In Short
Proprietor Sonny Balani goes for an upscale and personal approach for custom-tailored men's clothes. Each order begins with a 45-minute personal design and style consultation. At the initial meeting, Balani takes 23 measurements and interviews customers about their body types, style and how they wear their clothing. Customers then go to a "style bar" where they can choose fabrics and view samples to get a better of what the finished product will look like.

I have had several experiences with several different tailors in getting custom clothes done. I decided to give Balani a try to make my tuxedo for my upcoming wedding. (I have a very broad back and shoulders and a hard to fit body) I was skeptical at first that I would find someone who could finally make me a suit that fits properly, yet with the extra details I like. Upon arriving, I was greeted warmly with Hello Mister..., I don't usually like to be called Mister, but man did it make me feel like a VIP walking into this place! The sales guy Joe, was unbelievable! He made the process so easy and within 15 minutes of meeting him and be educated on the process and details that go into making a suit (which no other tailor has ever taken the time to do), I knew this time around I would be very pleased with the outcome of the suit. So, to make a long story short, I received my suit and man, did it fit great! I actually thought it fit good enough for me to walk out wearing it, but again with Joe's attention to detail, he suggested a couple little touch-ups to make it perfect. My fiance was very excited about the tuxedo and thought I looked great in it. (I actually think I might have stolen the spotlight a little from her on our big day ;) Anyway, I would definitely recommend Balani to anyone, I don't think it would matter what type of body you have, they would be able to make you a suit that looks great! So if are looking for that personalized attention and great quality, give Joe or Balani a call. I know they have a long time customer in me!

I have always wanted a custom suit, but have been somewhat imtimidated by the process. I am so happy a friend told me about Balani. They make the process very enjoyable. The showroom was absolutley stunning! I felt like I was in the movies getting measured and picking out a suit. When it arrived, they made a few adjustments and it fit perfectly. I would recommend Balani to anyone.

In my job I wear a suit Monday through Friday, and for years I have purchased high end suits at department stores and I never will again! I never truly knew the differences from a store bought suit to a custom suit, and I tell you what, there is a huge difference! Not only does the suits fit me EXACTLY the way it is supposed to, but the options I was offered were as I said in my title... Remarkable! Balani' s atmosphere at their showroom makes it so easy and relaxing (not to mention a NON-aggressive sales approach) that I recommend it to any man who really appreciates quality and detail. Sonny and Joe will definitely take care you! Jay
