| - On the hunt for what seemed like an impossible to find suit for our wedding, alas, we found it at Jacobi! My husband is not a tiny man, and the size he was looking for is not really common... plus he wanted to get married in an ivory (not common) color to top it off (but not too ivory that it looks yellow or cream but almost white)... Mission impossible? Not at Jacobi's.
Sure, they only had one or two styles, and their shirts were a bit cheap, and their tie styles/colors a bit funky and reminded me of something Borat would wear, but who cares, we found his suit... and got TWO different suit colors because there was a buy-two deal! We upgraded from the cheapest buy-two deal so it wasn't the cheapest we could find, but it was the only place we were able to find what we were looking for with our odd uncommon requests.
We were only in town for a few days so we needed to buy something off-the-rack AND get it tailored before we left. The seamstress stayed after hours and Jacobi was able to deliver before we left to travel back home however they hemmed the sleeves and pants a little too short. I told my husband "I dont think you're supposed to expose your wrists or ankles that much" but it was too late... the damage was done. And you couldn't really tell THAT much so we just had to deal with it.
My advice is to hem it a bit longer than they recommend, because the lady will take too much off anyway. Overall pleased with everything though because if it weren't for Jacobi, we wouldn't be able to find our impossible-to-find suit anywhere else. Trust us, we tried. Minus one star for the too-short hem job and funky patterned selection of ties and shirts.
