D L Cerney

So sad to see that they have closed down

DL Cerney was doing MAD MEN before MAD MEN became a word in our cultural lexicon. He is the designer, tailor, and storefront keeper of this little boutique. All are creations by the man himself — DL Cerney.
Store sells MEN and WOMEN’S CLOTHING. Vintage-​inspired w/​a modern twist. Sumptuous fabrics and well-​made. Stitching and tailoring is impeccable.
Yes, I bought a $ 350 dress. But it FITS like a glove and he tailored it to my length. If you want an outfit that exudes «classic» and commands a look that instantly recalls a time when men were gentlemen by escorting a lady by walking on the outside, between her and the street, of the sidewalk; and women were ladies in white gloves and pearls, then I strongly suggest you spend your $ 200 here and NOT at Neiman Marcus, Saks 5^th Ave, and Bloomingdale’s.
DL Cerney doesn’t oversell the products, either. He lets the clothes «speak» for themselves.
The next time I’m in NYC and if I have the $$$, I’ll certainly go back. Times are tough and independent clothier shops like DL Cerney, MEG, etc. are a dying breed — please support the small business-​owner by purchasing these beautiful, truly MADE-​in-​AMERICA products.

In my view this is the best clothing shop in Manhattan. My closet is filled with their shirts and dresses and I get major compliments no matter what I wear from DL Cerney. Great family running it together too. How rare is that today? Run, don’t walk. Impeccable work as another Unilocaler said, that is the perfect word.

Beautifully designed clothing for men and women, impeccably made – the detail is breathtaking, and the fabrics! I’m so excited to have stumbled upon this treasure! Because even Barneys’s become just another brand outlet. You won’t find ready to wear like this anywhere! I dream of ditching my closet contents and starting over at D.L. Cerney.

I love my swing coat from D L Cerney. I stumbled on the shop when I needed directions to a nearby theater. The gentleman was very kind, patiently providing me the directions I needed. Looking around, I loved everything. Natural fibers and classic designs. It was expensive for me, but I bought the swing coat and have enjoyed it for two years now. I always receive compliments on it. The coat is a wonderful touchstone, reminding me of a special encounter when I felt lost and a kind man helped me.

Beautiful, classic (comfortable!) pieces that are well made and well worth the price. The dress I bought fits like it was tailored just for me. I get compliments on it whenever I wear it, and it’s versatile enough to wear to the market with sandals or out for cocktails with dressed up accessories. Wish I lived closer, but it’s probably best for my checking account that I don’t.

Today, THE DL Cerney personally handpicked 6 dresses for me to try on.
I am in love.
Vintage, comfortable, beautiful.
When was the last time you felt cotton satin? Dear lord, I never wanted to leave. Every paycheck I get I am going to save one quarter of the portion to go to DL Cerney’s and slowly collect a fabulous wardrobe.

This place is AWESOME. If you a girl or guy who yearns for that classic late 1940s– 50s style (and have a decent budget), then you should head on over here. I bought a GORGEOUS sundress there yesterday and the woman who was working couldn’t have been nicer (she reminded me a little of Diane Weist’s character, Peg Bog, from Edward Scissorhands). A gem!

If I ever get rich off my Unilocal reviews, I plan to buy a new wardrobe here.
