Alexander’s Custom Clothiers

I have been delaying writing Alex a review because there are so many reasons he’s the very best at what he does — listing his great qualities simply will not do him justice. Some people have already listed his impressive list of clients, others have noted his over-​the-​top level of customer service, attention to detail, professionalism and passion for his craft. Other notables include impeccable follow-​through, high trust and tastefully pushing my own conservative boundaries.
I have actually known Alex for over 10 years. I have never been his «Red Wings» level client, but he has always treated me as if I were his most important customer. He makes the industry he is in approachable and even fun. There is nobody I would rather buy a suit from. I live in Houston, Texas now — where there are plenty of custom clothiers. I have tested these other options with a custom shirt, but when I return to Michigan each year I stop by and see him (and usually buy a suit).
He is a great guy and he has my loyalty because of who he is as a person and all he does to win my business.

I am really picky with how my clothing fits. When it comes to professional/​work clothing and special occasion wear, a tailored-​to-​fit outfit is priceless. Having lived in LA and NYC I am used to having a large selection of talented tailors at different price points to suit my needs. When I first moved to MI I went to a place on beck & Pontiac trail because I didn’t know any better. She was nice enough and did the job but for a simple alteration of a dress she charged me $ 30! I figured MI prices must be higher than elsewhere. Alex was recommended to me by my Pilates instructor and I am so thankful. When I first saw his shop I had a feeling it would be on the costly end since its incredibly classy & tasteful inside. He does custom men’s suits and has an array of local celebrities that are his clients. He is always impeccably dressed, well groomed, very polite & well spoken, and very warm & personable. When I told him I wanted my dresses altered to be «Kim kardashian tight,» rather than laugh or chastise me like previous tailors have done, he made me feel at ease with no judgement. His work is amazing and he is such a perfectionist. When you come to pick up your clothing he has you try it on and if its not EXACTLY as desired he will rework it further. His prices are phenomenal for the quality of work & professionalism. I’ve been there over 4 times in the past month and he always has a steady flow of clients. Despite that, I’ve never had to wait and he gives you his personal attention without rushing you. I will never go to another tailor in the SE MI area!

High-​end professional tailoring. Alex is the only one I trust with a pair of $ 180 jeans… He has clients from the Red Wings and all over.
It is cozy inside and plenty of suits to look at! I am also impressed with the mens sweater secection. The dressing room doors are either cherry or mahagony. Either way, the environment is quite comfortable…
Alexander’s has quality work and is pretty prompt!
