for Nicholas Joseph Custom Tailors
Matt R. Chicago, IL
“I got a great shirt from Nicholas Joseph Custom Tailors…I’m very pleased with the fabric – the feel, fit, and quality, and especially the pattern – good for a dress shirt or it will work well as a sport shirt.” (read full review)
Andy Gilchrist, Editor & Founder, AskAndyAboutClothes.com
“A+ for fit & style options. The Nicholas Joseph custom shirt fit great and they even offered contrast color buttonholes and button thread!”
James Bassil, Editor, AskMen.com
from Yelp.com “I am a former Tom James customer that switched to Nicholas Joseph a few years back. I have been a loyal client ever since. Nick and his staff are professional wardrobe consultants with the latest styles and designs. I love the quality and service. I can just call/e-mail and they know my size and specifications. Everything is custom made to fit me (shirts, suits, ties, etc.) and the prices are reasonable. I don’t have time to fly around to department stores and the like. Try this and you’ll be hooked. I’m telling you…the quality is outstanding.”
Sean M. Chicago, IL
from Yelp.com “I had an excellent experience with Nicolas Joseph. After trying off the rack suits for years and spending $150 to have them tailored, I decided to give NJ a try for my first bespoke suit.
I worked with Jodi to come up with some really cool details for my black suit, shirts and ties. I have a very difficult body type to fit, so I was a bit nervous as to how the items would fit. The first iteration of the suit and shirts was just about spot on for what I was looking for. The great part is that part of what you pay for includes a guarantee that the suit will be perfect for you. During my first fitting, we made a few adjustments to the jacket, pants and shirts. I even had a difficult time getting in to pick up the suit before a business trip and Jodi had it hand delivered to my building!
I can’t even begin to cover the amount of compliments I’ve received on my NJ clothing. I’m more than happy and will definitely be returning for more items.”
Jason A. Chicago, IL
from Yelp.com “Let’s get straight to the chase: because of Nicholas Joseph I will never buy another off-the-rack suit. My shoulders are wide and my arms are long, but my torso is short; these odd proportions make it hard to find jackets and shirts that fit right. It’s frustrating to try on jacket after jacket and find them too tight under the arms or too big in the waist. So when I was in the market for a suit for my wedding, I decided to go with something custom-tailored.
What better occasion to splurge for, right? The suit and two shirts I got fit better than anything else in my wardrobe. The best part about it all was that I didn’t have to break the bank to get clothes made just for me. Unless you’re going to go with a cheap suit, you’ll spend just as much at a department store, but without the quality and fit. The staff here are all friendly and professional, a completely classy operation. Thanks to the folks at Nicholas Joseph, proper fitting clothes have become my new addiction.”
Vincent C. Evanston, IL
from Yelp.com “I’ve worked with 3 custom tailors, now, and Nicholas Joseph is the best by far. Starting with their well-merchandised retail experience through to the great consultants, Jaclyn and Jodi to their master tailor on-site, you cannot go wrong. I work with Jaclyn and she has been great since day one. She is now starting to know my style preferences and my quirky requests like unstructured shoulders in my sportcoats and half-lining in my jackets, but that is what custom is all about. If you aren’t going to do it with a twist, why do it at all? I’ve so far had 3 sport coats and 6 shirts made and will be going for more, this week. May try for some sweaters and other details. Custom does not cost as much as you think, especially if you already buy at Nordstrom, Saks or Bloomingdales. Go for it, ask for Jaclyn.”
Paul M. Oak Park, IL
from Yelp.com “I honestly can’t say enough about these suits. I was married on recently on Windy City Live in Chicago and truly felt like a like a star with my wife. I’ve never had a Suit fit me this well, from the moment you put them on your confidence and sex appeal goes through the roof. Ask my wife! The service they provide both during and after your purchase also is just a good as the suits themselves. I highly recommend and will be going back myself! There should be a disclaimer before you put them on as you will cause several hearts to flutter! lol”
Sakou L. Hoffman Estates, IL
from Yelp.com “I’d highly recommend this as an option for any man looking to invest in custom clothing. Nick and Jodi have proved to be a great resource to capture the current trends along with timeless fashion advice. Additionally, I spent the time to shop around and their prices are incredible fair and competitive with regards to comparable quality on the market.
