I had a great experience with Sir Erwin. I had my pants resized. The service was fast and he was very gentle! I totally recommend this place. read more

I did not realize that getting jeans tailored would cost $35 a pair. Oof. It takes a week. And it's $35 a pair. And one pair seems to be too short. Maybe that's normal but I was surprised. So just... fyi I guess? I'll find somewhere else to get anything tailored in the future. read more

Consistent, high-quality tailoring though not at the best prices in the area. I've taken my pants to De Leon for years with no issues or complaints. They have always had my items ready on time. For the most part, they can accommodate rush orders in my experience. read more

I've used this place around 7 times. Although it's well priced, not worth it. The place smells like animal urine, and every time I pick up my clothes the smell comes with it. It's a very gross place. read more

I was driving down the street and I had three dresses in my car that needed some alterations so I thought wow this looks like a cool little spot so I pulled into like like it used to be an old drive-through of some kind and after waiting for a while, they have the same stress come and look at my stuff well... They wanted to charge me 50 bucks to replace the elastic in the arms of dress and we're not talking intricate it's just elastic and you know the dress originally was probably about $300 but I got it on sale for like 25 so now I'm not gonna pay that much... Same for the other two dresses they were extremely outrageously expensive. I'm sure I can get all three of them done for under $40 somewhere so if you're looking for a good value, I'd say keep on looking. read more

i'm a little frustrated. Stop by yesterday and no one was here that could alter my suit. I called this morning and came by again. Sign is flashing open and no one here again. Definitely not good. read more

DIRTY SERVICE -- Difficult review to write: tw sexual assault Went in late in the day last month to get some pants taken in. Immediately the tailor (I'm assuming the owner, I've only ever been seen by him) was overly friendly and he wiggled the jeans and bounced/smacked my butt in awe, which already set me off but I figured it was something he needed to get out of his system. He flipped me around and then said "I like your bra" and started massaging my breasts through my shirt. Fortunately it was the last set of pants, I needed them quickly so I just bolted and freaked once I got home. It's really late to press charges (I'm still looking into it, it's difficult to find proof) but I needed to warn y'all. read more

Great place! Dry cleaning, tailoring. Quick attentive service! I came in for a quick emergency hem on my suit, they got me in and out the same day! Thank you to De Leon Express tailoring! read more

Used to love this local business, followed them here from their original Overland location. Erwin the owner had left me in tears after gas lighting me, started with "hey hey friend, what's the problem?" while looking at the exact issue (a big crooked bulge on my side) his son acknowledged the night before when I originally went to pick my dress up. When I pointed to the messed up side in the mirror, he got belligerent, raising his voice, yelling over and over "I didn't do that! I DON'T CARE! NONO NO, I DON'T CARE!", that he didn't touch it where it was bulging and uneven, and that he won't undo what he had done. I tried to calm him down and reason with him, so that he can SEE what I was talking about and expressed how disappointed I was. He then said that he would fix it for another $65 and then bragged that it was an easy fix for him. DO NOT GO TO THEM for anything that you care about- they're not technically adequate for more than a simple hemming job. WORST EXPERIENCE- I have not seen a grown man throw a tantrum in a place of business like that. I left horrified and sad. I ended up taking my dress to someone else near my house who fixed it for me on the same day for $18. read more

I've been reluctantly coming here the last two years as it's close to my place and every time I do, I regret it. They can never find my items despite bringing a claim ticket. Each trip should be 5 minutes and usually lasts. I recently dropped off a white sheet to get stitched and it came back with all this dirt and muck on it. The didn't offer to even reduce my price by a dollar or two. Messy, disorganized. read more

I came to pick up my pants that had alterationa. It's now twice that they could not find them. 15 minutes later my garment was found. Oh, and they were not even pressed. I'm done. Never to return. read more

They did a great job with my alterations for my dress and pants. Fast service as well. I would recommend.

Absolutely crushed the tailoring for some wedding pants. 10/10 well done. Fair price quick turn around.

