I’m reluctant to rate Felix because he has been my secret for the better part of a decade, and I fear the day he gets too busy for me. I think other people feel the same but it’s criminal that he only has one review so here goes: I have worked with French and Italian bespoke ateliers, patternmakers for Fortune 500 fashion labels, and award winning designers. So when I bring Felix a job, it’s often more than a simple hem. And I usually know exactly how it should be done, so I can be extremely demanding. In short, I am the biggest pain in the ass ever as a customer. But Felix always gets it done. Quick, cheap, and most importantly, THERIGHTWAY. For those who don’t see a tailor often, there are plenty of areas where they can(and do) skimp to save time or money. That’s the difference between a suit from H&M and a suit from Savile Row. It’s the difference between the seamstress at the dry cleaner and Felix. Felix always does it the way that requires more skill, more effort. He’ll do everything from avant garde to trad, just be specific and even better bring pictures if you’re bad at articulating. Dont’ be afraid to ask questions if you’re not sure! Normal turnaround is a day or two, but there have been a few times where he saved me in a pinch. Once I had to attend an event for Elle magazine, and literally 30 minutes before it began I showed up at Felix’s door with a garbage bag of a suit. He did his thing, and for the rest of the night, most of my conversations revolved around inquiries about the«custom suit» I was wearing. The moral here — you can be a lazy, miserly, procrastinator and none will be the wiser so long as you know this man.

Felix is great — excellent work at an excellent price, and he gets it done fast. Just be sure to explain clearly what you want, as Felix, like all tailors, has his own taste and will default to that if you are not specific.
