Dan's Clothier & Tailor Shop — Local services in Lenexa

I would sincerely encourage people to avoid Dan like the plague. I bought a suit from Dan for a wedding recently and the experience was awful. He was incredibly rude, which I could live with if he did a great job on the suit. But alas, he also did a terrible job on my suit (as well as the other groomsmen in the wedding). Maybe Dan was a good tailor when he was younger, but he is down right bad at it now. I am giving him 2 stars out of sympathy.

Other reviews have mentioned how Dan will "guess" your measurements just by looking at you, and they somehow take this to be a good thing. Well he guessed my measurements and was completely wrong. For example, he ordered me a 42L suit jacket when I wear a 40R. He also ordered me ridiculous pants where both the waist and length were absurdly big. It is very annoying to me that he just guesses your measurements instead of taking the 1 minute to actually measure like any decent tailor. I got the feeling that he would rather order your suit way too big and then tailor it down, but the suit looked awful using this method (it ends up being really baggy and weird looking).

I spent around $250 on the suit and ended up selling it on Facebook marketplace immediately after the wedding for $40 if that tells you something about the quality of his work. I was comparatively lucky though, considering that another groomsmen's pant legs were two different lengths! Like literally, one pant leg was a good 2 inches longer than the other pant leg. It was beyond absurd how bad of a job Dan did.

Dan also has a weird shtick where he seems to purposefully be rude to customers. The first time I walked into his store I said something along the lines of "Hi, I'm here to get measured for a suit for a wedding party" and his response (in a very rude tone) was, "That tells me nothing, I am working on tons of weddings, you need to tell me the grooms last name". Ok dude, maybe just ask "what's the grooms last name". But fine, whatever, not a big deal. But then the next time I came in (to try on the suit) I specifically made a point to immediately say "Hi I'm here for groom's last name to try on my suit" and then his response was something like "whoa whoa hold on you're going to have to give me a minute to get in the system to look this up. I can't just immediately know every groom's last name" or some BS like that. My takeaway was that the guy just wants to be rude and argumentative and talk down to people. He made a number of other rude comments as well and was overall terrible at communicating. He was also making rude comments about other customers while I...

This review is not about the suits themselves, I did not end up doing business there so I cannot speak to the quality of his suits.

I did not have a good experience while at Dan's Clothier & Tailor Shop. When I walked in, Dan was very helpful. I wanted to get a suit altered for my wedding. He showed me why the suit I bought at Jos A Bank was of lesser quality than the suits he sells in his shop. I appreciated the tutorial, however I was not in the market for a new suit (since I just bought one). No big deal, I've received similar sales pitches at other suit shops.

Later, Dan started to try to talk me out of the suit color that I already bought (a lighter Navy) saying that Navy was boring & that I needed to be less conservative. Again, I appreciated the input but was not looking to make changes that close to my wedding. However Dan was very persistent. He went so far as to say that anyone who decided what colors of suits to wear from a picture on Pinterest or a Magazine knew nothing of weddings. He is also a photographer so he is the expert. He proudly showed me photos of a wedding that he was in & carefully pointed out why his fashion sense was superior to mine (he didn't say that directly but it was heavily implied). I was not there to buy a suit, but he went to great lengths to sell me on his suits and his fashion consultation services.

He repeatedly trashed Jos A Bank & Men's Warehouse for having cheap suits. Very understandable, this is his livelihood and he feels as though Jos A Banks is selling their customers short. He even showed me an article condemning the merger of the two companies (yeah, they are owned by the same people now).

About 10 min into my visit, a lady walked in complaining that her son's suit was not altered the way he liked. Dan Dan started out very apologetic and willing to fix it. As the conversation progressed, it was clear that she and her son were very displeased and Dan Dan refused to validate their grounds for concern. After she left, I immediately grabbed my suit and left also.

I walked away feeling that if I did business with him, he would put his desires for my suit/wedding...

I wore a suit from Dan in old teammates wedding and we all had to reach to Dan and send in our suit measurements because none of us lived near Kansas city, especially me( Washington state). About 4-5 weeks later my suit arrived and I instantly loved the color and the fact that it was exactly tailored for me. So i decided for my wedding I was going to use Dan as well. and so we went through the process again this time for 14 custom made suits. And once again we all are from Washington state so i made a spread sheet with everyone's info on it to speed up the process. And lone be hold Dan delivered! The suits looked amazing on everyone and at the wedding could not stop complimenting them. The whole process was great too, Dan and his staff were very communicative and accommodating though out everything. He would send out tracking and pictures once the suits were sent out. And for the most part everyone's suits were great with just minor alterations to be made which was to be expected given they were not measured by Dan. You cannot beat his quality of suits and prices he gives you I now own 3 suits from him and I will keep going back from now on! If your looking for a professional who cares about the client and his body of work you NEED to...
