Ben is the best! This was my first time getting fitted for a suit and I was looking for someone to get it done for me because I needed one for my wedding. Did my research, looked what companies were around in the Bay Area, and came across Ben. The most key thing that worked between us is that Ben will go to your house to fit you up AND he will deliver the suit to you as well. Other suit companies were consistently in SF, San Jose, etc. This was a problem for me because I'm from Vallejo and I didn't want to have to cross 2 bridges. I couldn't imagine planning a wedding and having to drive back and forth to get fitted for a suit with the consideration of my work schedule as well. But not only did his delivery system work perfect for me, he was overall just a super chill guy. Nothing awkward, it's just like I was talking to my close friends. He walked me through the whole process seamlessly and answered all my questions with reliable answers. He also gave me his best recommendations for certain details of my suit. I appreciate that. Prices were super solid for my budget too. Didn't have to break the bank and I still got top tier quality from my suit. My expectations were surely met. Thanks for everything Ben! Will for sure come back for another suit. (I'll upload some pics of my suit once our wedding day has been completed ) read more

Ben from Onyx Custom Suiting truly has a passion for quality work and customer happiness. We hired him to make a wedding suit and he came over in person to discuss what I wanted and educate us on color, materials, lighting, and fitting. Ben comes fully prepared with everything he needs to guide you through the process and understand what you can need. He was really fun to work with and genuinely wanted to ensure I would be happy wearing the suit. He also included my fiancé during the process so she could give input and support me on the decision (I don't usually wear suits). Additional appointments were made to once the suit and vest were ready for adjustments. I then picked it up later at his Berkeley when it was all done. I wore the suit for 2 wedding ceremonies and multiple photo shoots. This is one of the best purchases I've made and I would highly recommend Ben to anyone seeking a custom suit. Thank you Ben! read more

Benjamin felt like working with an old friend. I needed a suit for a big presentation in 11 days. Onyx pulled it off. Easy, concierge and hassle free experience. Loves how he comes to you and juggles everything behind the scene to make magic happen. read more

Had a great experience working with Benjamin from Onyx Custom Suiting. I loved my custom shirts and jacket so much that I went back for a coat and more shirts. He's responsive, makes great recommendations, and was able to turn around one of my orders on a tight schedule. Highly recommended! read more

To all the ladies who are looking for amazing, well-designed, custom suits: Benjamin is your guy! This was my first time going through getting a custom suit and Benjamin was very patient, thoughtful, and helpful during the entire process. I was nervous to work with a man in a male-dominant industry, but he was understanding and comfortable to be around. My finances were super tight during the entire time, but I needed a suit for my best friend's wedding coming up in May and we were able to agree on a timeline of when the suit would be finished and on payments that helped me tremendously! The quality of the suit is mind-blowing; I was speechless when I first tried it on. We are still making small adjustments but regardless, I have loved every step of the process! Thank you x100 Benjamin! read more

My experience with Onyx Custom Suiting was phenomenal. I would highly recommend Onyx Custom Suiting because their product is A1 from day 1. Also, another significant reason to get your suits there is that you get the opportunity to work with Benjamin. The initial meeting with Benjamin was smooth and with his guidance, you can be certain that you will be more than satisfied no matter which type of fabric or color scheme is chosen. Benjamin will give his expert opinion along the way so be assured that if something doesn't look quite right for that individual, he will let you know. When I first spoke to Benjamin, I already voiced the fact that my request may be a long shot and I would understand if it was not possible as my event was coming up so quickly. It was possible and I received my suit in time. Lastly, the suit itself came out better than I could have imagined. From my initials being present to details such as specific color schemes sprinkled throughout my entire suit, these suits are night and day compared to a certain warehouse I used to only frequent. I unequivocally plan on working with Onyx Custom Suiting and Benjamin again in the future. read more

Ben was great, believe the reviews! I was really happy with the way my suit turned out even though it was at a really short notice. I highly highly recommend him to anyone who wants a high-end suit and experience - he guided me through the decision process to make a suit that I'll wear for years to come! read more

