Gary and his team made me feel like a million bucks on the most important day of my life! His communication was timely and thorough and setting up an appointment was very easy. Having never been measured for a suit before he made the process as simple and seamless as possible, explaining each aspect so that I fully understood the potential final product. It was a great experience that took no more than an hour and I couldn't wait to return a couple months later to see my new classic charcoal custom suit. It was everything I'd hoped for and wearing it on my wedding day made me feel more confident than I've ever felt in my 30-ish years. 10/10 recommend going to Drinkwater's for all suiting needs, for the outstanding customer service and incredible quality. Cheers to looking and feeling like the best version of yourself possible.

Excellent quality suits and highly professional staff! Gus and Gary measured me for a suit and provided excellent advice on style and fabrics. Despite a relatively short timeline, the suit was delivered and tailored exactly on schedule. Highly recommended!

I unfortunately have a mixed review to share. The clothes are top quality, but working with the store to get the alterations done was super challenging, they couldn't meet the initially agreed upon date, then when we finally got the coat back, it had not been sized correctly, so they wanted to send it back to be altered. then when I finally got it, it was too tight and did not fit right for my wedding.Maybe their tailor is smoking too much weed? Regardless, for the money I spent here I should have gotten flawless service.My recommendation : shop here if you have more money than you need, but make sure that you have lots of lead time in case their alterations have to be revisited a few times :-(

Came in to try on some Paraboots - sizing didn't work out but the employees were very helpful and understanding. Store is small/intimate but well organized.

An excellent experience from start to finish. Gus, Gary, and the team really know their stuff and were a blast to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding suit!

This is such a lovely and very expensive store; and yet, I have made small purchases here for my husband for birthdays, anniversaries, and such when in the mood and all of our small purchases have been used right up to the ending bottle if it was toiletries (soaps, after shave, deodorant and such) we've used it all up. My husband that is. I like to get notices of their sales and I am sorry to have not been around of late; I am homebound. Happy New Year to you Gary and yours!

I found Drinkwaters Cambridge, via an online search for the ever elusive (and exclusive) French made, Galibier ‘Super Guide’ hiking / mountaineering boots.I had previously owned and cherished a pair of these incredible, hand made boots, back in my college days, in the mid-70’s, but had lost them, sadly, by being a victim of theft. I have been yearning for replacing them ever since. Through diligence and several online searches, fast forward to my recent encounter with Gary Drinkwater, proprietor of Drinkwaters Cambridge, an exclusive men’s apparel shop, just outside of Boston, who happen to be an exclusive dealer for Galibier, through the Paraboot footwear company, in France.I live in a small city, near the Sierra Nevada Mountains in central California, which is almost 2,600 miles away from the Boston area. From my first contact with Gary and through subsequent emails and telephone conversations - on up to the sale and prompt delivery of my long awaited Galibiers, I’m pleased to say that my experience with Drinkwaters Cambridge, resulted in receiving a level of true professionalism and customer service, that is clearly beyond reproach. I’m also happy to know that my feet have been reunited with a pair of old friends and can’t wait to explore the new adventures waiting for me, up in the high Sierras of California.Thank you Gary, for making an old dream come true and also for a flawless transaction.Happy Trails, from Tom Mason, Visalia California.

Fabulous establishment with spectacular staff! Gus and Gary were attentive to my needs and provided me with excellent personalized advice regarding the tailoring of my suit. They also went above and beyond in getting the suit to me right on time before an event. Highly recommend! Will be going back!Would advise going 6 weeks or more prior to when you need a suit made to leave yourself sufficient time.

Everytime I enter this shop my experience has been exceptional. Gary is a pleasure to speak with and all the products are of great quality. Always worth stopping in to look, even if you are not buying. I have always felt welcomed, and comfortable here.

I couldn't recommend Drinkwater's more highly! I purchased my wedding suit here, going through the entire MTM process and customizing everything from the suit material and lining to the buttons and pockets.Gary Drinkwater and his staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and were very invested in ensuring I got the best possible outcome for what I was looking for, which I most definitely did.Along with the suit, I also purchased custom dress shirts, and a very unique tie that goes with the suit and the other wedding colors perfectly. In fact, the only wedding attire I didn't purchase from Drinkwater's was my shoes!

Can’t replicate going inside a store, where the employees are equally knowledgeable as friendly. Thanks for the viscose!

Very clean and covid conscious store. Steven was very helpful with both a sport jacket and a suit. Both fit impeccably and are very high quality. Strongly recommend!
