What an experience! My best man and I went in for some custom suits for my wedding and David was amazing! He helped me talk through some ideas and helped us both pick out suited tailored to not only the occasion but our styles. He did all of it while helping me stay within my budget. Honestly, my only regret is not finding David soon in life to have more suits by him! (I will update with photos once all alterations are completed)
First time going the custom made route. I tend to be hard on suits and sport coats with travel and figured it was time to invest in quality, longer lasting pieces that would stand out from the everyday, off the rack options. Working with David was great. Look forward to the next experience.
David and his team are the best partners one can hope for in selecting custom suits, sport coats, shirts and other bespoke items. I have found David to be extremely easy to work with as he has the right combination of listening to my needs, and encouraging me to try something that has historically been out of my comfort zone. As we are returning to office, I had a need for sport coats and a new suit (that could also be used for my daughters wedding) and David of course was able to develop a plan that as usual exceeded my expectations. As a professional who has been buying suits for years, the value David provides in custom clothes exceeds the incremental cost of buying off the rack. I am happy to be a client and will be for years to come.
Thanks for the unique, classy and memorable tux! Received many compliments at the last two formal events I attended. Even my most discerning and fashion-forward friend said best dressed.
Despite a decade of renting tuxes for weddings, I was still clueless as to how to pick out a tux for my own wedding (and every other black tie event I will attend until the end of time). David was incredibly kind and helpful as he shepherded me through the process. I was particularly appreciative that David worked within my budget to put me in a great tux. Im so pleased David and Balani are in Cleveland and I highly recommend paying a visit.
Being 65, its a struggle to find stylish clothes that fit off the rack. David does a great job of providing many fabric options and advice on fabrics that compliment skin tone, body type and personal preferences.Ive purchased several suit / sport coat / pants combinations from David along with dress and casual shirts. I trust David to provide recommendations and steer me away from clothing that doesnt flatter my body type, complexion, etc.BALANI fabrics and construction are high quality and will hold up over time. I enjoy wearing my BALANI gear and have gotten many compliments on my suits and sport coats.Davids expert knowledge, enthusiasm, and attention to detail set him apart from other local clothiers. BALANI goes the extra mile to ensure that you look your best.
Loved everything about the experience!!! David was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about the clothing industry but every topic of conversation. He was energetic, easy to talk to, and showed both me and my wife respect and attention. Buying a Balani suit was hands down one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. No only did he travel to me for the sizing, but he also traveled to me for the fitting.Oh, and the clothing is amazing too. Top quality product. I love my suites, shirts and ties and I will be back. Thanks David!!PS...check out David Tinter on his LinkedIn profile. He posts weekly tips and tricks about the clothing industry. Really cool touch and educational.
My custom suits continue to be top notch quality and look and feel amazing. David is fantastic to work with, highly recommended!!
David truly is a professional talent, his attention to detail is second to none, the service and quality will not disappoint, I couldnt be more pleased
I had a great experience creating my custom Tuxedo for my wedding. David was very attentive and responsive to my requests in (and out) of the studio. The Tuxedo looks and feels great, and is easily the best fitting clothing I own. David worked with me on choice of materials within my budget, but also took the time to explain all of my options. I would recommend Balani to anyone looking for custom, well-fit, and stylish mens clothing. You wont go wrong!
I went to see David for a custom suit for my wedding. The experience was amazing! Every detail was customized to my liking and specification. The custom suit was unbelievable! Please visit David for an awesome custom experience the next time you are looking for a suit!
David was phenomenal and a true professional! Enjoyed the experience and highly recommended
Excellent experience getting my custom suit from Balani in Cleveland. I typically do not dress up, or enjoy it, but David made the experience great. The suit for my wedding ended up being as comfortable as wearing jeans and a t-shirt and got so many comments on the unexpected details. Will definitely be back for the next special occasion.
