Reviews of Nicholas Joseph Custom Suits
Mike Farrell
I purchased a bespoke suit for my rehearsal dinner as well as a tuxedo for my wedding from Nicholas Joseph and Katie made the experience unbeatable the entire way. There were two separate instances where I had second thoughts in choosing material/colors and Katie could not have been more understanding and helpful. Katie's expertise makes the entire process convenient and efficient, but she was also extremely patient with the handful of decisions that I needed a little extra time with. I am extremely happy that I walked into Nicholas Joseph for my wedding attire and wouldn't change a single thing. Thanks, Katie!
Kevin Davis
Working with Katie was such a great experience from beginning to end! I was shopping around for a custom suit for my wedding and decided to book at appointment with her at Nicholas Joseph
Along with suggestions, she also offered style guides, and preferences without being pushy in the slightest. I went in thinking that I would need to sleep on the decision after the appointment, but I said yes right then and there. Every part of the suit was custom made to what I specifically wanted, and it looked incredible.
I would highly recommend designing a custom suit with Katie, and with Nicholas Joseph! Thank you again!
Nicholas Fendt
Katie was a dream to work with! Our experience with her started about 2 years ago as we started to figure out what we could do and set a budget. Then we came back when Katie recommended to pick final suit fabrics, stitching, buttons and details to include custom dress shirts and ties. She was so patient and supportive during this design process. Our fittings and tailoring was also a simple and fantastic experience. We had nothing less of stellar experiences with Katie and would recommend her to anyone looking for a stunning suit. She made our Wedding something to remember forever! Thank you Katie and your team! Nicholas & Kraig
Sylvester Brown
Finding Nicholas Joseph was the best thing to happen to my husband and me. Prior to finding Nicholas Joseph, we went to a couple places in Milwaukee and even met a different designer in-person. None of them had the excitement or want to assist with the designing of our outfits. We eventually met Amalia, our sales designer, with Nicholas Joseph. Immediately, we were sold. She helped us with everything from building our outfits, accessorizing and coordinating virtual fittings for our grooms people who lived out-of-state.
The amount of comments we got on our outfits during the wedding and from the photographer was everything. We were also asked last week to be in an issue of Wisconsin Bridal magazine in our custom made outfits. Our photo shoot is in January!
Thank you for everything! Never lose Amalia. I will be revamping my professional attire and see you all again!
Mitch Morrison
If you're considering a custom tux/suit for your wedding or special event, you're in the the right hands with Nicholas Joseph. Jodi was so helpful from the beginning and made sure everything was perfect for the big day.
There's absolutely a noticeable difference between an of-the-rack suit compared to a custom fit suit from Nicholas Joseph. Fantastic quality and fit.
Could not recommend any higher.
Zuri Thompson
Worth every penny. I bought a custom suit as a gift to my partner and I am 100% satisfied. The styling experience with Katie was wonderful and the final product is 🔥🔥🔥 FIRE! …
Riese Narcisse
If you are getting a custom suit for a special event Nicholas Joseph is definitely the place to go! Ask for Katie Ally, she was fantastic when it came to me figuring out what to wear on my wedding day. What I like most about her consultation is her honest opinion on what she thought looked good on me rather than just agreeing to anything I say blindly. She would listen to what I said I liked and then offered her feedback as well which REALLY helped me out a lot. All of the choices can be overwhelming but she made the process of picking a custom suit so easy. I got so many compliments on my suit on my wedding day. Thank you so much Katie!
Giancarlo Segreti
My fiance and I both got custom suits for our wedding and we would not recommend any other business for any occasion! Katie was our stylist and she was INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about what fabrics and styles would work best for us to meet our specific wants, body types, and preferences. Every step of the custom suit process felt curated specifically for us, and was SO much fun. The suits themselves turned out even better than we could have imagined. You really don't know the feeling of wearing a suit made specifically for you, until you do.. No detail was overlooked (think monogrammed shirt cuffs, custom jacket liners, and accent stitching we'd never even think of), and we only have Katie to thank for that! We are getting married next month and are so excited to show off our custom suits to our family and friends. I will definitely be back soon to buy another suit for more casual occasions. THANK YOU KATIE!!
Thomas Swaney
The whole experience I had at Nicholas Joseph was first rate. I was immediately greeted by Katie who was knowledgeable about the styles and fabrics as well as how that intersected with my budget. The custom fit and finish of my suits (3) and shirts (10) is impressive. Katie suggested great styles that fit my body type and desire for a traditional but more modern look.
I would recommend that anyone consider NJ for their custom suits and shirts - and particularly Katie who was great during the entire custom suit process.
Taylor Atkins
My partner and I both went to Nicholas Joseph for our custom suits and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish! We worked with Amalia on our suits and she has such a knack for creative design and style. My dark green suit is easily the best suit I’ve ever had. Even now a couple months after our wedding, we are still getting compliments on how incredible our suits looked. Will definitely be going back here in the future!
William Nudera
I recently had my first experience with a custom clothing. I found Katie with Nicholas Joseph and made an appointment. I didn't quite know what to expect; the options were endless. Katie listened to my needs and guided me in the right direction with respect to styles and fabrics. She was very knowledgable and walked me through the seamless process. Wearing my new cloths made me feel great. I felt so much more comfortable and confident in cloths that actually fit me! I am looking forward to building my new wardrobe. Thanks Katie!
Ryan Liebling
Jodi has helped me look better for a long time, generally with custom suits & sport coats for work. She recently helped with a custom suit for my wedding (she also helped my father-in-law with his), which was truly an amazing experience! Jodi makes the entire experience, from choosing the style, to the button thread colors, to the fittings, a really fun and enjoyable time. I trust her recommendations (and so does my wife), and the results speak for themselves.
Alexander Kozich
Jodi made my first custom clothing experience as easy as could be. I wanted a custom tuxedo for my upcoming wedding and after some research decided on Nicholas Joseph. Even coming from out of the Chicago area, Jodi worked with me to schedule appointments around when I was in town and helped me design my perfect wedding Tuxedo. The measurement process was so easy and thorough that in the end I did not need a single adjustment after it was made. I highly recommend Nicholas Joseph and Jodi, specifically, for all your custom clothing needs.
Rafi Zimmerman
Jodi's expertise in fabric type, and correct cut were stunning. My suit and shirts came out perfectly fit and I will not be able to buy regular clothes again. The quality of the material Jodi recommended was superb. I've already recommended her and Nicholas Joseph to any friends that have been looking to update their wardrobe
Beniamin Avram
The best custom suit shop in Chicago, by far. Only the finest fabric selection, style options, and tailoring. If you want to make the choices even easier, just ask for Amalia.
Carol Valko
My husband recently had a custom suit made from Nicholas Joseph. They give so much attention to all the details to make sure the fit is exact. Amalia is knowledgeable on every aspect of the suit, from the Italian fabric to the type and color of the buttons used. No detail is overlooked. Amalia and her team are professional and attentive throughout the whole process, and a pleasure to work with. The high quality and fit of the suit can’t be beat. I highly recommend Nicholas Joseph. Gerry, aka, Bass Master and I thank you.
Arthur Bidwill
Katie helped me pick out a custom tux for my wedding and it could not have been a better experience! I had done a fair amount of research on the other stores in Chicago and this one stood out for quality and price. Have already recommended to several friends for their weddings as the customer service made the whole process easy and approachable. Thanks so much Katie!
Stephen Burns
Amalia was awesome! She walked me walked me through the entire process with perfect expectations. She was super knowledgeable on all the fabrics, especially the Italian fabrics. I started with a tux and it was an absolute perfect fit. Next I did 2 suites and some sport coats. Again amazing, one needed a small adjustment, the adjustment was made in a few days and Fed-x to my home. I recently added 5 custom shirts that are amazingly comfortable and obviously fit perfectly. I continue to get compliments regularly. Next purchase will be casualware
Tyler Webb
Amalia was awesome! I needed a suit for my wedding and wasn't finding anything I liked at any of the department stores, so I went to Nicholas Joseph for a consultation. Even though I had never been fit for a full custom suit before, Amalia made the process super easy and everything turned out great. I will definitely be returning to Nicholas Joseph next time I am in need of a suit or specialty clothing. Thanks again!
Simon Sanchez
If you don’t like the way you look in suits. Get a custom suit. I was against it at first because of price, but honestly it is worth it.
When you get over the hurdle of agreeing to going custom. Finding that place that can execute your look goal is also a task within itself. I’ve looked into quite a few places, either I did not like their selections or I did not like the stylist.
Nicholas Joseph Custom Suit is a must-stop shop to check out. I had the pleasure to work with Amalia Mladin.
Amalia has superb attention to detail & nailed the look I was going for with the help of her suggestions. I honestly do not believe I would’ve been able to achieve my custom suit look without her inputs. Almost everything was custom down to the button.
The suit fit was fantastic. It is the first/only suit I genuinely loved the way I looked from top to bottom. Can’t say enough how grateful I am to be assigned to Amalia. She knows her stuff & knows the materials well too. I received countless compliments on how phenomenal my suit looked.
Must I say more, come here for your customs suits. They also have custom business casual looks if your interested as well.
I did not work with other stylists and this may come off bias, if you do come here ask for Amalia. I’m sure the other stylist would have done a great job too. However Amalia is the real deal.
Thank you again.
Nate Olson
Amalia worked with my father and I to get us both custom suits for my wedding. She did an excellent job listening to our needs and providing options for our budget. I never felt I was being upsold or pressured into anything which was something I really appreciated. Having never purchased custom clothing, I was astounded by how good it felt to put a custom shirt and 3-piece suit. Though my suit was for a special occasion, I know I'll be back to get additional custom-made clothing for work and more.
Danny Carlson
From start to finish the customer experience at Nicholas Joseph was one of the best experiences I have ever had. From start to finish my consultant Jodi Leahy was professional and extremely knowledgeable. She took the time to walk me through every decision on every piece of the suits and shirts. When the first suit arrived I was blown away by the initial fit and would have been perfectly fine walking out with it then and there but Jodi took the time to ensure that everything was perfect down to the sixteenth of an inch. I have received nothing but compliments since my suits and shirts came in. Nicholas Joseph has gone above and beyond earning a repeat customer!
Rich
Purchased a wedding tuxedo, shirts and accessories for my wedding. Had an excellent time working with Amalia. Great customer service and attention to detail all the way through. Would highly recommend.
Alex Yu
I had the pleasure of being assisted by Martin and he was simultaneously efficient with the fitting process and luxurious/ leisurely with the details and pacing of the experience.
My custom shirts arrived in a reasonable time frame without need for adjustments and ready for wear, but I appreciated the hands on attention provided in the followup fitting.
I have already advised that others head their way for something bespoke; there are few things as comparably satisfying as going through the day confident that nothing can fit you better than the garments Martin designed just for you.
Knowing that they'll make adjustments in the future for growth or slimming gives me a sense of security as well!
Daniel Joseph
I had Nicholas Joseph make a custom tuxedo jacket for my wedding. I couldn't have been happier or more satisfied with the outcome. Katie Ally helped me select the fabrics, explained all my options, and fitted me. I was exceptionally satisfied with how well it fit as I often have trouble finding items to fit my body type (5ft 8 and close to a 44 inch chest measurement). The jacket felt very luxurious. I am hoping to have Nicolas Joseph make a custom suit for me next year.
Patrick Dykstra
Martin was extremely helpful guiding me through the process of creating a custom suit for my wedding. His knowledge about Italian fabrics and attention to detail was impeccable. The custom suit fits amazingly and the materials are extremely comfortable. There is no individual I would trust more to help me through this process and I will continue to work with Martin on all future projects!
Joey T
Katie was absolutely awesome to work with and helped me design an amazing suit for my upcoming wedding. Everything about the process was straight forward and the suit and shirts were fitted and retailored upon each visit. I will be coming back for more suits and I highly recommend you check them out!
Jack Vitanovec
Katie Ally with Nicolas Joseph helped me choose/customize/tailor a custom tuxedo for my wedding as well as a suit for related events. I’ve never bought a tuxedo before and our first appointment was about an hour walking through all the different choices that I had to make to customize a tux that I wanted! It was very helpful. My fiancé came to one appointment and Katie also made her feel very welcomed and involved. I love my tux and am very happy that our wedding planner recommended Nicolas Joseph!
Aaron Davis
Wish I could give Nicholas Joseph and Jodi 6 stars!
I initially came in for a custom tuxedo for my wedding and ended up getting the tux and a custom suit.
Jodi is extremely knowledgeable, patient and helpful throughout the entire process. Both the suit and tuxedo look incredible and will definitely turn heads. The fit is absolutely perfect and Jodi did a great job with the measurements.
I cant recommend Jodi and Nicholas Joseph enough for anyone looking to make a statement at any event.
Shaun Frederick
Nicholas Joseph is the place for your custom clothing needs. I worked with Jodi over the course of a few months to design a tuxedo for my wedding day and I couldn't be more pleased. From our first meeting to our last fitting I always felt like I was in good hands with professionals who could produce a one of a kind product. Jodi's knowledge, experience, and overall professional skillset made me excited to come back every time and I look forward to being a returning customer soon.
Elbert Han
Jodi helped me design my wedding suit and she did an awesome job helping me pick out the design details and the fabrics. She did great with the fitting and the suit looked and felt great! Highly recommend for anyone looking to splurge and create a custom suit for a special occasion!
Jack Coakley
An absolutely killer experience! Martin was both kind and knowledgeable in the process of creating a suit for my wedding! At times I felt like he was reading my mind when it came to the fabric selections. The end product was stunning and I will certainly return next time I need a suit for a big event!
Manal Patel
I went in looking for the Tuxedo for my Wedding Reception and was very, very happy with the entire process!
I worked with Katie and her knowledge on every aspect of the process (fabric, lapels, liner, shoes) really helped me out. The whole process was compeltly seamless and the outfit is fantastic.
I cannot recommend Nicholas Joesph Custom Suits more highly and next time I need to purchase a suit I will 100% be coming back to them!
Michael Wemple
I was extremely pleased with my first experience at Nicholas Joseph. Amalia was very knowledgable and made great suggestions regarding fabric patterns, color and style. The measurements she took were spot-on and thus the suits I purchased were a perfect fit. On-time delivery expectations were also met. I would definitely recommend Nicholas Joseph and specifically Amalia to anyone looking to purchase a custom suit.
Jason Fitterer
Everything about my experience at Nicholas Joseph exceeded my expectations. Jodi was incredibly knowledgeable, and put me at ease throughout the whole process, which I definitely appreciated as a first-timer getting custom suits! I've already recommended them to friends, and will continue to do so. I couldn't be happier with the fit of my suits and shirts, and I look forward to getting more from here in the future!
John Bonner
I went to Nicholas Joseph to get a suit made for my wedding. Amalia could not have been more helpful, she provided insightful help on selecting fabrics and patterns. The fit and quality of the suit and custom shirts are well beyond anything I have ever owned. I will absolutely use them in the future when I need a suit or shirt.
Boggers Solutions
Martin's has amazing knowledge and expertise on the Italian fabrics. He really helped my son with styling and showing him how to go from black tie to casual with his suit. He gave us great customer service, Martin made the experience seemless and easy and joy for my son for his very first custom suit. We will definitely use him for all of my son's custom clothes. He helped style him perfectly for his wedding day.
Ryan Murphy (US)
Katie has always been incredible in helping me find what looks good on me and taking the work out of it for me. I've always appreciated the fantastic custom fitting clothes. She gets extra credit as I usually call her 3 weeks before I need something but she always finds a way to take care of me.
C M
Katie has helped with my tailored shirts and suits for years. The quality of the tailoring is top notch, her service & communication impeccable, and the clothes last for years. If you have a slightly unique body type and need something that fits perfectly, ask for Katie!
Jason Knight
I had an excellent experience getting my suits made with Nicholas Joseph. I came in from Iowa and Martin was very accomodating with the scheduling, and had excellent advice for helping me choose garments which feel and look great!
Ryan S. Marks
Jodi is great. She made sure that I was happy with my shirts and was patient with my questions. She understood the way that I needed my shirts to function and made sure I got what I needed. I have now ordered some pants and a suit and will continue my business with her based on how she handled the shirts. I love the shirts too.
Salvatore LaBarbera
Katie helped me with a custom tuxedo and dinner jacket for my wedding day. From start to finish, she was insightful, accommodating, and friendly. Both pieces turned out amazing. Would highly recommend for custom clothing.
Andrew Regnery
Amalia helped me build my wedding tuxedo, a smoking jack and a sport coat and every one of them was perfect. They fit like a glove and I have gotten so many compliments on them! Would recommend to anyone wanting to look great for their special day!
Steve Tooker
Jodi and the team are all outstanding - worked with me collaboratively to design my new suit, taking the time to consider color and fabric options and discuss style and fit. The suit was extremely well made and perfectly on time for the wedding I was planning to wear it to, and overall an entirely 5* service that I would heartily recommend.
Steven Martinez
Absolutely excellent experience. My stylist Amalia was wonderful to work with, and I ended up with a truly breathtaking tuxedo to wear for my wedding. Would absolutely go back for any custom clothing needs in the future!
Ben
Jodi put together suits for me and my entire wedding party. It was no small feat wrangling all these cats but she did it with ease and showed us a great time in the process. Great suits. Highly recommended.
Ethan Gonzalez
Katie was exceptionally helpful from start to finish. As someone who has never bought a suit before, she throughly explained the process and provided much needed insight. With her help, I know I’m going to look great for my wedding!
Chris H
Amalia is detail oriented and professional. Through her range of knowledge and expertise we were able to select the perfect fabric and fit for my custom clothing. Her recommendations and guidance perfectly aligned to my best interest and style
Courtney McEnery
Katie was extremely helpful in ordering a custom tux and sports jacket for my fiancé for our upcoming wedding. The tux is absolutely beautiful. We loved and appreciated Katie's style advice. Katie was also very accommodating fitting us in for my fiancé's fittings. I would highly recommend Nicholas Joseph and Katie for a custom suit or tux for a special occasion!
George mardini
Katie was amazing. It was truly a one stop shop experience. She walked me through the entire process. I ended up spending more than I had planned for a suit jacket, but was very happy with the end result.
Steve Borgens
Wow, Jodi is awesome! Her knowledge and eye to detail really made this an exceptional experience with getting a custom suit. No matter the body type, or personal style, she will put it together so when you walk out, you will feel amazing. Trust me, I never leave a review but Jodi deserves credit on this one!
Thank you Jodi!
Chris Broz
Nicholas Joseph is a great place for custom suits and attire. I found them on google and cannot be happier with my new suit. Katie, our consultant, was fantastic and made the process very easy and fun. I would recommend Nicholas Joseph to anyone looking for a custom suit.
Chane Donnelly
Martin helped with my custom suit for wedding. He was very knowledgeable in Italian fabrics which helped me build my ideal suit for the occasion. The fit was perfect and tailored to my specifications. I would recommend Martin Gabert at Nicholas Joseph to those looking for a custom Italian suit.
Bungaku Kure
I ordered a custom three-piece suit for my wedding and it perfectly fit my body!
Jodi helped me choosing fabrics, custom options, and styles with her knowledge and experience!
Highly recommended!!
Julian Johnson
I have nothing but good things to say about my experience. Katie's knowledge about Italian fabric for my custom suit helped me pick a wonderfully crafted custom suit. If you're looking for a custom suit, I highly recommend Katie at Nicholas Joseph.
jesse ramirez
This was my first experience in getting a custom-made suit. Katie was really helpful in making sure my suit was fit to my expectations. If I ever have the opportunity again, I wont hesitate to order another suit.
Randall Tainer
Martin was fantastic. Helped me build my suit from scratch. With this being my first suit, I had an idea of what I wanted, but little to no idea how to go about creating it. Martin patiently walked me through each and every detail and the suit, asked great questions, listened and made it happen. I'd recommend Martin to anyone looking for a suit.
David Mallett
Jodi delivered above and beyond my expectations. She accommodated my style and requests while also providing great perspective. Would highly recommend her and Nicholas Joseph! Look forward to coming back for more great fitting work clothing in the future.
Tommy Washburn
Jodi helped me with a tuxedo for my wedding. She was incredibly helpful with her thoughts on how the design would be and what would look good with the details I provided.
Jodi was timely, responsive, and very much somebody I would recommend to a customer looking for custom clothing.
Jamion Hartley
If you’re thinking of going the custom route, set up a meeting with Jodi Leahy at Nicholas Joseph. Jodi helped with my first custom sport coat. Throughout the seamless and educational process, Jodi’s proficiency in her craft was complemented beautifully through her perfectionism and extraordinary attention to detail. I believe these are nonnegotiable qualities your custom clothes designer should have, especially when you are 6’7”!! Jodi, thank you again and see you soon!!
Bret Hildebrandt
Jodi was a terrific help in getting the perfect tuxedo fitted for my wedding. The process was smooth from start to finish, including some great advice on shoes! Would highly recommend.
Kraig Kelsey

