I was recently in wedding and the groom wanted to get his tuxedo (dinner jacket) from this…read moreparticular location. I can't rave enough about the overall experience. The apparel and designs are gorgeous, the tailoring is exceptional, and Ryan is an absolute pleasure to work with
For those who don't know, this is a smaller boutique with a large footprint. Mason & Sons/Anthony Sinclair is based out of London, and this is their only other location other than a small set up in Miami. They have outfitted many celebrities over the years, but one of their main claims to fame is that they outfitted Sean Connery for every suit he wore in the James Bond films. The Bond legacy can be seen in tasteful prints and accent pieces throughout the boutique
This location can easily be missed as it is actually a converted home in a residential area. Ryan and his wife live on the property, but the front room and fitting room have been converted into a shop/fitting area
As you walk in everything has its place and is tastefully put together. You will see garments, suits, accessories, but it's not packed with items. The entire layout feels classic, timeless, and is altogether appealing
You can either take an existing piece article, get fitted for it, and modify it. Or you can work with Ryan to customize your own vision. Everything from buttons the pleats (or not), tapering, texture, color, colors, and everything to fit your piece exactly the way you like
You will go in for a consultation, get fitted, have follow-ups etc. They walk you through the entire process in a way that's easy to digest. They do a great job of taking notes, communicating when your items are it, and scheduling you future visits. When all was said and done they pressed everything for us and it was incredibly painless... it was actually a lovely experience
Now, this suit dresser/shop fitted Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Steve McQueen, etc... it's not a budget shop. You will get quality items and quality service, but it won't be entirely inexpensive. But it will be what you want and it will last
Lastly, I will say that Ryan was an absolute pleasure. He was professional, dapper, and an incredible help. I never felt like he wasn't paying attention, or that he didn't understand the vision. He was on top of everything and he made the experience. I will also say that he was incredibly kind and easy to talk to during the downtime or while the groom was busy trying on garments in the fitting room
Some tips:
You will need to contact them directly to make a reservation. You will be the entire focus during your allotted time. No one else (strangers) distracting or busy shop attendants. This is your time to pursue, pick an item, try it on or something similar and schedule follow-ups
Take time to look over the styles of every modification. They have books, samples, examples on hand and in catalogs for you to get an idea of what you're looking at. They honestly want you to leave feeling like a million bucks... and looking it
They don't only do suits. They have everything you'll need for your next fancy outing or event
Cheers!