For someone who is 5'1 I need a lot of tailoring when it comes to pants - suit pants primarily given my profession. I've gone to De Leon many times and have been very happy with the quality of the alterations performed. The price is also reasonable read more

My experience at De Leon Tailor was so astonishing that it merits every accolade. In an era where true craftsmanship seems to be dwindling, this place stands as a beacon of exceptional skill and customer service. Hugo, in particular, deserves a standing ovation. I was in a dire situation as my friend is to be wed tomorrow on a whim and the TJ maxx only had the perfect dress in a medium and I have heavy naturals so needless to say it needed to be altered. A rush order that seemed impossible in fact, according to six other tailors I visited, couldn't be done let alone in less than a week. Each of them turned me away, some with sympathy, others with barely concealed irritation. But then, I walked into De Leon Tailor, feeling almost defeated, and that's where the magic happened. Hugo greeted me with a calm confidence that immediately eased my nerves. I explained my situation, expecting to hear the same "impossible" I'd been told all day. Instead, Hugo simply smiled and said, "we can do that" He took a look at the dress, had me put it on (De Leon has amazing spacious dressing rooms) made a few quick measurements all to my desires, and to my utter disbelief, promised it would be ready by 6pm-- it was done by 3, a mere 4 hours after I'd dropped it off. I was skeptical but hopeful. Hugo's assurance was convincing enough to light a glimmer of hope in me. And he did not disappoint. Exactly 4 hours later, my dress was ready, looking perfectly as I described my desires. The quality of the work was impeccable, with every detail attended to with the utmost precision. Hugo had accomplished what others deemed impossible, and he did it QUICKLY. Not only did Hugo save the day, but he also restored my faith in the value of exceptional craftsmanship and outstanding customer service. The atmosphere of the shop was welcoming and professional, and the level of expertise evident in every stitch. De Leon Tailor is a rare gem. Hugo's dedication, skill, and ability to deliver under tight deadlines are unparalleled. For anyone in need of tailoring services, especially if you're in a pinch, this is the place to go. You won't be just satisfied; you'll be amazed. Thank you, Hugo, and De Leon Tailor, for turning a stressful situation into a remarkable experience. You've earned a loyal customer for life. read more

Dishonest unethical experience worst -ever do not use these people. This was undoubtedly the worst experience with a tailor in my 77 years. I brought them an unlined suit to have the skirt hemmed and the sleeve shortened. Very, very easy hemming job. The guy who helped me I had the sense didn't know how to pin a garment - he put three pins in. They were not even but I wasn't being too particular about the exact length because it's a midi. Other taylor's I've used before I moved to LA recently always used a chalk spray mounted on a yardstick to mark length exactly. This was highly unprofessional. Nobody's really spoke English so I had to fill out my pick up slip and the guy wrote in one two little zeros . Which I assume was one dollar as a placeholder for when I'd actually pick up the suit later. My fault for not pressing them on the price, but I felt this wasn't the tailor and they needed to consult him When my husband went to pick up the suit, they wanted to charge $100 for the simple hem!! We argued on the phone and I told my husband to just leave the soup behind. I paid less for the suit new. Subsequent to the phone call apparently they lowered the price to $65 and my husband who felt bad picked up the suit and brought it home . I'm not entirely sure they actually have the skirt it seems to be about the same length. But it did have a stain on it now, but high enough up that I could cover it however, the suit jacket has a grease stain now on the color pretty high up that's hard not to see (Photo attached.). This was a brand new suit that had always been in plastic and was in perfect condition when I brought it in and now has two very clear grease stains. one right on collar very noticeable . This is a highly unprofessional Taylor and cleaner. I plan to report them to the BBB as well. My advice stay away. Post note: on day of my so sons ceremony, I put on the skirt to find - IT WASNT SHORTENED! Only the jacket sleeves. This was a most dreadful experience!!! read more

I really would warn others from going here for alterations. They tried charging me $100 for a simple dress hem. This was not an extravagant dress with special fabric or detailing, and there was only one layer. It felt way too overpriced for what it was so I said no and went somewhere else and they quoted me $50. I couldnt believe They tried to charge me double that. felt very scammy. Also didn't speak english. I've been seeing a lot of other reviews on here saying the same thing so clearly this is a common practice for them. read more

Very fast, cool, professional, covering a wide range of garments with a manageable price point.

