This place is amazing! So happy with the alternation on my suit. Everything was just like I had hoped -- professional, great craftsmanship, and so personable. I bought a suit for an upcoming wedding at Jos A Banks and asked how long it would take the alter it. They said they might not be able to get it done in time and to call Continental Bespoke Tailors & Alterations. I called and the owner said to come over. I came in and he was so coridial and we talked about how I wanted the suit to fit. He did a few measurements and made his marks and we were ready to go. He asked when the wedding was and promised the suit would be ready a few days before the wedding. Today I went in to pick up the suit and he was just finishing up, pressing it and getting the last details together. I tried it on and it looked so good! It was just a basic suit, but he made the suit (and me) look better than we should. The whole time we are chatting about life and such and it was a fun and relaxing environment. In all, it was about 10 days from when I dropped the suit off to when it was ready was finished. I would highly recommend this shop! read more

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. I had a sudden funeral to attend on a Sunday, and the owner was able to take and finish my alterations in a couple hours on a Saturday. I felt bad that he was there until almost 6 but it wasn't even an issue as far as he was concerned. His store is EXACTLY what you would think of for an old-school tailor that is clearly dedicated to excellent quality and customer service. I had suit pants hemmed and the seat and waist slightly let out, as well as taking in the jacket around upper and mid back and taking in the sleeves. While admittedly I don't have much experience with tailored suits, it fits like a dream. Even my father took a second and noticed/commented on the suit looking good, and this was a suit jacket and pants that cost less than $200 from Men's Warehouse. I will undoubtedly be using this business for any and all alterations in the future and am hoping to have him provide the suits for my upcoming wedding. You will be extremely pleased with any services you receive from Continental Custom Tailors!! NOTE: Address has changed slightly, down the road from previous location. New address is 9415 Burnet Rd, Ste 104. read more

I tore a button out from my expensive men's trench coat that also caused a small hole in the coat. So this was a complex button repair that required patching. It took $16 and was repaired in a week. I wanted someone with experience in men's tailoring. I felt the end results were great and pricing was fair. read more

See all

Vas tailored a gown I bought for a last minute formal event and did an amazing job!!!

Vas. What a true gentleman. I cannot say enough about him and the quality of his work. Mine was a sad occasion--death in the family, unexpected, and I was without a properly fitting suit due to some additional LBs...I'm blaming COVID but I know better. So, I had TWO DAYS before I had to get on a flight. Vas turned it around perfectly, and I mean, letting jacket out a bit, trouser length (new suit) and waist, and sleeve length too!! This was not a tune up. This was a full blown alteration extravaganza. Beautiful work. Vas added some light to an otherwise really crappy few days, and a client for life. Thank you, kind Sir. read more

Vas was an expert, professional, prompt, and knew the answers to all of my questions. Helpful as I don't know what I am doing. I'd highly recommend his services and am looking forward to my next alteration with him. read more

Great local business. Did excellent work altering three suits, and they will definitely get all of my business moving forward.

I think he's coded closed, but he good at tailoring. He was very nice and got my suit altered fast for a wedding

Vas is a solid tailor. He makes good suggestions for clothing alterations and knows how to work with a variety shapes and fabrics. I've had a suits, jeans, shirts and a winter jacket altered at Continental and the work has been superb. Highly recommend. Philip B. Austin, TX read more

The owner is awesome! Extremely knowledgeable and a master of his trade in men's suits, tailoring and alterations. I was born and raised in ATX and this place is my go to place. He has every style and hard to find sizes in high end suits and shirts. Sizes like 46 Short and 44XL in blazers and suits. I'm telling you not everyone has these sizes, not even in Austin. You can even go in and have custom suits made and you get to pick every detail down to the buttons. - Trent - read more

High quality work at a very reasonable price. Customer service/satisfaction is the top priority for Vas. Would recommend over any of the chain tailors in Austin. read more

Vasile was amazing! My Prince Charlie Jacket that was my fathers was tailored to my fit perfectly. He was so friendly, helpful, and very fair on the pricing. It was next to impossible to find anyone who could do such a specific piece of clothing, and with it being my fathers one he brought here from Scotland, I was very protective of it. Vasile made it feel like it was made just for me. I hope one day I can pass it to my son, and I hope Vasile will be able to help us once again. read more

I came here to get my suit jacket altered and well the quality of work was really good I got to say. My jacket looked like it was cut just for me so there is no complaint there. I dropped it off and I thought they were going to call me to let me know it was completed but they never did I just showed up and it was done so having someone call you to let you know your clothes are completed would be nice. I got quoted 40 bucks for the alterations which isn't a big deal it's kinda cheap to be honest which was great but when I got there he raised the price to 45 which isn't a huge deal but don't change the price unless I was notified earlier. Overall it wasn't that bad the quality of work was really good but the service could be a little better. Though for the price I would probably come back. read more

Prior to calling Vas, I called a few other alteration places near home, in need of a suit altered. Not only was Vasile the easiest to talk to, his prices beat all the others by a landslide! I will definitely be returning! read more

Not an expert on tailors, but my son and I had tuxes altered here, and the service was excellent. Quick, courteous, and the end result was good. I highly recommend for all you alterations and tailoring needs. read more