Worked with Amalia who helped me from start to finish with a custom suit for my wedding. She made the process extremely easy and nailed the measurements with how I wanted the fit ! Definitely plan to refer family and friends to her in the future!!
Jim C
Jodi has helped me with amazing custom suits, tux, shirts, pants shoes... great looking clothes that fit my hard to fit bod perfectly. One more wedding Jodi, see you soon.
Justin Myers
Jodi's knowledge about custom clothing fit and look is invaluable. This is my second order after two (2) amazing suits Jodi helped me pick out. I will be back for that blazer!
Mike Mazursky
Great experience every time! Been getting suits, sport jackets and shirts for years. Materials and craftsmanship are excellent, and Jodi and team treat me like family. Highly recommended!
Stuart Kaufman
Katie is the best. She makes the process stress and hastle free. They have great selection of materials and the workmanship is bar non the best tailoring. Can’t recommend Katie and NJ enough!
Alexander Egger
Jodi was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. My custom suit fit like a second skin. I had never worn something that fit my body so perfectly before. I wish her and all of Nicholas Joseph the best and will gladly return for any custom clothing in the future!
Robert Villa
I came here last minute to get a tux for my wedding after a different custom suit service told me it wouldn't be ready in time. Not only did they have the Loro Piana I was looking for, but they were able to rush it and arrived with time to spare! Great service and very knowledgeable. Martin was patient and gave important recommendations. Only problem is that you may look better than your bride if you go here :)
Nicholas Knuth
My experience at Nicholas Joseph was amazing. I worked with Amalia and she was great with helping me choose the right material. Definitely coming back for more suits.
Bernard Banks
Katie and Nicholas Joseph were wonderful as always! Professional, courteous, and outstanding product quality. I absolutely recommend Katie and the team at Nicholas Joseph for your sartorial needs!
James Meurer
Katie was both helpful and patient in assisting my partner and I pick out our wedding suits. We will be back for any future suit purchases. Thank you Katie!
Craig Chval
I always go to Nicholas Joseph for my wardrobe, including my wedding tux. Katie always does a tremendous job helping design great custom outfits.
Sen Lin
It was my first time having a custom suit. Katie took good care of me. She was kind, patient, and professional. And the suit suits me well!!!
Alex Bowman
Martin helped fit me with a custom tux and dinner jacket for my wedding. He was wonderful through the entire process and I couldn’t be happier with the final product!
Gene DiVito
Jodi Leahy was a huge help in picking fabric, style and fit. I would definately purchase more customer clothes from her in the future.
David Woodcock
No brainer - don't over think it, just contact Nicholas Joseph and have any of their designers get you started on a piece of custom clothing. I walked past their store every weekend on my way to Binnys and saw these beautiful suit jackets in their window and when it came time to get a suit for my wedding I stopped in and they took excellent care of me. I worked closely with two designers there, Amalia and Katie, they were both incredible when it came to steering me in the right direction for important decisions when it came to my custom suit. They not only took excellent care of me, but helped my groomsmen get their custom suits fitted perfectly as well (3 of which were for friends living out of the USA). You get what you pay for, and I received top notch service from Nicholas Joseph. I've received so many complements on my suit, I honestly can't wait to go back and see Katie for more custom shirts, suits and jackets. If you treat yourself to this experience just once, it will change the way you buy clothes forever. You owe it to yourself to stop in and pay the tailors and designers at Nicholas Joseph a visit, you will not regret it.
Paul DeBruine
Katie did a great job helping design a custom shirt and blazer that I love. I will definitely be coming back when I need a suit for my wedding next year
wydrars
This was my first-ever custom suit experience and it was fantastic. Jodi was an excellent guide and addressed all of my concerns and questions. 10/10 will buy here again
Evan Butler
Great experience with Martin. He helped me through the entire process for a custom tux and was always very helpful with any of my questions. Definitely recommend!
Dark One
We stopped by for a custom suit to be made for my wedding from the start to finish was amazing experience loved picking out everything for my suit from the fabric to the buttons they help you and give you the best possible advice I love the end product it is absolutely beautiful thanks again.
Kevin Hoffman
Katie has been helping me with custom suits, dress shirts and pants for years and I couldn't be happier with the quality of my clothing and the service and responsiveness from Katie
Khoa Tran
Jodi was extremely helpful to get me fitted. I love the quality and detail they have put in and expertise. Thank you !
Tony McMahon, Jr.
Amalia was amazing helping out with my custom suit, from the fit to the fabric her knowledge was second to none!!!
Eric Thibo
Martin found me the perfect style for a suit, jacket, and shirts! This is by far the best custom men’s shop I’ve used.
Alex Yashkevich
Five stars for me!!! I usually am not custom to leave feedback, but this one really touched me.
I'm a big fan of elegant clothing including high quality suits and dress shirts. I have been actively buying and using all sorts of good brands, such as Paul Smith, Boss, etc.
Nicholas Joseph took it to another level. I've never had custom dress shirts tailored for me before. It all starts with a team of really solid professionals. Amalia, who has been phenomenal in helping not only to select the right textile and color, but also provide valuable consultation and feedback throughout the entire time. She gives you that rare feeling of as if she is making the shirt for herself.
It's been pleasurable experience and I will definitely come back for another shirt and/or suit.
Roberto Montoya
Amalia was so helpful! This was my first custom suit ever. She is very knowledgeable, She helped me pick my fabrics, colors and styles. She was very nice, very patient and great to work with. The fit turned out perfect! The suit was purchased for a special event and it felt great the day to be wearing something made just for me. It was perfect. Buying shirts is always difficult for me, finding something that fits right. I know where I'll be going next time.
Thank you Amalia and thank you to Nicholas Joseph custom suits and tuxedos!
Scott Payne
Great experience with my custom suit purchase for my wedding! I had had a prior bad experience with custom suits, so was pretty nervous coming into the experience. After a strong endorsement from my planner and seeing the great Yelp reviews, I decided to give Nicholas Joseph a shot.
Working with Marisa and Katie, we designed the attire for both my wedding day and rehearsal dinner. Throughout the process, I was impressed with the level of design flexibility, the high-quality features of the suit, and the attention to detail on getting the sizing just right across multiple rounds of alterations.
We ended up with by far the best (and most comfortable!) suit I've ever owned! I'm already planning to come back for another round to build out more wardrobe further. Thank you Nicholas Joseph team!
John Olson
I went to Nicholas Joseph for my wedding tux and worked with Katie. She was incredibly helpful, insightful, and friendly throughout the entire process. The price/quality was much better than I found at other shops. I'd definitely recommend for anyone looking for custom formalwear.
Caleb Pirtle
Katie has helped me with 3 custom pieces (2 custom dress shirts, 1 custom tuxedo set) so far, and I will continue to go to her for all my custom clothing needs. I've always struggled getting a tailor with a strong knowledge of Italian fabrics AND a keen eye for what designs best fit my personal style. She is always extremely clear with the entire process and never leaves me questioning when my custom clothing will be ready. 10/10 would recommend!

Amalia was very helpful—her subdued sense of humor was wicked, is tremendously skilled at her profession and has great advice.
I was steadfast on my intentions of purchasing a Black Watch tartan wool custom slim-fit Hawaiian moo moo, and she decidedly convinced me in the direction of a 3 piece with off-pattern vest and a second complimentary vest. And by three piece, I don’t mean three piece extra crispy. I mean spicy.
I am presently wearing the suit, custom shirt, pocket square and tie: today alone I have received three compliments, not counting the two homeless on the subway that were also trying to stab and/or rob me. Even they were impressed, however. And believe me, that demographic is really hard to impress in the early morning. They are all business, business, business.
Five stars, would highly recommend.
Nicholas Gastevich
Would highly recommend NJ Custom Suits to anyone looking for personalized/high end clothing for a special occasion. Amalia made the process easy, providing an abundance of different options and then customizing further for a perfect fit. I landed on 2 different outfits- one more casual/vibrant for a welcome party and then a classic 3-piece suit for my wedding.
Adarsh Shukla
I had my very first experience at Nicholas Joseph when shopping for my wedding tuxedo and a blazer for one of the other events. I was helped by Katie who was phenomenal. From our brief conversation she was able to get a sense of my style and exactly what I liked. Further, the tailoring of the suits themselves was superb, I’ve never had better fitting clothes. The service and the product are more than worth the money. I will only be getting my suits and jackets from Nicholas Joseph going forward.
Michael Vitek
In a word, amazing! My first experience in the bespoke life which is now turning into an obsession! What would normally be a return for fine clothing is now a return for fine clothing with such wonderful professionals to make this regular guy feel comfortable in all aspects... from the moment I first walked in, Katie and Amalia greeted me with bright smiles and a genuinely warm welcome. The experience only got better!
5-Stars for experienced team members.
5-Stars for understanding my custom shape and size (lifelong struggle)
5-Stars for really understanding the unique qualities of Italian and English fabrics.
5-Stars for working as a team (Katie is my main contact, however, Amalia always jumps in if my schedule differs from Katie's - they are incredible)
5-Stars for leading me to the best fitting suit I have ever owned.
Bespoke is a new way of life for me and I owe it all to Katie, Amalia and the fine people at Nicholas Joseph... looking forward to my next appointment - and yes, after the first suit was complete, I immediately began ordering more.

