Review of website product looked as if this was good quality; also the garment was unique and authentic. My son wore this to his HS Prom with Tuxedo pants....was very comfortabel and matched his date very well. Only comment was I was extremely pleased with the product and extremely pleased with the customer service when I called with my concerns. I too am in the customer service business...I sell Commercial Insurance. I value good, strong service response and yours was one of the best.

Only comment was I was extremely pleased with the product and extremely pleased with the customer service when I called with my concerns.

Good quality merchandise, fair prices, and great service. Solid bargains seem to be hard to find these days, but not at Gentlemen's Emporium,
