Told him no problem, will come by on Thursday to pick it up as I needed the suit for Friday. No phone call or anything to confirm that it's done on Thursday. Dropped by the store at 530PM (assuming it was completed), and no one was there.... Avoid. As a customer, I should not have to followup with you to find out if the job is done. On top of this, to not be open during your posted business hours is extremely unprofessional. I will not be going back once I get the suit.

Not only a place for alterations but she is a woman who is an actual dressmaker/designer. I would not go anywhere else. It is a busy place - that's for sure - and that's because of the high quality offered there. Five-Star rating... Cheers, Louise

Really, as good as it gets by my limited experience. But... you will pay for it…read more I usually get my made-to-measure suits from Maxwell's. They run about $600 each. I have always been satisfied with Maxwell's, but I wanted to see the result of a true tailored suit, so off to Emil I went. It was one of those impulsive, you gotta get an amazing suit before you die kind of things, and the suit lives up to my expectations. It is the kind of garment that feels like you aren't wearing anything -- it is tailored that perfectly. My stunning 3 piece navy pinstripe suit from Emil ran $1250. He also allowed my to choose any tie in the store to go with my new suit, which amounted to a $150 Italian silk masterpiece. For me, at my stage it life, I will probably be going abck to Maxwell's, based solely on cost. But in the future, then the pocketbook allows, I will be back to add my my wardrobe. He truly is ``A man to know``.