Great experience ordering my first custom suit. David was very knowledgeable and gave excellent suggestions regarding style, color, and price point throughout the meeting. He was also able to put a rush order so that it will be ready in 1 month for an upcoming wedding that I will attend.
David has been helping me to look my best for over a decade. His deep fashion knowledge coupled with top notch service makes him my go to guy for all fashion related items.I like to dress well but don’t really take the time to understand what goes into it. David educates me and more importantly tells me what works.
David is really helpful in the entire process from establishing the sense of style to taking measurements in order to get the perfect fit and look from the clothing you pick. I loved the experience especially for my first ever time getting tailored clothing. David again helped me out with feeling comfortable with the process that I was new to. Definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a great tailored look!
David was great to work with and delivered on my rush order for my wedding! In addition, the suit is great. The only bad thing is that I will struggle to go back to an off the rack suit ever again. I’ll need to hit the lottery soon! Haha!
David is top notch and a true professional. From the moment you enter his space you feel at home and comfortable. He delivered such high quality custom clothes and the measurements were perfect. The word Custom should be his middle name. Thank you again, David I will be seeing you soon for some more custom suits and sport coats.
David was extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and eager to help create exactly what you are looking for. It is very evident that he takes pride in his work and expects nothing but excellence. 28 measurements taken and clothing made from scratch in Italy did not disappoint. Best-fitting clothing I have ever worn. No comparison to any other experience you will have at a generic Men’s Wearhouse or other common men’s clothing store. Absolutely next-level and you get everything out of it that you pay for.
Every time I go to Balani the customer service and detail is Five Star. Especially if you are an athletically built guy who can’t wear suits off the rack. They’ve done 3 custom suits for me and everyone turned out perfect. I have never went and asked for something from them and had them say “no we can’t do that”.I actually tore the pants in one of my suits once and they repaired it for free in less than a week so I could have it in time for a wedding.David and the team there have always taken good care of me. I’m a customer for life.
David is fantastic! My custom suit and shirt turned out fantastic and he was great to work with in completing the look for my wedding day attire. In addition, he helped me find the perfect pattern, style and fabric for my rehearsal dinner bespoke sports coat. David is a excellent resource and has an abundance of knowledge and advice. My experience at BALANI has thus far been unrivaled. I will be a repeat customer.
I had the pleasure of working with David the other day while trying to figure out what my perfect suit would be. David made sure that I was aware of all of the options but was not pushy to try and make me buy the most expensive suit. He assisted me with creating my first true custom suit and I will never buy another suit anywhere else or from anyone else.
First class, all the way! Working with David was fantastic. He puts you at ease right away, walks you through the process and gives you options that work for your budget. If youre going to take the plunge, and I suggest you do, David will take great care of you.
This was my first time trying custom suits. The experience could not have been better. David Tinter took the time to make me feel like I was his only client. His knowledge and expertise really shows throughout each step of the process. I especially liked that he took the time to get to know me and my situation in order to guide me on which types of suits were best for me. I will definitely be back for additional suits/clothes in the future!
David was very professional and knowledgable when helping me put together a perfect suit for my wedding. Balanis allotment of fabrics were easy to pick from with Davids insight. Not to mention he made a perfect fit for my 67 body frame. Wont be shopping for suits anywhere else!
I’ve had the pleasure to work with David for about 5-6 years. I’ve purchased everything from suits, blazers, sports coats, jeans, shirts, ties and shoes. Whether it’s for business, social outings, or just everyday clothing- I’ve always been impressed by David’s ability to get to know my settings and make home run suggestions. Their service is second to none. There’s nothing better than custom and David is the best!
Would highly recommend! Great personal experience, timeless suits of the best quality
I went to Balani to get a suit for my wedding and it couldn’t have gone better. David Tinter set me up with a custom wedding suit as well as a custom shirt that came out fantastic. High quality materials, comfortable fit and a clear process from start to finish.
