Brought in a pair of Momotaro jeans to hem, and Anthony did a perfect job! Came out perfect, and was ready just a few days later. Amazing value, Anthony is nice and really good at what he does. Will come back again for future jeans! read more

I came here about a year ago to get some selvedge denim hemmed and tailored. Now somehow when then get cuffed, there is a fold that happens as if they weren't cut right. Posting now because I now have a pair of $300 Warehouse & Co. jeans I literally have no desire to wear. read more

My favorite denim alterations to work with. Very professional and responsive to my question. Will be coming back for all my denim needs.

Couldn't be happier with how my Iron Heart jeans turned out. They came out exactly how I wanted -- clean, precise tailoring and excellent craftsmanship. The fit is perfect now. Highly recommend if you want quality work done right. Thank you Anthony! read more

Tore a pair of salvage denim jeans. BW was no fuss- finished early- kept a sentimental pair of pants going for years to come.

did a great job on a waisting resizing in on a pair of momotaros:) took a bit but was well worth it

Anthony brought in the waist on a pair of 3sixteen Selvedge denim jeans for me. They now fit and look great. If you need a denim tailor you can trust with expensive jeans, this is the guy. Thanks again, Anthony. Reasonable prices. Pro quality workmanship. read more

Quick and communicative, what more can I ask for? I got fitted which took less than 5 minutes and chainstitch hem service which took 2 days. Quality work once I inspected the pants, would definitely come back with more clothes. Nice and trustworthy dude read more

Anthony is hands down the best denim tailor I have ever worked with. I've had him do several tapers and hemmings and every time the results have been 100% on point. The chainstitching on the hems is the cleanest and straightest out of all the denim alteration places I've used and pricing is more than fair considering the quality of work. He's within driving distance so I'm glad I found someone local rather than having to mail jeans back and forth. He's a small, one-person operation so support this small business and give him a try for any denim tailoring needs. read more

OMG I am STOKED to find a place in the Eastbay to alter and repair my IH Flathead, Strike Gold, et al. I love a Mission burrito as much as the next guy but for some reason I've avoided SF since Covid. I have several pairs to bring in incl some 634 and 666s and with crotch blow outs and a few pars to CS hem. My GF wanted me to throw them away...helll to the no, baby...these jeans are special...nearly passing out on my bike breaking in my 777/555s is a rite of passage...and now they feel heavenly. Anyway...Calling you tomorrow..and of course will post a review after. read more

Fantastic retro shop and an amazing personality Anthony received me on a short notice appointment and did a fantastic job shortening my vintage Japanese denim. Let's support him and his business He even delivered my denim to my car as I was waiting outside. Bravo man read more

Always a pleasure to bring some jeans to Anthony. I've had him do hems, take in the waist, and most recently darn a crotch blowout. He's always responsive, helpful, and has a quick turn around. His prices are also quite reasonable! Can't recommend him enough. read more

Rested easy that I knew Anthony was handling my jeans. Did a great job and looked great after tapering. You won't be disappointed by the handy work. read more

What can I say that hasn't been said? Great quality. Nice guy. Fantastic work. Service is top notch. He'll make you fall in love with that 7 year old pair of denim all over again. Thanks Anthony! read more

Anthony is the man. extremely professional quality. I thought I was out of luck when I ordered an expensive pair of selvedge jeans online that didnt fit me at all. most other tailors in the bay area have no idea how to do a proper hemming let alone how to taper from the inseam on a selvedge jean. I brought my jeans to a local dry cleaner first and they just about ruined the inseam. After doing a little research I was able to find Anthonys shop. He got right back to me and after a brief discussion he said he could fix the hem and taper the jeans from the inseam to actually make them fit. I just picked up the jeans today and they look amazing. Anthony did a phenomenal job. If you have any denim that needs work he is the only person I would even consider going to now. Thanks! read more

Solid individual to come and get your selvedge things tapered/hemmed. Really accommodating guy and quality effort and results. Will definitely be back for more pants to get done! read more