Katie and her team were top notch! I went there to get a custom tuxedo and suit jacket for my wedding. Katie was wonderful in assisting me in selecting the fabric and design of my items. The results were much better than I could have ever imagined! They are quality pieces that I will enjoy for years to come!
Robert Vanderpluijm
Jodi helped with my custom tux for my wedding. From our first consultation all the way through the final fitting she was great to work with. The tux turned out perfectly and I couldn't have been happier with it. Would definitely recommend both Nicholas Joseph and Jodi
Charles Friedrichs
Was looking for a modestly-priced, great looking winter suit for a friend's wedding in Switzerland and I sure came to the right place! Jodi seemed to know exactly what I was looking for in a 100% wool, textured vs smooth, Italian fabric suit, and heavier for the winter (See, even I'm as educated on the matter as she is now!!) It was a really fast experience getting fitted for the custom suit and it fits perfectly after receiving it! Highly recommend Nicholas Joseph if you're looking for a custom suit with custom lining of your choosing. Honestly, don't want to wear any of my other suits anymore after getting this high quality material! This suit is such high quality! If I need another custom suit, I will definitely be coming back!
Nick Lurquin
I had such an amazing experience with Nicholas Joseph. First time getting a custom suit like this, and Katie made it so easy. She had great suggestions for what would look best for all those questions I didn't quite know the answer to due to inexperience.
I'm a bigger guy, both tall and around the middle, so finding clothes that fit can be difficult. It was such a weird and wonderful feeling putting on custom clothing where everything fit just like it's supposed to.
I'm already planning the next pieces I want to add to my wardrobe.
Corey Loneman
Katie is great! She is very professional and friendly and will take care of you to make sure you look great no matter the occasion. The entire team at Nicholas Joseph's is great and ensures the suit fits right the first time and is on time for your event.
Umair Ibrar
Amalia was great throughout the whole process! I picked everything I wanted and it came in a timely manner. The fitting was amazing. First truly custom suits for me and they came out amazing. Looking forward to more in the future! I would highly recommend Amalia!
Rob LaRocque
I worked with Jodi on my custom suits. We talked through the theme of my wedding and picked out the perfect colors, fabrics, and styles to match. I highly recommend Nicholas Joseph and Jodi in particular. I will be back for more custom clothing in the future!
Rolando Navarro
There is nothing more to as a groom when Jodi helped me a custom tuxedo that is appropriate our wedding motif as well as to the season when we tied the knot (Summer of 2021). With her trained eye for details, she was able to customize down to the minute detail to ensure it will be very comfortable and stylish to my personal style.
Michael Arvidson
Working with Katie was an amazing experience! She took the time to understand my style, what I already had in my closet, and what I was looking to add in. She gave me her honest opinions on what would be best for me to add to my wardrobe and made the entire experience fun and memorable. Her communication with me throughout the process was flawless. I look forward to working with Katie again in the spring!
Kev Views
For a first time custom suit purchase, the experience with Katie was awesome. I'm very happy with both my suit and my wedding tuxedo. I will definitely be back.
Mike Huntstings
Ask for Katie, she helped with my custom wedding tux and her knowledge about Italian fabric for my custom wedding tax was beyond helpful. She nailed everything. Fabric and fit were perfect and exactly what I was hoping for. Can't wait to wear the tux for all the weddings and will definitely go back for a suit/shirts in the future.
Chetan Srinivas
Nicholas Joseph has got plenty of fabric options and the best place if you are looking to get a custom made suit done. Katie helped me with my custom suit, her experience and knowledge with the fabric helped us come up with the look we wanted. Really happy with the experience:) I would definitely recommend Nicholas Joseph for your next suit :)
Tyler Herrmann
Amalia was great in helping me select two new suits and a new sport coat. She took my input and knew exactly what to give me to look at as well as suggested some other fabric colors and patterns that I might be interested in as well. She really excelled at knowing when to help with a decision and give her input in what would look best. The first suit came in in about 6 weeks and it fit great. The other suit and sport coat were in a couple weeks later. I really enjoyed this experience and will definitely be going back to work with her on a couple more sport coats.
Vikram Pandya
Katie helped tremendously with my first custom suit, from reviewing ALL the options in great details and helping me find what items go together well. The entire process was completely custom to me and my needs, and you can really feel the lengths they go to there to make you feel special. I highly recommend Nicholas Joseph & Katie if you're in the market to take your wardrobe to the next level, you will not be disappointed!
Brady Burkholder
This place is amazing, Jodi and her staff do a wonderful job! I love my custom suit but I also love emailing Jodi and asking her to send me a new shirt without having to go back to the store. They know my fit and my style! I will definitely be getting my future suits here.
Mark Babcock
Katie Ally was fantastic throughout the whole process of designing my suit. She made sure that I saw options that worked with my style to help create a cohesive look for my wedding. I'll be back to buy another suit soon. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to step up their wardrobe.
Andrew K
Having bought suits and altering them in the past, I wanted/needed great looking suits for work. Found NJ and went in for 2 custom suits. Great service from the beginning to end from a very knowledgeable staff member (Amalia you were amazing!). First time making custom suits, but Amalia was very helpful and made the whole process very smooth and easy for a first-timer like myself.
The suits fit amazingly and the quality is superb. I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for very high quality, good-looking suits. This is definitely different (much better!) than buying suits off the rack and getting them altered.
Jared Bjorgo
I had a great experience and Amalia was extremely helpful with getting me set up with my first suit! The attention to detail is incredible!
Nicholas Glazewski
I really enjoyed my purchasing experience here. Originally decided to purchase custom dress clothing for work because off the rack dress clothes never fit me properly. My sales associate Katie was super helpful in getting me started building my professional wardrobe. Her expertise and collaborative sales style made me feel involved in the process, but not overwhelmed in item selection.
Tom Salzman
Jodi was great to work with and helped me pick out everything. I bought a sport jacket, shirt, and pants along with a tuxedo and I couldn't be happier with what I received. Everything fits great and I would highly recommend Jodi and Nicholas Joseph if you are looking for custom clothing.
Jesse Shea
Katie is amazing!
I worked with Katie to fit a custom tux for a friend’s wedding. I usually have difficult experiences getting clothes that fit, even when working with tailors, but Katie absolutely nailed it. Super knowledgeable about types of Italian fabric and mills, and worked with my crazy travel schedule to get my fitting and tux turned around in time for the wedding. Wildly happy with my experience and new custom tux!
Zack Sobecki
Amalia has helped me with 2 suits and a tux for my wedding and she was incredible. She helped make sure everything fit perfect and every detail was exactly how I wanted. Would recommend to anyone
Dente GoogleEmail
I’ve been going to Nicholas Joseph for about 12 years now.
Jodi has always been the person who’s helped me with my fittings.
The clothes always look and feel great.
I have a job that sometimes it’s tough to physically get into the store.
I’ll call Jodi and let her know how many shirts and colors that I need. She’ll put the order in and in a few weeks I have a new wardrobe without the annoyance of having to go to a store.
I can’t recommend Nicholas Joseph enough.
Emilio
Patrick Rule
Jodi was extremely helpful assisting me with two blazers, pants and 6 shirts. She is very knowledgeable of current styles and I an thrilled with how the clothes turned out. Have been using Jodi for years. Highly recommend.
Josh Elder
This was my first time getting a custom suit, and Amalia Mladin at Nicholas Joseph made the process absolutely painless. And given how much I hate shopping for clothes, that's really saying something!
I can't say enough good things to say about my experience, and I recommend Nicholas Joseph for any man looking to upgrade his look for a special event.
Tyler Warden
Jodi was great! Very easy process. She was really helpful and was great about giving her opinion on what would look good. I would highly suggest going to see Jodi and her team at Nicholas Joseph!
Ben Wang
I had a wonderful experience getting my first custom suit at Nicholas Joseph. My tailor Katie was very accommodating to my needs and I only had to get one alteration during fitting because my waist size had changed. I chose a fabric that I was comfortable with paying for and was not pressured into choosing higher end fabrics that would break the bank. I picked up my suit along with a custom shirt and tie and it is my go-to for work, interviews, weddings, date nights and more. Would definitely revisit.
Brian Pesta
I love the shirts that I got fitted here. Amalia was great to work with and super responsive. Looking forward to my next appointment!
Terrill Wilkins
Best custom and bespoke clothing I've ever had! Katie at Nicholas Joseph has been helping me finalize the details for my wedding tux - which has been stressful with the COVID postponements from last year, weight fluctuations, and going through multiple fittings. Katie went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed for my tux, including helping me find my wedding shoes offline when they were out of stock in-house. When I was indecisive about tie/pocket square combos/color options, Katie gave great advice and made sure we picked something that will match the bridal colors perfectly. I am going to feel like a million bucks on my wedding day because of her hard work. Would also recommend Katie for any custom or bespoke business attire needs - she will work with you until your clothes fit perfectly. I especially appreciate the extra effort and personal touch as a bigger guy who has trouble finding suits off the rack. 5 stars!
Jason Edwards
Katie made it very easy to find a suit for my wedding. I got married outside in Florida in June and was very comfortable the entire time
Ron Farnum
Let me start by saying, I love clothes––but have never considered having anything custom-made. Then my girlfriend gifted me two custom shirts at Nicholas Joseph. What an amazing experience. I was intimidated walking into my consultation. But Marisa put me right at ease, and we walked through all the fabric options, then the personalized options for the shirts, and the whole process was really fun. On top of the choices, Marisa's service and attention to detail was amazing.
I couldn't imagine how custom tailoring would work in this COVID era, but we did a couple of FaceTime fitting calls...super easy! Happily, my last fittings were done in-person, and the shirts turned out GREAT. I will definitely have more items custom-made with Marisa at Nicholas Joseph. The experience is amazing--so treat yourself and have something made just for you. You'll be glad you did.
Sunny Pandya
Katie helped with my custom wedding tuxedo. She went above and beyond helping me design my wedding tuxedo. Katie is very knowledgeable of Italian fabrics and the intricate details of how a proper suit should be designed. I am very happy with my suit and will recommend all friends and family to Katie. She does a great job helping you through the process of designing. Highly recommend going here if you are in need for a perfectly tailored and stylish custom suit!
Matthew Kasl
The best place for custom suits in Chicago, hands down, and Katie was amazing to work with. I will definitely be returning for additional pieces.
Austin Hansen
Incredible selection! Jodi helped me order the perfect custom suit, shirts, and even polos!
Chris Walsh
Jodi did an excellent job helping my brother and I with custom suits for his wedding. The fit is incredible. The quality is top notch. Now, the cost isn't cheap, but if you're looking to find a custom suit for a price that matches the customer service you receive, sitting down with Jodi is a good idea. She's knowledgeable, funny, and does a nice job nudging you in the right direction when you find yourself adrift in a sea of options.
tom bailey
I had a good experience with NJ and Katie specifically. I ordered my wedding tuxedo and a grey three piece suit. I will certainly use them again.
Sam Mandarino
Katie guided me through a custom suit for my daughter's wedding. The process was fun and painless and I'm pleased with the garment. I'll be back for another suit soon!
Ryan Phelps
When I started planning for my upcoming wedding, I knew I wanted something a little more unique to wear than just the standard grey, black or blue suit. While Nicholas Joseph has all of those, they also have more, almost anything you can imagine. I reached out regarding a consultation and was matched with Katie, who, from the moment I sat down, knew before I did what I was looking for. She walked me through everything, every step of the way, and when I found myself struggling to find the perfect tie, she jumped on it and offered countless suggestions.
Katie made this experience wonderful from start to finish and I was showered with compliments on the suit when the big day finally arrived. All of this took place during the pandemic, the entire staff was masked and professional on every visit. Thank you so much for making me feel confident and comfortable on my wedding day!
Terek Ahady
WOW! Nicolas Joseph has great product and even better customer service. I have the opportunity to work with Jodi. She was not only an expert on Italian fabric but she was excellent as helping me make decisions with so many options.
During the multiple fittings, Jodi was flexible on meeting times and any changes to my body. During the pandemic, I lost weight and I was worried that my suits could be compromised, however, Jodi and the team was able to make everything fit me perfectly ( 2 suits, tuxedo, and blazer). Jodi was able to provide me great feedback on what was flattering to my body frame - this was probably my favorite quality of Nicolas Joseph and the team.
As someone who wears suits often, I don't think I will ever go off the rack again. Nicolas Joseph has great price points as well in comparison to other custom clothing services. I will be back soon!
Jesus Zermeno
Martin was a great help with my custom suit. Highly recommend Nicholas Joseph Custom Suits, their customer service is great!
Greg Van Leer
Katie helped me with my custom suit and it was great experience! I have never bought a custom suit before and her knowledge and expertise really helped me narrow down what I was looking for. I don’t have a normal build and that made it hard getting a comfortable suit that still looked great. The attention to detail she took with the measurements and overall fit of the suit was second to none. I bought this suit for my wedding then quickly moved across the country and during that move had minor damage to the jacket.
Although I was hundreds of miles away Katie went out of her way to look up professional tailors in my area who could repair the jacket. That is a level of service that was unexpected but very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Nicholas Joseph and if you have the pleasure of working with Katie you won’t regret it.
Colin Benecke
I’d never gone the route of custom clothing before and I came across Katie and Nicholas Joseph. I always thought no way can custom clothing be worth the time, or spend. Let’s just say I was wrong! Katie Ally did a great job helping me customize a dress shirt to help me feel confident in a new style. The options were extremely easy to understand and when my shirt was sent to me and I put it on the fit was amazing. I will be ordering from Nicholas Joseph and I don’t even live in Chicago. I highly recommend the experience to anyone looking to get into high quality custom clothing.
Derek Bartsch
Amalia is the best! This was one my first tearing purchasing a custom tuxedo and Amalia feel such at ease throughout the whole process. My tuxedo fits like a glove and can't count all the compliments I received that night. Amalia, thank you so much for such a great tuxedo and experience. Would recommend 10 out of 10
Alex Freeland
I worked with Jodi on different suits, shirts, ties, shoes, etc. and everything was perfect! The custom suits fit great, shirts were perfect, and the style recommendations were very helpful. I’ll definitely be purchasing all of my custom clothes through this store and working with Jodi in the future as she was very helpful and made sure everything was a perfect fit. From Italian fabric to colors, patterns, key sizing and shape alterations Jodi was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire experience!
Sean O'Donnell
Katie did a fantastic job helping me decide on every detail of my suit. As a first time purchaser of a custom suit, she was very helpful in guiding me through the process and what was the most appropriate for my needs. The thing I liked the most was the honesty and lack of pushiness. She never tried to up-sell me, but instead focused on the materials and what I would like the most. Looking forward to coming back!
William Maddocks
Amalia is the best - knowledgeable, thorough and very pleasant to work with. The comments I am getting from my friends and family is that I have never looked better in my new tuxedo!!
Michael Tooley
Jodi is the best and really helped me out with my first custom suit. Cant wait for the wedding!
Jim Swanson
I got a custom sport coat, vest and shirts from Nicholas Joseph.
Marisa was absolutely fantastic and her knowledge made the process very easy and enjoyable.
I've always been a challenging "fit" and have never been able to buy anything off the rack. The custom fit...for my body type and personal style...is perfect!
I will definitely buy again and most certainly recommend the team at Nicholas Joseph Custom Tailors to anyone looking for high quality, custom suits, etc.
Thanks, Marisa!
Brian Fortin
Jodi helped with my custom suit and her knowledge and expertise made the experience unforgettable. I could not be happier with the final product!
Joseph Castaneda
I could not be happier with my custom suit!! Jodi was so incredibly helpful and made the whole process enjoyable. Highly recommend!!
Varun Kaushal
I needed to get a specially made Tuxedo for my wedding and I couldn't have picked a better place to go. They were friendly, flexible, and extremely helpful with selecting the best suit for me. Marisa not only knew about all the styles, trends, and technicalities around fabric types, she also helped make sure I didn't overspend but got the look and feel I wanted out of my Tux. You can't go wrong with custom clothing for your own shape and body type. I highly recommend Nicholas Joseph for anyone who wants a tailored experience resulting in clothing you can be really confident in. Thank you Marisa.
Michael Manga
Katie absolutely knocked it out of the park with my first bespoke suit! The suit (pictured), was made for my wedding, and many more occasions to come!
Not only was Katie knowledgeable, she was great to work with. I really appreciated how flexible she was to my busy work schedule, that caused a few appointment times to be rescheduled.
Being 6'3" with a slim build, it is impossible to find well fitting clothing, let alone formal wear. The suit, as well as the dress shirts, are the first articles of formal wear that I can say fit perfect. The fine Italian wool, and attention to detail by the tailor, make wearing the suit an experience I am looking forward to enjoying for many years to come.
Thank you Katie!
Rodrigo G
Amalia helped me recreate the design of a favorite piece that I had outgrown and was starting to come apart - the end result was an amazingly faithful (but updated) version of the original. We also put together a pair of blazers that FINALLY fit me in the way I've never been able to find off the rack or with other custom clothiers. I will be coming back to her for all of my custom needs and strongly recommend her and Nicholas Joseph to anyone looking for custom tailoring needs.
Robert Lugiai
Katie was really amazing helping me through the process of buying my suit. This is my first custom suit and shirt that I have ever purchased and while yes, the price is a lot, the feel and look is simply unmatched. My partner and I both got our wedding suits through Katie and she was wonderful with suggestions, recommendations, and making sure the suit fit perfectly after it had been made. If you need custom clothes for any occasion, I felt like Nicholas Joseph was fairly priced, very knowledgeable, and had classy and traditional choices.
Drew Wikelius
This was my first time getting any custom clothing and Amalia was absolutely fantastic to work with. Took the time to make sure every detail of the shirt from collar, to cuffs, to buttons, and everything in between was exactly how I wanted.
Absolutely love how everything turned out with both the fit and overall appearance.
Highly recommend Nicolas Joseph and working with Amalia directly!
Michael Miller
Overall, a great experience. Getting married and this was my first time getting a fully custom suit. Honestly, can't speak to whether it was a competitive price point because I was looking for a partner I could trust to deliver a high quality suit that made me look and feel my best.
I found that here.
I worked with Amalia who was confident, professional, and efficient. Between Amalia's recommendations and my Fiancé's discernent I have no doubt that every piece of the ensemble is perfect.
Timothy Cox
Very high quality and approachable in price. Katie was wonderful to work with, aiding my partner and I every step along the way. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and look forward to adding to our wardrobe.
Nick Rosa
Amalia was fabulous. She was responsive, creative, and on time! Her knowledge of Italian fabrics was impressive. She made sure the suit fit my body type and this custom suit feels great. This is a truly custom suit!
Goutham Kondapi
Jodi is great. She was attentive, had great suggestions to help me create the perfect suit for me while always keeping my personal preferences in mind as well. For my first custom suit, I could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Jodi and Nicholas Joseph!
Marcus Kim
Simply the best suit I now own! I can never go back to a department store suit. Amalia, my fashion consultant, was spot on helping me pick out materials and details for the suit, vest, and shirts! The service is incredibly professional, and I was made to feel like a VIP from beginning to end.
Chris Weichselbaum
I reached out to Jodi at Nicholas Joseph to have some jackets and shirts made last year and I am very happy with the finished results! I came in to the store having a very vague idea as to what I wanted but Jodi was able to give excellent recommendations based on what I had pictured in my head. She was patient and well versed in the different types of fabric and what kind of style would work for my purposes. I'm fairly picky but Jodi was extremely accommodating and professional and went out of her way to make sure I was happy. Thank you for all of your help!! I will be a returning customer.
Tarek Wiley
This place is the best. I had a custom suit made for my wedding in 2019, and it turned out amazing. Katie was my stylist, and she was so helpful when I was picking out the fabrics, style, and details. I wish I could have all my clothes made here, but maybe Ill start with a custom coat next …
Judicael Zounmevo
First Nicholas Joseph experience!
I ordered a suit + shirts and pants. My expectations were exceeded. The suit was what I'd simply call a perfect fit! It was well-trimmed, neat and lovely (well, I love myself in it ^_^). The same goes for the shirts and pants. The experience as a whole was worth every penny and every second of my time.
And Amalia was simply awesome! Thanks again.
First, they have an overwhelming selection of fabrics. I'd usually give up in those circumstances (far too many of anything to choose from exhausts me; I'm kind of lazy); but Amalia's impressive knowledge of Italian fabrics made the experience practical and mentally manageable. She briefly educated me (along the way) about color equivalency, "strechability", "breathability", shirt/suit compatibility, etc. So, it became easy to create categories that I can navigate in and narrow things down ... confidently.
Then, there were those few moments where she made some suggestions that I'd be ambivalent about; and then the (post-execution) outcomes all led to "Yas! I'm super glad she did". She has the eyes for those barely-noticeable improvements that hit right; and overall, she gave great suggestions/advice/recommendations. Basically, she truly knows men fashion!
Glen Curry
Katie was phenomenal!! Whatever idea’s I had about the look I wanted, she took them to the next level. She knows what she’s talking about, and it helps that she brings a great female perspective to men’s style. The materials, style, fit, and experience are through the roof! I HIGHLY recommend everyone to check her out!
James Janega
The designer I work with, Jodi, is fantastically knowledgeable, professional, and produces flawless results that make the custom, tailored Nicholas Joseph suits in my closet the favorite items in my professional wardrobe. Jodi has worked with me on those custom suits for years now. Even during the pandemic, Jodi, Nick, and the other masked-up designers are sharp, comforting, stylish, and efficient. Their designs are polished, wear well, and last forever. 100% would recommend.
Mike Rasmussen
Katie helped me create two custom shirts and I couldn’t be happier with the product and the service. I came into the process with zero idea of what I wanted and Katie expertly and patiently guided me through the process - explaining the intricacies of each style, shirt, fabric etc. After wearing a custom shirt it is tough to wear my old shirts again. Will be returning for more in the near future. Thanks again, Katie!
Aristotle Spyridis
Got my wedding suit tailored here and the process from start to finish was seamless! Katie made things super easy and straightforward, and they were very accommodating with my constantly changing measurements (lost a lot of weight during the process). End result was fantastic and well worth it! I will definitely be back!
Mohammed minhaj
Outstanding experience! Amalia was great from the beginning, helping with recommendations, was not overbearing and the selection of options was amazing. I was impressed with the quality and workmanship of my initial order. I have already been back for additional pieces and looking forward to working with this team in the future.
Bob Lynch
I had a great time here. Katie guided me through a massive list of fabrics/patterns for my wedding weekend outfits. There were a couple detailed fitting sessions and overall good communication.
You'll definitely pay more for this experience. That said, the material feels and looks great. I don't wear dress clothes often...so it feels good getting excited about putting on a suit. It's also great for people like me with awkward bodies (super long arms and legs, short torso).
I'll probably return in the future. Thumbs up emoji.