Exceptional quality, outstanding service. I feel invincible in my custom shirts and jackets.
This is a great location if you are looking for any formal wear this is hands down the best place to go in Cleveland.David will take care of you professionally and when you finally get your clothes you may not purchase from anywhere else again.
David is fantastic go work with and makes the process of designing custom clothes feel easy.
I had a custom tuxedo made for my wedding. And they did a wonderful job this was probably the best $2000 I spent on any piece of clothing. David at the Cleveland Ohio location was wonderful great customer service. They are all about making their customers happy.😃
David is great to work with. I have used other tailors in town and he’s by far the most straightforward with timeline, price, fabric and overall process.
Moved back to Cleveland and was looking for a “new guy” to update the work wardrobe. David at Balani came highly recommended from a friend and local tailor so I reached out. The hype was real. David is world class and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a “new guy”!
David is amazing! He came to my home and fitted me and my best man for a custom suit for my wedding. He gave me a lot of options for colors, fabric and accessories to go along with it. Words cannot express how much attention to detail went into the tailoring of the suit. From the custom stitching to the liner to the handkerchief and even the buttons it was absolutely perfect. It was made in New York City and delivered within in a very timely manner and fit perfectly when I received it. David followed up multiple times to make sure I was happy and I cannot tell you the number of people that complemented the quality and the look! I will definitely be a repeat customer and I highly recommend David and Balani Custom Clothiers.
Went in for my first #customsuit and David could not have been more helpful! Super nice and answered all my novice questions! Highly recommend
Best place in town for custom made suits. David does an amazing job.
Dave is top notch! Always knows how to balance current fashion with classic/timeless results. Always happy with the results!
Best custom clothing from Cle to NYC. David, carissa and team don’t lead you wrong!
Got my wedding suit done at Balani and I must say I was absolutely stunned by the quality of work and the attention to detail. The custom fit was fantastic and thorough.David took his time to listen to my ideas and helped me come up with an incredible 3 piece suit with both the designs and choice of material.Highly recommend Balani and David!
Big thanks to David Tinter for once again knocking it out of the park on my new custom 3-peice. Details are amazing, from the mother of pearl buttons to the subtle color button hole stitching and phenomenal dragon lining inside the jacket and the back of the vest. Now I just need somewhere to wear it! A custom suit is something I never knew I needed. I recommend David to anyone who is thinking about it. You wont be disappointed. You may even get wine recommendations as a bonus.
I found Balani via them sponsoring a table at The Hunger Network’s Best Party and I’m glad I did! I’ve worked with them over the past few months on a lot of items and they’ve been great to work with. Highly recommend.
David Tinter is the best - I have used a handful of different tailors and he is hands down the best. He stays up on todays trends and keeps you looking your best. He provides his clients with the Triple S!ServiceStyleSatisfaction
Now that my husband has experienced Balani, it would be difficult for him to go back to “off the rack” shopping. His clothes fit so nicely it really makes him look great! He gets compliments all the time. Thanks David!
David is an awesome tailor! I used to buy all my clothes off the rack and didn’t know much about custom fitted clothing. Balani not only has a fashion-forward selection, but David also has a great eye for colors, patterns, styles, etc. that match what I’m looking for. Highly recommend going to him!!!
David is super knowledgeable about his craft and very welcoming. Balani is a high quality boutique and a place I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a high quality suit!
This was my first time getting custom shirts and it was a great experience! I can’t wait to get them and try them on!
David Tinter of Balani came highly recommended by a long time friend and I couldnt be more happy with the experience. He even coordinated with my girlfriend perfectly to plan a wonderful birthday surprise. Davids recommendations were spot on and the entire process has been a lot of fun. The quality of materials and craftsmanship on the finished product are amazing. The fit was perfect and the suit is beyond comfortable. As someone who has a hard time buying off the rack, I wish I would have gone custom sooner. Every man needs a suit, or 7. This one will be far from my last.
