| - One of my best friends is getting married, and instead of having us all in tuxedos, he optioned for slightly more stylish suits. Finding matching suits for three groomsmen and a best man who are all different sizes is tricky, so we went to Tom's because we knew we could get a deal on the suits, and they'd probably have a few that matched.
We were lucky, we got four of the same, and at a decent deal; About $180 a suit before alterations. These aren't incredible suits, but they look decent enough and the price was unbeatable. We all needed alterations.
We got marked up and left the suits with them for a month and a half.
Last week we picked up the suits, and in our hurry to get to the bachelor party that night didn't check the alterations very closely.
It wasn't until tonight that two of us tried our suits on again and realized that literally nothing had been done to them in the way of alterations. My pants are still covered in chalk marks, the shoulders are still an inch too broad on either side, and the waist could fit two of me. Were we stupid to wait so long? Absolutely. Should we have stuck up to the salesman who swindled us into buying suits that were too big? Definitely. But he told us he could fix it all with alterations, and we're young and gullible.
Bottom line, don't waste your time here. The quality of the suits are mostly rubbish, the salesmen are pushy, and don't care what fits as long as they make the sale, and the alterations didn't happen. At all. After a month and a half. We'll be taking the suits back tomorrow and asking for our money back on the alterations. We'll have to take them to a tailor in the city to fix their bullshit.