Franklin Jin
I would overall wholeheartedly recommend Nicholas Joseph. I was helped my Marisa and was pleased when I found their wide variety colors and fabrics. I will warn though, if you have a tighter budget some more niche colors will have a quiet limited choices. Marisa was amiable and was constantly trying to find new fabrics that would match what I was looking for. I got a 3 piece suit and the amount of customization possible was also nice. They are also accommodating to other custom requests, like how I requested the addition of a pocket watch button on my vest. I very much plan to use Nicholas Joseph once again in the future. I had a spiffing green window plane suit that I definably want when I come back next time with I have a larger budget.
Julian Ramirez
Amalia was very helpful! I went just a general idea of what I was looking for, and she was able to help with complete the custom suit design. Got a ton of compliments on the style!
Michael Hernandez
Katie helped me with a sport coat and slacks, a few shirts, and I’m absolutely happy with everything!! It all came out fantastic! This was my first time getting custom clothing and will definitely be back for more.
Thank you for helping me look my best when I meet the parents!
Jesus Diaz
Jodi was an amazing person to work with. I took her expert advice & the finished product was incredible. I got SO many compliments on my suit and I felt like a million bucks. Thank you much Jodi . If I need a suit you know I will come and see you even though it was a 2hr drive for me... Shout out to Amelia for helping out to thanks again!
Matthew Loveland
Katie was amazing. She helped me customize the tux for my wedding, and also 2 sports coats. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. I would highly recommend Nicholas Joseph to anybody looking for custom casual/formal wear.
Cole Giordon
I've had several great experiences with Jodi at Nicholas Joseph. She was always incredibly helpful in assisting with all of my dress wear needs. She helped me pick out new shirts, pants, suits and an overcoat, all of which exceeded my expectations. She is very knowledgeable with a variety of fabrics and has excellent taste and style. She kept me updated during the entire process of the clothing being made and I will gladly purchase more custom clothing from her in the future. She is truly great to work with.
Jason Shah
I had a great experience on my first custom suit. Amalia did a nice job explaining the process and options. She even went out of her way to reverse an alteration I had requested myself that ended up not looking as I had expected. Highly recommend.
Michael Eighan
Great experience working with Amalia! Excellent assistance, good communication, efficient process. I emphatically recommend Nicholas Joseph Custom Suits for your sartorial needs!
Daniel Watkins, II
Katie helped me with a custom suit, a rehearsal dinner blazer and custom shirt to wear with the blazer for my wedding. My experience with Katie was wonderful. This was my first experience with custom suiting, so i really had no idea about the different options that existed. Katie was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the process, and was very informative about every detail involved in getting the custom clothing just right for my tastes. We came in looking for a certain shade of blue for the suit and she helped us find that color. She was very informative when it came to explaining the different Italian fabric options available. We ended up selecting the perfect fabric. She made great recommendations when it came to picking out a shirt pattern to match the Blazer we chose for the rehearsal. She was also very helpful in finding different tie options for us to choose from. The fitting process went very smooth. During the first fitting, Katie was very attentive to every detail, and made recommendations that made the fit of my custom clothing perfect. When I tried everything on during the last fitting, the fit on every piece was perfect. I really enjoyed working with Katie, and I am very appreciative of her help. I was very pleased with my overall experience at Nicholas Joseph, and I plan to come back soon to get some suits for work.
Keval Patel
Amalia helped with my first custom suit and it is exactly what I was looking for! Her knowledge about Italian fabric made this process extremely simple for me. She not only helped me meet my tight timeline but she quickly understood my personal style and made the fit perfect. Will definitely be going back for another!
Mike Fabbri
I had an outstanding experience with Katie. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable guiding me through the process of my custom suit and shirt order. The final results were perfect. I would highly recommend Nicholas Joseph and Katie! Thank you for the great service!!!
Anish Patel
Katie was outstanding. This was my first custom suit experience and she made the process so simple. Her honest and on point feedback was greatly appreciated. You can truly see Katie wants you to look your best for whatever occasion you are being fitted for. I’ll be uploading pictures as soon as I can but everyone was giving me endless compliments on my fit! Thanks again Katie!!

I’ve been shopping here for 2-3 years now. Mainly sport coats and suits. Always a great experience! Jodi is terrific to work with, open minded and creative. Recently I’ve branched out a bit with jeans and shoes as well. Highly recommended.

