I normally hesitate to bring my higher end items to a tailors shop because of being disappointed in alterations in the past. Simply, that is not the case with Harry & Amra - I brought in a leather/fur vintage jacket which I picked up in Romania needing new buttons and restitching on the sheepskin collar. Harry did an amazing job matching the buttons and thread pattern on the collar. It's been three years since then, nothing has changed. I am planning on bringing my wedding tuxedo to be fitted since I had such a good experience previously. read more

Well done! I needed a gown tailored for a gala in less than two weeks, and not only did the team deliver early, but the dress was tailored to perfection. It's a tiny shop, and good luck with parking because it is a very busy area. Either you will get lucky with a spot on the street out front. If not, there is a tiny lot in the back shared with other tenants here. You may have to circle a few times to get a spot. The space is basic for the excellent service delivered. Thankfully, they have two, albeit teeny-weeny, changing rooms. And it seems that they are popular and keep busy. But this small and mighty team provides excellent attention, service and communication. I would come again. read more

They are amazing ! Friendly professional, fair and on time . We have tried a few in the area and this is by far the best .

Hem-work on a large square of silk fabric. Superb, timely craftsmanship, reasonably priced. read more

So I've been coming here for years for all kinds of challenging alterations projects and they have never let me down. Amra, Harry and team are a family run and highly skilled group of tailors, and a blessing to the San Diego community. Most recently I brought in a very fancy suit I got as a gift, that was 2 sizes too big! They did their tailoring magic and made it fit like a charm. Their pricing and turn around time is also better than any of the other tailors I've gone to over the years. Check them out, you won't be disappointed! read more

This place is fantastic. They are friendly, quick, reliable and definitely reasonably priced. Their work is top notch too. Definetely recommend. read more

Wicked fast turnaround. Had a suit tailored for a wedding. They did it in 2 days. Well done. $120 for pants and jacket. Not sure if that was bc it was rushed or if that was normal. Looks great. read more

I do not live in the area but I'm always willing to make the trip. I've had a few formal dresses altered at this store and they always do an excellent job. The team is friendly and the work is high-quality. read more

I've had a few things altered with All American Tailors now and am so happy with the results. Whatever you need done, they can take care of it. I had a long chiffon dress that needed some length removed from the bottom and the sleeves. It came out at the perfect length and for a reasonable price. The family that owns the shop is super nice and helpful. They are a cash only business, but they take venmo which is my preferred method! read more

We had to get dress blues fitted two days before the ball and they made it happen! The price was absolutely reasonable and the outcome was perfect! read more

This place is amazing! Incredible customer service. They were closed the 4th and 5th of July but I forgot to pick up my pants for a wedding happening that weekend. They went out of their way to come back and open up the shop for me. Cannot thank them enough. read more

I had a good experience the first time I brought a pair of yoga pants to be altered. I had a pleasant interaction with the owner, and paid between $12-15. I decided to go in this morning to drop off a basic cotton dress to have it altered a few inches. When I came in, a man named Harry (?) was sitting at the sewing machine. He did not acknowledge me, even after I said hello several times. He finally looked up, but did not address me with any greeting. I proceeded to tell him that I wanted a few inches off my dress, and he quoted me $30. I was a bit taken aback as I recall having paid no more than $15 last time. When I told him that I recall paying between $12-15 last time, he scoffed at me, threw my dress down, and walked away. He replied in a condescending tone "go somewhere else". I was shocked at how rude he was. I would only come back here if the owner was present. read more

Had my wedding dress altered by Harry over 20 years ago when his location was just across the street from where it is now. He's now altering clothes for my teens! On our last visit in May he insisted on altering my sons pants on the spot, we chatted and walked away about 20 minutes later with 2 pair of altered pants and after having a delightful conversation. Harry takes pride in his work, he takes pride in his family and I'm happy to support this business. read more

Honestly, my only experience with a tailor. But they were so fast, so friendly, and just did an amazing job. I've been considering just getting some clothes tailored to fit better, instead of just living with how things look of the rack, but after my experience with them I will be bringing more things in to really make my wardrobe tailored to me! They even fixed a jumpsuit I had to make the torso longer - talent!! read more

Great tailor and superb customer service. Very reasonable pricing and friendly staff. So happy to find someone trustworthy and affordable. I highly recommend this shop. read more

The most bad-ass tailor in all of San Diego. Look no further, this guy is the tailor-gangster you're looking for, nobody can even come close. I have had extremely expensive suits tailored here, and they were absolutely perfect. He's just ultra gifted and makes it look so easy. Support this tailor shop. Because once a master-tailor like him retires, there simply is no replacement, this dude is laser-perfect. read more

Had my bridesmaid dresses taken in here and they were very honest about what I needed and did not need done to the dress! Would definitely recommend to everyone! read more

