Great store and tailor

by williamgs at Citysearch

I needed a couple of new suits for this fall, and came here after reading many wonderful reviews. Bill, who is Frank's son, put me into 2 terrific new all season wool suits and a blazer last month. They fit incredibly well and I have recieved many compliments when I wear them. I definetely recommend this place if you need a new suit or sportcoat. I also saw some great cashmere overcoats there as well that he was just getting in. I will be back for one of those soon. His prices are very reasonable and they include all the alterations at no charge. His suits start in the low $200's

• Pros: Great suit selection and service
• Cons: none

Very Accomodating Store!

by New Yorker in Boston at Citysearch

I have been living in Boston for over 2 years. Being a college student, I start off wearing my misfitted "daddy's suit". When it was time to buy a suit of my own, I was looking for a tailor in the area. I stumbled upon all the great reviews of Frank's and decided to try it.

Great craftsmanship and even better selection of suits!! He tailored the Baroni suit I bought for a European fit, held it in his inventory for 5 months(I forgot), and gave me a friendly phone call to remind me to pick it up.

I was able to negotiate 2 times as I paid cash. His recommendation was also very personal to my body type and age and not salesman-like. I never knew I was a 38S!! Though the brand is not very common, it is "legit" Italian hand craftsmanship. I never felt such smooth wool material on a suit! The lapel also rolls over instead of having a hard-crease, a sign of fine suit-making.

When it comes to suits, a college kid like me was impressed by the old-school philosophy of Frank's. It is the right place to shop for decent suits and not be taken away by H&M and Calvin Klein's advertising campaigns.

• Pros: Quality suits at a low price!
• Cons: Lack of web presence...

Another satisfied ccustomer

by pjr2015 at Citysearch

Visited this place 2 weeks ago and got 3 new suits and a couple of new dress slacks. Great selection. After picking them up , I couldn't believe at how well they fit.

My coworker has been shopping here for over 6 years and swears by them. Now I know why. Beats the big departments stores. Customer service can't be beat nor their prices.

• Pros: Great service and price point
• Cons: closed sundays
