The Armoury — Local services in New York

Made two purchases here: two pairs of pants that were getting hemmed and a custom tux. Pants came back too short the first time even after pinning them in the store, had to get them lengthened again to be wearable. Tux came back as if it were made for someone else - my guess is the Armory takes a pre-made tux a size larger and tailored it to fit me, which lead to its botched proportions now.

I visited the store - for the 2nd time - about 3 weeks ago while on vacation with my family.

I wanted to take a moment and say thank you for the excellent customer service that I received. Unfortunately, all the pieces I really liked were sold out in my size. Despite not buying anything, the gentleman who assisted me also gave us a great lunch recommendation that the whole family enjoyed.

Hopefully I’ll be able to pick something up during my next visit, as I’ll be sure to...
