While I'm sure Carmen does fine work for the majority of his customers, I would advise that you not contact him for any partnerships with charitable organizations. During an auction for the Ronald [redacted]d House I bid on, and paid handsomly for, a consultation and custom fitting for a bespoke suit. After months of trying to schedule an appointment he came to my office and offered to give me a discarded suit from 2 years past.
To avoid confrontation I accepted his offer and he said he would tailor it and ship it to me. Months later I received the suit, but the fitting was absolutely terrible.
I would not do business with Carmen directly, and in fact, knowing that he treats an indirect customer with less-than-acceptable care has caused me to inform the general public about this disaster.
