After reading the reviews online and having a friend use Black Lapel for his suits and wedding tuxedo, I decided to give MTM a try for my big day. I had some apprehension about the process overall but it turned out to be a breeze. The custome...
r service was unbelievably helpful in helping me navigate through all the customization options (and it was really fun making the tuxedo my own) and the tuxedo came out AMAZING. It was the most important day of my life and I looked the best I have ever looked in formal wear- thanks Black Lapel!

I went to the New York location for a fitting and a few weeks later had a custom-tailored tuxedo that I wore for my wedding. I loved the alterations credit and used it to make a small change to the jacket. I’d highly recommended Black Lapel!

JG was an excellent consultant! He explained the latest trends in fit and cut and made great recommendations to make it truly a custom piece of clothing. I am very happy with black lapel and their services.

I knew that I wanted to go custom for my wedding and thought it would be cool to have my groomsmen and I coordinated. After running it by them we decided that was definitely the way to go. The next step was finding a good place to go. I dug...
around and read a bunch of reviews and consistently it seemed that Black Lapel was a cut above everyone else. The ordering process was seamless. Our coordinator was awesome and made sure our questions were answered and kept us on schedule to ensure the suits would be ready on time. They even reached out to a few of us (myself included) to double check some measurements that seemed a little off, which they were so crisis averted! My groomsmen loved the fact that they could customize some of the details (liner color, monogram, lapel details, etc) and that they weren't wasting money on some ill-fitting rental tux that has been worn 100 times. A few weeks later we each got our suits and were all blown away. You could definitely tell they were well made and they fit perfectly. All and all we were extremely happy with the whole process especially how the suits turned out! I absolutely recommend Black Lapel not only for a special occasion but any time you need a suit. Can't wait to put an order in for another one!

I first heard about Black Lapel while living in New York city through a friend. Having rented a suit as a groomsman the prior Summer, I knew that I wanted to allow my groomsmen the opportunity to buy (for just a bit more money). The team at Bla...
ck Lapel couldn't have been easier to work with. Those of us in NYC stopped by the showroom, while the others were measured from home. Each of the guys in my group looked sharp and were happy to have a nice fitting navy suit to add to their wardrobe. I also picked up a few shirts and its great that they now have my measurements for easy re-orders. All in all, a great experience.

Have now used Black Lapel twice for weddings. Once as a groomsman and then once as a groom. On both occasions, I felt that the investment in a custom suit really paid off vs. a rental option. The concierge was helpful throughout and the 10% dis...
count for group orders was a nice bonus. They were also pretty good at helping us manage the lead time so everyone get their suit in time. One piece of advice is to be very careful with the measuring so as to avoid the adjustment process (which they pay for). Overall, a very positive experience.

Black Lapel is a perfect resource for getting the groomsmen and groom to look sharp on the big day. If renting is going to cost at least a few hundred just for one day of an ill-fitting suit, why not spend a bit more to look amazing for the res...
t of your life! Since my groomsmen are coming from around the world, using Black Lapel was the best way to get everything coordinated, guarantee a perfect fit, and make a lasting investment. We went with the classic versatile charcoal gray suit, and it looked great. Black Lapel's customer service is terrific, and they were more than accommodating of any remakes/alterations. Anything that need to be altered to get the perfect individual fit, they covered with no hassles or hesitations. I couldn't recommend them more.

Reviewed On 4/15/2016 by Lindsay M
I considered various vendors for my wedding day tuxedo from off-the-rack suit companies, tuxedo rental companies to custom suit companies. After considering the cost and reviews, Black Lapel stood out as they were priced comparably, if not more...
favorably, than most off-the-rack suit companies but provided a customized/tailored finished product. Their stellar customer reviews combined with feedback from a friend who was also a satisfied customer solidified my decision to move forward with Black Lapel. I had my initial in-person consultation with Chris and he was extremely detailed with my measurements and provided great styling advice. I decided to go with the Black Custom Tuxedo with Peak Lapel and the White Solid Broadcloth Custom Tuxedo Shirt. My 5 groomsmen and father-in-law-to-be also ordered the same products. Throughout the process, Chris always answered my questions in a timely and professional manner and addressed any concerns I had to ensure everything went smoothly. What impressed me most about Black Lapel was that they were very accommodating with my timing needs and they really stick to their "flawless" fit promise. During my first suit/shirt try-on appointment with Black Lapel, Chris pointed out alteration needs which they took care of free of cost in a timely manner while other companies may not even point out these flaws or will try to convince you that the suit is fine as is. The tux and shirt fit like a glove and I cannot be more satisfied with the fabric quality and craftsmanship. I own other made-to-measure suits and the fit and quality of the Black Lapel tux was by far better. I felt extremely confident during my wedding day and I received non-stop compliments on my tuxedo. The only problem I have now is to figure out when I can wear it again. I am glad I chose Black Lapel as the clothier for my wedding day and I am grateful to have worked with Chris. As I have to wear suits for work everyday, I will definitely be ordering additional suits from Black Lapel!