Men's Wearhouse fail you before? SuitSupply seemingly not trying at all to figure something out for you? Every bespoke suit option you've looked into 2-3x outside your budget? Ben's your guy. He'll come to your house. He'll take his shoes off before you ask him to. Your dogs won't bark at him for some weird reason. He'll take his time with you or jam through it fast. He'll stay out of your preferences unless you ask for his professional opinion. He'll deliver when he says he will or sooner. He'll text you back quickly. And at the end of it all, everyone - everyone - will compliment your suit, and you won't need to spend $2500+. I was skeptical, I'll admit. But now I've got a friend in the custom suit business. Might never go to anyone else for similar needs in the future. read more

Here's the short version: Onyx is great, Ben is the man, I paid less than I expected to, and this is easily the best suit I've ever owned. Getting ready to go to a wedding for the first time since the pandemic, I realized every "nice" piece of clothing in my closet no longer fit (hell, half of it never did), and looked cheap. For the first time in ages, I wanted to impress. And I really meant to get out to a tailor with months to go before the wedding... but life kept getting in the way. Before I knew it, I had 3 weeks to go and no suit to wear. I found Onyx online, gave them a call, and had Ben out at my house the next night. He had no problem coming out after the kids were in bed, came with samples and photos ready to go, and helped me do the thing I hate most: shop for clothes. And honest to god, I had a good time doing it. Less than 2 weeks later, Ben was back with a custom made suit and shirt, and it's the best I've looked in ages--maybe ever. I feel good, I feel like me, I never once felt lost or in over my head, and I look awesome. Is it the most expensive thing in my closet? Yeah. Sure it is. But (A) it also looks and feels like it's worth every penny, and (B) it still didn't cost as much as I would have been charged by plenty of other places in Berkeley--and those guys wouldn't have been able to even make it in time! Calling Onyx was one of the best moves I've ever made when it comes to fashion. Ben was awesome to work with from that first phone call through the final fitting. I'm already wondering if maaaaybe I need one more suit in my arsenal. A guy's gotta be prepared, after all. read more

Ben is AMAZING! I lost my job due to COVID so my fiancé and I moved up our wedding by a year and cut the guest list from 200+ down to 30. I wanted him in a nice suit, but it was such a time crunch. In less than 3 weeks Ben helped us design a 3 piece suit for him and a matching vest for my dad. They looked phenomenal! We met with Ben to go over swatches and so he could get my husbands measurements. We gave him our budget and he helped us work within it. Come with a reasonable budget in mind, he is making high quality custom suits. He was super supportive through the whole process seeing our vision. My husband looked so good in his suit and my dads vest was perfect. The quality of everything was exceptional. A woman can only wear her wedding dress once. My husband will wear this suit so many times! Worth every penny! read more

Needed a suit for work and for weddings. Ben helped me design the best suit that will fit all my needs. He was able to bring it to me after only two weeks and the fit was perfect. It looks great and I will be working with Ben again. read more

Benjamin came highly recommended by friends of ours who were also getting married at the same time. We couldn't be more happy with his help and service. He made us feel comfortable immediately and we knew we had made the right choice in customizing a suit. He is a great communicator and once we scheduled an appointment - he made sure we had all of his attention and time. We already had an idea of the style and color scheme of the suit we wanted - and he made great suggestions and guided us towards the perfect one. He let us know all of the available ways to customize every part of the suit to the smallest detail. Once he took the measurements and order- he kept us updated on the progress and when the final product would be ready. He just dropped it off this past weekend and the suit is perfect. He comes with our highest recommendation. Thanks Benjamin- Mike & Andrea read more

This is the place to go for suits and shirts - I won't be looking at any other places from now on. Just got my first suit here - Ben is incredibly knowledgable about suiting - knows the history, the trends, fits, everything. The consultation was very thorough and friendly, Ben took the time to go through every detail and every measurement and get my sense of style. Anything I didn't know or had a question about, he patiently gave a background and showed different examples. The final product looked amazing and I've never had such a comfortable fit for nice clothes. read more

