Karako Addresses Key Market Need
Karako Suits (KS) does fill a key market need for men who need decent suits on a limited budget. Although they do offer a KS Custom Suit Division, Karako Suits is best as a budget-priced clothing option in the NY/NJ/LI Metro Area. If you were a SYMS shopper, you should recognize the Karako store...minimal frills, lots of selection and a Tailor is typically on-site for alterations. The KS Sales Staff works on commission, but they are not hard-sellers, at least the ones that I encountered. You may want to use your local tailor for alterations, as I do, since I am harder to fit. You'll find racks of off-shore produced suits, grouped by chest size, price points and materials (Poly, Wool Blends, 100% Wool). There are promotional specials that include "free" Suits and Accessories...take advantage. You'll see some "flashy" fabric colors & patterns, but the styling is generally contemporary...mostly side-vent, peak lapel suits with flat-front pants. Focus on the proper tailoring, and you can find a $300 KS suit, with alterations, that could pass as an $800 suit.