Javier is a fantastic tailor. They do impeccable work, conveniently located with ample parking in their private parking lot. Javier is always so friendly and a perfectionist at providing excellent tailoring with fair prices ($20 men's pant hem). I would suggest letting them know if you are in a rush, as they seemingly have a lot of customers and projects, and I've had situations where I may need something in a hurry. It's important to communicate this, and if they aren't able to provide the express service, I suggest going somewhere else to be safe. read more

Used to love this place and didn't mind paying a premium for good work. Not sure what happened, but customer service and quality have dropped substantially. They actually introduced a hole into the hem of a pair of jeans I had hemmed, and when I went to have a vintage designer dress altered today, the guy pinned me into it in a way that made it impossible to get out of... and then went upstairs. I waited for him to come back down so I could explain that the proposed alterations would need to be adjusted a bit so, you know, I could actually get the dress on and off. And I kept waiting. And waiting. Took it as a sign to take my stuff somewhere where they're actually paying attention to what they're doing. read more

I'm coming out of Yelp retirement for this one. I had a tuxedo shirt that needed the button holes to be narrowed to accommodate skinny studs. Simple assignment. One bar tack per button hole. The buttons in the tuxedo shirt are removable and stitched to a piece of fabric to keep them together. The guy who took my shirt said they didn't need my studs to narrow the holes and they could do it off measurement alone. I was quoted $20. When I came back a week later, the holes were still too large, they had lost the removable buttons, and the shirt was covered in black dirt on the collar, cuffs, and placket. They told me I never brought them buttons and it wasn't their fault which I argued and after a few minutes of searching they found them stuffed into a drawer. They tried to push me off another week while they fixed it and dry cleaned but I needed it sooner so they agreed to launder the shirt, find the buttons, and fix the holes. They asked me to pay for the work at this time, $20. I came back the next day and the shirt was laundered but had a HEAVY chemical scent that I still can't get out after several washings now. The buttons still weren't closed enough for the studs and at this point I just wanted to leave since clearly they were not able to do the work. They told me I never paid and owed them another $20. I pulled out my receipt and they hemmed and hawed but eventually agreed that I'd paid for the work. There are hundreds of tailors in Los Angeles. Don't waste your time and money on these jokers like I did. read more

I recently purchased a dress on Poshmark and it needed a little bit of altering. My boyfriend has been going to De Leon tailoring for about a year and a half and everything that he has altered has come out excellent. And he is the most critical person to please. He has an eye for detail and doesn't let it go. I dropped off my dress and Javier placed the pins where it needed to be altered and the dress came out fantastically. Javier is the go-to guy for any kind of alterations for your garments. He's laid back but super professional. Was it the cheapest? No. Was it done right the first time? Absolutely yes. I'm so pleased with Javier's work that I bought a second dress in the same style and a different color and I'm going to alter it the same way. Thank you so much for making my dress look even better!! read more

This place is great, and honestly, far too cheap, especially for West LA! I got my fancy schmancy pants hemmed here for 15 bucks. Please note they also have a 9014 Venice location by the strip mall just west of Robertson, which is where I went. Knowing this place is here makes me completely comfortable buying clothes that don't quite fit -- new or used -- and knowing they can fix me right up. read more

If you're a woman, do NOT go here. The male owner is very inappropriate when sizing, adjusting clothing, fitting etc. I felt very uncomfortable when I came in for a dress the first time, then the second it was confirmed. I came to the reviews here after, and saw he was violating other women here as well. Disgusting and awful. read more

I needed my two Lululemon pants tapered, and I was measured quickly when I got there on a Sunday. I was told to pick up Thursday by 5 PM, but I had to go Friday instead. When I came to pick them up, it was as if they had to scavenger hunt for my pants, but they were finally found. The work was seamless and they both fit perfectly the way I wanted. Mine were around $50 for both pants. I would definitely recommend taking a chance on De Leon's for any tailoring needs. read more

I rarely write reviews however sadly felt the need to do so. Like many, I had began going back to the office and needed three brand new suits tailored. So being new to the neighborhood, I decided to give them a go. After a consultation and $430 later, we are good to go. It took three different visits over a month to get everything correct and they tried their best to be accommodating with some suits that probably were a little too tight to begin with, so I appreciated the effort. Fast forward to a month later, one of the pants seams began to came undone. Having waited a month for these, I decided to go to another tailor. The tailor said to me "who did this, they should have never done this work. Why did they do this? Terrible. They also did it wrong!". After getting an earful she did take care of it. Fast forward a week later, another jacket that was not tight at all began to unravel at the seam. Simply put the work was not that great. Expensive, slow, and sloppy. This was an expensive mistake I hope to help others avoid. read more

