I ordered three shirts and got them on-time as promised. The problem was one of the shirts was not the color I ordered (I ordered a beige-yellowish color but got a white one). Overall I sent three emails to Mr. Kelly and got zero replies. I also called three times and finally as per Mr. Kelly suggestion sent the shirt back. The reply from Mr.Kelly (who is quite brush to the point of rudeness) was...

I had never bought a custom made suit before and Mr. Kelly let me feel comfortable and gave me good advice on my purchase and with how to look. (He also helped me with parking my car at a discount!) Everything was ready on time and when a shirt was done in the wrong fabric, a correct one was given to me at no cost.

Read More On Citysearch JonE 1/17/2010 - Don't know what you have until YOU'RE goneI bought two suits, a few shirts and three excellent ties from Mr. Kelly while I was in NY after business school. All fit perfect and his pricing was fair, much less than other tailors I'd found. At the time, I recommended him to a few of my peers, their experiences were similar.
After relocating to DC two years ago, I mistakenly tried to find a tailor in this area b/c I didn't want to have ...

I lost weight living abroad and my neighborhood London tailor wanted 57 british pounds to take my suit trousers in whereas on my next trip back to NYC Mr Kelly took care of it no charge. This is always the case tweaking my garments as needed. And like any relationship business the best customers do get taken care of - of cour...

Even my father and brothers always buy from him. You get a great quality suit made out of the finest fabrics for a reasonable price.

I purchased a Zegna 2-Button suit with 2 slits. I got a 3-Button suit with a single slit.
The service was horrible and I was treated terribly. Avoid!

I've been a customer of Mr. Kelly/La Rukico over the last year (a little longer). During that time I've made purchases for about 15 custom tailored shirts and 2 suits.
First I'll comment on the quality of work. Comparing to off-the-rack, and 3 other tailors I've used, Mr. Kelly's quality of work from Hong Kong is, for the most part, top-notch. Shirts have always been the exact detail seen in t...

Read More On Citysearch award777 9/9/2009 - Best tailor in NYCI've spent years buying suits at Barney's, Brooks Brothers and Neiman Marcus, having them tailored and always being disappointed. I will never do so again. For less money, Mr. Kelly provides finer materials and superior craftsmanship. The suits look and feel better than anything from Hickey Freeman, Purple Label or Armani. There truly is no substitute for a suit hand tailored for your body.

Mr Kelly stands by every single piece of clothing he sells. I have never had a problem getting an order corrected. I vehemently disagree with the guy who said that the customer is treated like a king until after the purchase. I'd actually argue it's the exact opposite. In fact, when Mr Kelly noticed that ...

Read More On Citysearch dmazz777 7/23/2009 - poor service, poor fitMy history with La Rukico is as follows. I bought two shirts from them about 2 years ago. At the time I received great service, the two owners of the shop I believe are father and son and were very friendly people. Once I got the shirts I noticed that they were of good quality (not extraordinary in anyway but acceptable) but that the neck was far too small. I could not even button the neck, n...

A month and $1,000 later I am the proud owner of two custom suits with my preferred details (working sleeve buttons, ticket pocket) worthy of Naples or Savile Row. These gents are a hoot too.

Read More On Citysearch KrisBort 4/8/2009 - The only custom tailor you will ever needI have been using Mr. Kelly for almost 10 years. There is no better. Mr. Kelly has a huge selection of fabrics to choose from for shirts and suits. The quality is unsurpased and Mr. Kelly stands behind all of his work. Everything is delivered on time. I have moved away from NYC and I still use Mr. Kelly because I have not found anyone that offers a better value.

He did the outfits for my entire wedding party and has supplied me with all my work clothing. I dont understand why anyone would buy nice clothing off the clothing-rack in NYC when you can get custom outfits and better prices and much better quality.

The fit was nothing like we discussed with the tailor. I asked for flat fronts, and I was given pleats. I asked for a plain hem and I was given cuffs. I asked for a very little shoulder padding and I was given bulky shoulder pads. I told the owner I was not happy with ...

Read More On Citysearch sunilmj 2/5/2007 - Great tailorBest tailor I have ever had. I brought a favorite shirt which had worn out and they created an exact copy using a lovely cotton fabric. They then copied a favorite business suit in a new fabric....and so on. Can perfectly copy an existing garment or create a new one beautifully. Extremely fine work. Easy to work with. Top recommendation (which I rarely give).
