Great job tailoring our 16-year-old's suit for DECA competition. Owner understands teens!

I had a new suit tailored at Boulder Custom Tailoring and could not have been more pleased. The tailoring was completed on time and the quality of work was exceptional. Great customer service from the owner as well. we will return with our fut tailoring needs and highly recommend Boulder Custom Tailoring to anyone in the Boulder area. read more

We've been going to Boulder Custom Tailoring for more than two decades, starting with the father and now his son, Gokhan. They are by far the best in the business around Boulder area. After moving to Lafayette, we thought we'd find someone close by and we did, but were always disappointed. So now we make the drive into Boulder just to have the best work on our clothes. Besides, giving us the best fit on new pieces or updating an old item, Gokhan is personable, easy to work with, and we find his advice right on target. read more

This is the only place I will ever take my tailoring to. The owner is super friendly, and always remembers me. They do great work, quickly, and for an affordable rate. They've taken on my last-minute projects, and repaired every random item of clothing that I bring in. read more

I just want to say that this has been the best experience I have ever had in tailoring my suit. The people here are super friendly, and they got my suit ready before prom. The environment is so peaceful, and you better believe that they are quick with their job, even if there's five people in front of you or five people behind you they'll get through them faster than you can ever imagine. If you need clothes tailored, this is the place you need to go. And it's very affordable. read more

They did an absolutely wonderful job on my boyfriend's bathrobe for me! I brought the bathrobe in having only a vague idea of what I wanted for embroidery on the chest, and once I picked it up like a week later, I was over the moon about how they really knocked it out of the park ("Bub" is my nickname for him)! It was everything I wanted at a great price. read more

Boulder Custom Tailoring - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I took curtains to this place to be hemmed. They seemed nice and helpful at first. When I picked up the curtains and hung them up, one was not hemmed evenly and part of it dragged on the floor. I had the curtains up for one week, max. I took the one curtain back in and they said they would fix it free of charge. When I took the curtain home and hung it up I noticed there were dirt marks at the top, the part that was not hemmed. I called the store and let them know these dirt marks were not on the curtain before I brought it back to them. Whoever answered the phone seemed to deny that this could have happened and offered to pay half of the dry cleaning. In an effort to describe the stains, I said that it seems like that end was on the floor while the other end was being hemmed. In response he yelled and said "why don't you bring the curtain back in and we can drag it on the floor and see if it happens here?". Absolutely horrible customer service and craftsmanship. I will never bring anything to this place again and DO NOT recommend the tailoring services. Do not even bother coming here. read more

If you need anything altered, this place will take care of you! I had two bridesmaids dresses that needed length taken off the bottom and one of them had other issues with the top straps. If you're short like me you know the pain of alterations and finding a place to do it right.. look no further! Both dresses were done on time for the weddings and at a reasonable price. The owner cares about his work and is one of the most friendly people I've ever met! It's a very comfortable place that clearly has years of experience in the business. I'd highly recommend taking your alterations here! read more

Fantastic all-around service tailoring a suit for wedding, clearly a life-time of expertise at suit tailoring. Our experience was an absolute pleasure, from start to finish. Seeing the owner in action was truly remarkable. He is that good. read more

Walked in to get a dress tailored and it turned out to have already been altered by the previous owner. The helpful staff at Boulder Custom Tailoring noticed this immediately and pulled the hand stitches in under 2 minutes without charging me, which was very kind of them. Dress fits like a glove now! read more

Dropped off a coat a week ago to replace the buttons - when I gave them my ticket, they couldn't find my item. Searched high and low for 10 minutes and thought they completely lost it. I went back and was able to finally spot it. Of course they hadn't even gotten to it, even though it was supposed to be ready today. I would've been understanding with a simple apology, but the owner immediately got nasty and defensive, shouting "LOOK at all these racks of clothes we still have to get through, we didn't have time for it." Ok...why is that my problem? Can't you just say...sorry? I took my coat back and walked out. A little decency goes a long way - maybe try not yelling at your customers, especially when you're in the wrong? Gross. First and last time at this place. read more

Just a fantastic little shop in Boulder. The family owned and operated staff were fun to work with and they did a fantastic job altering my suits. I recommend this shop 100% and will be a returning customer for life! read more

These guys are so awesome. They do fantastic tailoring. But it's their attitude that really makes them great. I deeply appreciate people who have passion for whatever they do, and they are overflowing with it. The energy is so positive! read more

Absolutely the best tailor(s) on the Front Range. Gokhan and everyone there are simply fantastic and display some of the best tailoring skill I've ever seen. I go here for every alteration I ever need. read more

Though I've been a loyal customer for many years, I can no longer use or recommend this business. I had a similar experience to the customer who authored the most recent review, so it seems to be a pattern rather than a one-off. The owner rushes you through a fitting and when the work is unsatisfacory, he does not stand behind the work. My interaction with Gokhan was very similar to the last reviewer - he was surly and brusk and turned his back to me rather than continue our conversation. He raised his voice when I calmly asked to resolve an issue and he dismissed me rather than try to work with me. There are many very good tailors in the Boulder area who appreciate their customers, so I strongly suggest using one of them instead of this shop. read more