We used Black Label for all of the suits for our wedding party this past August and we were thrilled with them. This was my first time getting a suit made and the process was very straight-forward. The hardest part of the process was getting ...
my groomsmen to take their measurements. Out of the 5 suits we ordered, only one of them needed any alterations when it arrived, and Black Label reimbursed us for that. With the 10% discount for ordering several suits it actually ended up being cheaper for us to buy suits then our friends spent to rent for their wedding. Overall great service and I will use them again when I need another suit.

Thank you for letting Black Lapel play such an important role in your big day! When it comes to wrangling up your groomsmen, sometimes it can be a little difficult to get those out of state guys to pick up a tape measure and record their meas...
urements. With that being said, we are currently working on a tool that can make this entire process a little easier for all clients going forward, so keep on the look out for some awesome new developments at Black Lapel! We completely agree that purchasing a made to measure suit for each groomsman is such a vital investment. Not only can he sport it at the office, but instead of repeatedly spending money on rented tuxedos as each member of your friend group gets hitched, your groomsman can wear the very same custom made garments and dress it up with some different fun accessories. Thanks again for the fantastic review and we hope that you enjoy everything that married life has to offer!

My groomsmen and I debated about going custom. Should we rent? Or should we go all out. After several discussions, we decided to check out a few custom suits spots and then I stumbled onto Black Lapel. I looked through their website and it ...
was easy to navigate. They had a good selection of suits to choose from and a few tuxedos as well. I emailed Black Lapel and Brianne got us an appointment for four guys to come in on short notice on a Saturday. After taking our measurements and creating accounts for us. We spoke with Derek. He was helpful. We walked around and at that moment I was still set on a midnight blue tuxedo, but then we saw "it." The one and only Rivington Dusk Blue suit. We all loved the color and the herringbone design. It was classy and the price was not all too bad. At that point, we also had not decide on going with a custom shirt, but this changes later on, as we decided on getting a white custom shirt at the second meeting. After asking the turn around time for the suit and leaving Black Lapel with a "We'll be back." We returned within two months and decided to go with the Rivington suit. Since we had five guys that needed to be suited up, we received the 10% wedding discount. I went with the 3 piece Rivington suit, while the rest of the guys went with the 2 piece. There was a slight issue in terms of the turn around time, due to the popularity of the suit, it took a bit longer. I did not mind, as long as it is ready by the wedding date, I am fine. Matthew and Chris helped us, Matt went through the ordering process for us and jotted down all the customizations that we agreed upon for the suit and the shirt. Lucky for us, Chris told us that the suit was available to be ordered once again a few days later. The order process was simple, and the suit arrived on time, actually I think it was early. The fitting process was a little tight (time wise). We had a month and change left until the wedding and a lot of their weekend slots were booked already, so we could not roll in as a large group like we previously did. Nonetheless, my best man and I picked a date and time so that we could go together during the week. Calvin was assisting me this time around at their new and larger location. I tried on the shirt and the suit and Calvin recommended things that I should tailor. I agreed with his suggestions and the turn around time for the tailor was slightly longer than usual. When I went to pick up my garments, there was a delay getting it back from the tailor. I did not catch the person's name, but he went and walked or ran to go pick it up for me and brought it back to the showroom.. within 15-20 minutes. Anyways, I tried the garments on a second time and it was perfect. My groomsmen all got their suits ready and in time for the wedding. We have been very impressed with Black Lapel. Their friendly service, attention to detail, quality and price was what set them apart and made them special. They have definitely gained five fans throughout this entire process. And as I've said it earlier. "We'll be back."

The suit was perfect. He just kept hearing the words "sharp" and "stylish" the whole night. My groom wanted something different and not so traditional. He went with the gray suit with purple window pane in three pieces. The guys in the New York...
office were great and had him measured impeccably. He needed absolutely no alterations and it fit him like a movie star on the red carpet. I love the additional detail he had put in of our wedding date on the inside of his jacket. This was a small splurge, but well worth it. When you think about how much a bridal gown costs, why shouldn't the groom be in something equally as astonishing? If you want to look like you're walking with the elite then consider this small splurge, you will thank me.
