This is a review about long ago, when it was St. Laurie's. My husband and I went to NYC over the…read moreholidays and while there I found out I had a job offer back home. I called and accepted. So since my husband had gotten a great 3 piece suit there the year before, I went to St. Laurie's and got 3 skirt suits and a blazer. It was quite a stretch for us but they were beautiful and I knew I would wear them for years. When I got home, they rescinded the offer. St. Laurie's was so kind. They let me return my clothes. I cried and cried as I boxed them up and shipped them. I have always treasured that kindness. My husband still wears his suit.

When we went to him, he said he could do it for us and not only did he deliver, the results were way beyond what we had expected. The tux he made for my husband fit perfectly. Even though we were in a little bit of a time crunch, Andy and his team took the time to make sure every little detail looks perfect! He opened up his schedule for us to come back in for one more fitting right before our wedding! My husband is really skinny and tall, so it's hard for him to find a tux jacket that fits perfectly at places like Brooks Brothers or a traditional retailer. Andy made him look like a million bucks on our wedding day. The tuxedo pants he made also fit wonderfully. We are so, so happy that we found Andy and had our tux made by him. We will definitely return in the future for my husband's business suits, shirts and pants! If you need something custom and made with extreme care and detail, Saint Laurie is definitely the right choice!

*updated stars after communication from owner*…read more I think the quality at Alan David is very good--my previous suit from them is excellent and gets frequent compliments. That's why I returned in May 2025 to order a sportcoat. Unfortunately, the customer service this time fell short of my expectations. By late August, I realized I hadn't heard anything about the order and called for an update. I was told the fabric had been out of stock and later delayed due to the factory's vacation schedule, which seemed reasonable enough. In September, they contacted me for a fitting, but the appointment date inadvertently fell on a holiday when the store was closed. I rescheduled for October. At that visit, I was told the jacket would be ready in a few weeks, but again, no one reached out. In December--more than six months after ordering--I called once more and received a text saying they'd follow up with an estimated date. When I expressed frustration about the lengthy delay, they acknowledged that the initial order had been submitted late, which contradicted earlier explanations. To their credit, they took responsibility and offered a generous store credit, which was appreciated but not expected. The reason for my three-star rating isn't the final product, which was fine, but the lack of proactive communication. I had to repeatedly contact them just to understand what was happening with an order that had been paid for months earlier. Even my salesperson at Macy's is more proactive--and I don't spend thousands of dollars at a time there. My husband has had consistently positive experiences at Alan David, so I do believe my situation was an outlier and wouldn't discourage others from trying them. They ultimately handled the service recovery well; I only wish the issue had been acknowledged and addressed earlier. My hope is simply that their follow-up and order tracking become more reliable moving forward because otherwise, you might be left with the feeling that once you've paid, nobody really cares.

I had another great experience getting a custom double-breasted suit made here. I've worked with…read morethem before and I'm always impressed by the quality. The craftsmanship really stands out the stitching, the fit, and the overall finish are excellent. You can tell it's truly custom made. Gioia helped me this time and she is so lovely. She was very attentive and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. She made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Neal handled the measurements and was extremely thorough. I mentioned that I'm actively losing weight, and he made sure to take that into account so the suit would still fit well as my body changes. That level of care really stood out to me. Alan was also incredibly generous. I was able to use a store credit he had provided, and it was clear that he genuinely cares about his customers and wants to make sure everything goes well. That kind of service is rare these days. The Madison Avenue showroom is beautiful and the whole team makes you feel very welcome. I've had a really positive experience every time I've come here. If you're looking for a custom suit, jacket, or dress coat, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

I first visited CEGO in July based on its online reputation. Carl was friendly and seemed to know a…read morelot about shirts, and the workshop had an impressive array of fabrics. However, my positive experience came to an end as CEGO was repeatedly late by weeks on its promises, so that even three months after I made my deposit, I still did not have my first shirt. After each one of my three visits, spaced multiple weeks apart, CEGO was late on their estimate for that portion of the work. They never called me on their own with updates. I would call them a week or two after the originally estimated time of completion to check in, and it seemed to me that only then would they really attend to my work. In my last visit, Fernanda told me my shirt would be ready and mailed the next day. A week later, I still had received no shirt, so I called them and was told that it would be yet another week. At that point I realized that this pattern could go on forever if I allowed it to. I asked for a refund of my deposit, which Carl gave me on the same day. He apologized and said they had been overwhelmed with work. I accepted the apology and said I understood that these things happen. Still, my conscience wouldn't rest easy if I didn't write this review. I spent hours commuting to and from CEGO (I'm from out-of-town and went solely because of CEGO's positive online reputation) and wondering about my shirts. Three months after my deposit I still hadn't received my first shirt. I hope this review helps prospective customers and motivates CEGO to improve either their scheduling or their production capacity.

From the moment you step through the door, they make you feel special, guiding you through their extensive fabric selection and sharing their vast expertise.

Their dedication to helping you select the perfect fabrics and shirt attributes is unparalleled. Going anywhere else besides CEGO for custom shirts would be doing yourself a disservice.

He showed me lots of lovely vintage furs and I totally fell in love with my beautiful full swing mink coat. Gorgeous beyond words, I could not afford it, but Mr. Jeffrey allowed me to put the coat on layaway and I paid for it little by little until it was mine. For many years it kept me very warm during the cold northeast winters, but now times have changed and I feel it is time for someone else to enjoy this beautiful coat, and now the coat comes full circle back to Mr.Jeffrey. My decision to consign my coat with Mr. Jeffrey was an absolute no brainer. He has been selling furs for many years and knows his clients likes and dislikes. There is no such thing as high pressure selling at Ritz furs as they truly want you to love your fur coat and wear it for years. So yes that is me in the picture showing off the back of my beautiful coat. Mr. Jeffrey does not charge for taking photos.