I wanted to customise a suit for my wedding and found this place on Google. The service was definitely a five-star, and my custom clothing perfectly fits me. Will come again in the future for my next suits ;)
Jeremy Garcia
Recently got a custom tuxedo here and couldn't be happier. Katie guided me through every fabric and style selection and made the process very easy. The final product fits my body perfectly without restricting movement - something I've never experienced before! Considering getting a sport coat next
Thomas Linden
Jodi helped create a custom suit for me that not only looks incredible, it fits better than anything I own. She's very good at elevating your personal style and she makes the process fun.
Luke Baschnagel
I recently bought a custom suit for my upcoming wedding and was helped by Jodi. Jodi was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and it was very apparent her clients are her top concern. She is very detailed and wanted to make sure my suit was perfect for the special occasion; no corners were cut (expression, not suit related). I'm sure everyone at Nicholas Joseph is top notch, but feel confident saying Jodi is 2nd to none. I won't hesitate going back to Jodi for any future needs.
Patrick McGovern
Katie was great to work with! She was efficient, knew her stuff, and helped me pick out the perfect wedding tux.
David Klein
Great experience and even greater looking suit. Amalia helped me out and she was fantastic. Planning on returning soon!
Brett Vanover
Amalia provided exceptional service throughout my experience with Nicholas Joseph. I ended up with 3 great suits and a handful of custom shirts all of which she expertly advised on. I am not one to get too hung up on the details and this was my first time having custom clothing made. She ensured that no detail went uncovered and provided creative advice on how to get the most style out of each my suits. I'd highly recommend her and the Nicholas Joseph team in general for anyone looking to improve their wardrobe and fully expect to be a returning customer.
Richard Urda
My family and I worked with Jodi Leahy at Nicholas Joseph and she was thoroughly knowledgeable as well as very friendly and helpful to all of us. Jodi provided great guidance about the available choices for my birthday present package during the initial visit. The custom suit and shirts were ready when promised and fit perfectly on the return visit with no additional alterations required. I couldn't be happier with the excellent clothing and the excellent service and look forward to future purchases at Nicholas Joseph.
Eric Wang
I was looking for high quality custom suit that didn't break the bank for my wedding, and Nicholas Joseph Custom Tailors was just the place. I was so lucky to work with Marisa, who was able to expertly help navigate (and sometimes hold my hand) through the whole process. Her knowledge and ability to work with me and my particular needs was spectacular. She was in constant communication, even though we were in a pandemic. The suit fits perfectly and will be recommending her to any of my friends that will ever need a suit in the future.
Pat Halloran
Martin was great to work with- very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Martin and Nicholas Joseph if you want a great looking suit- I will be back!!
James Waichulis
I've been lucky enough to work with Jodi for about 8 years now. She helped me get fitted for my custom suit for my wedding and it's been all custom since! She's extremely detailed and very good at making sure you get what you want. She stays ahead of the curve as far as what looks good and what is trending. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Jodi is easily one of the best in the business!
Ray Burzic
Nicholas Joseph is fantastic for custom clothing. I have worked with Katie twice now, once for a suit and more recently for a new sport coat. Both experiences were top notch with a smooth and personal appointment and fitting process. I could not be happier with both pieces. The sport coat actually fit perfectly at the first fitting! Looking forward to more purchases with Katie and Nichols Joseph.
Brad Johnson
Amalia was amazing. I had a very limited schedule and she was always able to help me with no issues. This was my first bespoke suit for my wedding and I had no idea of the process, but she remained enthusiastic and patiently helped me through the entire process. When it was all said and done, the suit looked absolutely amazing and received so many compliments. I would highly recommend her and Nicholas Joseph again.
Samuel Park
Jodi is a star with men's clothing. She helped me with a perfect custom fit. And her taste in colors and fabrics is amazing. She helped me pick out all types of styles, from conservative work suits, to hip and casual jackets and blazers. I like the fit so much that I think I have bought over 40 items from her. Once you get fitted (suits, pants, jackets, shirts), you only have to pick out colors/fabrics from that point on when you order new clothes (very streamline and efficient). And Jodi is really great. She is very nice and attentive. For one order, I asked her to make my shirts a little loose. By the time the shirts were delivered, I had changed my mind and wanted them a little more slim fit. She had the shirts altered, free of charge -- on an order for 20 shirts! Let's just say, Jodi is obviously very patient. I appreciate all of her help over the years, and will continue to let her stock my wardrobe.
Marion Schrock
Katie's attention to detail in creating a custom suit and jackets for me was outstanding! I've never had a suit that felt so good to wear. The new suit is my new favorite and it's just simply amazing. Besides the incredible suit, Katie's customer service skills are outstanding. She quickly learns what you are looking for and does not try and sell you something you don't want. Her communication before, during and after the sale is rare! She really cares about the customer and makes you feel like you are her only one.
Thanks again Katie! If your considering a custom suit or jacket, I would highly recommend that you go see Katie!
David Fi
Great experience for a first timer going the custom-route
For my wedding, I wanted to "class it up" a bit and decided I was going to go the custom route. I made appointments with a few places but ultimately decided to go with Nicholas Joseph.
This was my first experience with custom and Katie was very helpful with the entire process. She walked me through all of the steps, lent her expertise on various details and also made recommendations based on my selections. At the end of the day, I ended up with something that was unique to me and looked great!
Pricing was very manageable at Nicholas Jospeh. When going custom, you can end up paying a ridiculous amount of money for the highest quality. Katie helped me navigate to a finished product that looked great and was within my budget. They also threw in a shirt to go with the suit!
The suit was supposed to take 4-6 weeks to arrive and it only took 3 weeks to get here. After the first fitting, Katie took notes and had alterations done - completed in 1 week.
I will definitely go back to Nicholas Joseph for any other custom clothing needs and recommend Katie to anyone who is looking to go custom for the first time. Thanks!
Kieran Layton
Martin was an absolute delight, and helped my partner and I pick out beautiful, complementary suits. Highly recommend!
Peter Corey
Jodi and team were beyond helpful in helping me find & tailor the perfect tuxedo for my wedding. We only interacted with them during the quarantine and they were stellar and safe the whole time. I've got odd sizing (I'm very lanky), but I love how my Tux fits and wears. Really glad we took the time to get it right. It also cleaned up nicely too. I would recommend Nicholas Joseph to anyone looking for a high-end suit that'll last a long time.
smd959
Katie has been great at helping me with various custom pieces over the years. She has good knowledge of the fabrics and understands my fit. I appreciate her input on style, she listens well and is considerate of my wants/needs. Although I live out of state (not in Illinois), it’s been easy working with Katie and getting good quality, comfortable, and proper fitting clothes.
Zechariah Decker
Jodi at Nicholas Joseph is unreal! Used multiple custom outlets but nothing comes close to this experience. Dont waste time or money anywhere else.
James O'Connor
I had never gotten custom clothes before seeing Jodi at Nicholas Joseph. Jodi was amazing at helping me find just what I was looking for. The suits and the shirts fit better than I had hoped. Jodi kept in touch throughout the process. I'll be getting all my shirts through Jodi at Nicholas Joseph.
M. Scott Rister
I had a great experience with Nicholas Joseph, and in particular with Katie. She did a great job of working with me on picking the fabric for my suits, as well as my shirts, ties, etc. She did a great job with all of the details, including making sure that my sleeves fit over my watch and that the jackets comfortably held both phones that I have to carry. The suits are great; best I've every had.
Grant Link
If you’re in the Chicago area and looking for tailored menswear, I wouldn’t look any further than Nicholas Joseph. I recently came in for the first time having never been fitted for a tailored suit. As such, I didn’t really know what to expect and didn’t even really know what I was looking for.
Fortunately for me, I had the pleasure of working with Jodi, who made the whole process stress-free and actually quite enjoyable. She offered great recommendations, and despite the endless combinations available, she helped me find the the perfect look for what I was going for (even though I didn’t know it). On top of that, the actual fitting is top notch. The suit and shirt both came out great - just last weekend I wore the combo to a wedding and received many compliments with most guys inquiring on wear I had it fitted.
Knowing very little about men’s fashion prior to this experience, it feels great knowing I have a partner in Jodi and Nicholas Joseph to help build my wardrobe for years to come.
Justin Morgenstern
Katie at Nicholas Joseph Custom Tailors was extraordinary to work with. She listened carefully to what I was looking for in my custom tuxedo for my wedding and laid out all my options for me. She helped customize every detail of my custom piece. Once it arrived she was eager to make it fit on me as perfectly as possible. Her continuous attention from start to finish in the process helped create a piece for me that I was so proud of and looked great in. I can't thank her enough for helping me look my best at my wedding. When in the future that I need something new, she will Nicholas Joseph will be my go to with no hesitation.
Kristen Mueller
Jodi is AMAZING!!! We have worked with her over the past several months and have had nothing less than a very professional, fantastic time. Our dad looks spectacular in his new wardrobe. Thanks Jodi!
John Ning
Martin helped me customize my tuxedo for my wedding and was knowledgeable and patient throughout the process.
Donald Bell
I am a relative "newbie" to custom and have truly enjoyed the process and final results. I recently completed a very sharp grey sport coat and blue pinstripe suit...and I travel a lot, these completed entirely remotely.
Katie has excellent knowledge of materials, and styles. She also made great suggestions on details to make both items pop. Also processing remotely, Katie has been very patient and does a great job communicating.
I am currently placing another custom clothing from Nicholas Joseph. Thank you Katie!
Joshua Carter (US)
Jodi is awesome. Always helpful in making suggestions. The clothes always come out top notch and super comfortable. Great way to refresh your wardrobe as we return to work
Michael Max
Jodi was awesome. I got my tux from her & it’s perfect. She assisted me in all the major decisions & also was able to get custome tuxes for some of my groomsman in a hurry. Will certainly be back for more custom items & highly reccomend.
Adam Vitale
I would highly recommend Nicolas Joseph for your custom suit, shirt, and wardrobe needs. Jodi provided impeccable service and advice while walking me through the process to best tailor my formal attire to match my style, personality, and body. I ordered 2 full 3-piece suits, an extra pair of pants, a sports coat, 8 shirts, 3 ties and 2 pocket squares. Jodi is extremely meticulous and will not let you walk away until your new clothes are 100% perfect and exceeding your expectations. She also works closely with you to arrange pick-ups and fittings around your schedule, making herself available and flexible to best serve you.
It was time for a new wardrobe, and even more importantly, time to start projecting the image that I wanted for special events and business meetings. The attire not only looks amazing and I am the recipient of compliments regularly, but it also helped boost my confidence even further in front of clients.
I loved the service and results so much that I gave my partner a surprise birthday gift to enjoy the same process that I had.
There is no other place outside of Nicolas Joseph that I will look for custom outfits.
Lonnie Washington
So far every suit has been immaculate. Having a suit fit to my distinct shape is better then any off the rack modal ever. Also kudos to Katie is wonderful in helping find the perfect look.
Steve Dolinsky
Jodi was super helpful and after my first fitting, we noticed there needed to be adjustments made. She handled everything efficiently and quickly. Really happy with my new shirts!
Blair Comfort
These are the best suits I’ve ever owned. Even though I no longer live in Chicago, this is where I’m still buying my suits from and Jodi has made the experience from start to finish absolutely incredible.
John Paullin
I had the pleasure of working with Amalia, who helped me design a custom suit that I will confidently wear for years to come (assuming I don't let myself go that is). If you're in the market for a new suit, dress shirts, or all of the above, I highly recommend Nicholas Joseph and Amalia in particular; she'll make sure you leave as a satisfied customer. Thanks again for your expert opinion, Amalia!
C Gongwer
Jodi was outstanding in helping me with the details of my custom suit and sport coat. She walked me through all the details involved from liner, to stitching to buttons as well as the many choices for fabrics. My measurements were spot on as my first fitting needed to be a virtual visit due to the pandemic. The suit feels great and I could not be happier with the results. Thanks Jodi!
Dan Baldino
Working with Katie for my custom wedding suit and blazer was a great experience and I will definitely be back for more. The selection) was fantastic and Katie knows exactly what suit is best for certain body types and styles. The process was detailed but easy and the results were exactly what I had hoped for. I will definitely be buying another custom suit from Nicholas Joseph Custom Tailors!
Kevin Marzke
Jodi provided excellent service and made my custom-suit shopping experience very easy. That's why I've returned for more custom clothes (or bespoke) needs.
Dennis Callahan
Amalia's knowledge about Italian fabric for my custom suit was really impressive! Not only did she make me look better than I have in many years but she also tailored a handsome suit for my son too!
Tom Schaedel
Jodi was awesome! She helped fit two custom sport coats, as well as a handful of new shirts for me. Getting back into the office post covid I needed to completely revamp my business attire, and Jodi and the team were great to work with!
Ryan McComas
I can't say enough about Jodi and the team at Nicholas Joseph. I have been working with them for years they deliver every time. Jodi and team are extremely helpful in matching my personal style with their ideas to create suits & shirts that are stylish, versatile, and that fit great. As someone who has always struggled with the fit of off the rack clothing, I am very happy to have found the solution with NJ. I have been so pleased with them that it was no brainer on where to go to create my suit for my upcoming wedding. Thank you Jodi and NJ team!
Tony Bosley
I've been coming here for 6+ years for custom shirts, suits, jackets, etc. Always great service from Katie and most importantly great fitting clothing. Highly recommend.
Kip Kline
My experience at NJ has been top shelf. There are other places to go for custom clothing but NJ has the personal feel of a small business and their products are beautiful. The attention to detail is much appreciated. I have worked primarily with Rodney and he is fantastic in terms of helping with all the choices one makes when buying a custom suit. I also worked with Jodi once when Rodney was on vacation and she was equally fantastic. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. If you're thinking about custom suits, you can't go wrong here. I think it's important to point out that all custom tailors have different fabrics at different price points. At NJ you can't go wrong with any of them. Even the fabric books at the entry level price point are beautiful.
Garrett
Katie is hands down one of the best people I have ever worked with and not just in regards to custom clothing. The clothing is fantastic but Katie’s follow-up and dedication to making my client experience go as smoothly as possible is why I will now be a long time client. Outstanding experience all the way around.
Adam Black
I had a great experience with Katie who helped me with a custom suit for my wedding. She was there from start to finish to make sure that I had a good experience and offered opinions when I wasn't really sure what to do with some of the minor design decisions. I'd definitely recommend this shop for its personalized attention and reasonable prices given the outstanding quality of clothing.
Nick Voicu
Love the customer service I received from Nicholas Joseph. Katie was awesome throughout the whole process from initial meeting to all of the fittings and having adjustments made just in time for my wedding.
Thanks again and can't wait for the next suit!
Prentice Motley
This was my first time purchasing a bespoke tuxedo. I wanted a special look for my upcoming Vow Renewal. I described in detail what I was looking for and Katie delivered beyond my expectations! Her level of customer service and attention to detail is impeccable!
In addition, the materials used in making my tux were of high quality. I was very impressed! I’m still raving about the experience I had. You just can’t find better service than what Katie provided. I live 5 hours away from Chicago, but I’d be delighted to make the trip just to have the experience again; even for something as simple as a custom shirt.
Thank you Katie and the entire Nicholas Joseph staff! You’ve made this an experience for me that I will never forget!

