Um, no. Got a gift certificate, so I had some slacks made. I knew something was up from the first visit -- very few measurements taken, and they were taken while I was fully clothed. This is made to measure, not custom. Expensive for what it is, and the workmanship is just fair. I'll wear these slacks, of course, but I would not patronize this place again. Other than the belt loops (integrated into the waistband, not just sewn on), I'd get just as good for a lot cheaper off the rack at, say, Brooks Brothers.

Always a perfect fit with Ernesto's I've been a satisfied customer for over 12 years. Ed and family work with you until everyone is perfectly satisfied. They'll even do custom touches and special requests like unusual linings or contrasting buttonhole thread. Have a favorite designer suit? They can duplicate it in fabrics from their extensive collection. Their shirts are beautiful, too. I'm ready for a new sport coat and I'm looking forward to the experience. Always a great value, especially when the suit or jacket becomes y... read more

excellence, attention to detail & customer service The Relationship I have with Ernesto's Custom Clothiers is more of a friendship.. that has developed over the years and lasted... been a friend and customer since 1984.. 27 years... -- We began with a few pairs of slacks and a suit for graduation -- and have transcended into suits/blazers/slacks and coats from some of the finest fabrics around and in the latest styles -- trendy and traditonal with a twist. Ernesto, Ed and Darren place a very high emphasis on excellence, cust... read more

You Have to Look Good to Feel Good! Ed, Darren and Mr. DeSumma have been tailoring my business and dress clothes for a decade to rave reviews from my customers, co-workers, family and friends. As a print professional for over 30 years, I need to look good to feel good when in front of prospects and clients. Ernesto's satisfies that requirement with a great selection of fabrics and styles, perfect tailoring and at a great value. When the directors of advertising and marketing at Bloomingdales and Saks 5th Ave make positive co... read more

Ernesto's is the best Everything was perfect from the initial contact through the first fitting to the pick up. Ed was the consumate pro and the fit and craftsmanship were second to none. I went for my wedding suit and could not be happier. This is not something I do on a regular basis and I was made to feel as welcome as an old friend.

First Class I have been a customer for over 5 years. I have purchased shirts, slacks, sports coats and suits. The clothing is first class. I receive many compliments for the fit and fabrics. Once I started buying my clothes from Ernesto, i have not shopped for dress clothes in a department or mens store since. There is no comparison. The service, fit and selection of fabrics are all outstanding. Darren and Edward do it right. They have great taste and have helped me to look my best. They stand behind their product should som... read more

No Comparison The full-service provided by Ernesto, Ed, and Darren is without compare. I have had them tailor suits from other manufacturers for me. They've rewoven a hole in a Glen Plaid suit jacket so it's indistinguishable. They've now made me shirts which are beyond compare. I've spent similar amounts on shirts from Banana Republic or BOSS before- never again. The Ernesto shirts blow designer shirts away. I recently was lucky enough to have them make a a beautiful Navy double-breasted suit. Wearing it now, I am beyond pl... read more

Ernesto's is Awesome! I have been going to Ernestos' for suits since 1987! I bought my first suit (out of college) at Boyd's and it was an absolute travesty...a friend referred me to Ernesto's and I have been going ever since! Every suit that Ernesto's has made has been a perfect fit and I look to the day when my 2 boys graduate from college and I take them to Ernesto's for their first set of suits. Ernesto did my first fitting back in 1987 and now his 2 sons Ed and Darren help me out - they are my age so I know I will be go... read more

The Best I have gone to Ernesto's for shirts for years and the selection and quality are absolutely phenominal. I recently hired them to make a custom suit for my wedding and it came out perfectly. The attention to detail and skill used to tailor the suit was obvious and I was completely satisfied. Guest after guest specifically complimented me on the suit and asked where it came from. I will continue to buy from Ernesto's and give them my strongest recommendation. A wonderful, family-run business.