I have to say David took “Custom”to a new level. I like to think of myself as someone who critiques everything and adjustments need to be made to perfection. Belani Custom Clothiers is where you will find perfection. David’s customer service was above and beyond and his ability to take his clients wants and needs as well as making recommendations was exceptional. I have to say Belani Custom Clothiers has a customer for life!
David’s service was amazing. The suit and custom shirts I ordered came out perfect! Highly recommend!
Balani Custom Clothiers is the ONLY place I feel comfortable going for high end custom clothing. I am an avid CrossFitter and am too muscular for a off the rack suit. David at Balani is able to tailor me a custom shirt, suit or jacket that fits perfectly. For everyone that may need a top end clothier and custom clothing store there is no where else to shop. David is an absolute professional. He prides himself in having A+ customer service and being a real advocate for his clients to dress sharp.
I went through Balani and specifically worked with David to design a suit for my wedding a few years ago. I was so happy with the quality and fit that I’ve continued to work with him since that time for all of my clothing needs. There really is no comparison between the shirts, jackets and pants that I’ve purchased through Balani compared to the rest of my wardrobe.
David Tinter is the best youll find! Measurements always on point and top notch service.
David Tinter just made the most fantastic car coat for me—perfectly tailored, every detail impeccable! Highly recommend. David is the beat clothier in Northeast Ohio and Balani custom clothes are very high quality.
Though I was skeptical going in -- due a disappointing experience I had at a different custom suit company -- I have to say that working with Alicia at Balani was a dream.Alicia was friendly, unintimidating, and didnt push anything while still offering helpful guidance. Most importantly, she was trustworthy. She would catch little fit things that were off that I didnt even notice at first. It was all these small details that added up to the best fitting and looking suit I could have hoped for. I trust her to tell me when something isnt quite right, as opposed to other places Ive gone that try to convince/sell you that something looks good when it doesnt.I went back to Alicia recently for some cardigans and jeans -- the results were excellent once again.
Balani is a world-class clothier and David Tinter is true professional who brings unique fashion ideas that totally fit my personality and style. I only work with David and Balani when it comes to custom clothes.
David at Balani Custom at Fifth Third Center is the best! Great product and great experience. His depth of knowledge is very helpful. Visiting the store is a nice escape from a troubled world. Will return soon!
BALANI clothing is phenomenal. Perfect fit every time and I ALWAYS get asked about my BALANI clothing when I wear them. The quality stands out and is noticeable to everyone. I highly recommend BALANI!! David Tinter is extremely professional and ensures your custom cloths fit perfect.
David was great and the suit was perfect
David Tinter and his team at Balani are exceptional. David was very professional, listened and offered excellent recommendations. I am thrilled with the style and quality of my suits. I highly recommend working with David Tinter.
Ive been working with David at BALANI for a few years now, and he takes the tailored mens clothing experience to another level. His passion really shines through in everything hes done for me over the years. Hes done classic custom work clothing, wedding jackets, gifts for friends, suits and everything in between, you name it! If youve never worn a custom tailored piece of clothing like they make, youre really missing out!
Had 2 suits made. Alicia spent AGES with me looking over probably every fabric swatch in the shop. Jackets fit great, trousers needed a minor tweak and are now perfect. Nothing like the custom fit. A+ treatment from Alicia!
I’ve worked with David Tinter for many years and have bought many suits, shirts, ties, slacks and sport coats. Balani’s styles are both timeless and current, and David has an amazing eye for colors, patterns and matching up the perfect tie. Everything fits perfectly, every time. If there’s ever an issue (rarely), he’s always on top of it. For anyone who appreciates a tailored fit and is looking for styles that you just can’t find on a “rack”, I strongly suggest you give David a call. He and his team are great to work with. You won’t be disappointed.
It was great working with David. He offered great suggestions and advice when picking out my suits. I am looking forward to my next purchase with him.
