Enzo Custom

4.9498 Google reviews

Enzo Custom's Philadelphia showroom is on the second floor at 1601 Walnut St. It makes custom suits and tuxedos by private appointment, with clothiers Nick and Long guiding each client, and its site says every order starts with measurements, posture and proportions. It's a made-to-measure maker rather than an alterations counter, though one reviewer mentions alterations and changes while working on a wedding suit.

What people praise

  • Reviewers repeatedly name Long and Nick as knowledgeable and patient
  • Several wedding clients describe an easy process that stayed within budget
  • One reviewer ordered two more suits after a wedding order
  • Open seven days a week, with evening hours

Worth knowing

  • It builds clothing to order, so it isn't the place for a quick hem
  • Appointments are private, so book ahead

How the scores work

Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, compared with the others on the page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people counts for more than a 5.0 from a smaller group. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What drives tailoring prices in Philadelphia

Alteration prices depend on the garment, the fabric and how much work the fit needs, and custom suits and tuxedos are priced by the maker. Ask for a quote before you leave a garment, and ask whether rush work costs extra, since one reviewer says Kim’s did not charge a rush fee.

Where to find them

These tailors are across the middle of the city: Walnut Street, Spruce Street, Sansom Street and North 15th Street, plus North Broad Street. If you’re searching for a tailor near me, each listing shows a phone number and directions.