TL;DR Good suit, great service. First let's get some terminology out of the way. If you're looking for full bespoke, the kind you see in the movies where they're basically putting the suit together on you, this isn't that. This is more like made-to-measure. You'll get measured, then the suit will be made, then you get back a finished suit. There's no in-between fittings. If you're like me and you did your research, you'll know there's a good amount of choices out there for made-to-measure. What you're getting with Onyx is a good quality suit, but more importantly you get Ben. He's very dedicated and passionate about this business and goes to great lengths for his clients. If you're at all uncertain about suits and all the options that go into a custom one, Ben will take the time to guide you through the process. Tip: Go try out some off the rack suits somewhere to get a general idea of what color you want. You may have an idea of what color you want already, but you might be surprised when you actually try it against your skin. The fabric swatches Ben will show you are not large, so it really helps to already have a general idea of the color category you want. I ended up going with a really deep charcoal grey suit with a fine herringbone pattern. I also got a white dress shirt with purple contrast trim. Both turned out really well with incredible textures. The only issue I had was with the dress shirt cuff. I chose to go without my initials on the cuff, but the shirt was mistakenly made with them on there. Ben fixed this issue by getting a new cuff made, without the initials, and right now we are in the process of having the cuff swapped out at a tailor. There are two things I would change on the suit if I were to do it again: 1) The jacket collar doesn't quite fit as well as I would like. There is a small gap between the suit jacket collar and my dress shirt collar. It isn't big, but isn't perfect either. 2) I would inquire about getting higher arm holes on the suit jacket. I completely forgot to ask Ben about this during our measurement session. You can google what "higher arm hole" is, but basically the hole you put your arm through rides up closer to your armpit, versus lower down the side. I enjoy higher arm holes because they allow for better mobility when raising your arms. With normal arm holes, if you raise your arms up even close to parallel with the ground, the whole jacket raises too. The only downside I can think of with higher arm holes is that it might make putting the jacket on and taking it off a bit more difficult. As for logistics, the turnaround time was amazing. I needed this suit in September and I believe I procrastinated until about one month away from my event. Ben was able to see me quickly and I had the suit in my hands within 3 weeks. read more

This review is long overdue. Ben made my husband's suit for our wedding back in May. The level of service that he provided, from coming by our place to taking the time to explain the materials that will work well together, was nothing short of amazing. He cared about both my husband and my opinion and made sure we felt heard. It's not everyday you meet someone who cares about telling a story with every suit he makes, and then delivers with confidence and remarkable craftsmanship. My husband felt like a million bucks when he tried on his suit, and Ben even made custom ties for the groomsfolks. I'm so happy my husband found him and we were lucky enough to have come across Ben before our wedding. We cannot recommend him enough. Thank you so much! read more

Ben was soooo amazing!! Not only is the suit absolutely stunning, but he was the ONLY person able to get my fiance fitted his suit to him in less than a month with our short notice wedding! I am so floored! He is extremely professional and really knows what he's doing! I would never again recommend anywhere else if you're looking for a custom suit!! You will not be disappointed! read more

I was in need of a new suit to attend a wedding, and with a month to go I was on the fence between reaching out to Ben or getting an off the rack suit. I am SO glad I went with Ben. My experience with him was nothing short of amazing - the quality and fit of the suit is stunning, and his turnaround time of ~2 weeks was incredible. What impressed me more than the product was Ben himself. He was extremely patient, informative, and attentive when helping me find the look that I wanted, even though I spent nearly two hours mulling over and flip-flopping between choices. Whether it was color, sheen, style, material, etc, Ben really helped guide me to an informed decision. My experience with Ben was in stark contrast to a suit shop I visited, where they heard I would be attending a wedding, slapped a loose-fitting tux on me, and called it a day... (and quoted me $1000 for the outfit) All in all, I am just an incredibly happy customer! This was the first time I ever remember being excited to wear a suit and I'll definitely be going back to Ben for my next suit. read more

I can't say enough about Onyx and the owner, Ben! We wanted a custom suit for my fiance for the wedding, so we reached out to Ben. We were impressed from the start with his engagement and knowledge. He came to our house and spent several hours with us as we selected the material and features. His measurements were on point! We were so happy with the suit that we opted to get another jacket for the rehearsal dinner. We definitely plan to go to Ben with future needs - he now has a customer for life! Highly, highly recommend. You will not be disappointed!! read more

Onyx Custom Suiting - Perfect suit! - Bespoke Clothing Near Me - Berkeley , California

