LS Men's Clothing

My internet luck still holds: I found the VERY BEST (I’m convinced) place in New York City to buy my son a great suit for my upcoming wedding at a reasonable price. LS Mens Clothing is on the 3rd floor of a nondescript office building on 45th St. Big open room with a concrete floor and racks and racks of suits, jackets and pants. It’s been there for many years, run by a funny, hugely knowledgeable guy named Izzy. They carry both very nice hand-tailored off-the-rack suits, and custom-made suits and shirts. I had budgeted $700, and was doubtful I could get something good – even on sale – at Saks or Bloomie’s for that. I got him two (count ‘em, TWO) suits at LS for $700, both just beautiful! One for the wedding, and one for him to have another nice suit to wear. My son was in heaven – he loved the place, the guy, the suits. I plan on encouraging my fiance to go and get a wonderful custom-made suit for the wedding - their custom-tailored suits start at around $650, I'm told,... Read more

Ordered a made-to-measure Southwick blazer from L.S. Men's Clothing and had a great experience for two reasons. 1. Cost--They got me this jacket for SIGNIFICANTLY less than what other shops quoted me for Southwick made-to-measure. They even added working buttonholes on the sleeves for a fraction of what I have seen other places ask for. 2. Customer Service/Experience--Izzy has apparently been in this business a LONG time. Was a little unsure on a couple details/aspects of fit. Took Izzy's advice and the blazer came out perfect--couldn't be happier.

I recently got hired for a new job after having lost mine about a year ago. I decided to upgrade my look and after hearing about LS Mens Clothing from many of my old co-workers I figured why not give it a shot. I must say I was pleased with the service and promptness of delivery. Not only was I able to get measured and fit from the owner of the store, someone who has many years experience in the industry, he sat with me and helped me decide which patterns best fit my build. I was impressed that Izzy reccomended I start with 1 suit a few shirt and 1 sport jacket, to see how I liked the fit before ordering more (most owners would be pushy and just want to sell the most they can). When the suits came in I was very pleased and to say the least order a whole bunch more. I will definitely be going back and will be recommending it to my friends and family.

LS Mens Clothes has the best clothing values in New York City. Its humble premises, on the third floor of a nondescript office building, belie the clothing riches inside. I have been a customer for about 20 years. I have bought both ready to wear and custom. Its made to measure offerings are strong in that four manufacturers are offered: H. Freeman of Philadelphia, Southwick, Coppley, and a local workshop. H. Freeman and the local workshop make a suit which is superior to Hickey Freeman. I have received more compliments on my LS suits than some of my other suits (including those made on the fabled Savile Row) which have cost two to four times as much. LS is a a significant customer of H. Freeman. It has been able to get H. Freeman to offer a new model based on LS's suggestions. You can personalize the styling and detailing of your suit, such as working sleeve buttonholes, linings, ticket pockets, and pick stitching. On the made to measure side the cloth selection is hu...

I recently bought a suit from LS. Great experience that I will seek to repeat. If you need a certain fit they will make it look great. I'...

I was introduced to LS in 1994 when I was a second-year law student at NYU. Having been lured in the past by "discount designer" clothing sales and "designer warehouses" only to discover poor quality garments priced as they should have been, I was skeptical when I made my first trip to LS. LS, however, is the real deal. The same Hickey Freeman suits one finds at Nordstrom and other retailers are offered here for half the price and, sometimes, less. Hickey Freeman only makes two or three suit models, year in, year out. There is really no such thing as last year's leftovers in this upscale brand. And as if the selection of Hickey Freeman weren't enough, LS also accumulates thousands of yards of the finest suit fabrics and makes them available for the most reasonably priced custom suits in the country. The outside tailors who make the custom suits are the very same ones used by some of the most expensive men's shops in the City. What this means is that one can buy the exact same 1... Read more

knowledgeable, patient, courteous, honest, fine selection; very good prices; convenient, up-to date,

LS Men's Clothing offers classic suits, sports jackets,slacks, rainwear, overcoats and tuxedos from trendy designers. Also offering custom made clothing.