I took three pairs of pants to be altered, and dropped them off several weeks before I needed them for a business trip. I prepaid for the work. When my husband went on the day they were to be ready (which was also on the claim ticket), he was told they were not ready, but would be in 2 hours. He returned, only to be told that they would not be ready until the next day. No phone call to tell us they were not yet ready, and no apology for the original and additional delays; in fact, we were told that they were "doing us a favor" by getting the items done as originally promised. When I went back in the following day to pick up the garments, the owner told me that my husband is a "mean motherf*cker" and that he didn't need my business. When I tried to explain our side of the story, he raised his voice, interrupted me, and turned his back on me. I wish I had read some of the other reviews that discuss similar treatment before going there. read more

I have had a long-term relationship with this shop, and generally my experience has been very positive with them. However, last week I went to pick up an item as well as to take in an item that had previously been worked on. When I began to express to Gokhan, one of the owners, that I didn't feel the job was done right the first time, he said I would have to pay the same amount as I originally paid in order for him to re-do the job. I told him that I felt I shouldn't have to pay a second time for the job. To my surprise (he is normally very good natured), he reacted very adversely and strongly -- in front of another customer -- to the idea that the original repair could have been less than ideal. When he told me I owed him what I owed him for the item I was picking up, I asked him to discount that based on my dissatisfaction with the other job. He became even more reactive. I told him that he didn't have to get reactive or take it personally, and that I had every right to register my concern about the quality of the job. He would have nothing of it, refused to take my payment for the new pickup, and told me in so many words that he didn't want to work with me anymore and stormed off to the back of the store. I left the full amount in cash for the second job on the counter and left, bewildered. Upon getting home, I noticed that the pickup job was also not right. (sweatpants drawstring replacement where the length of new drawstring on one side was very noticeably shorter than the other side). Not sure what was up with Gokhan that day, but not a good business move to react like he did and take whatever frustrations he was dealing with out on a customer - in front of another customer. Bad look that day and bad look here now. After being put in such an uncomfortable and unnecessary situation as I was that day, I won't be bringing my business to this shop any longer. read more

so kind and good work! they also have a doggie who hangs out in the front named bulut! what a cutie. i would definitely return in the future with anymore alterations. i admire their dedication to making sure everyone is satisfied. read more

I have had multiple items that had to be redone after poor workmanship. Pants have more than once been two different lengths. Items were promised multiple times to be finished only to take weeks longer.They do not have the skills to do more complex work. They sub out their work to other less skilled workers and the finished product can be really really bad. There are other tailors in Boulder. Do not use this one read more

I have been using this tailor for years. They are like family. Their work is first class, I've never been disappointed. There is nothing better then wearing a well fitting garment. read more

Professional and on-time work every time. I've been using their services for years with many kinds of alterations. In addition to their favorable prices their service is friendly and impeccable! Plus, there's always plenty of parking. Easy to get in and out hassle free. read more

I have been going to Baleil and his son for years. I've NEVER been disappointed. Not only are they excellent tailors they are nice guys who still address me as "ma'am" . Chivalry is not lost on me! They have tailored the following: formal evening dresses (taken in on bust and let out on hips), pants, leather pants and jacket (made a jacket fitted from a more boxy style), suits and made a long skirt into a mini. I also brought my dear grandmother here and have referred a few friends - all have had rave reviews, except one. I'm not sure of the details but I know she was not pleased. SO although I have had a 5 star experience, my review is a 4. I also don't find them more expensive than others in Boulder..and most the time you get what you pay for.. read more

These guys were nice, but I had them add a button back onto a dress shirt and got a mess back. Won't be back. read more

I brought in a suit and a couple dress shirts for alterations for a wedding. The staff were great, and they got the work done in time for the event. I forgot the name of the gentleman who did my measurements, but I was surprised when he told me that the jacket didn't really need any work. He passed up on easy money by being honest, which is always reassuring when you shop somewhere new. I'll definitely be back when I need more tailoring! read more

I always use Boulder Tailoring for all my sewing needs. They do an excellent job every time. The family that owns this is always super friendly and eager to help in any way they can. They work to get you your items back as soon as possible. I highly recommend you try Boulder Tailoring!! It's truly a five star company! read more

I first came here through a recommendation on Styleforum.net -- and have not been disappointed. The head tailor knows his stuff. (I can only speak to his knowledge of men's clothing). He'll listen to your wants, but also make suggestions of his own which you should probably listen to. Quite realistic about what can and should be done. Neither him or his son have ever tried to oversell me -- knowing that it is sometimes better to start over with a new garment than completely deconstruct an existing one at tremendous cost. I've seen the results of major suit alterations done by him (narrowing shoulders and adjusting collars) and have been impressed. He's taken in numerous sport coats for me with attention to how different cuts should fit, whether I'll possible want a sweater or not, etc. Straight, well finished seems. Same on the tailored shirts, and hemmed pants. They've taken the extra minutes to fix a loose button and steam out any jacket oddities for no charge. Prices are reasonable and have always been done on the stated date for me: $39 for taking a waist of a jacket in, $22 for sides+sleeves+darts of on a shirt, $12 for just darts, ~10-15 for a hem. read more

