They advertise clothing makers that they don't carry. If you are looking for Kooi, save yourself the trip.

A fantastic main street experience. Great selection and quality. No need to run to the big city or box stores for a pressured impersonal experience.
Made to measure and excellent materials all resulted in perfect fits. I have had three suits done there and I will keep coming back. Excellent value, much better fits, and done locally.
Michael and his team are wonderful to work with.