Quick turn around, good pricing, and good service. They find a way to get it done and have a good attitude while doing so. Will be back! Found a new Tailor read more

Got back suit pants from another tailor that, for the second time, we're not done correctly. The seam on the seat of the pants was sewn in a way that made it look like there was a bunch of extra material. Took them here and was able to get them done right with a quick turnaround for a wedding. Tailor even cut the seam and sewed it back temporarily on the spot so I could try them on to make sure they wouldn't need additional alterations when the seam was fixed. 10/10 would take anything here again. read more

Had to have my suit for my wedding adjusted in a hurry. Everyone was courteous and attentive. The suit fit wonderfully! Will return for sure in the future. read more

I would recommend this tailor to my friends and family so definitely would recommend to a stranger on yelp. LOL they are quick, efficient & affordable. Look no further!!! Get your clothes tailored here! They helped me with my wedding dress and it came out perfect for my special day. read more

AAT tailored my husband's suits and tuxedos many times and their work is impecable. Great tailors!

Love this place! It's a smaller family owned place I was referred here by a very close friend she has been going to him for years! I came with a cute maxi dress I wanted the bust line adjusted and a slit cut into the side. He had me try it on and marked where he would make the adjustments and explained why he would do them the way he was marking them. He also pointed out that he could hem/pleat the very back of the dress near the waist so that hugged in the right places and fell more flattering way! I brought it a week and a few days before my company xmas party the dress was done with days to spare and was beautiful! Love the way tailored cloths fit! It truly makes such a difference. Should have taken before and after pictures! read more

All American Tailors - Da dress :) - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Diego, California

Brought my pants to have the zipper changed. Explained what might happen based on the material. Gave a date to pick up. Picked up - everything looks good. Paid. In business language is not necessary unless you have to go big lengths to explain things. Harry (i think that is his name) does his work well and you pay and then everything is fine. Note: A Regular Customer came in to ask if Harry(?)can further expand the jeans he has. Harry said no...maybe he should try exercising but he didn't say the words, he just demonstrated what the customer should do to fit in back to his pants. I thought it was funny! P.S. the guy was not big but probably he could just exercise his way back to his pant size! read more

I love Amra and everyone here! So warm, friendly and reliable! Excellent tailoring always on time. Can't say enough good things! read more

If I have learned anything from Stacy London and Clinton Kelly it's that investing in a good tailor is always worth it. Well, I've finally found a good one here in San Diego and I couldn't be more thrilled. I came here with a Thakoon blouse, a knit and a new pair of jeans. Being 5'3", I always have to get things hemmed or taken in at a more flattering angle. With the blouse I was a little nervous; it was an expensive purchase and I didn't want it to get messed up. But I shouldn't have fretted dear Yelpers, because this is the best tailor in San Diego. He knew exactly what I needed and provided some delightful side commentary. After fitting everything, he told me my clothes would be done the next day -- I nearly keeled over with shock. All of my other tailors have taken at least five to 10 days with things. As if things couldn't get any better, he only charged $30 for all three things, which is a great deal for these kinds of alterations. I'm glad All American Tailors is in my 'hood because at the rate I buy clothes, I'll be back again before summer hits. read more

Called, let me come in whe it worked best for me. Was able to get my dress altered with plenty of time and at a reasonable price! Had called other tailors I the Area only to be told they were "too busy" to help me- will definitely be coming here again to get clothing tailored! read more

Amra and Harry have been taking care of me and my family for years, I've brought in tons of jeans, pants, dress shirts, and even my wedding suit to them, and I have never been dissapointed. Fantastic, quick service tailored (no pun intented) to your needs. Genuine, awesome people running this mom n pop shop, can't ask for a better place! read more

I got my bridesmaid dress altered for a great price, and they made sure I was 100% happy with it. Even though my dress was being difficult they were so nice through the whole process and had a quick turn around time. They also accept Venmo, which is very helpful and easy. Loved my experience at All American Tailors and would recommend them! read more

Came here with my bridesmaid dress that 3 different places refused to let out! One lady asked me why I bought such a small dress. Well I actually bought it 3 sizes bigger because I was 8 weeks pregnant when I got it! Anyways here I was 6 months later and the dress didn't fit. The girl at this place had me put it on and just said "Okay, I can make it work." I came back two days later she did some last minute adjustments I came back the next day and it zipped and fit perfectly! Total cost was $40 which is nice because I thought for sure it was going to be more. And she did a great job and in such a short window of time. And she remembered my name when I walked in! It's the little things. read more

I love the lovely people who are there who do a fantastic job tailoring and cleaning. If you want cheap, don't come here , but he's very reasonable considering the care given to your nice things. You get what you pay for. I won't take my Louis , Celine, or Balenciaga any where else. Here they do a fine European way of precise tailoring that makes you look like a million bucks and their cleaning is expert and timely read more

