These are the pages where I indulge my personal crusade of improving the standards and understanding of dressing for men of all tastes and styles. I have made my many years of experience and expertise available for all to benefit from, not just those that have purchased our products. I am open to suggestions so please tell me if there is something else you'd like to see here. I can't promise anything but if it's feasible and I like the idea then I may very well make the effort (I like to make this site as interesting and as useful as possible).

 TESTIMONIALS:

• Dr. Steven Decker - Emergency Medicine, Riverside Medical Center, Kankakee, Il. 
  "Impeccable attention to detail. Superb tailoring. Jeff has a very "hip" sense of style, which he is able to individualize to his clients needs."  
   
• Mr. Joe Martin - Business consultant for S & P 500 Food Services Corporation, Boston, MA.
  "What I really like about working with Jeff is his understanding that business starts with the relationship first and business second. His acute commitment to communication and in-depth understanding of the products he carries is what closed the deal for me. As someone who is into top notch fabrics and construction, I understand the value of owning top quality clothing - so does Jeff. With all of the local and internet choices available, it's easy to understand how he carries a national customer base."

• Mr. Mark Bradford - National Sales Manager, German based mechanical corp. Mundelien, Il.

Selection, fitting, style, materials and customer service of the highest caliber? I do. Now more than ever. Raymond Levine will give you that experience. From Jeff's uncanny ability to give you what you want in the correct size the first time he sees you, to the family style treatment you receive. It's not their mission statement. Its the way they do business. You cant fake that atmosphere. You will never be disappointed. They will not allow it. GO! NOW. Your wait for the ultimate shopping experience is over. Thanks Jeff and Bev !"


• Mr. David Ingram - Communication and Client-Relations Specialist, Vancouver, WA. "Before I started shopping at Raymond Levine, I could say without hyperbole that more than half of the money that I was spending on clothes was a complete waste. Now, I have a wardrobe with depth, versatility and style. Jeffrey Glick has a keen eye for quality design and construction, but just as importantly, he and his team are experts at putting it all together in a very personalized way. If you have found yourself frequently staring into your closet in quiet desperation, wondering what on earth you're going to wear to go out into the world, then you should call Raymond Levine."  
   
• Mr. Phillip A. Kosanovich - Business Development Specialist, Homewood, Il. 
  "Dear Jeff -
  Thank you for recognizing the reasons for Raymond Levine's success, and for preserving those attributes while managing its growth. My sons are the fourth generation of loyal Raymond Levine customers. My grandfather bought his suits from your grandfather, and my dad from your dad.  My confirmation suit was purchased at Raymond Levine, as was the tuxedo for my sons wedding. Both of my sons got their first suits at RL; and you and your great staff helped my oldest build his wardrobe as he began his legal career. You continue to keep available the latest in men's fashions to both my sons and myself, and you and your staff know each of our personal tastes. Being a Raymond Levine client is being part of another family. Over the years I have become friends with your sales staff, your tailors, and your office personnel. All are are on a first name basis with each other, and with your clients. The personal care you all show, and have continually given over the years, is a testament to the Raymond Levine story. Thanks for letting my family be a part of it.
  Warmest regards,
  Phil Kosanovich"

TAILORING:

Let's talk about the art of tailoring at Raymond Levine. Known nationally for it's precision, quality and dedication to the 100% satisfaction of the customers, Raymond Levine's tailor shop and it's staff take the utmost in pride in their craft from fitting to cutting, then sewing, and finally pressing each and every garment that goes through the shop.  We regret having to let many folks know that they may wish to retire their garment.  We are honest to a fault, forsaking the proceeds from that alteration by letting you know the 'real' story.

Our European trained tailors take painstaking time with the salespeople to make absolutely certain that nothing during the fitting or custom measuring process was missed. We measure to the exact centimeter, as we are European by training, and most of our clothing is made on the metric scale. Hence, our accuracy is second to nobody in Chicagoland. We stand by that promise. Our shop is a hand tailored shop, all of the work is done stitch by stitch, button by button, and lapel by lapel. Then a final quality control inspection is performed by the finisher so as to ensure your complete satisfaction when you pick up your garment. In rare circumstances, if an adjustment need be made, we do it while you relax in our comfortable environment with a cup of coffee or water offered to help the time pass. You are our priority. Don't hesitate to call to inquire towards meeting your deadline or just what you wish for. Nancy, Angelina, Caterina, or Gust are waiting to serve you when you need them!

A dry cleaning bag for each  garment from your cleaners, which shows our shop that you garment is clean, is required as stated in the taiior shop bylaws. Please call ahead at 815.464.5766 to check for time availability. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
