Stuart Felman’s Custom Tailors

A week ago the sport coat and slacks that I ordered from Stu Felman arrived. THis was the second suit I have had made by him and his Hong Kong Tailors. I bought my first suit from him about 12 years ago, and I still get compliments on its fit and quality. The new suit came about 4 weeks after I had ordered it. I was concerned that it might now come in time fo the wedding I am attending, but the suit came with plenty of advanced time. A few days later Stu called to ask if I was satisfied with the purchase. I was. He made the process very easy, driving across LA to get to my home where he measured me and showed me sample fabrics and colors. The price of the suit was reasonable and the quality good. After much frustration looking for off the rack that fit, Stu Felman is a the way to go.

Stuart Feldman is the premier custom tailor for our time. I am not an «off the rack» size, and he fits me perfectly, with added needs I have such as fully satin lined pants, suspender buttons and more, at off-​the-​rack prices and at the highest quality. I’ve been getting all my suits and better business casual wear from him since the mid-​1980s. He has held the line on prices, too, working out of lower rent facilities, and TAS /​Homeland Security have slowed delivery by a week or two, but he is a treasure, a bargain, and I would never consider getting a suit made anywhere else.
A one-​of-​a-​kind true mensch, This a truly one of the West Side’s hidden treasures.
Call for latest location and appointment. Worth it completely!

I ordered shirts from Mr. Felman and they took a lengthy period of time to arrive. The fit was not what I expected it to be.
Stu Felman had the shirts altered for me and replaced half of them with new shirts which fit great.
I commend Stu for taking the time and effort to make sure I, the customer, was satisfied.

My husband works out exstensively and can not buy suits off the rack due to his physique (he is 44″ around his chest and 29″ around his waist). Any designer suit he has bought off the rack (Armani, etc.) has had to have A LOT of work done, and they still never fit right. He has already had 12 other custom tailored suits made aside from the 3 suits he just got from Stuart. However, none of them fit him as perfectly out of the box the way Stuart’s did. The other tailored suits look really good, but it took tons of fittings and refittings to get them right. Stuart came to my husband’s office just one time, measured him once, they picked the fabric, and when the suits arrived, they fit perfectly (just had to be pressed). He has never had this experience with any other tailor that he has tried in the past. Also, I don’t know exactly what it is, but these 3 suits he got from Stuart just look plain better than his other tailor made suits (more «GQ»).
Additionally, there was a slight defect in the fabric on one of the jackets that was barely noticeable. When my husband mentioned it to Stuart, he had a new jacket made for him right away. I would highly recommend Stuart, specially if you have a peculiar shaped body that prevents you from buying off the rack suits. Don’t worry about how long it takes, because when your suits do arrive, they will be perfect. I do admit that it did take a while for my husband to get his suits (hence the 4 stars instead of 5), but his patience was well rewarded and he will be ordering more suits from Stuart in the near future.

As a businesswoman and corporate salesperson, I am in need of classic business clothing, especially suits, for conferences and major presentations/​meetings. Friday casual barely cuts it here even on Friday.
I heard about this place from a male friend whose look I admired. Great timing. I had some suits custom made many years ago when I lived back east. I really liked custom because the off-​the-​rack suits are so poorly made and in such limited styles. The worst thing is to be in a meeting having to think how your outfit is performing, not worth the savings.
Stuart came to my office with sample suits, and plenty of sample fabrics. He helped me select fabrics and style for my height, weight and business. I am petite so his help and advise really makes a
was a consultation at no extra charge.
I was in no real hurry for the order and I knew that his workshop is in Hong Kong. But they came on time and Stuart brought them to me to try on. One minor adjustment was needed for one sleeve, and it was taken care of in a couple of days. Plus I am able to wear the jackets (which are beautiful) with other skirts.
This guy is wonderful and I know I have someone to count on for a great tailored look… priceless (actually reasonable).

After several bad experiences, I found Stu and he made doing business easy. He came to my location, he had many more material samples than I would have thought of. He showed samples of completed work including but not limited to the insides of the suit (which is what really makes the difference). I purchased the suits and within the time we agreed on, the suits arrived. Not only did they fit, after having them pressed, they looked great, and after several dry cleanings they still look great and fit.
If you want a really good suit that fits really good, you can’t go wrong with Stuart Felman.

