Johnny is the sharpest dresser I know. I’ve been purchasing suits from him since 2018 and have always been taken care of better than any other brand or store in the Pittsburgh area. It’s more than measurements and fitting. It’s about the experience and the “why” the suit is needed. We got into a 20 minutes discussion on how a fabric will “drape” (hang) as I’m wearing it and how selecting the right fabric for the occasion. How to avoid bunching, which is a problem for me cause of my wide shoulders.Johnny is a MASTER of his craft! Period. You will not find anyone who more passionate about how you look and feel in the finished product more than him.Since joining CMMP Johnny has single handedly elevated this brand as the premier custom clothing consultant in all of Pittsburgh, getting the community excited when they step out for those significant occasions, or like me, someone who wears a suit and tie daily. I highly recommend you speak with him and his team first!

I met Johnny Sewell at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Gala Dinner in 2023. He made the amazing sport coat you can see in the attached picture. Johnny is a great guy and he delivered the final jacket to my home. Thanks Johnny!

I had Johnny make my green velvet suit for my wedding. IT WAS AMAZING. It's been almost 2 months and people still haven't stopped talking it. It was a staple. There was some issues with another pair of pants for another suit I got and Johnny took care of it no. It was out of our control and he had the answer and got it ready in no time. He is great at his job and even a better human being. Thanks again for an awesome job sir. I will be back for more ??

While looking for a suit for my wedding, I knew I wanted something more considered, custom, and of higher quality than a suit from a department store or massive chain retailer. I was looking for a boutique clothing company that would guide me through the process while taking the time to listen to my preferences. That’s exactly what I got with Johnny and CMMP Pittsburgh. The experience from beginning to end was awesome. Johnny was responsive, reliable, informative, and transparent. I never felt like I was being pushed into anything I didn’t want. A consultation to choose fabrics opened my eyes to what a modern custom suit can be. Johnny was super knowledgeable about the materials, production processes, and considered every detail from jacket lining to stitching on buttons. A few weeks later, I was back for a fitting. The final product is incredible. The plant-based bamboo fabric feels premium and is super comfortable. My only worry now is that I won’t get to wear it enough.TLDR: If you’re looking for a truly premium custom suit and a premium experience to go with it, hit up Johnny and Commonwealth Proper. You can’t go wrong.

Bought a suit from Johnny for a wedding where I was the best man. It was the first time I'd bought a custom suit after having trouble finding one I could get altered appropriately off the rack for my last suit. Great experience from start to finish. I had told him what I was looking for before my appointment, and he had materials ready to go when I got there and made the whole thing very laid back. My brother went with me when I went to pick it up and we just ended up hanging out for a bit in the shop. Afterward, he said if he lived here, he'd want to buy a suit from Johnny too. Got a lot of compliments on the suit and was very happy with how it turned out.

I originally came to Commonwealth Proper for a custom suit a few years ago and have been back multiple times since. My experience has been consistently great; the mark of a brand with good values and a great product.Johnny is knowledgable and professional with an attention for detail. He is thoughtful and always has helpful guidance through the process . He’s walked me through endless material options, ensured great fit and tailoring, and always leaves me appreciative of the experience.I recently came to Johnny in a pinch. I needed an outfit for a wedding, but the event was quickly approaching. Johnny was able to move mountains to rush my order, calling me a number of times through the process to keep me abreast of timeline. I had the order in hand with time to spare thanks to his diligence.If you’re looking for custom clothing, I highly recommend Johnny and CMMP.

Johnny is the man. I'd gotten suits tailored in the past, but this was my first, from scratch, custom suit. When I was initially presented with the thousands upon thousands of fabric options available, it was a little overwhelming, but Johnny was able to talk me through the options and the tailoring processes such that I could narrow it down to the style I was going for.Once I'd chosen the fabric and details, Johnny kept me in the loop throughout the construction process w/ regular updates and fit checks. I just picked up my new suit this week and I can't wait to wear it at my wedding later this year.I can't recommend CMMP Pittsburgh enough. Johnny will take great care of you there.

My guy Johnny is a fashion mastermind. I booked an appointment with him online, went in with a vision, and with his guidance and suggestions, I ended up with a one-of-a-kind custom suit that fit like a glove for my wedding day. It did cost a pretty penny but if you value quality clothing, tailored fitting, a unique look, and exceptional service every step of the way, you get it all here.

Was searching to get a custom suit for my wedding rather than a horrible rental. Came across CMMP and reached out via email. This is when I had my first encounter with Johnny, who was super punctual with responding to emails and was very informative. When we first met, Johnny was so personable and inviting. He had a wide variety of fabrics and patterns to go over based on email conversations. Seeing the layout showed that he paid attention to my requests, and during the face to face he was very informative on the different options. He was able to work with my budget and was upfront when showing me things ahead of time if they were out of budget and if I was still interested in seeing them. Johnny went above and beyond from day one. He kept me updated on the process of the suit making process and timeline estimates and at the end he bent over backwards to ensure my suit was perfect for my big day. My wife and I can never repay Johnny for that. I will never get married again (hopefully) but I am definitely going to upgrade my wardrobe and will be a repeat customer. Thank you so much Johnny and CMMP!

With my fiancé’s help, we found Commonwealth Proper in Pittsburgh and truly had an amazing 5 star experience from start to finish with Johnny. Johnny worked with me extensively to ensure the fabric selection was exactly what I wanted from the color to the fabric style itself. He offered plenty of options as well as expert advice that was incredibly valuable to aid in my decision making. I never felt rushed and my time with Johnny was exciting, fun, and all around enjoyable. He makes you feel valued and emphasizes the importance in feeling good while looking good.Johnny was accommodating of my time and flexible with my schedule while providing updates throughout the entire process, and left me with a suit that I am proud to wear for my wedding. He made it all work, and he made it all happen. His knowledge and expertise in design and fashion is top notch and he knows what’s going to look good and what’s going to compliment you and your style.
