Luca Falcone

This is a men’s custom tailor.
Food: N/​A
Service: The salesman was very professional and my wait was minimal. I went here to be fitted for a vest for my brother’s wedding. I must admit I have very little experience with such places, as they are typically outside my price range and I normally purchase used or premade/​sized formal wear. The vest was produced and sent within a reasonable time, far ahead of the wedding. It was of high quality, and I still use it regularly. 4 stars
Facilities: Nestled in the Lower Garden District end of Magazine street, this storefront utilizes the existing architecture with a bit of faux antiquing to give it a polished look. The signage is understated, but with the high-​end products and services here, that is perfect for the setting. Ingeniously, they had me fitted near the floor-​to-​ceiling front windows, which in and of itself is, I believe, an excellent way to subtly market as well. 4 stars
Overall: 4 stars (above average) I am loathe to rate a place 5 stars with so little experience with such a place under my belt, but I suggest you at least shop there for men’s fine formal wear in New Orleans.

This is my first custom tailored suit, and I have to say it was a great experience. Don was most helpful, and very patient with me not knowing much about suits, style or material. He was very thorough and addressed every concern about how a suit should fit. I have a feeling this won’t be my last suit from them and I look forward to my next visit. I didn’t find it pricey nor did I feel pressured into getting something I didn’t want. I will say if you’re in a hurry to get something, then go somewhere else, because this kind of quality and attention to detail takes time!

There was a time when a man would go to a tailor to get a suit made, Luca Falcone is a trip back in time where style and fit mattered. A small boutique clothing store located on the trendy part of Magazine Street is just where you would expect to find this bespoke tailor shop to be located.
When you walk in, you can feel the attention to detail in quality everywhere you look. I had the opportunity to deal with my personal clothier, Don Moore. Within minutes I was being led down a personal dream of mine of having the material, cut and design of handmade suits guided by a man who is a master of his craft. They had me bring in a personal coat that I had tailored somewhere else and immediately started pinch and pulling at the deficiencies in my coat and gathering the proper measurements for my new ones. I was amazed at how ill-​fitting my «favorite» suit coat was actually was designed.
I was soo impressed by my new found friend that I quickly ordered two suits two extra pants and 6 dress shirts for my new «suit of armor». It took a bite out of my AMEX card, but nothing exudes confidence like a bespoke suit. After a few hours, my measurements were taken, materials were chosen and a second fitting was scheduled a month in advance.
I was reminded that there would be a few more fittings before my suits would be ready, but I can’t wait to get them and donate my closet full of mediocracy when I get home. Suits start at $ 700.00 and is not much more than I pay for an off the rack suit after i have them tailored. The suits come with free alterations for the life of the suit and depending on your budget, your choices are only limited by your willingness to pay for it.
Parking can be a bear, so make sure you time your visit during the off hours and put aside at least two hours if you are being measured.

COMPLETE AMATEURS at both custom tailored clothing and customer service!
I came in to get a custom-​made shirt. I was measured by a man named Don who was friendly enough. The price of the shirt was $ 180. I don’t mind paying that for a well-​made piece of custom clothing. But I told him very specifically that I liked my shirts to fit me tightly. He said he was measuring for that. He told me the shirt would take 4 – 6 weeks to arrive.
THREE MONTHS passed and the shirt had not arrived. I called the shop and was told it would be there shortly. Another few weeks passed and I called again. I had to be in San Francisco for a couple months for business, so I asked him to ship it to San Francisco since it had taken twice as long as I was told to arrive. Don insisted on me paying the $ 30 shipping fee, despite the fact that he had been so erroneous in his calculations to begin with. When you pay $ 180 for a shirt, you expect a certain level of customer service that this place clearly does not understand.
When the shirt finally arrived, it was extremely loose fitting and baggy. Either Don’s measurements were off or the manufacturer did not adhere to them. This shirt is unwearable under any of the fitted suits that I wear and further unwearable without a blazer because it’s not 1996 anymore and nobody is interested in a shirt like this.
I immediately called and spoke to a manager named Phil who told me that I could return the shirt and they would refund my money (cause who wants to deal with a place this incompetent anymore). Then, a day later, Phil emailed me and refused to accept the shirt or refund my money, instead offering to have ME pay for shipping back to New Orleans so that he could have the shirt altered to fit my measurements correctly. It’s so loose and baggy that each piece would have to be COMPLETELY re-​cut to fit me correctly.
I want nothing to do with this business and unless you want to waste your money on clothes that don’t fit with amateurish customer service, you would be better off going somewhere more reputable. Luca Falcone is the epitome of New Orleans incompetence.
Furthermore, if you look a little closely at their positive reviews on this site, there are 3 of them written by friends of the business. It’s THAT obvious because they’re written by women. It’s a men’s custom clothing store which requires men to be present for the fitting. So the notion that a woman would shop here for a man and then be the one to post a review — that’s rather suspect to me. Looks like they’re trying to boost their Unilocal ratings…

After all, we were able to sort things out.

Bespoke (made-​to-​measure) suiting from $ 700‑3000. $ 700 starting point is super reasonable for a custom suit, no? How cool!
They can custom embroider say, the date of your wedding on the inside of you jacket. They work with you to design every detail of your suit.
The dude and I were so excited after we left here we had to convince ourselves to calm down and be rational. He says «no way» on getting his groom suit here because knowing us we will end up at the max end of the price range, but little does he know I’m saving up to surprise him.
Come here — even the most non-​clothes-​horse type of guy will be wowed and want to participate in the process.
Don’t be intimidated to come in, sales guy was really great and they aim to be accessible to various budgets.

New name is Luca Falcone. Awesome custom clothiers. These guys really know their craft! A must stop in New Orleans!

Before «Suit & Tie”-era JT brought spiffy duds back into pop culture fashion — or at least solidified the movement — this sexy boutique nailed the «young grownup» lifestyle brand. Men’s and women’s clothing and accessories pair sophistication with a bit of vintage funk. The triumph is in the cohesiveness — this place is a veritable walk-​in closet of retro cool. I scored my favorite hat, a floppy wide-​brimmed number, while picking up a flask for a friend: among the nicest I’ve ever seen, engraved, with stainless steel grip and a compartment that opened to house cigarettes. This is Brooks Brothers for Gen X/​Y — classic, timeless, and still somehow on trend.

This place is a step into the past. It’s a small boutique clothing store located on the trendy part of Magazine Street and it oozes with style. Posters of Sean Connery as James Bond and Humphrey Bogart as Rick from Casablanca line the walls. Men can find shirts, suits, sports coats, ties, wallets, flasks, hats and shoes. Women can find dresses and other stylish things (though to be honest I wasn’t paying attention to the women’s section.)
You can go here and have a personal shopper in the same way you would at say Nordstroms or some big department store, but somehow it feels more intimate here. If you’re lucky enough to run into Laura while you’re there (which you likely will) she’ll treat you right.