The 2 gentlemen that run this shop are very friendly and professional. I am from Houston where it usually costs $6.00 to get a pair of pants hemmed. Everyone in Austin charges $12.99. These guys have very fair pricing for hemming pants in the Austin market. They did a great job hemming my pants and matched the thread to the color of my pants. I dropped my pants off on Friday and got them back on Monday. They also sell and custom tailor men's suits. I will be back. Thank you for your good work! read more

I've had mixed results with this shop. In my first encounter with Continental Tailors, they were recommended by the sales staff at Jos. A Bank, and they did a great job in a hurry on suits for myself and my son for my Dad's funeral (not cheap, but they did do a nice job quickly). Unfortunately, this was followed by a much worse second experience: I recently took them an overcoat and a sport coat to alter, and the results were so bad I'm going to have to have them fixed elsewhere and contest the credit card charge. (I took them back once already, and the result is scarcely better the second time.) In this case, I had sleeves shortened, and on the overcoat, where there is a visible seam on the cuff, the stitching is quite visibly crooked. The tailor also neglected to mark the fabric that needed to be taken in below the back collar of the sport coat, so I could not wear it for the speaking engagement I bought it for. On both the sport coat and the overcoat, they did not shorten and restitch the sleeve lining, they just folded it up, pressed it, and left it stitched to the sleeve where it was. This is just lazy, prone to snag on my watch, and not at all what I expected for $65.00. That's a shame, because I was actually planning on having them make me a custom suit, but after this fiasco, I'm not about to risk that kind of money. I thought I'd found a good tailor, but after my second encounter with them, I won't be back... read more

If there was one place I would go to get an alteration it would have to be Vas. He's got a great talent with what he does and he makes it very affordable. I've also seen the finished product of a custom made suit and it looked amazing. I've even altered my jeans and they fit better than before. I've gotten multiple suits altered by Vas and they were done perfectly and done a lot earlier than expected (great for when I had my interview). Thank you very much Vas! read more

Quality work , affordable prices and good service. Thank you Vas !

I needed a blazer tailored asap since I had an emergency flight in the morning. Even though I only got there at 4:00 pm, I was able to get my blazer back, tailored nicely, a few hours later. Vasile was very friendly and helpful. Fast turn-around was a real life-saver. read more

I had a Pottery Barn black-out curtain that I needed altered completely (it was fit for a long vertical window, but I needed it for a wide horizontal window). I went to a different tailor, and they actually said they couldn't do it because it was too difficult. I went to Continental Tailors, and he decided that he could do it (for a fair price too). It wasn't ready on time, but he was able to get it done fairly soon after that. When I brought it home, it was longer on one side than the other (like an inch). I brought it back, and he fixed it and it looks great. It was a tough job, so I'm not too upset about it being hard for him to complete the job. It just wasn't the same type of tailor that I am used to in Houston where I moved from (meaning, my previous tailor was a perfectionist and pretty punctual with the work). You'll get the job done here but my experience wasn't stellar. read more

Vasile was a lifesaver! Was in from out of town for a wedding and Mens Wearhouse gave me tux pants that were 4 inches too short! I called Vasile at Continental less than 2 hours before we had to leave for the wedding, and he fixed my pants and saved the day. Would recommend him and his shop to everyone. Great job and even nicer people! read more

They always to a wonderful job for a reasonable price. Real tailoring is becoming a lost art.

I was in a bind and needed to have a suit altered by Monday, and it was Friday. I called Vas and dropped off my suit at 12:30pm, by 4:30pm that same day the suit was ready and looked great. I would highly recommend them and although they may not always be able to turn around alterations that quick they did exceed my expectations and the price was very fair, close to what I paid for a normal alteration at Jos A. Bank. read more

I was in a bind and needed a few suits hemmed and altered for a conference in a couple days. I didn't realize most places require a couple weeks turnaround time. I had bought the suits Jos A. Bank, and they told me they couldn't get it done for me in time. They recommended Vas at Continental Tailors down the street. I called and he said he could help me out. I thought the prices were pretty comparable (if not lower) based on the half a dozen or so tailors I called around town. I asked him if he could at least get 2 of the 3 suits done by the following day, and he said he would try. I dropped them off around 2 or 3pm. Vas was quick to measure the suits on me, and he didn't try to push his suggestions too much when I said I could live without having some of the jackets altered. When I called the next day around the same time, he told me he had actually gotten all 3 of them done! I paid around 80 bucks for all 3 suits (3 pants hemmed and cuffed, 2 of the pants needed additional altering around the waist/seat/crotch areas, and I also got 1 or 2 of the jackets altered). I would definitely use Vas and Continental Tailors again. He was a pretty down to earth guy, and he provided me with good, quick work at a reasonable price. read more

They are great if you need something quick done and can *be there* while they do it. I was told to go to them because I needed a suit tailored quickly ahead of job interviews. When I told them I had 7 days to get basic alterations done before I needed it, they told me to come back in 6 days. I didn't hear from them so called on the 7th day (interviews were on the 8th), and they told me to pick it up at 4 PM, but they didn't start work on it until I arrived to pick it up. Roughly 45 minutes later, I tried on the suit and they were the wrong pants -- they had mixed my suit up with someone else's. It took a full two and a half weeks to get my original pants back. During that time, I was assured that it was OK, because, as they said, the other guy didn't want my pants -- as if my intention was to donate my suit parts to anyone who wanted them. So, while I would trust them to do basic work *while you are there*, I would not leave anything with them. read more
