Distante

Great Service! The best and most exclusive attire. They can do everything; bespoke, alterations, even in-​store shoe shine! Charlie (the owner) remembers everything about me even all of the various shirt patterns and blazers I’ve ordered over the years. I’ve tried other places like Boyds, Barton et al but they simply don’t hold a candle to the level of service and care that Charlie and his crew take to making you feel special. They also can do women’s attire!

Top notch customer service and tailoring. I found out about this place through a friend a few months ago, and now all of my friends go here because the work Charlie, Jackie, and the rest of the team do is amazing. I’ve gotten several suits and a tuxedo tailored here and every time they came out looking fantastic. One of the suits and the tuxedo were purchased from Distante and the quality is unparalleled. They won’t let you leave until you’re satisfied.
Yes, you can go to the dry cleaners in your neighborhood and maybe get the tailoring done cheaper. But it won’t be done nearly as well and it won’t fit like it should. Distante focuses on all of the little details that are often overlooked by cheaper, less skilled tailors. And let’s be honest, if the suit doesn’t fit right you shouldn’t put it on in the first place. Distante makes sure that you look and feel like a million bucks when you put the suit on. Worth every penny.

I’ve gotten a number of custom-​made shirts here at Distante and as far as the fit and number of options (mostly Italian fabrics), they get 5-​stars hands down. The service too is wonderful. It’ll be much better than what you’ll find at the pop-​up clothing stores like my. suit or indochino.
However, the reason I have to rate this at 4 out of 5 is because of price. Their shirts will cost around $ 300 each which the online startups thoroughly beat (they outsource their tailor work for shirts that will cost about $ 100 each). Obviously the quality and fit is guaranteed at Distante, but if you’re a price-​conscious shopper, you’ll have a tough time filling up your closet here.
Also, they messed up one of my orders — gave me a button cuff on a shirt instead of the French cuff I ordered — but I didn’t notice until I took it out of the bag a month later.
I can’t comment on their jackets or pants, as I’ve never gotten one made here.

I cannot speak for the clothes (though they do look great!) but the best shoe shine in all of Philadelphia is here. You have a pair of leather shoes in need of some love? Come here! He used to be around the corner and I’ve followed him. You should too!