They just turned me from chicken spit to chicken salad. I'm a tall thin(ish) person who is in-between sizes. They took in some shirts. Now I look good. Great service. Highly recommend. Thanks read more

Similar experience to someone else's review; alterations were not done on time and it was a time sensitive matter for our wedding. They also lost the pants that needed altering, and messed up one of the shirt. read more

I've been going here for a year but that stops immediately. This past week an older man assisted (possibly the owner). I needed a pair of pants tailored. I can out with the pants and he put his hands up the back of my shirt and said "what's this? Oh it's your bra." There was virtually no need to put your hands up my shirt when I'm getting pants tailored. He asked why I was thin and I said bc I lost weight from having a baby. He said I looked great and couldn't tell I had a baby then tried to lift of the front of my shirt to see my stomach. I held onto my shirt so he couldn't pull it up. I stood there in absolute shock and disgust. reading these reviews it appears he has done this to several women and yet is still there. do not support this grimey man. read more

Took in a few pairs of pants to have hemmed, was offered different price points depending on how quickly I needed them done. All prices were very reasonable! read more

"Express" is an insult to how fast they move and produce quality work. Needed quick alternations to my suit jacket. Voila! Perfect fit and high quality stitching. This is my go-to tailor. read more

I really debated on posting this, but I feel like people should know about the quality of altercations you get from here. I went to this place based on the reviews and it being close to my gym. I took two dresses that required several alterations to make it fit, and the price ended up being $90 (which I thought was pretty high). Fast forward a week, I get my two dresses back. One has a hole in the waist that wasn't sewn up. The other had excess fabric in the shoulder that made it bunch. It was not a $90 job at all. I took them back to get fixed, and they were nice about fixing them but didn't even apologize for the shoddy work. I wanted to support a community business, but I was very disappointed with the quality. read more

50% off it says at the front. Awesome. And they're open late during the week too? Great for the 9-5ers. So why the 1 star? Because I needed a dress for an event the next day & ran into multiple issues. 1) My dress (Calvin Klein designer) is layered but everything is attached. I was quoted one price ($9 which I was told is half price usual what?) When I handed the garment over. After it was received by the gentleman there (hmm did you see it was designer & change your mind or is that just a coincidence?) I was then told it would be an additional $6 because of the garment. Interesting. It looks like I wasn't actually going to "save" any money after all but maybe you got thirsty after seeing the label? That's curious. One note- they also said there was no difference in rush charge vs a normal one. Ok so expect them to be majorly overpriced all of the time then! 2)I was initially told that garments go out in the morning & return later in the day. Then when I said that if I found anywhere else which would be able to get it done actual same day or before I needed to attend an event I planned on wearing it to if they'd refund me. Suddenly the story changed. They claimed the garment was going back right away. Right. I called them out & then got my refund. I might not have that dress for my event tomorrow which sucks royally but it wasn't going to be ready according to them anyway (they said at earliest after 6 when my intended event is cross town starting shortly after) so... yeah. Pass. Pass. Pass. read more

I seriously never write reviews but this place should be shut down. Erwin the owner who does the fittings touched my nipple while he was doing a fitting and when I said something he denied it. Then he did it again! I quickly packed my things up and left. After reading the reviews on here I see I am not the only one that's been touched innappropriatley by this pervert. This place should be reported and shut down immediately. You have been warned. Stay away from this place read more

Altered the dress I wore to the Oscars to fit perfectly - not just the length but they took in the waist also to be more shapely on me rather than hanging open and baggy. When I picked it up there was a stain on the dress and I panicked - but they got it out right away, and everything was perfect. Very reasonable prices as well. I will be back! read more

Extremely consistent, reliable, and affordable dry cleaner and tailor. Have gone to them at least 10 times for dry-cleaning, and 5 times for various tailoring needs. Javier, Edwin, and the rest of the team are very nice and knowledgeable. It doesn't hurt that they have an adorable terrier puppy named Principe who's usually hanging around being cute! read more
