Was looking for the perfect gift for my friend's 40th birthday. I wanted to get him a nice pocket square but had no idea how to go about it. Ivan was the nicest and walked me through the whole selection! I had fun browsing, and in the end I picked out a beautiful silk pocket square that my friend was over the moon for. Great experience!

I was needing a suit for my wedding coming up and the store provides quite a variety of options at varying price points. Kenneth greeted me right away and walked me through the options they had. He listened to my input and used it to steer me through his wealth of knowledge to the right suit. A consummate professional.

My fiancé purchased a custom suit for our wedding and we were very impressed with the service and knowledge of Anthony Mikhael. Anthony answered all of our eccentric questions and helped prevent us from making every fashion faux pas possible. The suit took about a month to be tailored, fit like a glove once completed and made my fiancé look like a million bucks. This place in top notch in every way and highly recommended!

Ivan is amazing. Had a great experience with him. I went in for a final fitting right before moving and needed some final adjustments. Ivan offered to ship them up to where I was moving at no cost and even provided a complimentary adjustment for another item of clothing I had brought in. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and very thorough. Throughout the whole process he kept me updated via email, even providing tracking numbers so I could find out when I would be receiving my items. Great experience all around!

My now husband wanted a custom suit for our December wedding and Capra &Cavelli was the first place we went. From the time we walked into the store everyone was nice and welcoming. We are so glad to have met Buddy who helped us with every detail. Buddy is so friendly and spent time with us making sure the suit was perfect and we love it!

I can't say enough about this place and Ken and would highly recommend!! They have a great selection of menswear and each item is chosen with style and quality. On top of that, the service is top notch when with Ken. He is always very patient, listens attentively and will ensure that things are beyond satisfaction. He has great communication, follow up and follow through - and that is something that is very unique in the clothing world today - thus very appreciative and happy with amazing menswear. I can't wait to see what will be my next purchase!

This is a long overdue review of a purchase made at Capra and Cavelli a month and a half ago, during which I received exemplary service from Ivan. I should also note that I received courteous welcomes from the other staff any time I have visited.
I like nice clothes that are well made and well fitted, and this store is the go-to clothier in Austin for quality work and wide selection, and the professionalism - the level of service offered at C&C is impeccable. They are consultative, not pushy, and know that if you get even a few things you love, you will be back, so they focus on your needs and

Came across this place sort of by random looking for a unique suit for my upcomming wedding. My fiance and I walked in and met a guy working there named Buddy Estrella. The guy knows his stuff! made us feel welcome and comfortable and spent at least an hour and a half going over all kinds of details with us in order to create an amazing custom suit.
Customer service didn't stop there though. I received several follow up emails and calls to keep me up to date on how the suit was coming. then had not 1 but 2 seperate fitting with him so get could make minor adjustments so the suit came out

Best men's store in Austin in terms of service and offerings. After striking out at Stag, Nordstroms, Nieman Marcus and Ralph Lauren, I went to C&C on a Sunday afternoon and walked away with a sports coat, two shirts and a pair of pants for half of the price of a single jacket I tried on at Nieman Marcus. The quality of C&C is great - good, classic men's styles. The customer service is always great, I was given solid service and even offered a beer while I shopped. Rene was great.

Victor Celania - Midtown staff recommendation
All of the staff has been extremely helpful every time I have visited the Jefferson street store, but Victor shared insights into what styles generations of men are wearing today. Because of his suggestions, I selected a shirt that was very different from what I originally intended to buy.
Not everyone volunteers information so freely, and this, along with his impeccable taste, makes Victor's assistance extremely valuable to me. In the future, I intend to time my visits to this store to ensure Victor is there.

We came here to have a suit made and the service was fantastic. Victor was extremely helpful and fun! He helped create a wardrobe that was desperately needed and did it in a way that conscious of both current styles and individual preference. He's been great every time we've gone back to pick up orders and always makes sure that everything is just right. We will definitely come back for more custom items!

Victor was excellent at helping this style-inept groom pick out the perfect custom suit for a beautiful wedding! We will cherish our wedding pictures for years to come, so a well-fitting dapper suit was necessary. One that also fit my personality and allowed me to express my individual style and really stand out, well that was aboveboard. Granted, the stunning bride redirected the attention to her beautiful, glamorous dress, but together, we looked amazing. For a guy that wears dirty boots, beat up jeans, and plaid most days, that is a heck of an accomplishment. Thanks Victor!

Buddy is simply the best. Knowledgeable, patient and courteous, Buddy was terrific. Also, lots of people mentioned the great experience with custom suits, but I walked in and said, "I have $800 to spend; can you help me out?" And Buddy sure did. He explained the way the suits are made and the differences in quality and price. I will never shop at Men's Warehouse again. This place is the best.

It's just under two weeks till my wedding and I try on my suit, which was purchased from men's warehouse. After staring at myself in the mirror, for what seemed an eternity, I came to the realization that I did indeed look like a butler. My lovely betrothed was going to marry someone who resembles Mr. Belvedere.
No way Jose Canseco, I'm going to look great for the big day and everyone will tell me as such. So off to the google machine I go, in desperate search of an establishment that knows what they are doing. Capra & Cavelli screamed at me from the deep, dark corners of Yelp

We can here for a tuxedo for my fiance for our wedding. We came in once for to choose the tuxedo, vest, and shirt and follow up with another fitting. The finished product was outstanding.
The service here is impeccable. Buddy helped pick out everything and get the absolute perfect fit. I cannot recommend this place enough. Do yourself a favor and go to the best of the best when it matters. C&C is a true gem. :)

My mans came here with ZERO knowledge about suits, and in a few months time he walked out with a suit that couldn't have fit him better and an experience that he will never want to replace. Come here and you better get a hold of VICTOR because you will NOT regret it. Victor is not only extremely professional and knowledgeable about his suits, but he is also VERY easy to get along with and his charming personality will keep you wanting to come back and see him. Not a joke. =) He is not pushy at all and is very patient and enthusiastic.

If I were asked to recommend a fabulous clothing store, I would not hesitate to say Capra & Cavelli.
I've never written a positive review for this type of store because I've never had much success at them. Being a jeans and T-shirt kind of guy, I'm the book that is judged by its cover when I walk in. Talk about leaving a bad taste in one's mouth.
However, every now and then I need to "fancy" up for a special occasion, and when I do, I want to look my absolute best. Enter Capra & Cavelli.
When you go here, ask for Buddy Estrella. Here is a wonderful man

How I wanted to like C&C...
I have written before about how much I liked this store but recent experience has taught me to save my time (and money) and shop elsewhere.
Earlier this year I bought some trousers and had them tailored to fit my height. These were very nice and cost me twice what I've ever paid for pants before. "Its an investment" I told myself, "you've got to look good for work."
The pants were great for about four months. Recently though the hem in one of the legs gave out. Odd since I only wear these sparingly and just for work, but whatever
