Reviews of Bykowski Tailor & Garb (Tailor)

Joseph Kelly

Had a great experience buying my first custom tailored suit with the fine folks at Bykowski Tailor and Garb. The suit looks excellent and I'm sure it won't be my last. The store is fun to check out, the people are friendly, and the goods are of high quality. What more can you ask for?!?!

Super friendly and awesome staff

If you seek an incredible tailor, look no further than Bykowski Tailor and Garb. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, their product is top-notch, and they make the process of custom suiting quite smooth. I’ve had one suit made by them, and purchased quite a bit of supplementary garb (ties, suspenders, pocket squares, and shirts) from them and have never had a single solitary complaint. They’ll dress you from head to toe, except for the underwear. They even kept the secret of my engagement from my fiancee!

Love it for Quality and Originality

Christopher Wogan

What an amazing, one-of-a-kind shop! Owned by very friendly locals with a pet pig (Daisy) that greets customers. Fully custom-tailored and hand-crafted clothing, bags, hats, and pretty much everything else. This place has more character and high-quality men's wear than any place I've ever seen. You have to stop in and check it out.

I love the feel and selection at Dandy's. The staff tries to make you feel nice and "at home" as you look through fabric and their accoutrements. I'm serioulsy considering having my groomsmen send me their measurements to have their suits made for my wedding.

Jonathan Blackwell

They tailored a beautiful ensemble for my wedding. I love how they work!

Christian Hunter

Truly unique menswear curated by a husband and wife team who love what they do.

Yoni Levin

From pocket watches to custom suits, they have everything you need. Their styles range from prohibition era to modern. They also have great hats, vintage safety and straight razors, and some awesome hand made switchblades.

Moved into the neighborhood and loved the window display so went inside. The lady behind the counter greeted me... but she was too busy talking to people to assist in an actual sale. I did interject at one point that I decided to buy a pocket watch but she continued her conversation with a couple. As they were leaving another person came in and even though I was standing at the counter she ignored me and helped him with his concern that the store must not have his correct email... as she was helping him with the email issue another person entered and she asked the email guy if he minded if she assisted the new person as he was just there to pick up an item.. Nothing was asked or spoken to me.. YET I WAS RIGHT AT THE COUNTER. So 2 people went ahead of me. I departed as she continued with the email correction. Obviously social hour is more important than actual sales.

I had a suit and tie made for my wedding here, and I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. I was getting compliments all night. I would recommend Bykowski to anyone looking for a suit that looks ultra sharp in any era, and that will be unique to you. They really care about how you look.

This store is everything stylish gentlemen need to look amazing. The owners are attentive and knowledgeable in their craft, while allowing countless options when it comes to fabric, custom tailoring, personal style and acuturments.. From the man who isn’t ever fully dressed with it a pocket square to the man who wants to invest in custom timeless suit. Maybe you’re just curious, as I was. There were so many unique items at truly reasonable prices. A myriad of gorgeos pock watches (many priced under $100). Dopp bags and crossbody holster/bags. Old fashioned shaving supplies, boar hair brushes, vintage style single blade razors, straight blades; if you haven’t shaved this way before, you’re missing out. creams, balm, delicious cologne. And it’s the little things too; really nice and affordable ties, suspenders, bow ties, cufflinks, and pocket square. Their signature button boots are killer. At the very least, it’s a beautiful store, worth looking around in for a bit. Hi Wendy! Was such a treat to meet you :)

I was in Austin for work and stayed a block or so away from Bykowski, so I stopped in one day hoping to find a new sport coat. The selection is great and unique. I got fitted for and ordered an absolutely gorgeous jacket. When it arrived, it fit like a glove and is even better looking than what I remembered. I would highly recommend stopping in and checking out this shop. Wendy and her husband couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating.

Alex Garner

Great local haberdashery and custom suit shop. Best in class in the ATX.

Douglas Cummings

Without a doubt one of the best and most unique menswear stores you'll find. They have a great aesthetic, and their construction and attention to detail is immaculate. I absolutely cannot recommend them highly enough.

Tina Cheney

Amazing service AND work. Had one pair of jeans narrowed and other pair shortened. You couldn't tell it it was done. Thanks guys!

Katie Beers

Husband loves this place ♡

David Zaniroli

WARNING!!!!! DO NOT ORDER ONLINE FROM THIS BUSINESS!!!!!! I ordered a hat from website. It took several phone calls and emails only to discover they only order the item to be shipped from a different vender a month after I placed the order.... I don't know how they are still in business. One excuses two week in was "sorry we are a Ma and Pa business...... " Horrible does not describe this customer service and how unprofessional business is.... UNBELIEVABLE!

I have walked passed Dandy's numerous times and have always wanted to go in to look and/or shop for my boyfriend. Right before Christmas, I was looking for gifts for him so I headed to Dandy's. Right when I walked in, a man was yelling at the girl behind the counter about how people are not supposed to touch the window displays. She saw me and started to greet me and he immediately cuts her off with "I'm not done talking to you". Needless to say, that's not a warm welcome. I wandered over to look at some of the clothing as he continued his rant about how he owns the store and if he doesn't want his window displays touched then that's how it will be. He quickly shuffled into the back (behind a curtain) where he continued to mumble. Then he yelled from the back that he was leaving. The apparel is nice and they have some really cool stuff but the prices are really high to me and for the fact that the owner chose to yell at his employee in front of a customer rather than let her help me, was extremely rude.

