Joe Zemo is a "different" kind of guy. He is not your expected pleasant mildly obsequious tailor. If anything he's a bit of the opposite. He is opinionated and often loud and even may appear to some to be arrogant. He really isn't, he cares about his clients and their appearance. He has definite opinions but he is very often right, and he will do right by you. His main business is formal wear rentals but he has a made to measure service which is very good. And he utilizes very good companies to produce his piece goods. I have never done a suit with him but I would imagine it would be a successful project. I am overall pleased with my experience with shirts and trousers. Don't let the mid-60s (mid-50s?) look of the shop or Joe's demeanor stop you. If you are pleasant to him he will be to you, even if at times he remind you of a football or basketball coach. He maybe the only old-style men's clothing store left in Stamford, and he is with a visit.

Joe came in the clutch for a wedding I had to attend that was a black tie affair. I called up Zemos on a Monday and picked up the tux on Friday, ready for the wedding on Saturday. The whole experience was great. Joes got character and makes the whole experience quick. Because of the compliments I received on the tux, Joes personality, timing and professionalism, I recommend this place to anyone that needs a tux rental.

I've been using Zemo for nearly 20 years and will keep going as long as I have the need. Joe knows his business and keeps the store stocked with great quality clothing.

The owner boarders on the edge of insanity. I have never experienced someone that rude with that much distain for his customers. The whole experienced was rushed with no one else in the store. I had an electric scooter with me which I use to get to and from work, and he told me to “leave that Chinese bomb up stairs” before taking me down to where the ties were. I’d rather spend twice as much at Joseph A Bank.Update: this guy says that he doesn’t sell ties, yet he has pictures of ties on his past reviews! I bought a black tie from him and trust me, he had plenty. I wonder what else he lies about?

In a time when business relationships have boiled down to id numbers and screen names and customer service has dwindled to automated messages, businesses and business owners consider building relationships with customers a remnant of the past. Joe Zemo (owner of Zemo Men's Store) defies the status quo. He has many years of experience within the field of men's fashion and his custom clothing along with his customer service remains unmatched. He will fit guys by measuring them properly with a tape measure, and he will explain every aspect of a suit so that his customers will: 1) gain knowledge as a result of working with him, and, 2) look and feel great in his custom clothes. Guys, if you care about the way that you present yourselves, then talk to Joe about purchasing his custom clothes. He has fair prices and will give you what you want. In addition to all of that, Joe will take the time to familiarize himself with his customers and over time (if people continue to purchase clothes from him) they will find that visits to his store will remind them of sitting at the dinner table on Sundays with good food, good drink, and good company.

Definitely nice store. Owner was very rude. I really dont care if you own the store. Dont be a butt hole. Me looking to purchase and asking from him how his services worked made him feel that I was being defensive. He immediately stated that I didn't like him or the way he runs his business. I even tried to apologizing to deescalate the issue. Told me That I could go to Mens warehouse lol. I Could of definitely saved the hour travel coming to this store. Very rude man. Peace and love.

I was in town for a wedding and in a pinch after having a bag lost and the team at Zemo’s took great care of me! Fantastic service.

Joe’s a good guy. He can be a little bit of a “ball buster” sometimes. But he is allowed to run his business however he wishes. Try to be a good sport about it - he’ll take good care of you.

This type of bespoke service you simply don't find anymore. Zemo gives you 1 on 1 expert attention and you will always look your best. Not you mention you can't beat the price.

If your looking to look good Zemos is the spot for you!! Due to COVID I had a small wedding in 2020 and a larger one in 2021. joe did an amazing job for both! He made me an awesome custom suit for 2020 with custom shirts to match that fit like a glove! For 2021 he had all the groomsmen looking top notch with beautiful new blue suits. He gives great advice and makes sure everyone suits fits perfect! I highly recommend bringing your business here!

Amazing suits! I came in one day before my prom to rent a suit and he was still able to provide amazing service with great hospitality. This is the only place I will buy from and strongly recommend to anyone!

Great experience, Mr.Zemo is the man. Went to get a suit last minute, he got me one when other stores couldn’t do anything for me. This is the place to go.

I went to Zemo's in Stamford with my 17 year old son to pick up his suit for the prom. I walked into the rental shop and it looked as if you walked into a time warp from 1969, very dated, but that was not the problem. As we waited to be served by the one man shop, I heard him talk rudely to 3 teenagers also about 17 years of age,"wait there you schmucks " which surprised me that the owner would call a customer a schmuck ! When it came to our turn I told the owner of the shop I would like for my son to try on the suit and shirt and that is when he became rude to us. He told my son to be careful with the hem when putting on the pants and he became very nasty when he had to redo the pants leg hem-it seems they fell down when he tried the pants on. I could hear him in the back room complaining out loud to himself! I then stated to him if your hem can't hold by just trying on the pants how will hold up at the prom night! He became very rude and nasty and was talking down to me in front of my son ! This is not the way an owner of a shop should talk to their customers. I would never recommend this shop to anyone!

Joe went well beyond the call of duty. Our 3 year old grandson who was the ring bearer in my sons wedding received his tux from an online concern. It was a disaster. The tux did not fit. In fact it was grossly oversized. After two attempts to correct the situation with very little success and a very lame reaction from their online customer service team I called Joe to ask if he could help us. He said bring him down to the store and I will see what I can do. He sized him up perfectly with one of his tuxes and he looked great. Joe saved the day at the very last minute. If you want quality and outstanding customer service go to Zemo's and let Joe help you with your important celebrations. This is a person that will always be in your corner. Joe my family thanks you so much!
