I began my experience with Michael and Kalypso Couture in March 2023. I paid $1650 up front for 2 suits (jacket, shirt, and trousers). I was told the process is to take measurements, receive the first suit assets, adjust the pattern for a perfect fit, alter the first suit and order the second suit based on the refined pattern.By April 30th, we scheduled the first fitting. The jacket fit fine, the shirt sleeves were a little long, but the trousers had significant bagginess in the front and rear of the trousers. I finally got the tailor nailed down to make potential alterations to the trousers.By June 14th, with no update, I started to inquire as to the alterations being finished and if the second suit had been ordered.June 26th, I was asked to another fitting for the second suit and still did not have the first suite back with the alterations.July 6th, confirmation that he had my original garments. Scheduled to be tried on and hand off on July 10th. Alterations were not complete on trousers still.July 18th, asking where the first suit is and if second suit had been ordered?August 11th, still nothing. I have no suit to speak of and out $1650. I ask for a refund and to part company friends and was told they would get the first suit done and refund my money, to keep it for my troubles. But, they don't have the funds to refund me and would need to wait until the season begins.September 27th, I receive a $765 refund on my AMEX with no explanation. Then, their response was 'well you've got one suit and I refunded you even after our policy said not to.' Wait. I don't have a functional suit. I paid $800 for a suit I can't wear and then got refunded the other suit.It was just a bad experience and I would not recommend them to anyone looking for a near-custom apparel provider.

I had my measurements done for a complete suit in September in the hope that I’ll be able to use it on Christmas Eve ‘s Gala event. First fitting was made in October and it was a disaster. They have to make a new one. Another fitting was done in October and it was so tight. They have to make major alterations. Another fitting was made on Dec 6 and still I was not happy with the fitting and they have to make some more adjustments. My event came and it was not ready. I have given them another chance on another event New Year’s Eve. Still it was not finished. And so I made a dispute with my bank and Michael was so furious about it. I got my suit in March and wanted to fit it but Michael just threw the Suit on my face. It is so tight I cannot wear it. I wasted my $1500 for nothing.

Best suits in town hands down. If you want a suit made for you and only you, let it be an awesome personal experience with Michael and his team. They will work with you and give you better results than you have expected. Not only has he been named the best tailor in Jacksonville, Fl two years in a row but I feel their pattern of success will only continue. Get yourself in style with the best around with a price you can afford compared to other bespoke made suits. ;)

Over the years I have had several suits made in the UK, Asia and Australia and Michael and team at Kalypso Couture excel and are the top of their game. Lucky to have this quality of bespoke tailoring in Jacksonville.As an older guy (late 50’s) I needed someone that could work with me and my older wedding party members as well as my younger sons and Stepsons (the trendy 20’s)…Mikey nailed it.The bespoke wedding suit and evening jacket that I had made fitted perfectly and could not be happier with outcome. You must speak with Michael if you are looking for a quality couture experience.

Measurements were spot on! I have a more muscular frame so buying suits is difficult because of the fitment I prefer. Micheal was able to get the measures to where I’m comfortable in my blazer but it’s still a very fitted look. Great work and currently having them work on another suit for me.Service: Custom clothing design

I couldn't be happier with the entire experience working with Michael. We reworked my entire wardrobe. Michael's advise has got me looking and feeling better and more confident that I have in years. The service is top notch and Michael's expertise made buying new clothing fun. Looking forward to continuing to building my wardrobe with Kalypso Couture.

I had a couple of custom sport coats made with Kalypso Couture. Michael was great! He really knows his stuff and taught me a lot during our consultation. He met me at my home which was convenient. It allowed me to show him the sport coats I had and more easily describe what I felt was missing from my collection. He helped me pick the perfect coats to fill the gap, guiding me to fabric colors that went well with my complexion and patterns that would be versatile and fun. I’m wearing them almost every day now!

My now husband and I, worked with the incredible Michael for our wedding! We absolutely loved what they did for us! We sent a picture of our vision and they just made it come to life! Our favorite part was the consultation! Michael KNOWS his stuff!!! Every single detail of the suit was taken care of! It was truly remarkable to see the love that this company has for their pieces and clients. Since we had 7 groomsmen and a groom custom suit, they were willing to work within our budget and the out come was absolutely breathtaking. I will recommend Kalypso Couture to any and everyone, And if anyone in my family needs a suit again I know where to go!

When I got married, I went to Kalypso for my wedding suit. They worked with me on every element of design, from shoulder to heel, ensuring I received the custom suit of my dreams. My suit fit perfectly the first time I tried it on, conforming snugly to my body while being so comfortable I could wear it all day. It’s hands down the best suit I've ever owned. Whenever I wear it, I'm not only reminded of my wedding day, but of how much I want to get another suit from Kalypso!