Don't bother with this place. They are outdated on their practices. They don't listen to what you want but instead argue with you about how your body is the problem. Insanely rude man that wouldn't shut up long enough to listen. I didn't blame him when his tailoring caused my shirt to no longer be wearable. I simply asked him if I paid more could they fix it. He once again went into saying nothing is wrong. Very disappointed. Don't trust these people with your wedding clothes Update: I drove over to Charles Alterations on Adams ave and within less than a minute a women showed me how the lazy tailor job led to me not being able to lift my arms. She said she could fix it no problem and had me out the door before you know it. $12 later she fixed the $30 job all American tailor couldn't get right. read more

I've been loyally coming here for the past three years to get my suits for work altered or dry cleaned. However, I write this review after putting up with the owner's attitude TWICE. I let him slide for the first transgression chalking it up to a bad day but now it seems like it's a PERSONAL problem and he just hates the world or something. I called today asking if considering the time restraints he could take my suit for dry cleaning and have it done by Wednesday night at the latest. Honestly, fine if he could but fine if he couldn't NBD. What really irked me was when I clarified if he meant Tuesday or Thursday night because that makes a huge difference in my decision. This guy had the audacity to start yelling at me saying he said "tuesday/thursday" (interestingly, his increased volume still didn't clear up the confusion). Owner dude, I'm sure you're making bank but that's no excuse to be rude to someone that was merely asking for you to clarify something ONCE (god forbid). EDIT: I forgot to mention that the hemming they did fell apart while I was in court. Excuse me your honor it seems like my pants fell apart. JFC. read more

Great service, whether it's my kid's scout uniform or a pair of jeans, they have it all covered.

I had an emergency tailor situation and Harry and his wife came to save the day. I called his shop in the morning of my best friend's wedding. We needed to bring in one suit (blazer and pants) as well as let out another (blazer and pants). This needes to be done the same day within 3 hours to make it in time for photos and not hold up the festivities. We rushed to the store as soon as it opened (9:30am) and tried on the suits for Harry. He marked them up and promised to get them turned around by noon. I got a call back from him at 11:40am saying they were ready. They fit amazingly. I couldnt be happier with the work done. Lastly, the price was very reasonable considering the rush associated with our request. Thank you both so much. You are truly professionals and have saved the day! I fully recommend Harry's All American Tailor shop to anyone in the San Diego area. read more

I regularly come here for minor alterations (i.e. hemming). My Sweetie is here more often - she's petite so sleeves shortened, etc. Harry never let's us down. He's an experienced eastern European tailor who knows his stuff. Dropped off jeans today & they'll be ready tomorrow afternoon. read more

All American Tailors - Harry - owner, master tailor & great guy@ - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - San Diego, California

I trust all my clothes with them. I've brought in everything from suits...to vintage rayon shirt...to baseball jerseys and they were able to tailor every single item to fit like a glove. What sets them apart from everyone else is the extra finishing touches that they find they have to do that wasn't obvious when I first brought in the item. I'm always pleasantly surprised that the finished product is always way better than my expectations. Thank you!!!!! read more

This is my third bridesmaid dress alteration through All American Tailors, and they saved the day once again! They provided a super speedy turnaround time, and the once too-small dress fit perfectly for my friend's special day. Everything I've had altered here has come back fitting like it was made for me, and AAT has always provided top-quality service. I'm in yet another wedding in a few months, and will no doubt be returning to have them alter a fourth dress! read more

This is kind of an off-the-cuff (intentional pun) review because I didn't really have that much interaction with Harry, but my first impression walking into the tiny "All American Tailors" reminded me of that scene in Spider Man 2 with the Eastern European family cuz Harry, and who I'm assuming was his daughter was that family in the movie! Came in for a last minute suit pants hem, and he busted it out in about an hour on a walk-in. Cost of being a 28-30 inseam $15...."I wish I was little bit taller, I wish I was a baller" read more

After visiting not one, not two, but THREE different tailors, All American Tailors was the only place that took on the challenge to turn my tragically tiny bridesmaid dress (thank you, money-sucking bridal industry) into something that I could actually wear walking down the aisle for my best friend's wedding. Having the dress fail to fit on her big day was not an option, and after feeling like a piece of sausage being fit into incorrectly sized sausage casing, as well as being cursed at by a large man from another shop who said the dress would never fit me because I was far too big for it (no shit), the kind souls at All American were more than willing to make the requested alteration of altering the bust area. The turnaround time was a speedy four days, and the cost was beyond reasonable for it being a job that nobody else would even dare take on. The final result of turning a dress that quite literally wasn't even close to zipping? SPECTACULAR. The dress fit perfectly, all while maintaining the design's original integrity. I will never even consider visiting another tailor as long as I live in San Diego and highly recommend that others consider All American as their go-to tailor, as well. I promise, you won't be disappointed! read more
