I'm a bit surprised by the negative reviews, I've had only positive experiences. Having bought…read moreshirts, sweaters, and sport coats from Andover Shop, all are of outstanding quality. Furthermore, I've always received highly knowledgeable, precise service. For example, one shirt I wanted to purchase was full cut and they advised me not to buy the item because the fit wasn't right. Few shops today are so high integrity, most prefer the quick sale. The prices are not that high when you factor in the quality of the items and the expected number of uses: the value proposition shouldn't be compared against fast fashion.

I was in the Andover store in August and found the quality of the shirts…read more not up to other high quality outlets such as David Donahue. I expect better cotton shirts to be thicker material and finely trimmed. Also while there I checked out the woolen material for suits - just not quality. I did buy a winter shirt on sale which was nice in fairness.

To my surprise, they said that they have an identical gown and a patch I was looking for! Instead of going through the trouble of making alterations, he said that he will charge me a small fee if I am open to swapping gowns instead, to which I agreed! That interaction really made my day because I was stressing at the idea of not being able to participate in festivities because my gown didn't reflect the right color scheme. I cannot recommend Keezer's enough for their outstanding service!

I don't know what I'd have done in lockdown without Ministry of Supply. We've been customers of…read moreMinistry of Supply for almost 10 years. They bring a high-tech lens to everything they do, and whenever they launch something new it always offers something innovative that no one else is doing. The clothes themselves can be washed and dried, and are comfortable enough for work-from-home wear but nice enough to wear to a real meeting (you know, when we have those again). Also, they can be washed and dried. Full stop. No "tumble dry low." No pilling or wrinkling or shrinking. But they also sell coats now, which are incredible - the Mercury jacket is heated and can be controlled by an app or by buttons within the jacket. The Great Auk is as warm as Canada Goose, with no down, and it's carbon neutral. They're also selling masks which are breathable and have filters.

I ordered a pair of Ministry of Supply pants in December and did not receive them until February,…read morewhich already felt like an excessively long wait for a roughly 200‑dollar pair of "business travel" pants. When they arrived, they were wrinkled out of the box and the cut below the knee was oddly baggy and flared. The hems were uneven and the sewing looked amateur, not what I expect at this price point. Although the pants technically "fit," they made me look frumpy below the knee and were not at the level of my usual professional wear. This did not improve with a trip to the dry cleaner and a pressed crease. The marketing that these are business attire you can travel in felt misleading, because the fabric wrinkled easily. The underlying issue was poor construction, not just temporary wrinkling. The most frustrating part was the return policy. By the time the delayed shipment arrived and I had a chance to assess the quality, the purchase was already outside their 30‑day return window, and customer service refused a return. In other words, the shipping delay effectively wiped out my ability to return a clearly unsatisfactory product. Given the combination of slow fulfillment, disappointing quality, and rigid handling of the return window, I would not purchase from Ministry of Supply again and would urge others to be very cautious about the quality and to watch the return timeline closely.
