| - What better time to write a review than when you are sitting in the back because you came in a nervous wreck stressed out before a meeting thinking your jacket was wonky. Yep, that's me, stressed out of my wits convinced my jacket is off kilter like my mind, sitting here in the back without my pants! What better way to kill time than leave a review right? So here we go.. This is not the first time I've been here. I've been here almost once a week talking to Mark about something or the other getting to know him better because picking a tailor is an important decision. After half a dozen impromptu trips and several hours of talking about fabrics and cuts I decided to give the place a try.
Round 1: My first jacket I brought in was for an alteration. It was a long coat I had sentimental value for and having moved here from. Phoenix I had not worn it in over ten years. No change was needed but I did not know any better. Mark sent me back saying not to ruin a perfectly fitting jacket. I was impressed; I know a few folks would have just done whatever and took me to the cleaners since I wouldn't have known better.
Round 2 : Another gift, but this was definitely a poorly fitting jacket. I mean I could hide anothet human in there and there'd be room for more. Sure it's a little hyperbole, but you get the point. I really wish I took a before and after picture because he fixed it so well I would almost think it was made to measure. I, was very impressed and left speechless. As you can see I have no shortage of words and pretty much never do.
Round 3: Another 4 jackets needed minor/moderate alterations and not only were they done right but they were done right the first time and on time. In all fairness they were probably done ahead of time but let's not belabor the point.
Round 4: Ah today! I have a meeting in an hour and am close to a nervous wreck as I can be. I'm convinced one side of my suit is longer than the other. I text Anastasia who calms me down, (I was straight rambling) and accommodates my impromptu needs. Mark not only calms me down some more and points out I just needed the suit pressed but also notices my pants are a tad bit too long and gets them hemmed. Total time 15 minutes. Damn son, talk about doing right by your customers.
I still have a suit waiting to be stitched here and will update this then but Mark is the man. If you need a tailor who understands you, takes pride in your appearance as a testament of his work, will accommodate your requests and not hesitate to tell you when you are nuts this is the place to go. I have seen many a customer leave here happy as they can be. Most of them are just floored on what he creates for them, men and women alike. So Cleveland, here's your tailor if you need one. Going anywhere is just a damn shame.