A+ Customer Service.”
Chris F. Chicago, IL
from Yelp.com “As someone who always has to have a little bit of work done here and there with every suit I buy, custom clothing wasn’t a hard sell. I always hesitated, thinking the investment was too high. Wrong. Enter Nicholas Joseph. Nick has absolutely amazing source material to work with, great wool you can wear all year, and his skills at making it fit like a glove are unmatched. Completely customizable and stunning suits. Give Nick a call”
Tony B. Chicago, IL
from Yelp.com “I went here in early 2009 after getting a gift cert for Christmas from my wife. I ended up getting a suit and three shirts. I’m 6’5″ and skinny, so I really can’t buy a suit off the rack that will fit me properly. The suit that I got fits me perfectly and I’ve worn it to several weddings and always get comments about how good it looks. And the shirts probably fit better than the suit. Again I have trouble buying off the rack, and these fit perfectly, very form fitting and exactly how I wanted them. The measurement process was very thorough and quick, and everything fit with minimal adjustments. The staff is very knowledgeable and professional. I’m very satisfied and will be going back.”
Kevin R. Chicago, IL
from Yelp.com “The service has been very accommodating to getting exactly what I wanted/visioned. any questions I had were promptly answered over email and phone. look forward to my next purchase”
Joshua H. Chicago, IL
from Yelp.com “I’m funny shaped. Okay, not really that funny shaped but, enough that typical, off the shelf American Style dress shirts don’t fit me real well so nearly a half dozen years ago, while living in Paris, I discovered Thomas Pink dress shirts. Taller collars, longer sleeves and tails and a slimmer cut overall to accommodate my somewhat a-typical shape. I tooled myself up with a dozen or so of these fantastic shirts and was happy as a [tall, thin] clam. That was when the Euro was at parity with the dollar and the pound exchange rate wasn’t as brutal as it has been recently….needless to say, when the time came to replace my aging fleet of shirts, I began exploring my options.
I tried other brands that were somewhat less pricey and was unhappy with the fit and finish then I found Nicolas Joseph one day while out walking my dogs and then was reminded by Thrillist or Daily Candy or one of those to give it a go.
They took the best attributes of my beloved Thomas Pink shirts and, hard to believe, improved upon them! And for slightly less on a per-shirt basis. I now am slowly replacing all my aged dress shirts with Nicolas Joseph shirts and absolutely LOVE THEM.
The price is right, compared to high end dress shirts that are not custom and the materials available are top notch. I’m going to dip my toe further into the custom-clothing pond and treat myself to a sport coat, very soon….and if that goes well, a suit is sure to follow.
Oh. And the staff is very cool, professional and doesn’t make the guy that can’t throw down for ten new shirts at a crack feel like a pauper….which is important to me. I like nice things, I can’t always afford to buy a lot of said nice things but, none-the-less…
Try it, you’ll like it.”

Adam F. Chicago, IL
“I received my first shirt from you today. I want you to know how much I love it. It is absolutely beautiful. It is better than I expected. It fit me perfectly and it was so comfortable to wear. I took it straight from the box, ironed it and wore it to my sister in law’s wedding tonight. I felt like a millionaire in it. I wore it with a brand new suit and I got about 10 compliments on my attire. I want to thank you for doing such a great job and I look forward to ordering at least 6 more this week. I also want to thank you for getting it to me so quickly. That was a nice surprise and I can’t believe I got it the same day as this wedding (so ironic). Anyway I can’t thank you enough and I am so happy I found you guys.”
