Back to top ^ I arrived at the Alan David NYC office on 16 E 40th St., midtown Manhattan on Monday, July 1st, 2019. I still remember because Alan and I talked about our upcoming 4th of July holiday plans. The showroom is up on the 7th floor of a narrow Apartment style building. My first impression is that it was nothing fancy, just a modest-sized o...
Back to top ^ We sat down at a table full of open binders and swatch books. I immediately began flipping through the fabric swatches with excitement. There was something for every personal preference in those books. If you wanted something fine and thick like winter flannels or if you preferred something highly textured and light like linen, they h...

And many of them promise that their algorithms are 20% more accuratethan a professional tailor. I’ve had some hit and miss (mostly miss) experience with those. If you’ve ever gotten a made-to-measure (MTM) suit then you kn...
Back to top ^ On Monday, August 19th I received an email from Elsie informing me that my garment had arrived, a little over a month and a half after my initial visit to the showroom. I scheduled an appointment to come in on Monday, August 23rd. Upon arrival I was told that the fabrics I chose for the trousers were sold out which was a bit of a surp...
Back to top ^ About a month later on Monday, September 23rd I received another email from Elsie saying that my order had come in. The pants were ready and the jacket sleeve had been altered. I requested for them to ship the jacket and pants to my house.