Oh, how I love excellent service, and this family owned business really knows service. They were friendly and helpful from the initial phone call through the pick up. Other places I called hedged when I asked if they could do a slightly faster turn around. One place whined about how busy they were and maybe they could fit me in over the next week. Boulder Custom Tailoring said to come right in and of course they could turn it around quickly. I didn't know much about tailoring but it really made me feel fancy. They explained what my choices were and were fast and enjoyable to work with. I see that other people have said they are pricier. Maybe you pay extra for the decades of experience, impeccable service and a beautiful job done with your clothes. I thought it was more than worth it! read more

I wanted to get sleeves hemmed on a jacket. The gentleman. pretty sure he is the owner didn't even look at the jacket and said $46. I vaguely recall him fitting/measuring me for a similar alteration and charging me $25 a couple years ago. This time the price quoted was $46!! He came to $39 when I expressed surprise at the cost. $39 for a simple hem on two sleeves with no buttons? I appreciate there is inflation over 2 years and I understand quality and workmanship come at a price, however, this hem job is not a complicated woman's dress or outfit that. Thanks but no thanks. read more

Worked quickly to meet my deadline. Knowledgable and friendly :) I knew (one of?) the owners from the past, and came here originally because of him! It's a family-owned business, so I don't know that he's the sole owner. They are all very professional and stand by their word and work! read more

I couldn't ask for a better tailor. They're great at communicating, make sure they're able to meet your expectations on time before taking on the work, and are generally great to work with. I've had small modifications done where I was able to pick the item up a day or two later. I had a tuxedo with sentimental value that was too large completely deconstructed and remade to fit my figure - I had no deadline for this so they did the work over a couple of months, yet the result was fantastic and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend this tailor and that you do them a favor of communicating your expectations with each item you bring to them. read more

Boulder Custom Tailoring took one of Grandad's sport coats and made it look terrific on lanky grandson's frame. The service was exceptional, the work completed expeditiously, (we were under a time crunch) and the price very reasonable. I would most definitely use Boulder Custom Tailoring again and would recommend them to friends. Melissa J read more

My 3rd visit. Work done was correct and they accommodated a rush job. Second visit was more complex and done to my liking as well as done quickly. The best part of the whole experience is how warm and friendly they are and have treated me not only as a customer, but as a friend. I used to dread alterations, now I look forward. Fair prices as well. read more

What a train wreck of a tailor, first of all, they are pricey. Second, believe it or not my pants legs differ by 1", my legs aren't that different, & the break is at different points in the front, I think any dry cleaner could have done a better job. read more

HORRIFYING: Went to pick up my bridesmaids dress and when I tried it on it was still to tight and did not fit right. When I mentioned this to the owner he responded with " don't eat for two days" . As if that wasn't insulting enough when I made a complaint to the manager about the owners comment the manager himself said excused the judgemental comment and said " what he was just trying to help you out" read more

I have been going to Boulder Custom Tailoring for a long time and service and quality are of the utmost importance to me. It's very disappointing to see the extremist review below so I felt it necessary to provide another perspective. Bilal and Gokhan are literally some of the nicest and most professional people I have had the pleasure to do business with. I have recommended them to many of my friends, family, and employees and I've only heard how impressed they were. I haven't received a single complaint based on my recommendations. Additionally, I have had them tailor most of my wardrobe since I'm a size that generally needs adjusted and they have delivered every single time - which is very impressive because I am very discerning and detail oriented when it comes to how I look given my job profession and my appreciation for well fitting clothes. They have been doing professional tailoring for 20 years and it shows. I can't recommend them highly enough for men's and women's tailoring. Concerning the language barrier that may have led to the reviewer's frustration, any comments that were made must have been taken the wrong way due to cultural differences since they are originally from Turkey. Gohkan (Bilal's son) is excellent with English (a bit better than Bilal) and tries to handle most of the customer communication. Both are honest, fair, professional, and genuinely friendly with their customers. And as for knowing their craft, I never have had a more skillful tailor than Bilal and Gokhan and that is compared to much larger cities than Boulder as I have a tailor in every city I've lived in and have traveled a lot in my life. I hope this is helpful. This is a family business, of genuinely good people, that puts their heart and soul into their craft and I think that needs to be reflected in these reviews. read more

I have been going here for some time now and I have always been very pleased with their work. They are very friendly and I like supporting a family-owned business. They have tailored a number of karate uniforms for me and they have always done an excellent job on. read more

I just got my dress pants back from Boulder custom tailoring and I couldn't be happier! I was referred by a friend who had been bringing her stuff there for years. They are happy, friendly and produced great work! I'm also happy with the price, $14 to finish the cuffs. I had been quoted between $20 and $49 at other places!!!! It was an easy in and out process, I think I spent 10 minutes there between both trips! read more

These people are amazing and their work is stellar too! They tailored my suit to perfection. Definitely would recommend to anyone

I don't normally get my clothing tailored, but I found this place and will not use another (as long as I am in Boulder, that is)!! Very helpful and kind. Reasonably priced and gets the job done quickly! read more
