NOTE....... THE NEW ADDRESS for this business is as follows…read more.. 330 S. Naperville Rd. Suite 103 Wheaton, IL 630.487.7048 I recently took two pair of black pants to J. Luis Escalante to shorten and one pair to add an adjustment to the waistband. I just picked them up today and they are perfect! He is such a friendly, knowledgeable tailor. I will be using him for any alteration needs I have in the future. Mary P.

I've been going to LC Tailoring for a couple of years and have always been happy with their work…read more In the past, I've only needed minor hems, but unfortunately, my most recent experience with a formal gown was very disappointing. I brought my gown in on a Monday, along with the low heels I planned to wear. I explained exactly where I wanted the dress to fall, and we discussed the length. When he asked when I needed it, I mentioned that I had overheard him tell another customer alterations would take two weeks, so I completely understood if he couldn't accommodate me. He assured me, "It's OK. Yours doesn't require a lot of work, and I can get it done for you by Friday." He quoted me $75, and I trusted his judgment. Unfortunately, when I returned home and tried it on, I didn't have time to go back since I was leaving for a flight the next morning for my out of state event. I noticed the gown was far too long and dragging on the floor, even with the exact shoes I had brought to the fitting. I end up wearing a different pair of shoes with a higher heel. About two weeks later, I returned to explain the issue and hopefully have it corrected since the length was dramatically wrong. I approached the conversation politely, but instead of acknowledging the problem, he told me, "That's what happens when it's rushed." I explained that I understood the time frame was short, but he had assured me at the fitting he could complete the work. And he could've initially told me no and I would've been fine with that. When I asked why he was making it sound like it was my fault, he responded, "It is your fault." His exact words. That response was incredibly disappointing, especially after being a loyal customer for years. I never demanded a rushed job. I specifically gave him the opportunity to decline, and he assured me it wouldn't be a problem. Mistakes happen, and I would have been completely understanding if he had simply acknowledged the issue and offered to make it right. What bothered me most wasn't the poorly hemmed gown, but the way I was treated when I returned. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be returning to LC Tailoring.

I imagine that this is the tailors that the Corleone's would have used to get the bullet holes out…read moreof their suits. The elderly Italian gentlemen that run this business barely speak English even though I know they've been in the country longer than I've been alive (30 years). However, the language of clothes is global. As the previous reviewer stated it is not the most organized place but, the customer area and changing rooms are spotless. They've never misplaced an order of mine so I could careless how unorganized there work area is as long as it doesn't affect me as the customer. I've used them mostly for suit alterations and occasionally a coat or shirt but my mother uses them for everything. They do a good job on both men's and women's clothing. They may cost more than your cleaners or dept. stores (I don't use other places so I'm not sure) but for the quality I've received I would happily pay more if needed.

I feel like this is your stereotypical tailor. A small, slightly unkempt store, two older, dapper…read moreforeign gentlemen, and the tools of the trade clearly visible. While one helped me get sleeves shortened on a suit coat, the other was working on alterations just a few feet away. Kind of a cool vibe. I have family members that have used this tailor several times - it came recommended to us by someone...can't remember who...might even have been a Nordstrom sales person (yet another reason to love Nordstrom) and it was described to me as "not the cleanest" and maybe even smelling of smoke. The store does has a scent to it. Not sure if it's smoke, or dry cleaning solvent, or hot irons, or what. My jacket sleeves were $20 - I have no idea what this should cost, but it would have been more had I taken it back to where I bought it, I'm pretty sure. There were unable (or unwilling) to attempt to lengthen the sleeves on a top coat with working buttons. I can't hold that against them, as logic tells me that if you rolled the hem out on the sleeves, the buttons and button holes wouldn't line up any more, and you can't exactly remove a button hole. This is what I get for buying nice things. Anyway, picked up the jacket a week later, and the work was fine. I mean, it wasn't anything too difficult, but they did a good job at it. My jacket does have a little bit of a smell to it after being in the shop...again, I don't think it's smoke, but it's not pleasant. Hopefully it will air out a bit. One note - cash or check only. Sigh. How many times have I said it - Charge me more to cover the transaction fee and get a credit card machine. They're lucky I had cash - I almost never do.