Setting up an appointment was really easy through the website. Anthony was quick to respond and was able to answer all of my questions for my hemming. I just had two jeans needing a hem and his turnaround was really quick. The jeans came out well and I'll happily choose him again for any future pairs I may be bringing in. read more

I have had several pairs of jeans repaired and hemmed and Anthony did a great job. He is friendly and nice to work with. He also has a quick turnaround and reasonable prices. read more

Stellar! 5 star! Stupendous! I can't believe I didn't know about Anthony and Blue Whale sooner. Brought my two pairs of summer jeans in that have gotten holes in them from being in constant rotation. It was time to fix them. Anthony was up front that the holes were big (they were) and that he can def patch them up, but won't look seamless. He did a great job and I can't wait to tell friends if and when they need jeans repaired! FYI: I repaired two pairs of women's jeans: one Levi's and one madewell. read more

Fantastic! My jeans are as good as new. Great location and friendly. Totally recommend.

I drove an hour and a half to get two pairs of selvedge jeans hemmed and it was WORTH IT. Anthony does awesome work.

I've been going to Anthony for 3-4 years now. People think it's strange that I have a tailor specific to denim. Being how I'm a short stature woman, finding well fitted jeans has always been challenging. I started investing in raw denim, get fitted by Anthony, and bring my jeans for repair to this man. He's the only one I trust and the quality of work is great! The above jeans is my first raw denim pair that Anthony tapered and hemmed. About 1.5-2 years later, the button hole ripped and needed reinforcing. The stitching is subtle and sturdy, feels thicker than when I first bought the pair. I also had him do a secondary reinforcement for the back belt loop. The best part to owning raw denim is how uniquely yours they are. I love how Anthony puts his flare into his repairs as well. It adds another level of character. Responsive quality service. What more can your ask for? read more

Incredibly talented and precise tailor. He is super professional as well as kind while being in the top of the top of tailoring in terms of his skills. He is a reasonably priced tailor and offers quality chain stitching! read more

As bigger guy it's hard to fine jeans that really fit and look the way the should. After exhausting search I had a few jeans that fit okay but need some work. A friend of mine recommended Anthony with out question. I dropped off my pairs of jeans spent about 20 minutes with him talking fit and Letting him take my Measurements. Came back a week later in the pants fit perfect!! This is my guy from now on read more

I finally had the opportunity to drop by over the weekend to drop off my raw denim. A pair of left field's for repairs and samurai's for hem&taper. I purchased my pair of left field's from two jacks denim back in 2014 which got tailored by none other than this man coincidentally. I had gotten my jeans repaired once already through self-edge who also happen to send some of their jean repairs to Anthony for a fix. Anthony was able to instantly able to recognize his own hem+taper work on this particular pair of denim and recognize that the first repair was not done through him... impressive to say the least. The man has past experience working at Levi's... and now works in his own denim workshop... It's almost as if he eats, sleeps, and breathes denim. This is the person I want working on my beloved jeans, someone who understands the impact of owning a goddamn great pair of jeans. Practically my second skin to my bottom half. I ended up paying $25 for each tear/hole in my jeans subtotaling to $75, an additional $50 to hem+taper my brand new samurai denim, and $10 for shipping+tracking for a grand total of $135. A small price to pay in my eyes, yet a fair price! One of my buddies just told me about a taper job he got done elsewhere that cost him $75 to get done?! Eh? Pass. I plan to post before/after shots of my repair+fit for the curious ones. Stay tuned. read more

If you're looking to have a pair of jeans altered this is the place to go. Anthony does excellent work and is easy to work with. Setting up a time was convenient and he was able to answer all of my questions. My jeans were ready in a few days and the stitching looks amazing. read more

My go-to every time I need alterations to denim. He's dope.