This was my first experience with tailored clothing and I couldnt be happier with the recommendation to work with David at BALANI. David came to my office and walked me through the whole process: from the fabric, to its origin, he took my measurements - it was a really special experience.David was extremely communicative during the process - he know I had a deadline to hit and he delivered the suit a week before I needed it.I would definitely work with David again and would definitely go back to BALANI - such a great experience from start to finish.
David has been tremendous to deal with. He always steers me in the right direction, and you will be happy with your purchase. I have been buying suits for work regularly over the years. Balani is the best company I have ever worked with.
The Balani experience is one of my favorites - hands down best custom men’s clothier in Cleveland. I have been shopping with David for a while now - he is not only a genuine stand up guy to work with but he also has an attention to detail that is unprecedented. His vast knowledge of the quality fabrics coupled with the personalized experience he provides makes it impossible to leave unsatisfied.
Could not of been more pleased with the level of service I received in going through this process with David. From coming out to my home for measurements after I needed to reschedule multiple times, to his constant communication and then fitting once the clothes were in, all was exceptional and the quality and fit is second to none. I highly recommend Balani and David for your custom clothing needs.
I have been working with David And Balanicustom for many years. His service level is top notch as well as his ability to find you the perfect clothing combination for your needs. And the fit is always perfect. Do yourself a favor and give him a call. You will not be disappointed.
My Balani experience was top notch. I was looking for a comfortable jacket I could wear on a variety of occasions. David was very professional and did an excellent job sizing and helping me select fabric and style to create the perfect jacket for my needs. Attention to detail was key, as we worked through the various decisions that needed to be made - he even added some extra space in the left wrist for my watch.I was unable to pick the jacket up in person and had it shipped to me. Upon receiving the jacket, I was very pleased how great it looked and fit. This Balani jacket is going to become my new go to favorite.
I went to Balani to get a custom suit for my wedding. I was blown away by the amazing service and experience I had. David did a great job of helping me pick fabrics and capture the look I was going for. I’m extremely happy with how my suit turned out and will be back the next time I need a custom outfit!
I had an outstanding experience from start to finish at the Balani in Cleveland. Alicia was very patient with all my questions and paid attention to every detail. She helped me design a custom suit that will be perfect for my wedding day. I would highly recommend Alicia and Balani if you are in the market for a high quality and relatively affordable bespoke suit.
I worked with David Tinter at Balani while picking out my first custom suit. To say the least he has earned a customer for life. Could not be happier with the final product.
Ive been a customer of Balani and worked with David Tinter for many years. The clothes are fabulous -- in quality, fit, and selection. Dave really knows his stuff -- professional, accommodating, stylish.
David Tinter and his team at Balani are exceptional. True professionals that listen to your needs, make thoughtful recommendations and deliver excellent custom garments with world-class service. Highly recommended.
Go see David Tinter! Always a great experience. Hell provide plenty of guidance and suggestions for those who need it and has great style for any occasion. Its hard to buy other brands of shirts and suits once youve worn Balani.
My first experience at Balani was exceptional. Alicia had samples ready for my wife and I to review when we arrived. She asked a lot of questions and the results were fantastic. The suits I ordered were ready exactly when Alicia promised and all of the small details made a huge difference. Well definitely go back when were ready for more.
In a world of often lukewarm customer service, purchasing a suit here was an amazing experience. David patiently walked me through all of my options, assisting in selection and coordination for a custom piece that frankly blew my mind. The workmanship is top notch, and the fit is perfect.David I cant thank you enough. Amazing work.
I have been telling myself for years “I need to have a bespoke suit”, and I could not possibly be happier with the results! I showed Alicia some pictures to illustrate the look I prefer. Not only did she pick up on it, but she exceeded my expectations for how well the suit came out. I look forward to getting all and more of my suits from Balani and Alicia!
