| - I recently had two suit jackets altered at Alberto & Pasquale and had a fantastic experience. I wanted the shoulders softened and taken in a bit on each jacket. I also wanted them to slim jacket sleeves with surgeon cuffs.
I had not used Alberto & Pasquale before this experience but have always heard that they are the best in the city. Even with the glowing recommendations, I was a little nervous as to how things would turn out. These are not the easiest alterations and I wondered if I should have tried them out with a basic request. However, the knowledge of the proprietor, John, gave me a ton of confidence in their abilities. He was extremely friendly and made some great recommendations so I decided to move forward.
I picked up may garments yesterday and am absolutely thrilled with how they turned out. The level of craftsmanship is superb, John's recommendations were spot on, and the fit was exactly what I was looking for. I'll certainly use them exclusively moving forward.
I also want to mention that Alberto & Pasquale does MTM garments and I am now in the process of having a sport coat and dress shirt made up. I've used other MTMs in the city, and have had good, but not great final results. So far, I've gone through the measuring process, fabric selection, and design at A&P and I must say that the experience at A&P is far more encompassing that my previous MTM experiences. The fabric selection isn't necessarily as large as others in the city, but the garment options and number of measurements are far superior to other offerings in the city.
John really knows his stuff and has great design ideas. I'd encourage anyone that is looking for something with a little more flare than "off the rack" to work with John and have something made up. The price point is in line with other MTMs and I am anxiously awaiting my finished garments. I'll be sure to follow up on the final fit after the items come in.