I'm not one to write reviews, but where ever I go I get complimented on my suits and people ask where I get my suits, so I figured I'll just let everyone know. My father in law recommended that I go to LS Mens once for a custom made suit, and I was a bit sceptical of going up to get suits the 3rd floor of some building when I have always gone to Saks and Bergdorf for Zegna, Brioni, etc... However, all my doubts were quickly put to rest. I was greeted by Izzy who gave me all the time in the world to look through his fabrics. (There was such a fantastic selection, it took a while.) There was a wide selection of Loro Piana, Zegna, Hicky Freeman, and more. He helped me choose one that would fit its purpose and after I was measured I told him the specification (double vent, functional buttons, etc..) and I even got to pick out my own lining - which is always a conversation starter. I actually wanted to get 2 suits but he told me first see how I like this one and then come back - the exact ... Read more

A few years back I had lost weight. My suits which had fit me till then were all to big. Being that I had to wear a suit to work every day, I was quite desperate. A friend suggested that I go to Izzy at LS, saying that he had a positive experience. I pushed him off by saying that I would instead go try to get something at saks,neiman,bergdoff, rothmans, and brooks brothers. I did just that, and what occured was very dissapointing. Every place the salespeople were obnoxious and "up your back". At the department stores after I had said that i only planned to spend a little bit over 1000, i was ignored. the prices and quality were terrible. you were paying for the name of the designer and for nothing else. Their custom departement didn't really have anything under 1600. At rothmans and brooks brothers the service was okay, but I felt that I was being pushed by the salespeople and that it was a overpriced for such quality. Finally I went to Izzy at Ls. Right away I felt the family feel of... Read more

This is the first review I have written for CitySearch, but I really wanted to make sure that LS gets the proper recognition it deserves. I went there on the recommendation of a friend and I think it might be my best find thus far in New York. I have been living in the city for about two years now and I haven't really found a decent place to get a suit. In my line of business, I have to wear a suit every day and it has been frustrating going to so many of the so-called fancy New York department stores that purport to offer excellent service and tailoring but ultimitely produce a shoddy product. I keep wanting to tell them -- I don't care about how nice your store looks, just give me a nice suit at a decent price... I was reluctant at first to visit LS because it was on the third floor in some midtown building and I figured that at the prices my friend told me they charged there was no way they weren't cutting corners on the suit, but after seeing my suit and spending time talking to...

Great Prices....and great results. Selection of any styles so you can pick whacha ya want. Met some celebs at the store....didn't realize they knew of the best place to buy suits in NYC!!

I have one of the hardest shape bodies to fit for suits. After trying many custom tailors I was recommended by a friend to try LS Mens and ask for Izzy. Not only was I happy with the price of the suits and custom shirts I had bought but the service and atmosphere was so friendly. Izzy took out time to go through what exactly I wanted and spent time explaining in detail to the tailors exactly what would be best for me. The custom shirts i had gotten are really a great fit, now it is so easy for me to order shirts being that Izzy has my measurements and I just need to pick out the fabric. All in all I was amazed at everything there from the personal service, great buys, great tailoring, wonderful suits, and shirts. I have gone back many times since the first time I had been there and have never had a complaint. Highly recommend.

I hate shopping, and I hate the chaos in department stores, as well as salespeople who either ignore, pressure or harass you. I have therefore put off shopping for new clothing for a long time. I recently admired a collegue's suit, and he mentioned he had purchased it at L.S. Mens Clothing. I stopped by the store on my way home from work (its midtown location was so condusive) and left an hour later having ordered a custom suit. Izzy was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was honest about what would look good, was knowledgable about what was stylish and what was faddish, and never tried to "sell me". So much so that I had wanted to place an order for 4 suits, but Izzy convinced me not to, suggesting that I wait until the first suit came in to make appropriate modifications before we ordered any additional items. The same was said about the custom shirt I ordered. I have never experienced such a postive shopping trip. Between the quality fabrics, discount prices, and Izzy's honesty a... Read more

My experience with Izzy and the crew at LS was born out of need and has now turned into a virtual obsession Nine years ago I wore a 56 Long suit. As someone who appreciates the finer things in life, buying off-the-rack (when I found one that fit) was consistently disappointing and overpriced. A colleague and friend of equal girth recommended that I take walk with him to his tailor. Off we went to LS. Dozens of suits later, and 100 pounds lighter I am officially a raving fan. From ready made traditionally tailored suits to made- to-measure & bespoke European design LS is truly the most affordable and service oriented shop in New York. I?ve tried Saks, Bergdorf and Neiman. For a quarter of the price, and four times the service, LS provides a better fit and a wider selection of fabrics (Holland & Sherry, Lora Piana and Zegna to name a few). Check out a huge selection of made to measure shirtings too. LS may be the last best kept secret in New York! (shhhhhhhh!) PS: LS?s Master tailo... Read more