Carissa Abele has been helping me for 5 years to select the best styles and colors. I’ve purchased shirts, suits and sport coats from Balani and I’ve been very happy with the quality every time.
David exceeded my expectations. I had a bad experience with a competing custom clothier in the past. David spent time making sure I would be satisfied. I am not an easy fit....He truly was consultative in his approach. We even discussed materials that are best for my style and function.Also, their office is a perfect place to get comfortable and relax. Friendly atmosphere.A custom shirt and suit fits like no other. It is definitely a game changer. ESPECIALLY for my big and tall friends.
They were great. Alicia was great and very hands on. She helped me pick items that I loved. A few of my items required alterations, but when they came back everything was perfect. Also Haley was wonderful. She added an extra eye and I appreciated it.
David is incredible to work with. I am thrilled with the style and quality of my fiancés new custom suit!
David Tinter is truly an amazing guy. He has always advised me on the right pieces to build my work wardrobe.
David is exceptional with his attention to detail and customer service. Personalization from start to finish. Quality clothing that when worn makes a difference in your day to day confidence. Everyone should try at least one tailored suit, shirt or pant.
Alicia was great an nailed my fit! They stand by their product, and will ensure that you are satisfied with the fit and quality of your garments. You just cant beat a suit made to fit you. I will certainly continue to be a Balani customer.
David Tinter did an Excellent Job on the suit fit out! Great Company to work with- I would highly recommend working with David @ Balani!
Kaylin Howell has been a true pleasure to work with. Her professionalism and attention to detail is second to none. We just received our first order of completed Balani suits, jackets shirts and pants and couldn’t be more pleased. I can’t imagine ever walking into another men’s store and thankfully, we won’t have to!
Im getting married in October 2018 and was looking around Cleveland for custom suit shops. I came across Balani custom clothiers through a google search and decided to check it out. From the message I sent them through their website, the response was immediate. Alicia was fantastic in helping me get my wedding suit. I showed her a picture of what I wanted the suit to look like, she took my measurements and the suit just arrived today, way faster than I expected! The was a perfect fit the first time! no alterations needed. I should also mention that everyone I met at the showroom is extremely professional, accommodating and classy. From her recommendations to making herself always available to answer questions, Alicia has been fantastic. I highly recommend this place for your custom suit needs.
Earlier this year I decided to buy some custom clothes for the first time and was referred to Alicia with Belani in Cleveland by a coworker. Alicia made the entire experience very pleasant. She is very responsive to email, text messages or phone calls and always flexible and accommodating to schedule a meeting. I really like the fit and look of their suits and sports jackets and the custom shirts are fantastic. Ive now gone back 3 times this year to buy more items and look forward to continue working with them in the future.
Kaylin Howell is awesome. She took the time to get to know my style and my wants. When my suits arrived she made sure they fit perfectly and they did! Couldnt be happier with the suits and her! She crushed it!
I have to tell say how impressed both my son and I were with Kaylins ability to “read people”, she made our whole weekend trip from Canada so easy and stress free.It was a memorable experience.
Amazing quality and top shelf customer service. Wish I had my suits made here long ago! Alicia was tremendous from beginning to end. I will be back!
Alicia did an amazing job in assisting me in selecting options and styles. The quality and final fit are outstanding. Great job again.
Truly an unbelievable fit. Have never had a suit fit me this well. My wife is more impressed with me than she ever has been!
Best suits ever and David is fantastic in terms of coordinating suits, shirts, ties, working around your schedule and delivering as promised! When all is said and done these custom made suits cost about the same as the ones youd buy off the rack. The decision to go with Balani is really very simple. Great product, great service and competitive pricing. This is my second time buying suits from David and wouldnt think of buying suits from anyone else.
Silly to shop anywhere else. Kaylin was warm, professional, knowledgeable, and at the top of her game. Endlessly recommend from my 3rd round of suits
Canceled my appointment, without consulting me prior. Will be taking my business to another more reputable company nearby.
