    Señor Escobar is the best in town. On my first visit, he greeted me warmly and chatted for a bit. After doing some quick measurements, he showed me 4-5 excellent options. I am picky with clothing fit so I narrowed it down to 1 option but still not perfect. He was patient with me and took time to think about how to tailor the jacket and pants. After a few alterations, the whole set fit beautifully. Señor even gave me a nice fabric cover free of charge. You won't regret visiting Escobar Tailors. Truly a gem in the East Bay. Price: $$-$$$ - Cheaper suits may go for 300-400. Mine was 600 (Ralph Lauren). Alterations are in the 50-100 range for pants and 100-150 range for jackets. 100% worth it. Quality: 9/10 - His collection is of exceptional quality. The only caveat: this is a small shop with less variety than you'll find at bigger retailers. Service: 10/10 - Would highly recommend to family and friends. Staff: 10/10 - Some of the nicest people out there. Family-owned small business. Turnaround: 8/10 - You may need 2-4 weeks to get a perfect fit. Plan in advance! He may be willing to accommodate urgent needs. Se habla español. Los sastres tienen un montón de experiencia. Es el mejor lugar para alteraciones de ropa formal. ¡No te arrepentirás!

    My boyfriend came here to get his suit altered and we had the best experience! We came in kind of stressed because he needed his suit in two weeks which is a pretty tight turnaround. The man helping us reassured us that he would have it done. We paid $180 for an expedited service which included alterations to the butt area, crotch area, a length hem and a sleeve hem on the jacket. We came in exactly 2 weeks later and everything was ready and looked amazing! Great service, attention to detail, and the guy who I believe might have been the owner had dad jokes to spare some of which were very funny :) Also, great selection of suits available for purchase

    Before - Shoulder Pads, Sleeves waaay too big, long sleeves & tons of extra fabric at the top.

    I love Escobar Tailors. As a very petite woman it's hard to find clothes that fit me off the rack. Believing in the idea that you feel your best when you look your best, I often get pieces tailored to fit me like a glove. After reviewing & consulting with other places I found Escobar Tailors & now can't trust anyone else!! So far they've transformed two evening dresses for me & I can't be more thankful. One of them (pictured below) is my wedding dress for when my husband & I eloped in October last year. It was too big for me everywhere despite buying the smallest size available. Look at the dramatic transformation! With a piece for an event as special as this I wouldn't have trusted anyone else. Thank you so much for everything you do! I've found my go to tailor, I'll definitely be back.

    I recently went to Susanna at Escobar Tailors and she was so kind, so helpful and did an outstanding job hemming my sleeves for my wedding blazer! Thank you so much Susanna! I'm so happy with your work! I've had a suit adjusted here before and they did a fantastic job with that as well! Escobar Tailors is my go to tailor for the East Bay, they are truly fantastic!

    Ask the Community - Escobar Tailors

    Just a ballpark figure on how much to shorten the sleeves of a men's dress shirt from 34" to 32"?

    Hello, it’s best to come in and get a specific quote for the work you need. There are some variables that can impact pricing. No appointment needed. Thank you!

    Do you shorten sleeves on a leather jacket?

    Yes we can, but sometimes it depends on the style. Please bring it in so we can assess and provide an estimate. Thank you.

    Do you fix designer bag?

    Apologies, we don’t.

    Hi, do you do alterations on suede garments?

    Yes we do! Feel free to call or stop by. Thank you.

    Can you stitch a name on my scrubs?

    I’m sorry, we are closed.

    Do you do snap replacement or repair on jackets? One snap needs replacement.

    I’m sorry, but we do not offer this service. Thank you.

    Do you offer Darning for jeans? If so, is there a cost?

    Yes, we do. Cost depends on how much we need to do, assuming we can fix it. Please come in with your garment and get a free quote. Thank you.

    So Im wondering how much it would cost to get two pairs of jeans tapered here?

    Thanks for your inquiry. It's hard to give a flat fee. We would hate to over estimate (or under estimate) what you need. I encourage you to come in and get fitted. Thank you and see you soon.

Atlas, i.e. men's apparel, accessories, and items are front and center when you walk in the door. Athena, i.e. women's apparel, accessories, and items are to the right of the entrance. The clothing is hip and cool, and the fabrics and high quality. The jeans are lux and the tops are cozy and feel good to the touch. It's a larger space than the Atlas location in Walnut Creek, so they're able to carry a lot of styles for both men and women! Speaking of styles, their displays are set up by trend and not by vendor, so you can quickly put together a casual, trendy, or sophisticated outfit. They are the *only* place that carries the G-Star brand for BOTH men AND women outside of G-Star retail locations. Other vendors in their collection include the Canadian labels Dex and Tulle. In addition, they carry the Groceries label, created by a local from Pleasant Hill : ) Their target market is from 25 y.o. - 50 y.o., but the owner said that he hopes that younger and older clients will find their clothing accessible as well. *Note: The clock tower will be getting a makeover, as well as the doors to the store, and ultimately the entire plaza to make it more of a shopping destination, so watch for changes to come! *Tip: You can find out about their in-store wine tasting events with Do-Good Wines on their Facebook page : )

I really wanted to love this Purpose Built sweatshirt, but there are some serious design flaws that need to be addressed. First and foremost, the drawstring is dangerously long. I've had multiple close calls--almost catching it on fire or having it get caught in doors or other objects. There is no practical reason for a drawstring to be this long, and it poses a real safety hazard. Please fix this. Now for the other details: Pros: Warm and thick material: It definitely keeps you warm in colder conditions. Stylish design: It has a modern look that's easy to pair with everyday outfits. Cons: Poor stitching: After just a short time of wear, the seam on the right sleeve already came undone. Very disappointing. Sizing runs small: I bought a medium and tried it on in store, and it fit great at first. But after just one wash, it shrunk significantly and now fits more like a small. I recommend sizing up one or even two sizes, especially if you plan to machine wash it. Final Thoughts: This sweatshirt has potential, but between the hazardous drawstring and the quality control issues, it's not something I can recommend just yet. After taxes, you're looking at over a $70 sweatshirt, and for that price, the quality should be much better.

One of the items I was returning did not have a tag, which occasionally happens when items are shipped. She told me, in a harsh tone, that if I ever brought an item without a tag again, the return would not be accepted. I explained that the trousers had arrived that same day and were sent to me without a tag. Her response felt accusatory, as though I had done something wrong. When I mentioned that items should be sent with tags attached, she said she was not responsible and was only enforcing store policy. The situation escalated when she abruptly stopped the return, threw the items she had already processed back toward me, and loudly said, "I will not help you--go to someone else," while making dismissive gestures. I was very shaken and confused by the way I was treated, as I have never attempted to return worn items or abuse the return policy in any way. --She did not greet me when I approached, unlike the other cashiers, and appeared visibly upset. I left the store feeling shaken and had to take a moment before driving away. I asked for her name so I could follow up with a manager, but I was unable to get it.

They also got rid of their scanning systems, which makes it less convenient and harder, as you have to wait in line at the changing room to get pricing.