After spending multiple weekends looking for good clothes (needing to ‘look the part’ at a brokerage firm) I had given up on finding anything decent. So I called Stu, among other tailors, after deciding to try custom.
Stu was great. Details of the transaction below, but personally, he was attentive and responsive, had great stories, and was fun to talk/​work with.
New to custom clothes, he really helped me focus on the important decisions and took care of the rest. Especially after reading the reviews here, I was a little uneasy. Stu provided references that spoke very highly of his work, and we moved forward.
After negotiating the price for three 150s/​6 shirts over the phone, he held the fitting at my apartment. He took my measurements, we talked about the suits I already owned (likes/​dislikes) and he showed me at least 1200 fabric choices at my price point. As far as price goes, and by comparison to his peers, you get so much more for your money.
He quoted me a delivery time of 8 – 10 weeks. He updated me on the progress about once a week, until the suits arrived after only 4.5 weeks. Stu brought them over, had me try them on, and no alterations were needed. My biggest fears — that my boss or family wouldn’t like them — were never realized; everybody has been stunned.
Bottom line: I wouldn’t hesitate to use to Stu again, or to refer others. Update to follow shirt delivery.

DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN! He is a LIAR and DISHONEST.
I had the unfortunate displeasure of ordering 2 suits from him 3 years ago. The terrible experience still makes me cringe. He originally said 6 – 8 weeks. 6 months later, still nothing. I called my CC company to reverse the charge. I did contact the local BBB to report his business. He challenged it. Guess what? The suits came in that week and they didn’t fit right. He supposedly gets his stuff made in HK. I’ve been to HK and Taiwan frequently. I can get a custom made suit made in 1 week there. I’ve since gone back to my NYC tailor when I fly back East to make my suits. At least I get great service with no lies, BS and dishonesty. Quite frankly, the reviewers who gave him 5 Stars, you are kidding, right?
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU TRUST THIS MAN. HE HAS NO BUSINESS ETHICS AND IS A LIAR. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!

Stuart Felman is a liar and should not be trusted.
Once upon a time, I ordered a suit from him. Off the rack suits don’t fit me very well and I wanted something nice. Stuart quoted me a fair price, helped me pick out a nice fabric, got my measurements and I wrote him a big check.
I was told I’d get the suit in something like six to nine weeks. That seemed like a long time, but fine. When I called after three months wondering what was going on, I was told there was a slight delay and I should get the suit soon. By the time six months had rolled around, I had gotten several b.s. responses to my calls from Stuart and still no suit. After nine months rolled around, I threatened to call the police /​city attorney and filed a complaint with the BBB. After eleven months, I finally got my suit.
Yes, it’s a nice suit and the price was fair, but the stress and bull shi$ I went through to get it was not worth the trouble. Moreover, the way in which this shady character conducts business made me want to wash my hands after every phone call.
I would never buy anything from this man again and caution anyone who is thinking of doing so.

Great selection, great service, great prices. Nothing fits or feels as good as a custom made suit and nothing compares to one made by Stuart.
I have had several suits and shirts made by Stuart over the years and am constantly amazed at the quality. Once you wear clothes made by him, you will scoff at anything off the rack. I have referred him to several people including my father and their reactions are the same.
He loves what he does and it shows by taking the time to measure you exactly and help you select the colors and fabrics that are right for you. And now that he offers in-​office /​home service, it crazy convenient.

After going through the ordeal of having a suit made here, I’d rather pay twice as much ANYWHERE else. I bought 1 suit and a few shirts for right around $ 1000 expecting satisfaction for that amount of money. Not the case. I was told it would be ready in 8 – 10 weeks. I never saw anything until 32 WEEKS LATER! It was one excuse after another, after another. There was a problem with the sleeves, problem with the factory, problem with the shipping, etc. Often I wouldn’t get a call back until I had called half a dozen times. You get the idea.
I finally got the suit (after a painful ordeal that would take too long to explain) and it didn’t even fit right. Apparently the boxy suit style is still considered the norm here. The pant legs were wider than raver pants & too short. The waist was too tight. The jacket fit like a poncho. When I took it in to get the «promised» follow-​up custom tailoring, he said to wear it like that for a month and see if I still wanted to get it altered. Really?!
So I ended up getting it tailored elsewhere and paying for it myself since every attempt to schedule an appointment to have it tailored with him never seemed to coincide with his schedule. I have a hard time living with the fact that I could have spent that same amount of money elsewhere and been completely satisfied. That purchases has been one of the greatest regrets of my life. I would NEVER advise anybody to spend their money here.
Oh, and as for the shirts, they fit nicely, but the buttons keep falling off.

My BF had a couple of suits made by Stuart last year. So when I decided I needed one I checked him out. I am so glad I didn’t go to a department store. The personal attention felt nostalgic, like the haberdashers of days gone by. Choosing from the selection of fabrics and colors was fun. I purchased a jacket, a blouse, two pairs of pants and a skirt. Awesome! And the price was more that fair, too. My items were, however, delayed a couple weeks from when originally promised. But Stuart kept in communication with me and made good by giving me two more blouses at no charge.
