie. I cannot recommend Jacob enough if you are in need of custom clothing. I will definitely being going to Jacob for all my day to day clothing. read more