Katie at Nicolas Joseph was incredibly helpful. She gave me very helpful input as it was my first time getting custom clothing. I was very grateful I found this place. Katie was knowledgeable and so flexible with my schedule. She makes the whole process so easy. You can really tell she enjoys her job. I definitely recommend this place without a doubt.
Emmett Jackson
Katie was amazing to work with throughout the entire process of getting myself, my father, and my father-in-law custom tuxes for my wedding.
Cant recommend Nicolas Joseph and specifically Katie enough. Definitely an awesome experience and worth the price!!
Chris Fama
This was my first time buying custom made clothes. Jodi was super helpful and respectful even when facing my overwheming and daunting ignorance in clothing. I had a suit made and she was very careful to get it to fit just right, which is particularly difficult considering I'm the height of a coffee table. My custom shirts were also lovely with large fabric choices and tons of options, and pretty economical considering the quality and fit. Jodi got me to a wedding where I was immediately showered with compliments on my suit by some well dressed folks.
Lucas Woolums
When I proposed to my wife, I knew that I wanted to wear a custom tux on our wedding day. This was my first experience buying a custom made suit and Katie made the entire process seamless from beginning to end. Her knowledge and expertise allowed me to create a one of a kind suit with all of the little details and touches that I wanted. Once the suit came in, she worked with me through the fittings to make sure that the suit was exactly what I wanted and that it fit the way a custom suit should. Even after I went back for a third time with some minor changes I wanted to have made, she put a rush on my order and got it back to me in a week so that it would be ready for the wedding. I will definitely be returning to Nicholas Joseph in the future for more custom made clothing.
Brian Malinowski
Katie made the custom suiting experience quick and painless. Fitting was no hassle at all with a few alterations after the first go-round I have a perfect fit. Selection is excellent, service is top notch. Timing is quicker than expected as well, recently ordered a custom blazer after getting a tux, two suits and a couple shirts made. Highly recommended.
Ben Lazare
Katie's experience and knowledge about Italian fabric for my custom suit has made the process seamless. I would not go anywhere else for a custom suit.
Brandon Clark
I went to Nicholas Joseph when it was time to get a tuxedo for my wedding and was paired up with Amalia. She provided excellent customer service and much-appreciated styling advice throughout the process. I was very pleased with the result! And more importantly, so was my bride. We were so pleased, in fact, that barely two months later, I've already gone back for a new suit and some shirts that I am eager to receive.
Joseph Garvin
Amalia did a fantastic job and even went the extra mile to come to me when I was injured and couldn't make the trip out. Her feedback on color and pattern choices was also a huge help and I looked super sharp for my wedding day. 👏 …
Jacob Tennant
Jodi helped me from start to finish by making great suggestions and showing her through and impressive expertise of menswear to help me craft absolutely stunning suits, shirts and a sport coat. I could not be happier with the finished products. My garments fit me absolutely perfectly and I will certainly be returning for my next suit or jacket. Thanks for all the help Jodi. You killed it!
Todd Heckman
Nicholas Joseph was outstanding! I would recommend them to anyone looking for custom clothing. Katie and the entire staff did an amazing job and I love all of the clothes that I had made. I will definitely be back! The suits and shirts fit perfect and look terrific. Nicholas Joseph is the real deal if you want custom clothing!
connor beem
The entire process was perfect. The consultation was thorough and the tux turned out perfect. Would recommend to anyone.
Jessen Mukalel
I made a suit with them 12 years ago for my wedding. I tried making another suit in February. Unfortunately, I do not live in Chicago and the process was significantly delayed. Mr Jospeh called me directly and resolved the situation. I appreciate the direct approach. I still love my wedding suit and can still fit into it. Best part is the cut/style he made then still applies to current styles. Thank you
Matt Schmeltz
Jodi has helped with my custom suits for almost the last 10 years! I love the suits I have gotten from her and the complements from friends is great to hear. I also really like the custom casual shirts she has made for me as well!
Steve Forsythe
I went to Nicholas Joseph for a fine quality three piece suit for the Father of the Bride. Soon thereafter, I returned for 4 four blazers, three trousers, four shirts and three polos. If they made shoes, I would have had some made too, because if they were to make it - it would be outstanding!
Katie was efficient and accurate in all of the initial fitting measurements, and wading through the myriad of options was a breeze with her assistance. She is very good at what she does and mulls over the interaction of details that you would likely never even realize existed. Some items I needed in a rush, and they arrived like magic by FedEx well before they were needed - exceptional service.
There are other choices out there for custom clothing and suits, but I assure you that you won't be disappointed, or taking a chance with the unknown, when you make your appointment with Katie at Nicholas Joseph.
DustinJ Heilmann
Amalia was outstanding to work with. My fiancee' and I visited looking for a sporty suit for our upcoming wedding , and we nailed it! The most impressive part of the experience was the communication and timely responses received by her and the team at Nicholas Joseph (with obvious exception of the clothing itself). From the fit, to the colors and the fabrics, we were so impressed with each item we purchased.
Amalia made the experience fun, by getting to know about our personalities before guiding us through the process. Never did I feel like I was getting sold. It always felt like I was being taken care of (which goes a long way). I appreciated this aspect of the experience tremendously.
Jordan Morrow
I'm beyond pleased with all of my suits and jackets from Nicholas Joseph. I've been building my CUSTOM wardrobe for the past year and it is amazing to see and feel the difference that a true custom suit has on one's confidence, appearance and others' perception of you. Jodi helped with my custom clothing and has proved her expertise in the field. Additionally, her flexibility has proven to be so useful for me as I live almost three hours away. The last clothing she helped me create, we connected via FaceTime and I was well on my way to another jacket and two new suits in less than 30 minutes! I get comments everywhere I go, even from complete strangers in passing. Id give Jodi and Nicholas Joseph SIX STARS if I could!
Michael Crowe
My experience purchasing custom made clothing from Nicholas Joseph and working with Amalia has been awesome.
Off the rack clothes really don’t fit me and I don’t feel that I look anywhere near my best.
Working with Amalia on what started as a couple dress shirts, two suits and two pair of pants has turned into a compete wardrobe makeover including polo shirts and shorts.
Amalia is very easy to work with, has a great knowledge of fabrics and spot on recommendations about what will look good on me.
I really like the way the clothes fit and how I look! I highly recommend Amalia and Nicholas Joseph.
Neel Lamba
Jodi did a phenomenal job in taking care of all aspects of my purchasing of multiple custom suits and shirts. She was very easy to work with and has a phenomenal eye for style. The selection, material, and quality were amazing, and I plan to continue to go to her to add to my wardrobe collection.
Brian Dubin
Marisa Gannon was my consultant/sales person at Nicholas Joseph. She was very knowledgeable in tailoring and fabrics and helped me pick out some great shirts. I could not have done it without her and would happily send friends her way as I know she would set them up like she did me. I dont give recommendations often....only when exceptional service implores me to speak out. Marisa is a BIG reason to shop at Jicholas Joseph Custom Tailors.
Stephen Snyder
Katie was excellent with helping to choose a fabric, measuring, and final fitting of a shirt, suit, and sport-coat. I live several hundred miles from Katie’s store in Chicago but the time with her was efficient and effective and mailing the finished clothes was well done.
When I am in need of superior men's clothing I will look to Katie at Nicolas Joseph!
Aleksandar Vasic
I had an enjoyable and smooth experience with Katie. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional, my sport coat fits perfectly. This is my first piece of custom clothing and I am very satisfied. I will be coming back to purchase an suit from Nicholas Joseph.
M Wags
I was looking for a custom suit for my daughters wedding. It was my first experience having a suit made. Katie made the entire experience a real joy. She took care of all the details and the suit and shirt turned out amazing. I received numerous comments on how great I looked in the suit. Thanks Katie! I would highly recommend Nicholas Joseph and Katie. I have already gone back for more shirts!
Tom McCarthy
This was my first time going with a custom tailor for a suit purchase - and it wasn't just any old suit either - it was a black 3 piece suit for my wedding. The stakes were very high in my eyes. I can't emphasis enough what a truly OUTSTANDING experience I had working with Amalia. She really put me at ease with the entire process from start to finish. I didn't realize how many details, options and choices were involved in putting together a custom suit. As a custom suit novice - I had a million and one questions along the way as it pertained to the various choices I had and what the fashion trends were on many of the options I had. Yet - she was VERY thorough, knowledgeable and patient as could be with every single question I had. I can best sum up the experience you will have with Amalia when you go to Nicholas Joseph and ask for her by name: she is extremely knowledgeable as to the various styles and materials, very personable and professional, provides a high level of service with an excellent attention to detail while always asking the right questions to make sure you are totally comfortable with where you are in the custom suit process. I could not be any happier with the finished product / outfit when Amalia tied it all in. My confidence was off the charts on my wedding day. I was strutting around like a peacock in my suit !! I will be going back to Nicholas Joseph for sure and working with Amalia again. I HIGHLY recommend Nicholas Joseph and asking for Amalia when you walk in there....You'll thank me later !!
Ken Wisniewski
I worked with Katie Ally at Nicholas Joseph Custom Tailors. I purchased a three piece suit, a sport jacket, two pairs of slacks, five shirts and three ties. This was a big leap of faith as I've never done this before and needed the clothing for a number of big events this spring. NJ has the fabrics and the know-how to produce wonderful garments and they did. Every piece was spot on. The person responsible for achieving the proper fit and finish however, was Katie. Katie helped me with the fabric selection and the style each piece would have. With her discerning eye, Katie made critical changes to each piece to insure that they all fit perfectly and made me look great. With all of this, Katie also managed the time frame in which I needed these garments done and nailed it. While I had concerns about whether all of this could be done within two months, I shouldn't have. Katie handles everything from initial consultation to delivery of the final products. If you've a question, you talk directly to Katie. If there's an issue on their end, Katie contacts you. Katie is personally responsible for your complete satisfaction and I couldn't have been in better hands.
Brett Bina
I had a great experience here. Amalia took really good care of me as I was buying a new suit for a wedding and managed every detail seamlessly, from the initial consultation to fitting to pickup. Sometimes buying clothes can be stressful but this experience put me completely at ease and my two new suits (and custom shirts) turned out fantastic. Thanks Amalia!
michael crichton
I absolutely love working with Jodi at Nicholas Joseph! I bought a custom suit and several other custom items for work and not-work and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Jodi is so talented and dedicated to creating the perfect fit, fabric and look for the customer. top notch shop and service! A++++++
C. Scott Litch
This was my first experience buying a custom suit. Katie was a tremendous help in picking out the design, patterns, and color combinations. The final product is the best fitting suit I've ever owned; their shirt is great also. Nicholas Joseph is going to be my choice for all future suit purchases.
Eric Bjornstad
I have been purchasing amazing suits, shirts, and blazers here for the past 8 years. Can't recommend enough, Jodi has worked with me the entire time and everything she's created for me has turned out incredible.
Blake Bankwitz
I purchased my first custom suit and couldn't be happier with the final product. Taylor was very helpful in guiding me through the customization process in store and kept an open line of communication with me until the suit was ready for pick up. I would recommend Nicholas Joseph to any future customers and I will be back again.
Peter Dischinger
Amalia provided very good service and had a great eye for helping me pick out clothes. The clothes arrived on an expedited time frame and fit very well with no further alterations needed.
Lindahls
It's all about the experince for me and I'm willing to pay to get that experience which Katie provided. Everything was top notch through the process. I had a custom suit made along with some new custom shirts.
Katie and Nicholas Joseph will not dissappoint and for all those Big and Tall guys no worries get into the store and experince Custom like it was made.for.You !!
Brian Moog
Amazing attention to detail, warm service, and the of course the most important piece is the final product. My custom made suit using Australian wool crafted into Italian made fabric is absolutely stunning. Thank you to Jodi and her team.
Mehul Patel
Overall, I'm happy with the process and my custom clothing. I bought 2 suits, 5 shirts, 3 ties, and 2 handkerchiefs. I picked then over other custom suppliers due to their offer packages. I later found out that you could put together your own packages and still get a discount which was nice. My stylist, Katie, was knowledgeable and provided good feedback during the decision making process.
Jason Andreas
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.
Carson Masterson
Got my first custom suit from Nicholas Joseph this summer and am not turning back. I worked with Jodi who was incredibly helpful. Whether it was knowledge on various materials or comparing different styles for different events / times of year, she helped me feel confident in my final suit selection. The first event I wore it to I received many compliments - will be back!
Braham Mehta
By far the nicest suit I own. Jodi is the absolute best! From the initial consultation to the fittings, she made sure everything fit perfectly and looked great. Even when deciding between colors and options she helped me decide on what would work best for my occasion. I would highly recommend Nicholas Joseph for anyone looking for a custom suit.