Five star service and an amazing custom suit is what you can expect from Benjamin and Onyx. From the start Benjamin was amazing to work with and was all about customer service. He came to my house for the fitting consultation after my kids were down, which was so helpful and convenient. During the consultation, he gave me advice on the suit with gentle suggestions, but let me and my wife make the ultimate calls, which was really appreciated. And the fitting was fun! Benjamin is easy going and easy to talk to. We also gave Benjamin less than two weeks to get the suit together, which we never thought he would be able to do. He did it. And the suit turned out amazing. I'm going back to him for my next suit or jacket, no questions asked. My wife plans on ordering something from him too because she loved the experience and suit so much. read more

I had an amazing experience with Ben at Onyx. I needed a suit for a wedding and wanted one I could for other occasions, and he worked with me to design and fit a beautiful combo. His ability to hear what one wants and gently guide one towards a successful result is impressive. I do not have the easiest physique to look good in a suit, yet I and others were very impressed with the results, something that would have been impossible if I picked one off the shelf. I can not recommend him more highly. read more

Ben, was such a delight to work with. I initially met him when he was looking to advertise on KRON4 during thr pandemic. Fast forward I shifted employment, and became in charge of the boss man's Christmas gift. We connected, he walked me through the process, and what to expect from the overall experience. My owner was absolutely thrilled about the final product. Ben got him out of his normal dark colors and recommended a nice gray shaded three piece suit. I would absolutely recommend Onyx Custom Suiting again. I am sure I will be reaching out again soon. Thank you again Ben for your great customer service, and quality work. read more

Ben is super professional, definitely knows how to bring many looks together. I will definitely be shopping with onyx custom suiting for many years to come. I'd recommend this business to anyone looking for a more refined timeless style to add to their wardrobe. Every purchase I've made personally has been waaaay better than anything I would find in anyone's department stores. Looking for a nice suit or a nice winter coat? Look no further. read more

My husband and I couldn't say better things about Ben and Onyx Custom Suiting! This was my husbands first custom suit experience and naturally we felt a bit nervous about the process. Ben walked us through everything and made an otherwise overwhelming experience something easy and fun!

I was in need of a custom suit for my reception with only 4 weeks left. Ben was able to turn around my suit in less than TWO weeks, while other suit vendors were quoting 4 weeks minimum. Price is also fair. Best part is Ben comes to you, listens to your suggestions and gives his thoughts too. Will definitely be going back to him in the future! read more

I wanted a purple suit. Nobody was selling purple fabric. I had a wedding to be a groom at and was getting nervous. I found Ben, and Ben had 5 different shades of purple fabrics. Ben made me a purple suit, and it looks amazing. Thanks Ben! Pretty great experience, good scheduling, good communication, and a great landing. read more

I was looking for a custom suit in the Fairfield area and had a tough time finding one. Went into Men's Warehouse and wasn't happy with the service so I walked out. I was lucky enough to find this place on Yelp. I had to drive a little to get to him but it was totally worth the drive! Ben is as professional as they come and is obviously an expert in his field. He really took the time to go through options with me and make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted! As someone who knows NOTHING about fashion, Ben was the perfect adviser for me and I ended up with a great suit! I would recommend Onxy Custom suiting to anyone even remotely in the area! read more

Ben did a fantastic job! I've never had any custom clothing made nor have I ever owned a suit. Ben did take time to make sure I knew how custom clothing works and all the decisions therein. I am a very tall guy with a joint disorder so clothes never fit ever. Ben made sure to take extra time to take the proper measurements and adjustments for my specific body type. The end result was and is beautiful. Ben is an amazing tailor and guide with patience and calm. Buy his suits! read more

