Reviews
“My fiancé purchased a custom suit for our wedding and we were very impressed with the service and knowledge of Anthony Mikhael. Anthony answered all of our eccentric questions and helped prevent us from making every fashion faux pas possible…my fiancé look[ed] like a million bucks. This place is top notch in every way and highly recommended!” – Tamara C.
“What can I say. Quality merchandise, friendly and courteous – extremely professional – just a great place to shop. Kenneth is the best, he is non pushy and extremely helpful.” – Joseph B.
“When my fiancé needed a suit for our close friend’s wedding, I wasn’t sure where to turn so I did a google search for the best place to buy men’s suits in the Austin area. Capra & Cavelli was the first result and we decided to give it a go.
The service we have received has been phenomenal — Kenneth is attentive, personable, remembers us even though we’ve only been in a couple of times, and has made this entire experience amazing.
We can’t wait to come back for a bespoke suit once it’s our turn to get married!” – Anne T.
“Heard they have a great reputation, and now I know why: amazing service and attention to detail. Ivan was exceptional. This is our new first stop.” – Stuart F.
“Ok, so I’m not a big suit guy, but after meeting Ivan I want all the suits. In all seriousness it is very rare to meet someone so passionate about their craft that it is infectious. If you have the pleasure of working with him you will find yourself entranced by his descriptions and explanations. By the end of the meeting I told my fiancé “I need to have something made by this person in my wardrobe”. I can’t recommend this place enough, and ask for Ivan.” – John B.
“Buddy helped us pick out a nice custom suit. Not only is he so patient and easy to work with, he’s also very knowledgeable and listens to his clients’ needs. Quality service like that can’t go unnoticed.” – Mary L.
“Needed a new suit for work and didn’t want an off the shelf department store suit. My colleague suggested Buddy at Capra & Cavelli. Buddy is a master clothier. I couldn’t be more pleased with his professionalism and assistance. 10/10 will go back again.” – Lee N.
