Dil at Scogna was fantastic, he helped me out in a pinch. He gave a well fitting tux with all the bells and whistles the altercations were wonderful. Would recommend highly!

Best tailor I’ve ever visited. If you want quality and experience this is the spot. Never take your suit/blazer/slacks to an inexperienced tailor. History and craftsmanship at this place, old-school knowledge with a modern and elegant approach.

Dil is exceptional at his craft. He has always been friendly and welcoming, and has always exceeded my expectations. He has worked on jeans/pants, outerwear/rain jackets, dinner jackets, suits, and dresses for me and my girlfriend, and we are both consistently impressed with the quality of his work. Whether it is a next-day alteration on a tight timeline or a custom suit/tuxedo, Dil is my go-to guy, and I will continue to give him my business in the future.

I needed a tux on a week’s notice and Dil did a great job helping me. The tux looks great and the alterations fit perfectly. He helped talk me through some of the alteration details (this is my first tux) to make sure I’d feel comfortable and look good. I can definitely recommend Scogna and will be returning for future alterations and maybe even some custom pieces.

Dil cheated me and lied to my face about it:I'm sorry to have to report that Dil, the tailor and I think owner of Scogna Formal Wear, perpetrated a fraud by switching out the Ralph Lauren tuxedo I purchased from him last Wednesday and giving me a completely different After Six tuxedo when I went to pick it up (after he was supposed to alter it) last Friday. I didn't realize it until I put on the tux for an event Saturday night and it was clearly a different (and much worse) tuxedo.I cannot be more clear. I purchased one tuxedo. He measured me in this tuxedo for alterations. Then, 2 days later, he handed me a completely different tuxedo without saying a word about it. I can be 100 percent sure this was not an accident. When I confronted Dil about this today, he admitted he had switched them. He said he had decided after I left that the first tux (Ralph Lauren) was too big for me and this one (After Six) was better. Later in our conversation, he changed his story and said it was a mistake. Then, he switched back and claimed he did it because the After Six tux was better (which isn't true).It took me 30 minutes of arguing before Dil refunded my money. I have an audio tape of the entire conversation so Dil cannot contest anything I'm writing here. He lied and changed his story and then profusely apologized. He only gave me my money back after 30 minutes of arguing and pleading, offering to give me free stuff, etc. I told him I didn't want anything from him but my money back.This store has been in DC for decades and lots of famous people seem to trust Dil. I won't tell anyone what to do, but this was my experience and it was a terrible one. I will never trust Dil or patronize his business again.Josh Rogin

I wish I could give Dil 10 stars. He is hands down the best tailor in DC. His work is stunning. He perfectly tailored my tux jacket, which needed a ton of work, and he thought of an elegant and clever solution to lengthen my sleeves (multiple tailors told me the work would be impossible; Dil proved them all wrong). What's more, he did it all on extremely short notice, and at a very reasonable price. I will never, ever go anywhere else for my garment needs. Neither should you.

I remember that I arrived without a reservation and without calling, I had gone to a place before and the price was exaggerated and ridículos, It was my first time looking for a tailor in DC and I was soooo disappointed. But, I was lucky to find Mr. Dil in the same sector, he fixed two of my wedding dresses and everything was perfectly done! He is really kind and fast doing his job.Service: Wedding gown alterations

I came in to Scogna looking for a modern skinny bowtie. He had none, but proposed that I buy one of his and he would alter it in less than an hour to be exactly what I wanted. I took him up on the offer and he delivered. Excellent service, would recommend to anyone.Service: Alterations

Mr. Dil was so kind in taking a very last minute dress alteration! The dress I was supposed to wear to a wedding did not come on time so I had to buy a new one and went to Mr. Dil to alter it. He was so kind and friendly and seemed great at his craft!Services: Dress alterations

I recently had the pleasure of working with Dil, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of excellent. Dil helped me select the perfect tuxedo for my upcoming event, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Not only is Dil friendly and personable, but he's also incredibly knowledgeable and able to provide expert advice on all things tailoring. His attention to detail is truly impressive, and it shows in the final product. The fit of my tuxedo was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend Dil to anyone in need of a tailor. Thank you, Dil, for your outstanding service.Service: Suit tailoring

I had a great experience at Scogna. Mr. Dil really did a great job making alterations to my tuxedo. He even notice some slight stitching errors by the manufacturer and kept my suit for a little longer to fix it for no charge! He did a great job and even left me with some tuxedo studs to go. I’ll make sure to go back any time I need an alteration.Services: Alterations

Dil is amazing! He tailored the first suit I ever owned for a new job, and I’ve been going to see him ever since. He has your order ready on time (always) and has very reasonable prices. There is nowhere else in DC that I would go- Dil is the best.Services: Dress alterations