The quality of service and attention to detail at Ferrario are unmatched. Couldn't be happier with the tailoring of my selvedge jeans. The hem that he stitched on the cuff looks better than the original. read more

Had a really nice pair of jeans (UBi IND) that got a hole from too much use. UBi recommended coming to Anthony and he was down the street from me so I gave him a shot. Send a text and he said to come on over. Shop was a little hard to find, definitely call him when you get there so he can let you in as he is behind a large gate. Anthony took the jeans and got them back to me the next day, they look great and it's some seriously quality work. Would gladly be bringing back the rest of my jeans if they ever need any repairs. read more

Reasonably priced, quick turn around time, and new hem on my jeans + jacket looked great- would recommend!

Huge thank you to Anthony! I bought a pair of 17oz denim from the Self Edge website back in November 2017. Everything was great except the fit was a bit wider than I had liked. Because of the fit, I didn't wear it much and also considered selling. The thought of getting the jeans tapered occurred many times, but I had no idea who in the Bay Area was capable of doing so without touching the selvedge line. Then I found Ferrario Made Goods. Fast forward the this past weekend, I dropped my jeans off on Sunday July 15 and they were ready by Tuesday July 17, although Anthony had suggested they would be done by Thursday. Crazy fast turn around time! I had the jeans hemmed by 2 inches and the leg opening tapered from 7.25 to 7. The jeans came back perfect and I can't wait to start wearing them on a daily basis going forward. Be sure to email Anthony to set up an appointment before hand! read more

Super fast turnover on my denim repair. I've been burned in the past by others with an ongoing 6-month turnover... Glad to find Anthony who is local and does fantastic work at a breakneck speed. Cash only and reservations through texting is very convenient. Will be coming back for more when my other pairs blow out. read more

I don't really post many reviews but feel like I should let everyone know the good work Anthony does. He has done some quality work on my precious Japanese denim. Including excellent taper work on my iron heart and samurai jeans. He has also shortened the sleeves on two of my momotaro jackets, which were not an easy thing to do. All quality work done by him with reasonable pricing and quick turnaround time of about a week or so. I will be hitting him up for future alterations and repairs as he is one of the few in this area that understands how to work on Japanese denim. read more

I've brought him the same pair of jeans twice to fix and he did amazing. The stitching matches perfectly and the turnaround was quick! Prices are definitely reasonable. Will definitely come back. read more

Anthony is my best find of 2021 thus far! He hemmed or tapered about a dozen pairs of jeans for me over the past few months, each time doing a fantastic job. Using denim-specific machinery makes all the difference, and thanks to his great attention to details and impeccable craft, the results have been perfect. Add the fact that he is so easy to communicate with, and I wouldn't consider bringing my denim anywhere else for alteration/repairs. read more

If you need your raw denim to be worked on. This is the guy to go to. I had him repair a couple of my jeans already. Quick turn around time and responds quick! read more

I have a pair of Gustins that I didn't really love the fit on, so I took them to Anthony and had him do a taper. It took about a week or so to complete, but the results were fantastic! Anthony has about 100 different sewing machines that he uses for specialized purposes. The jeans I had him taper were raw, selvedge denim and he was able to maintain the selvedge ID and run a really nice taper from the knee down. You honestly couldn't tell that these had been altered. As of this review Anthony is only in the shop Tuesday, Thursday, and Sundays, so it's best to message before hand and request a quote, but the workmanship is worth it! read more

Anthony is a master craftsman and does amazing work. I brought in a pair of 3sixteen SL120x (shadow selvedge) that I needed hemmed. He was able to do it within an hour and I pickup it up after grabbing some tacos down the street. After about a few days of wear, i decided I wanted them tapered and Anthony was able to accommodate my request. He estimated one week but was able to finish them sooner than expected. 5/5 stars, thanks anthony, I'll be back again soon. read more

My denim that I picked up in Canada earlier this year got holes in them from all of the love and wear that I give them. I found Anthony on yelp and sent him an e-mail. He responded very fast and I was on my way to bring my jeans to him the next day. He had them fixed and ready to go in 3 days. Don't just drop by! The shop is hard to find, but call when you get there for your appointment and he can guide you in. I'd definitely go back and recommend him to all of my friends! Something to note: he takes cash only. read more