Go with Onyx Custom Suiting. You'll get a great made-to-measure suit, and you'll get the top notch services of Ben. It doesn't get any easier. Ben comes to you, presents you with a wealth of options, guides you through your decision, and delivers the final result to you. I reached out to Ben in mid-January. During that call, he provided information on everything you'd want to know upfront: he explained his process, outlined an estimated cost, and provided an estimated timeline (both the cost and the timeline were pretty close to what they actually ended up being). We set up a time for the initial consultation for the next week, and initially, I was hesitant having him come over to my place because we live in a modest apartment with three pets (so there's fur everywhere), and because COVID, but he was completely accommodating. When all was said and done, I was 100% comfortable with how the whole process went. We had masks on most of the time since we were indoors, and he expertly worked around my 120 pound Alaskan Malamute (bonus: Ben's a great dog person, he has his own and knows how to handle being around curious doggos). I told Ben the general direction I wanted to go prior to the initial meeting, and he came ready with options. He walked me through fabric selection, showed me pictures of previous clients' results, took measurements, and the entire time was his naturally congenial self. The process was efficient but not rushed or sterile. He takes the time to get to know you, listens to what you're looking for, and helps you make informed choices to get the result you want. That first session was somewhere between an hour or two; I honestly don't remember exactly how long it took since the time flew by and it just felt like hanging out with an old friend. Two weeks later, the suit was ready. We ended up scheduling the second meeting for the following week since I wasn't in a rush. He swung by again to deliver the suit and to make sure it fit the way I wanted it to. And it absolutely did. I'm not the dressiest individual, and I hadn't considered myself a suit person before, but that's because I never had a suit that looked or felt this good on me. More importantly, the wife loves it. She repeatedly mentioned how good it looks, and it was great to do the whole process at home where I could easily get her input. From the colors, to the texture, to the fit, and all the details in between, the final result speaks for itself. Ben has honed his craft and his process to deliver not just a great suit, but also a unique experience. It's no surprise to me that he has all these great reviews. He listens to you and lets you know exactly where your decisions will take you; if you let him know what you want, you're going to like the result. He was also happy to spend the time answering questions I had about the entire outfit (not just the suit), and offering recommendations on things like shoes and belts. I will absolutely hit up Ben again for any future suiting needs. He's an expert in his craft, provides a fantastic curated experience, and delivers on the result. It's quality through and through. I have no hesitation recommending Ben to anyone looking for a suit. The process will be different and custom to different people, but the results are guaranteed to be great. read more

This was my first experience getting a custom suit and Ben made it easy, enjoyable, and ever so custom. I was able to choose every specific detail of the suit and shirt, which was a fun and exciting process. The final result was exactly what I wanted and fit perfectly. What's more, my (now) wife did not leave me at the altar when she saw me wearing it! Great quality suit for a great value. Ben's service is top notch. read more

Onyx Custom Suiting - Suit - Bespoke Clothing Near Me - Berkeley , California

Ben is super awesome. I needed some new dress shirts for work and he hooked me right up. I couldn't have asked for better service. He came right to my house, walked me through his fitting process and took all my measurements within an hour. His personal service is what sets him apart from the competition. He really cares about the fit and will make alterations to the products if necessary. I'll definitely be using Onyx in the future when it's time to make another purchase. read more

Benjamin did a great job helping us figure out what style and overall look we wanted for my husbands wedding suit. He worked with what little time we had before the big day.

Highly satisfied with my experience with Onyx. We were on the hunt for suits for my friend's backyard wedding, and Onyx was not only quick and consistent with communicating and prioritizing our styles and price points, but he was exceptionally knowledgeable in guiding us with the perfect fabrics and cuts suited for the occasion. They were responsive to our requests, on point with their timeliness, and made us the perfect power suit to wear for the wedding and a more casual easygoing suit to wear for the reception! And as the ultimate bonus, we got matching masks to each individual's suit linings. 10/10 and would highly recommend! read more

I highly recommend everyone to work with Ben! He went above and beyond for me and is extremely passionate about his work. He taught me that you don't need to break the bank for a great suit and he walks you through every single little detail along the way. read more

Sometimes people say that the suit makes the man. In this case, the man makes the suit. And that man is Ben. I was looking for a suit for my upcoming wedding and I was a concerned about going to a standard suit store, being pressured into buying something that I wasn't really enthusiastic about, and having the suit lay in the closet to collect dust and never be worn again. Ben completely blew that expectation out the window with his professionalism, attention to detail, and his availability that he ensures he provides for every single one of this customers. His services provides a comprehensive walkthrough of what a suit should look like with its components down to the very thread of fabric he is planning to use for your custom suit. He was patient and made sure that although he was suggesting what combinations of fabric and color would work, he made sure that the decisions that were made were choices that I was satisfied with. The fitting was quick and the whole procedure was relatively simple. This was also done at the comfort of my own home, a concept that most clothing stores should seriously consider adopting. The suit came back in a very reasonable time frame and I couldn't be happier with the final product. I intend to use this suit for future events as well and I won't hesitate to turn to him again for future services. Go with Ben. You won't regret it. read more