I've been going here for about 5 years now and have to say that this is by far the best fitting experience I've had.
I'm a pretty quiet/soft spoken guy and struggle with identifying colors (colorblind), so I’ve always been hesitant to try new things. But this place changed that for me.
Jodi has done an amazing job helping me put together some really nice colors and patterns... or so I've been told. I have built a lot of trust with her and feel genuinely confident in the custom suits she helps me put together. It's nice to have perfect fitting suits and jackets that aren't just black and grey. I love my experiences here and will always be a returning customer.
Megan Lenzen
Had a custom suit made for my fiance for our wedding this summer. We worked with Katie Ally who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend her and Nicholas Joseph for all of your menswear needs. We'll be back for everyday shirts and pants!
Brian Reuter
Being out of state it was tough to get the measurements locally with what matches the documents Nicolas joseph sends you. But Katie was available to Facetime and help get me through it. When my jacket came in a little too tight, I facetimed again and she was quickly able to judge and see what was needed to be done. Now it it fits great and obviously looks phenomenal. Highly suggest!
Dev Ramireddy
Katie has been very helpful through the whole process. She continues to check up on you and makes sure your satisfied with quite frankly the best suits in the Chicagoland area.
Marcel Patel
Katie and the Nicolas Joseph team will take the time to listen and make sure your questions and concerns are heard. Even after receiving my custom tailored suit, Katie made adjustments to make sure the suit was stylish and comfortable.
Drew Howell
My experience at Nicholas Joseph was great. Amalia was very helpful and kind. I strongly recommend to anyone who wants a high quality suit that fits them perfectly.
Jack Bayer
Katie at Nicholas Joseph made the experience of my custom clothing purchase most enjoyable. Of course her attention to detail about the fit and look was fabulous. Her understanding of what worked for me is what the experience special. I have made three trips to Nicholas Joseph and hope to do more.
Seth Corthell
Katie was extremely helpful for a guy like me, who does not necessarily know what he wants and has limited knowledge of style. Highly recommended for a great suiting experience.
Colin Rice
Jodi was very knowledgeable and helpful. I got my tux done here for my wedding, and I am very happy that I went custom. I will be coming back for any new suits moving forward.
Michael Kostal
By far the best custom tailor in Chicago! They have made my suits since 2008. Fit has always been dead on, styles range from current trendy to the classics, which ever you're looking for, and each year their inventory and choices of fabric selections grows! Nick & Jodi always make sure every detail is attended to and their selection of ties and pocket squares always make for a fun visit. Top notch! Keep up the great work!
Paul P
This was my first time getting a custom suit and Katie could not have been more helpful. From the initial communication to set up a convenient time for measurements to the final fitting, Katie was always very knowledgeable and gave great advice. In short, great product, great service. Would definitely recommend.
Vincent Fabbri
Katie helped create my perfect suit! She is very experienced, very knowledgeable, and very professional I will return for more custom clothing
Chris Weber
Worked with Jodi on a suit for my wedding as well as some linen shirts. She was great to work with in terms of offering ideas and advice on fit and fabrics (while of course being attentive to my goals). And most importantly my suit looked great - so many compliments! Will definitely be back.
Ho Tang
I was nervous, I didn’t know what to expect. I never own a customs suits before. The reason I want one because I want to look fresh in my wedding day. I got a package that comes with a two piece suits, two customs shirts, tie, and a pocket square at a reasonable price the process was quick and painless due to the help of Katie overall it was a pleasant experience and I look great on it
Kev GRi
Katie is the best. This isn’t my first time trying to find a custom shirt maker, but it will be the last because my shirts were perfect. Katie was great at making sure that everything was done exactly how I wanted it to be. After a few fittings I now want to throw out my shirts made by other custom shirt makers in town and order 5 more. Actually Katie is you see this let’s get started on our next order!
Sam Ohlander
Can’t say enough about my experience working with Katie. Every item fit absolutely perfect. She made the whole process very easy and was spot on with every style recommendation.
Lars Klein
I think Nicholas Joseph makes the best custom suits and shirt in Chicago, and I've been buying custom clothing for over 20 years in London and New York before I moved to Chicago for work in the finance industry.
My admin made me a list of 10 companies in Chicago, and I called them all. Most sounded like I was bothering them - only Nicholas Joseph was friendly, knowledgeable, but I made an appointment with two other companies as well so I could test a custom suit and custom shirt from each.
The other two companies, names undisclosed but also named after their owners and in the Loop, were pushy and spent most of the time trying to increase the sale price, and the least amount of time asking me questions and listening to my answers. I am a fit guy and wanted a well tailored suit, but not skin tight like some of the associates at my firm - these other companies tried to convince me the opposite. I also examined their samples and they felt cheap and they couldn't tell me if they were Italian wool or not? The other companies didn't have a tailor there which also made me uncomfortable so I didn't purchase from either, nor would I recommend them.
When I arrived at Nicholas Joseph, I was greeted warmly in a nice open showroom with a ton of samples and dozens of fabric books, mostly from Italy and Europe, even Zegna which caught my eye. Katie, my Designer, asked me what occasion the suit and shirt were for and who I would be in front of. She then helped me selected the perfect shade of navy blue and we chatted about the details - two buttons, side slits in back, brown bone buttons, and more narrow, modern, but not too trendy pant legs. She even told me that she and the team just returned from touring the fabric mills in Italy and got certified!
About 4 weeks later she called and emailed a link where I could schedule a time to try on the suit and shirt at my convenience, and it was super easy. When I tried on the suit it felt lightweight and fit amazingly well in the shoulders, and through my chest and more narrow down the arms. We did have to adjust it a little to make it more tailored around the waist and adjusted the pant length, both of which were ready in a week. The custom shirt was perfect and one of the best I've ever had.
Overall, they've got a new loyal customer because of their service, great attitude, knowledge, Italian fabrics, tailor at the showroom, and professional communication. Thank you Katie!
Timothy Bullock
Amalia helped with my custom tux And it turned out great! It’s hard to find a custom suit or tux that fits just right, but she made it happen and was helpful for any specific alterations. Will be going back to her soon.
Kevin Rocio
Katie at Nicholas Joseph is amazing. I love working with here and referring friends and clients that ask "where did you buy your suit?"
Nick Kirchschlager
Working with Katie on my first custom shirts was a great experience and I will definitely be going back! I always struggle with finding shirts that properly fit, but Katie lead me through the process of taking measurements and making modifications that helped me pick out and design three amazing shirts that fit PERFECT. Highly recommend!!
Frank Blechschmidt
Katie did a great job with the suit for my wedding. I never knew a suit could fit so well, and the accompanying shirt (which was free) is the best dress shirt I own. The whole Nicholas Joseph team is also a pleasure to work with.
CURTIS Hudson
I really enjoyed my experience of choosing and tailoring my clothing from Nicholas Joseph. I have received nothing but great compliments on the style of my jackets and shirts and how my clothing fits me. Katie did an excellent job in assisting me with my choices and fittings. Thanks again
Neal Rifkin
I went to Nicholas Joseph with a short timeframe between the date I visited and my wedding date. I worked with Amalia, who was terrific! She made sure my experience in the store was fun and easy, she provided me updates throughout the weeks for when my tuxedo was being delivered and when I did the final fitting for my wedding, there were no alterations needed because her and her team did an amazing job fitting it to me from day 1. I would highly recommend using Nicholas Joseph to anyone looking for suits or tuxedos and would recommend asking for Amalia.
Nick M
Really fantastic service and great quality clothes. Upset with myself that I didn’t find Nicholas Joseph or understand how much better custom clothes are than buying off the rack earlier in life. Thanks to Amalia for making everything work out perfectly.
Larry McCarter
Amalia was exceptional with her service and expertise. I'd recommend everyone who is in need of a good tailored suit, go and check her out.
Don Doan
First time buying a custom suit. Katie was very helpful walking me through the process and everything turned out just how I wanted it.
Joe Szul
Katie helped me design the perfect suit for my wedding and I couldn’t be happier with the end product. Even through a pandemic, she was able to safely and effectively get every detail right.
Luke Hemming
My father had a few shirts custom made for him from Nicholas Joseph and was very impressed with the quality and the fit. When I graduated college and needed a few new suits for work I came to Chicago specifically to have them made for me. I could not have been more pleased with the way they turned out. The fabric of the suits feels amazingly comfortable and thanks to the custom measurements and design the fit is PERFECT. I've been to a few other places in Chicago and their suits just cannot compare thanks to the full time tailor at Nicholas Joseph who made sure every aspect of the fit was as precise as can be for my body. Not to mention the turnaround for a fully custom suit was much faster than I had anticipated. I would highly recommend working with the people at Nicholas Joseph for all your mens clothing needs. I've been a repeat customer since my first visit and I'll continue coming back.
Kendra Dodds
We were recently married and chose Nicholas Joseph to have my husband's custom wedding tuxedo made. Katie and the team there were absolutely amazing! The entire process was quick and seamless from start to finish. We were initially unsure about the look Luke was wanting but Katie guided us in the right direction- we totally trusted her expertise. She advised us on different fabrics and styling details and we ended up with an awesome navy tuxedo. She went the extra mile and gave us tips on shoes to match and even looks for the groomsmen to tie it all together. Our wedding was over a month ago and Luke is still receiving SO many compliments on how well his tux looked. Go to Nicholas Joseph- it’s a no brainer!
Wayne Busch
I’ve been working with Jodi Leahy at Nicholas Joseph for a few years. I did a test with all the Chicago custom shops and this one had the best combination of product and service by far. Jodi knows what is fashionable but also gets to know her customers so that she can recommend things that suit them. I do a lot of shirts but also pants, sport coats and a few suits. Great fits and good comments when i wear them, finally, it’s convenient near the Loop, reasonably priced and good turnaround time.
andrew yoder
Katie was fantastic and a huge help getting my insane request of a bespoke corduroy suit for my wedding to be just perfect. I would absolutely recommend her and the Nicholas Joseph team to everyone!
Shane Millen
Fantastic experience working with Jodi. My tailored suit for my wedding is perfect. Jodi was great in helping me pick out the details for my custom suit. Highly recommend
Jack Leahy
I have been a loyal client of Nicholas Joseph for at least 5 years now. In my opinion, the best custom tailor in the city of Chicago.
That being said, although I have since moved back to Milwaukee, I continue to be a loyal client and have no intention of that changing.
Jodi and the team have incomparable expertise, impressive taste, and are very supportive throughout the process.
I truly enjoy the experience time after time.
Jason Andreas
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.

Dustin Siegel
Super happy with my new suit. I went in with a budget in mind and Jodi took that and helped me create the perfect look for my wedding. I loved the final result, and my wife couldn't stop talking about how great I looked. Thank you!
Eric Patterson
This was my first custom suit experience. Everything from the first meeting to the last fitting was perfect. Everyone is very professional and helpful.
Robert Metz
Jodi made the experience of getting a completely custom suit quick and easy. I think between selecting the fabrics and style, and fitting, I was in and out in less than 30 mins, and the suit is perfect. My next custom suit will definitely come from Jodi and Nicholas Joseph Custom Tailors.
Ryan Cassidy
Absolutely love Nicholas Joseph suits, fit came in perfect the first time. Jodi was great in helping me pick out materials and describing how to keep it professional while still being unique. This is my third suit from them and I’ll continue to go back for all my suits in the future
Tim Robinson Jr.
Katie was extremely helpful the entire time. Her expertise was greatly appreciated and it helped make the whole experience even more amazing! I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Excellent customer service, top notch experience!
Michael Finn
Loved the whole process and working with Katie was the best choice I could have made. Once you get the perfect fit on the first one, you will be coming back for more! She was able to help guide me through the process while still allowing me to fully design the suit, and her advice was always spot on. Highly recommend!
Austin Galm
Marisa helped me with my custom tuxedo. She was patient, engaging, and thorough. She meticulously walked me through every detail of my tux—from the type of fabric, to thread colors for the button holes. I came out with a tuxedo that fits me perfectly and that my fiancèe is incredibly impressed with. I look forward to my next custom purchase with Marisa and Nicholas Joseph.
Benjamin S. Stover
Exceptional experience and products. This is the place to start or expand a bespoke wardrobe. Jodi in particular is an excellent clothier and always recommends pieces that fit my style. I've moved to FL but have my orders shipped down - no need to find another company, Nicholas Joseph always exceeds expectations.
Andrew Mike
I was visiting Chicago only for a weekend and made an appointment for a suit fitting. Katie was very professional and knowledgeable about the fabrics and best designs for different body sizes. The suit was actually ready faster than expected and was shipped to me quite safely. I plan to use them again if possible.
Michael Atsalis
I had been looking into custom Tuxedos for around a year and decided on Nicholas Joseph after looking at a few other places. Amalia worked with me and was a great help. I ended up going with a Tux and custom shirt, both turned out perfect and she was able to turn everything around over a 6 week period. Very good fit which was better than I had expected.
Planning on getting a suit there as well.
Update: Order another set of new suits and pants from Marisa all fit fantastic. Really pleased with the outcome again.
James
Jodi is the best! She has helped me with a suit and jacket as well as tons of shirts. She is very patient and is very knowledgeable about custom fit. This is definitely the place to do have shirts and suits made. She took a lot of time to understand me and what I would and would not wear. Will be returning.
Eshan Patel
Katie is amazing! She’s extremely well versed with men’s fashion which is a huge plus. She takes the time to understand what you really want and then does a great executing it. Katie makes sure the whole custom tailoring process is extremely comfortable and an enjoyable experience.
Chad Selix
Jodi is a true professional. She helped me every step of the way and let me tell you, I know very little about suits/tuxedos.
The fit of both of my suits are like nothing else I've owned. I'm extremely pleased with Jodi!!
Andrei Prokurat
My experience at Nicholas Joseph was nothing short of amazing. Katie was extremely knowledgeable and even helped me envision what I was looking for. She was patient and never pushy. I am through the roof on the perfect fit. Look forward to working with her in the future, as well as sending friends and family her way.
Ryan Sugg
Nothing but an amazing experience in acquiring a custom tux for my wedding. Katie was nothing short of professional and helpful throughout the entire process. Highly recommend Nicholas Joseph for any guy looking for something special for their big day or just looking for an expert tailor with great style and taste.
James Kamper
Marisa was amazing through the whole suit fitting process. She understood what I was looking for and gave me multiple choices for fabrics, and ties. If you are interested in a perfect fit this is the place. Just like their motto says, you will look dapper.
Perry Richards
My custom suit looks, fits and feels awesome! Katie's clothing knowledge and customer service is TOP CLASS.
I highly recommend Nicholas Joseph - ask for Katie.
Perry
Khoa Phan Howard
My husband and I eloped in May, and came to Nicholas Joseph last minute during quarantine to have our suits made. Jodi was incredible and walked us through the process, and the suits that we got are absolutely top-notch. If you need to make a suit, don't hesitate and definitely come here!
Camaron Barber
First time having a custom suit be loved the experience! Marissa was very helpful and knowledgeable even after the suit was purchased. Will be looking forward to purchasing custom clothes from them in the future.
Derrick Walker
My husband and I went to Nicholas Josheph for custom tuxedos for our wedding. Katie was beyond helpful and wonderful to work with. They had unique fabrics/patterns we could not find anywhere else. And the custom shirts and jackets fit us like a glove. I can’t wait to continue to work with her and this company in the future!
Mike Giardina
Jodi has an amazing eye for style. This is my 4th custom suit and lost count of how many custom shirts I've bought from Jodi and the Nicholas Joseph team. The fit, style and quality is second to none! Excellent service, excellent selection, excellent quality!!!
Brian Kmetz
Jodi helped with my custom suit, which fits great and looks fantastic. I'm not very knowledgeable about specific fabrics and style, but she did a great job of patiently drawing out the look I was going for even though I didn't initially know how to articulate it.
Zachary Leahy
Nicholas Joseph makes me look like a million $!
I've sent a lot of referrals into NJ because everyone loves and asks about my sport jackets and suits. It's a privately owned Chicago boutique that has an incredible staff and owner who really know men's fashion.
ASK FOR JODI. She's the store manager with a ton of experience and has the best advice for any dress occasion. She super fashionable and friendly and even helps me coordinate looks with other things in my wardrobe. I've been a client of Jodi's now for 10 years, and I'm so confident in her advice that I just let her select items for me as new fabrics come in.
The showroom is easy and comfortable with a nice downtown location. It's by appointment so call ahead. Extremely well priced for custom.

William McGuinn
I've done a few suits, shirts and other items at Nicholas Joseph now, and each has turned out fantastic. Katie does such a great job helping me select the fabric and all of the possible details that make every item really stand out. I can't imagine buying a suit from anyone else at this point.
Rob Pob
Jodi was wonderful to work with, highly recommend her and the company. I came in looking for a specific color after looking at multiple off the rack stores. She took to the time sit with me and get an understanding of what I wanted. The suit came out perfect and I will definitely be back in the future
Kyle Evans
Jodi is awesome to work with. Not only did she help me line something up the first time with my fitting, but she followed up and got me some additional pants at a time that I was really busy. I was able to get two pairs of pants without even having to leave the office to fit, select, or pick them up. I've been very happy with my experience.
Jake Evans
My suit looks and fits great! Katie was very helpful throughout the process...I will definitely be coming back for my future clothing needs!
Michael Grotelueschen
I had a fantastic experience with Amalia! She helped me design the perfect tuxedo for my wedding, with a classic style and a fit that feels incredible. This is my second custom suit from Nicholas Joseph and it won’t be my last!
Rick Urschel
I tried several online tailors, and none of the shirts fit quite right. Measuring your body can be tricky if you've never done it before, so having someone with experience do it made a huge difference. The 'test fit' suit and shirt fit on the first try, and I'm extrememly satisifed with the rest of my order. Katie was an absolute pleasure to work with. I'm not too terribly picky about colors and fabrics, so she expertly helped me select fabric patterns and colors to suit my tastes.
Mark Sciortino
Jodi and Nicholas Joseph are hands down the absolute best to work with for custom cloths in Chicago. Highly recommend you give them a look
Rob Connor
Katie is really knowledgeable and has made some great suggestions to fill out my wardrobe. I typically buy 2-3 suits a year and will definitely lean on Katie’s advice for my next custom suit.
Jean-Paul Douville
Katie is great! Detailed and thoughtful. Worked with my son on his first custom suit. She talked him through the choices and consulted on look.
I’ve gone back multiple times over the past 2 years.
Kamal Hassan
Jodi at Nicholas Joseph is a phenomenal personal stylist. She knew what I wanted as I asked for it, and helped me perfect the style I was going for. I live out of state, which is tricky when it comes to custom clothing but I couldn't ask for a better fit or experience.
John Evans
I just purchased a suit and shirt at Nicholas Joseph and they look great. Katie walked me through the process and her suggestions were right on.
Brian Wing (Nerdomatick)
I had bought a custom suit about four years ago and returned here recently to purchase my wedding suit, a sports coat, and blazer.
Katie helped me through the process from design to fitting and final adjustments. It was a pleasure working with her and the business. It will continue to be my go to place for dapper apparel.
Trace Ancona
About 3 months ago I worked with Jodi to design my first custom suit. Jodi made the process incredibly easy. The suit fits perfectly. I highly recommend working with her whether its your first suit or you own many.

