I have been a client of SEW’s since they opened a couple of years ago. It is by far the least pretentious bespoke store in the area. I get all of my shirts custom made here - Scott was most helpful at the beginning to get the fit perfect. It is always a pleasure to drop by, make an order and have a great glass of wine. I would recommend SEW to anyone that wants incredible custom clothing without the attitude.

SEW is by far the best clothing experience I have ever had.  I first met Scott 4 years ago when I was beginning a new career, and needed to vastly improve the quality of my business attire.

Since that time my relationship with SEW has expanded broadly into all areas of my wardrobe.  My relationship with Scott goes far beyond that of a tailor.  I consider him a consultant.  He is someone who takes the time to listen to your needs, and takes as much time is needed in order to get it right.  He has never tried to “sell” me on anything.  I am very picky about how my clothing fits, and how it looks.  He has spent the last 4 years fine tuning my items in order to make sure they are exactly what I want.

The bottom line is that when you spend a good deal of money for fine clothing, you are paying for the expertise and service as well as the product, and that is what distinguishes SEW from any other bespoke establishment I have patronized.  I refer SEW to everyone who is looking to take the next step in improving their attire, and would not think about ever going anywhere else.

This guy knows what he’s doing.  A lot of bespoke tailors treat you like you’re just their canvas.  Scott listens, he consults with you, doesn’t rush the process and the result is garments that really make you look your best.  I recommend him to all my friends.

I’ve only personally had two shirts made by Scott, but friends and co-workers have gotten full suits and blazers with nothing but praise. His work is timely, his eye is sharp, and above all else his products are expertly made. My two shirts fit perfectly, and even small details—like wearing a watch on my right hand—went into the measurements. His pricing is not for the faint of heart, but for a truly bespoke product like this the pricing shouldn’t be.

Just picked up a new blazer the other day. Scott worked with me to refine every small detail, even hunting around the city for the right color of buttons. In addition, he made changes to a Loro Piana Blazer he made for me 4 years ago, taking out some of the shoulder padding and re-calibrating the fit slightly. Overall, I’ve been very happy with his output for the past several years I’ve been a customer. I sent my friends here for their wedding suits, which is a pretty high compliment.

  I’ve had two items made by Scott at Sew: one was a blue navy blue blazer, and the other a grey, heavy wool jacket of a similar style.  
  
  I’m extremely happy with the following:
  
  1. The craft. Scott does full bespoke and doesn’t cut corners.
  
  2. The environment. The store is comfortable and has a very personal feel. Photos of his family tailoring garments in pre-war Europe line the walls and reinforce the interesting narrative.
  
  3. The service. I needed to have a few minor adjustments made after signing off on a garment and Scott did them with pleasure.
  
  All in all, I think this place will continue to succeed based on word-of-mouth. Selfishly, I don’t want it to expand too much because it feels like a nice neighborhood secret.
  
  All in all, I give SEW a strong recommendation.