Jennifer Armstrong

We had a wonderful experience last week at Dandy's. Both of the owners were extremely accommodating, took a lot of time with us, and helped us find something within our budget. I highly recommend stopping by if you appreciate good old fashioned customer service.

Feli Fel

Nice classic suits! Sharp!

Amber Eaton

Great selections, amazing atmosphere, and they serve bourbon! We had my fiancee fitted for a custom vest combo and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience with them. Support our local businesses and go here! We loved it!

Jeni Hudson

My friend has been getting hisself fitted for the last few months. There is nothing more rewarding than sitting down to chat with Wendy and See Christopher work. This place is exactly what you need if you are looking for that heart-of-the-west classic style that will never go wrong. I’m looking forward to coming back over and over again

Josh Bredemeier

I've been buying clothing at Bykowski/Dandy's for a few years now. I think it is rare to deserve 5 stars but this store does. The clothes have a unique style, Chris and Wendy (the owners & operators) are friendly and knowledgeable, and I can't recommend their made to order clothing enough--Chris is meticulous getting the correct fit.

John Gabourel

Place is amazing! Found the perfect fit on a hand made hat. Will definitely be back.

Myra Quintanilla

Best Tailored Custom Suits well suited for such an elegant wedding for my cousin Gabriel Nugent's wedding at Camp Lucy! Chris and his team (Wendy and Dandy family) are amazing tailors and superb designers and amazing people!! Brava!!

Solomon Armstrong

I love it! Very great work done I get all of my suits done their. It's not expensive for custom suits. Like seriously 700$ for a custom suit is amazing! The couple who own it are very sweet and nice and they remember who I am and respect me and give me rewards for being a repeat customer. But don't go in their the day before your wedding or event you need a suit for and expect it be done with the snap of a finger. It doesn't work that way and that is very rude to expect them too. But like I said a amazing suit shop that does 1880s-1920s to modern, so stop by and give it a try.

John Coonley

Christopher and his wife Wendy own this little gem. Over the last couple of years I've gotten to know them both and they're wonderful people. At first you might be a little put off if what you see in their windows isn't your style - more Boardwalk Empire than Wolf of Wall Street. But Christopher has made me numerous items of clothing including custom shirts and they have all come out fantastically (all in a modern style). Additionally, I love the variety they offer (be prepared to dig through several sample books if you want). This is truly a small business and you will not be treated like a number as you might in a large chain store.

Alex Rowland

very helpful and fashionable owners! everything is beautifully made. they helped me pick out the perfect suit in under and hour and at the very last minute. could not be happier or recommend them more.

Michael Cantwell

We accidentally stumbled upon Dandy's and to our surprise, it has now become one of our favorite stores. After being greeted by Kristopher and enjoying genuine conversation (which doesn't happen all that often in retail anymore) we decided to schedule a suit fitting. On our second trip, we were certainly not disappointed. Wendy helped up get set up and was very patient and informative with the suit material and explaining the process. Chris was precise and knew what we was talking about while taking the measurements. This was by far one of the best experiences with a suit fitting that I have ever had. They have an amazing store with very unique products. Since we came in under budget, my wife also let me buy a vintage safety razor. Great place. Great people. Great experience.

If you're looking for Dandy Clothing, this is the place to go. Dandy's is a locally owned Austin men's clothing store that will knock you off your feet. They have several hand made hats, handmade shoes, shirts, ties, slacks, etc. The owners are very nice and very willing to design you a suit tailored to your specific needs.

Rudi Schulz

While I haven’t taken advantage of their excellent suits yet, I did purchase several bow ties and pocket squares, all of which never fail to get compliments. Thanks!

Brady Hamilton

I needed a suit for my wedding, but was worried that I wouldn't be able to get a custom made suit in time, as my wedding was a month out. They assured me they could get it done, and sure enough, they did. I just picked up my custom dark green beautiful suit this afternoon. The owners were very accommodating and helpful. I will only buy suits from this place and recommend you do as well! Amazing selection and style. Thanks Dandys!

Nicholas Serino

Best men's shop in the country if you want excellent service and and amazing looking suits/shirts/ style advice. Cannot reccent this place enough. P..S. They also are owner/operated by the kindest most accommodating people. COME HERE!

René Castro

Got my wedding suit from here. Fantastic service and great people. The cut is incredible and the quality is the BEST I've ever had in a suit. Go here. It's so worth it.

annie thompson

Just ordered my 3rd suit from Dandy's (Now called Bykowski Tailor & Garb). Their attention to the vintage details of their suits are superb and they always make you feel welcomed with a glass of whiskey ;) Chris and Wendy are Class Acts !!

Riley Bunn

I love this place. For tailors who actually make good custom shirts and suits, there's Liles in Raleigh NC, Mr. Guy in St. Louis, an Austin tailor Vasile Hotnog, and Dandy's. Dandy's has probably the best price and equally excellent service. They also sell my favorite shavers, hair and beard products, and little extra things like the best frankincense in town. I've probably bought 7 shaving kits from them as gifts.

Shaggy Rogers

I love this store! They have everything a man could ever need! Amazingly awesome custom made clothing, all your shaving needs, shoes, hats, and ties. Everything that makes a man look and feel perfect. The perfect gift idea for any man.
