WANT TO LOOK LIKE A MILLION BUCKS....For a Little More Than A Grand?…read more My wife and I got to celebrate our daughter's wedding last month. After 28 years of marriage, I wanted to look sharp for the wedding. I knew I had to have a suit custom made. I have very large arms that don't fit into a standard 48 men's jacket, which means that if I look at off the rack, I have to go up to a 52, but then there is way too much fabric in the belly. After realizing I had to go custom, I had to figure out which company to choose. I chose Alan David and boy am I glad I did. Their website is great. I came in with a picture of what I was thinking of and they said they could make it. I wasn't fully convinced until I tried the suit on for the final fitting. They nailed it. Or should I say Neil "Neiled" it. Neil was my fitter and in his hands, I not only had 20+ years of experience of dressing men but really understanding how my body was going to work with the various styling details that had to be considered. The process took 6-8 weeks, from initially choosing the fabric (the quality of the fabric greatly exceeded my expectations -- not only from the small square of fabric that I chose it from but because I chose the basic fabric, I still can't figure out how they design and craft a custom suit with this quality of material). You choose the lining, the cuffs, the lapels, the buttons -- everything! Pockets, no pockets, etc. You come in for a second fitting where they get the details right. Try to bring the shoes and accoutrements you will wear with the tux so they can hem everything precisely. About three weeks later your suit is delivered. You come in, try it on. In general the fit is perfect but they can still make any adjustments you want. They press your suit and you are out the door, ready to party. It took my wife 40 different dresses to find the one she wanted. I just showed up to Alan David's very comfortable studio with my credit card. I have already recommended Alan David to my friends. Tell them Smokey Joe sent you. PS. My smart-aleck son in law saw the suit and said "I didn't know Daniel Craig was on the guest list."

*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 must admit I was quite nervous throughout the process. However, Sandy exceeded my expectations, and the gown fit perfectly.

I'm 5'1" and athletically built with high shoulders and few curves to speak of. Enter Bindle & Keep, which I heard about on the recommendation of a friend. I entered their artistically minimalist warehouse tailoring ship to meet my tailor. He was pleasant and conversational, giving me advice about fabrics - what colors work well during specific seasons or with which accessories and for which occasions. I came away with a Donegal Tweed style fabric in a light charcoal with little "pops" of color threaded through. This shop measures not only your basic chest-shoulders-inseam-waist. They also measure customers at different points in order to create a truly custom made product. The way in which this process is done is non-invasive and tasteful. In addition, although they tell you that it could take up to 12 weeks to create the suit, mine was ready in less than 8 weeks. The final product - a three-piece suit with a shirt - was ideal. And they keep your measurements in case you would like to purchase something else in the future. Although the final product is not cheap, my suit is of a high quality that I would expect from a bespoke shop. I give Bindle & Keep my highest recommendation.

After going to ten bridal stores I found my Mother of the Bride dress at Vesa. When I walked into…read morethe store I met Elsa who assisted me. I told her the color of the dress that I was looking for and she started pulling out gowns for me to try on and as she handed me one more gown she said "try this one on it just came in". As it turned out that gown became mine. I asked to have black crystal buttons sewn down the back. Elsa went shopping and texted me two different buttons asking which one I preferred. Her seamstress was amazing and the alterations were perfect. The store has a loft feeling, large windows that let in a lot of light and four racks of gowns that I had not seen anywhere else. Elsa also allowed me to take pictures of the gown, where other shop owners forbid it . That alone made me feel confident that she knows her business so well and puts her customers first . I had not experienced that level of comfort and caring in any of the other stores that I went to. Now you might ask how did I find out about Vesa? A coworker told me a friend of hers got her gown there. Brides and Mom's go to Vesa and check out their amazing selection and enjoy the wonderful customer service.
