    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.

    Macy's Defective Bed Frames and Terrible Return Experience…read more I purchased two Gaomon Farmhouse Queen Bed Frames from Macy's online on May 29, 2026, for a total of $910.50. The beds were delivered on June 5, 2026, and both began breaking during assembly. The manufactured wood panels cracked, hardware pulled through the material, and parts separated before assembly was completed. The furniture is made from poor-quality particle board and could not withstand normal assembly. Not only did I pay to have the beds assembled, but I also had to pay someone to take both beds apart after they failed. I then spent additional time repackaging four large, heavy boxes for return. The return process has been a nightmare. The seller failed to respond to my June 13, 2026 email. I made several calls to Macy's on different dates seeking assistance. I was told UPS would arrive with shipping labels and pick up the beds. UPS came on Saturday 6/20/26 without labels and rightfully refused to take the four large boxes without labels. I then had to spend another $16.15 to arrange a second pickup. The only positive part of this experience was Wilma Camarillo, a Macy's Customer Care Advocate. After spending 49 minutes on the phone with me on June 9th, I emailed photos of the damage beds per her request, and after reviewing photos of the damage , she was finally able to arrange a UPS pickup. Wilma was professional, patient, and genuinely helpful. What makes this situation even more frustrating is that the purchase was charged to my Macy's credit card. While I am waiting for Macy's and the seller to complete the return process and issue a refund, interest charges continue to accrue on a defective product that arrived damaged and unusable. Customers should not have to pay interest on merchandise that failed during assembly and is being returned. Between the defective furniture, assembly and disassembly costs, repackaging four large boxes, failed pickup attempts, lack of seller communication, multiple phone calls, and ongoing credit card interest charges, this has been one of the worst furniture purchasing experiences I have ever had. I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with both the product and the return process. I will never purchase furniture from Macy's again and strongly caution others before purchasing this bed frame.
