Karako Suits offers high class at a reasonable cost

“We know the Howard Beach client is a sharp-dressed customer who demands designer labels and the best prices,” said Tina Karako, marketing director.

According to the store’s website, karakosuits.com, it has had relationships with vendors for nearly 30 years and passes the savings on to customers. The site says the shop buys in bulk and brings in containers of designer suits, allowing for the best prices for menswear on the market.

Karako said the stores offer suits for any occasion, including business, wedding, tuxedo, interview, “Sweet Sixteen,” bar mitzvah, communion, confirmation and quienceañera suits.

“We carry suits for the guy breaking into the business world all the way to the top executives,” Karako said.

The website lists Calvin Klein, Izod, Chaps, Michael Kors, Joseph Abboud, Visconti and Zanetti among the brand names sold at Karako.

Return customers and word of mouth have increased the store’s business over the years.  

“We guarantee when you leave our store, you will say, ‘Why did I ever shop anywhere else?’” Karako said. “Our customers become return customers in one visit.”

She added that the variety offered at the shop is what keeps customers coming back.

“Why waste time and gas searching for something you will never find?” Karako said. “You will never find the pricing, selection and quality you find at Karako.”

She said that the store is different from big department stores because of the selection.

“You get the same names as you would in Macy’s or J.C. Penney’s but our selection is larger,” Karako said. “We have short, regular, long, extra long and portly, and we have first-quality suits.”

Karako also offers customers package deals, something she said you can’t get at a big department store.

“With a package, you get the suit you would buy at a department store, discounted, plus all the extras.”

On Black Friday, the store is offering a huge package deal.

If customers buy one regular priced suit, they will get 15 items free. That includes two additional suits, three shirts, three pairs of socks, three ties, three belts, and on Black Friday only, a wool coat.

The Howard Beach location is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