I recently went to Nicholas Joseph Custom Tailors to get a custom suit for my Hindu / Jewish Fusion wedding. Since we were doing a bit more of a modern wedding, I wanted to wear something that clearly was Indian wedding attire, but not too traditional. I went into Nicholas Joseph with a picture of a Jodhpuri suit and from there Amalia helped me pick out fabrics and color schemes.
Overall, I was VERY impressed with what Amalia and the team at Nicholas Joseph put together. Not only was was the quality of the suit apparent through the little details, it looked MUCH better than anything I would have found on Devon Street.
I will certainly be going back to Nicholas Joseph for my suit and dress wear needs moving forward. If you are looking for a modern Jodhpuri or Mandarain collar suit, I would highly recommend using Amalia at Nicholas Joseph Custom Tailors.
Kristian Kulis
Just got one shirt to see how the whole bespoke process works. Katie was super nice super helpful and the selection is great prices are reasonable compared to similar places. Never had a better looking and fitting shirt can't wait to see how my suits come out!
Matthew Raque
I finally decided to take the "custom suit" plunge and heard several good things from colleagues about NJ. I worked with Katie and had nothing but a great experience. Everything finally FITS the way it should. The suits and shirts look great and everything seems to be very high quality. I was a die-hard Bonobos shirt guy but the custom NJ shirts blow them out of the water. It may look expensive on the surface but totally worth it in the end!
Michael Tokushige
Amalia was did a terrific job in helping me with my custom pants. She took the time to find out what my needs were and then made sure to select the fabrics that best suited me. My next purchase will be a sport coat that she has already taken the measurement for. Thanks Amalia!
Robert Jacobs
I researched Daniel George, Balani and Nicholas Joseph and ended up purchasing with Nicholas Joseph because the reviews from clients were outstanding! When I visited Daniel George I felt the experience was very pushy and it didn't seem like he knew how to measure correctly.
At NJCS, I was paired up with Rodney and found him to be very knowledgeable and a great resource. We found some great ideas that are both versatile and unique and we continue to communicate regularly as he helps accessorize some of my new purchases with what is already in my closet.
Even though I recently moved to Miami (I lived in Chicago for several years) I will continue to use Nicholas Joseph for many years to come as the process is super easy and keeping the open dialogue on putting together outfits is a great added bonus.
Courtney Edwards
Would highly recommend Nicholas Joseph. I had the pleasure of having Marisa walk me through the entire process. She was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and honest. She also sent me a sympathy card when she heard of my mother’s passing. The pandemic set things back quite a bit but the package I selected was just what I was looking for. I will definitely shop here again!
Ryan Alwood
Amalia was excellent! Easy to work with and ensured the perfect fit!
Michael McCann
Katie helped me with a custom tuxedo shirt for my son’s wedding. It turned out perfectly. I will definitely Italy be using Nicholas Joseph and Katie in the future…
Adam Lasak
Amazing suits! Big thank you to Nick & Katie for taking care of me. My first custom suit! Katie was very knowledgeable when it came to fabrics, designs and suit trends. Can’t wait for my next suit :)
Thomas Zack
Jodi went above and beyond in helping me create the perfect suit for my wedding. The attention to detail and fit was absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend Jodi and her team!
Nelson Arreguin
Nothing like seeing your dad in a custom suit for his 70th Birthday party. Thanks Nicholas Joseph for the care and attention. My dad has never felt that happy about how he looked. Wishing you all a Prosperous New Year!
Brian Murphy
I had a great experience picking my suit out and getting getting fitted at Nicholas Joseph. Katie helped me pick a great design, and she fitted my suit perfectly. My suit looks amazing.
Jacob Dooley
Love the custom blazer Jodi and the team at Nicholas Joseph created for me. Jodi did an excellent job of communicating with me through the entire process, and I was blown away at how well the blazer turned out for doing the fitting completely remote.
judd tirnauer
Katie provided excellent service and partnership in my initial pattern for a polo shirt. We made one tweak to the collar and have settled on a fabric. Can't wait to order my next ones. Thanks Katie!!
Michael Forde
Amalia helped with a custom suit for my wedding. Her knowledge and recommendations were key to the final fit which was perfect for my body type and personal style. The suit feels amazing and received raze reviews from my wife
Alex M
Katie was great! She helped me through every step in designing my suit for my wedding, and the suit looks fantastic!
Rahul K
Absolutely fantastic place, elegant and accurate.
Jodi was great and crushed it on my wedding tux. Absolutely flawless. Thanks Jodi!
Kevin Schumm
Katie at Nicholas Joseph is fantastic. The measurements up front ensure a perfect fit and their vast array of italian fabrics across a great price range are second to none. Great attention to detail and post-fitting to make sure everything comes out as planned. Can't speak highly enough.
Adam Olalde
I've been wearing custom suits for over a decade, bouncing from tailor to tailor looking for the right fit, the right material and most importantly the right relationship. Two years ago I met Nick and found my tailor for life.
As an entrepreneur myself I have the highest level of respect for someone who keeps their brand progressive, their customers as the number one priority and creates an environment where it's enjoyable to do business, talk business and leave looking and feeling like a million bucks.
Great location, Nick, Jodi and their team will make specific clothing and style recommendations based on you as the individual and tailor the right outfit for the right occasion every time. Nick's got a great business and has become an even better friend.
James Kaikis
I was searching and searching for what to wear for my wedding and came across Nicholas Joseph. I’m so glad I did because this was such a great experience. Katie was amazing - super helpful. Highly recommend.
Eric Baumler
The experience at Nicholas Joseph was truly incredible. It was one of the highlights of wedding planning. The suit turned out to be exactly what I wanted :). I received endless compliments on our big day. I can't thank Amelia enough for her patience with us and for making sure we were getting everything we wanted.
Will Phillips
Katie was awesome, suit fits amazing! Highly recommend.
Zach Ralston
I went to Nicholas Joseph a couple of months before my wedding and worked with Katie. It was a great experience. The suit feels great, looks fantastic, and everything arrived exactly when I needed it.
Charles Schwenger
The team at Nicholas Joseph is top tier. Amalia changed my perspective on buying for value. I always used to find ‘cheap’ suits and shirts at big brand stores and never realized how much of a disservice I was doing to myself. Now I look great, feel great and know I’m wearing something that will last - for relatively the same cost. Thank you Amalia! I know I may still wear jeans with your jackets from time to time... and you can still poke jokes at me... but I know I’m never going anywhere else for my fashion needs again. As always - CHEERS and thank you Amalia!
Art Zambianchi
Jodi is a fantastic consultant. The fit was perfect and her style suggestions are right on the money. She seems to guess what I'm searching for even if I can't articulate it. She never compromises on the fit or delivery and I truly feel taken care of. Nothing compares to custom tailoring.
Sa SA
Katie has helped me with designing multiple suits, she has done a wonderful job with keeping up with my personal preferences when it comes my suit designs and staying within my budget.
Andrew Tiemeier
Katie was a great help in my two custom suits! Would definitely recommend your custom jacket and suits from here.
Bin Zhu
Jodi helped with my custom suit. I am impressed by her knowledge about Italian fabric and custom suit fit.
My custom clothing feels great and definitely come to her again.
Highly recommend!
Daniel Guerrero
I couldn’t be happier with my Nichols Joseph tailored clothing. From suits to Polos and dress shirts no one does it better. Jodi my client rep is the best in the business.
Laurence Brouk
Great experience in purchasing a custom suit. Amalia was fantastic in getting me to look my best for my sons wedding. Couldn’t be happier.
Dan Haddad
Working with Molly for my custom wedding Tux was awesome. Great for a special occasion. Definitely recommend to any soon to be wed grooms!
Nicholas Pastwa
THE BEST. These people know what they are doing. I had the best experience at Nicholas Jospeh and cannot wait to rock my custom suit at my wedding. Katie's knowledge and assistance was out of this world. Pictures to come!
Steve Eisenstein
I had a great experiece with Katie. She was attentive, a great listener, and made suggestions based on what I wanted. The custom fitting process worked extermely well. I am very satisified with the sportcoat, suits and shirts. I feel great when I wear them.
Bhargav
Jodi & her team did a phenomenal job designing my wedding suite. it was a fun process, never had a custom suite before but now i might. Thanks for making it happen.
Matthew Blume
Absolutely in love with my suits. First ones that have ever truly fit me. Jodi was an amazing consultant and I will be back to complete my wardrobe soon.
Pooch R
This place is life changing. Amazing men's clothing combined with superb customer service. Measurements are very accurate so the fit is always great. Katie makes great recommendations and communicates like a pro. highly recommended
Chase Arbra
Katie helped me with my custom tuxedo for my wedding and made the process so smooth and easy. The tuxedo is the perfect fit for my body type and personal style. I feel so confident in a true-fitting tuxedo and can't wait to show it off for the big day!
Todd Hudson
Amalia is great to work with.
I wore my new suit to my niece's wedding. I received several compliments. The groom suggested I was better dressed than he was. Others suggested I had lost weight.
Jeana Drayson-Steinbach
Nicholas Joseph is an excellent example of professionalism, and a caring attitude for their clients. My husband was thrilled with the work they did, and sadly passed away suddenly while a suit was being made for him. Without question, and with sincere, heartfelt condolences, they quickly packed up the suit and Fed Exd to my son in the hopes that it could be fitted to him to wear in the future. Thank you Jodi and Staff.
Cesar Jimenez
Jodi helped me with my custom shirts and pants that look great! I’m very happy with the experience and look forward to adding more pieces to my wardrobe. Next I’ll get a custom sport coat to complete the outfit.
Anthony Laurino
Jodi was very helpful and the clothing looks/feels great! Was an awesome experience and I am very happy I went to Nicholas Joseph, will be back for any more custom clothing in the future!
Dorothy Gonzalez
Thank you Katie for making this experience a pleasant one. Your knowledge of fabrics was extraordinaire. The suit fit like a glove and the compliments were numerous. Thank you so much Oscar

When you go in make an appointment with jodi. You may think she is just a pretty girl there to sell suits, but she is very knowledgable and will help you create the perfect suit. I already have my second app to have another 2 made, i walked in there straight from my jobsite(chicago union carpenter general foreman) with hardhat and work clothes on and she treated me i would assume just as well as a suit and tie guy walking in. I have now taken on a second career, I am an associate at a venture capital fund so i need a few more suits and they will all come from NJ through jodi

Katie has helped me create a beautiful coat to combat the Chicago winters, as well as a pair of pants that are comfortable in formal and casual occasions. The fit and quality of material is tremendous. Already thinking of my next piece.

No reason to go pay for branded off-the-rack clothing at Neiman Marcus, Saks, etc, when this place can do it for a fraction of the price. Not only that but it would be custom fitted to you and the same if not higher quality. Definitely recommend Nicholas Joseph!
William Cassian
Katie is a dream to work with. She does what it takes to make sure the customer is happy with the result. I would and will definitely buy all my suits from Katie and Nicholas Joseph.

I did my homework.
These guys know their product, the team literally just came back from touring the wool mills in Italy, can handmake suits in Chicago, and have a full time tailor at their shop. I couldn't be a bigger fan - even Esquire magazine says they're the go to place for bespoke in Chicago.
I looked at other places and they were only interested in increasing the sale or the other places didn't know enough about how to make my "custom suit" fit.
I chose Nicholas Joseph and couldn't be happier. I get compliments at work all the time and each time I go back they communicate really well and they deliver, in my opinion, the best custom suit and best custom shirt in Chicago. Especially for date night with my wife, ha!
Jerome Roberts
I've been going to Nicholas Joseph for a few years, and I can't say enough about the whole team. I have referred several people, and they too rave about the experience. The prices are good, and the quality is exceptional. If you are even a little hesitant to leave your current tailor, or have never had custom clothing schedule an appointment to order a shirt; you will not be disappointed.
Mark Seter
Jodi was amazing and ensured the fit of my custom suit was perfect for my body type and personal style! Thank you Jodi, the suit received rave reviews from all in attendance!

A sartorial treat to put you on the upbeat! If you are wanting to go bespoke then head over to Nicolas Joseph and talk to Amalia. She will delight you and ensure you come out looking proper dapper after a personalized couture consult. She'll make you feel like she's your personal style valet. Amalia's taste, design acumen and dexterity is a rarity, so take advantage and get on point!
Jim Armstrong
Jodi was extremely attentive and helpful throughout the entire process of selecting the pattern, fabric and measurements of my sport coat. I highly recommend Nicholas Joseph. Their attention to detail and quality is second to none.
Joe Cottone
Jodi and the team have handled the process from narrowing down my ideas to completely nailing the custom suit I'm getting married in. Love the suit, thanks again! Will send plenty of pics!
Brian Stoudemire

Looking forward to worth with Amalia again.

Marissa was great to work with. Because we live out of state, I can't actually see the fabrics in person. Marissa took care of presenting lots of options and recommendations. I'll definitely be back.
Mark Leger
Jodi was great to work with. Very pleased with the experience.

I had a terrific experience with Katie and Nicholas Joseph. My custom tuxedo for my wedding was a perfect fit and styled perfectly according to my preferences. I highly recommend their services.
STANLEY HAMILTON
Amalia, helped with my 1st custom shirt and was very knowledge about the fabric for my custom shirt. Amalia provided excellent service for the fitting. I have a little extra in the middle and the fit for my body type was prefect. My custom shirt feels great. Thanks Amalia
Erik Ostrowski
Two other custom clothiers got me in the ballpark of "fit" on suits, jackets, trousers and shirts. But Jodi at Nicholas Joseph parked me right behind home plate, all dimensions, all details, on time, as promised. Highly recommend for a "seamless" experience!
Brian McCann
Rodney is the BEST! Rodney helped me pick out a custom tux for my wedding and covered all the details. There were so many things I was clueless about, but Rodney was thoughtful and helpful in guiding me through the entire process. This was my first piece of custom clothing, but it won't be my last.
Dan Wojcikowski
Fantastic service. Katie was extremely knowledgeable and took all the anxiety out of buying my first custom suit and shirts. I will be returning in the future as I build out my wardrobe.
Timothy Lubenow
Jodi helped with my custom suit experience. . I really appreciated her ability to help pick out shirt collors, ties and accessories and styles to make my suit look great. I'll be back
Joben Grimmius
I got the recommendation for Nicholas Joseph from a friend and I'm very pleased with the look and fit of my suits. I've worked with Jodi numerous times; she is charming and has a great eye.
Tom Folliard
Customer communications and care are outstanding. The fabric suggested for my garment is perfect, and tailoring is the best I have experienced.
Elise Covic
I cannot speak more highly about Katie and the wonderful experience we had. Katie was more than willing to discuss the process and pricing in advance. She answered all of my idiotic questions and navigated the whole process with humor and delight. I wanted a birthday present that ended with a custom made, tailored jacket. The best part is that it was also a wonderful, fun and pampering experience for him. Thank you, Katie!
John Kirchner
Amalia helped with my custom suit and I could not be happier with the way it came out. Professional all the way through and amazing customer service. Highly recommended !
