The only reason I left 1 star is because I got my stuff on time! This man is extremely rude, he's overpriced and doesn't value his customers! He makes you feel like you're getting his services for free and has the nerve to ask customers if they want the service or not. I'd never return here. read more

Charged me 150$ for NEXT DAY pick-up. They told me they would call me when it was ready, and I never received a phone call. My order wasn't ready when they said it would be and they couldn't even give me a courtesy call to let me know. read more

They did exactly what I needed for my work slacks. I needed some gemming and stitch repair in the seat and belt area. They looked brand new when I got them back. read more

Ted was very helpful, reasonably priced, and with quick turn around time. I had my wedding dress hemmed and requested a custom face mask from the extra material so I could have a mask that matched my dress. Definitely recommend this place for anyone who needs a tailor. read more

You can tell how skillfull this guy is by the way he carries himself. Super fast, and my alterations come out great every time. I hope he passes down his craft down to somebody, because it would be a shame if he didn't. read more

Best tailor in Redlands! Brought a dress in 3 days before a wedding and he had it ready for us in time. Excellent customer service! I won't go anywhere else read more

Ted is hands down the best tailor around. I have used Teds services for 15 plus years. He is currently making me a complete custom Tuxedo. I look forward to many RE years of quality service from Ted and his shop. read more

My first experience with Express tailoring was the repair of a very fancy top for a dressy event. I needed the garment for the next day, and it was ready ahead of time. The work was neat and professional. My second experience with this hope involved the alteration of a linen shirt that was too large, with sleeves that were way too long. The work was done promptly and professionally. No one would ever have known that a needle touched the shirt, and the results were excellent. Prices are reasonable, and the owner has a rock-solid commitment to high quality. This is now my go-to tailor. I highly recommend this business. read more

Very professional and neat work done by the tailor. It was easy too. He had me stand up, used needles to mark the alterations on the shirts i was tailoring, and that was it. I paid $34 for 3 things per shirt: shortening the arms, shortening the length, and slimming the shirt down. For the individual services, the prices are decent. If I remember correctly, it was $8 for the arms, $8 for the length, and $16 for the slimming. pretty average prices and good work. I am actually currently wearing one of the shirts I had tailored here at the moment. Also, as far as the length shortening went, I asked for him to maintain the curves at the bottom, and he did it well. I will probably come here again in the future. but not if I eventually learn to tailor shirts myself, which is as goal of mine! otherwise, you wouldn't be wrong to try out this place! I asked him about his years of experience and he said around 30 or 40 years. It shows. TIP: debit and credit cards are an extra 1.75 fee, if I am not mistaken. However, there are limits to the cards that he accepts in the sense that credit cards with rewards may get declined. I have Chase Freedom and it wouldn't process the transaction on the machine. My debit card worked fine. He also allowed me to pay the full price either up front or after the work was complete. Nice to know that he's flexible. read more

I was surprised when reading the other reviews to see that people have felt Ted was rude to them. Obviously people have good and bad days and people have varying interactions with others, so there's no point in arguing about anything. I'll say from my experience that Ted has been very kind, conversational, and professional to me. Maybe it's just his European-ness that throws some people off ... In any case, I go here primarily for dry cleaning but almost always have some small repair or alteration that needs to be done as well. Ted has never made a mistake on any piece of clothing and I have always been very satisfied with the results. He is very fair and will even tell you when a project might not be worth undertaking such as a rip in my dress pants that would have been unsightly even with the best repair job. I thought this was very professional as it was clear to me he wasn't just trying to take my money. As far as dry cleaning goes, the price is about average for others in the area. But while the other dry cleaners in the area have made mistakes with ironing, not removing stains, creating their own stains, losing buttons, et cetera ... I have never had an issue with any piece of clothing that I've handed to Ted. There's nobody else I would trust my dress clothes with, for cleaning, repairs, or alterations. He gets five stars because this is the best tailoring and dry cleaning establishment I have ever used. P.S. Ted does take debit and credit cards, but charges a small fee for them. Just a clarification regarding another review. read more

I've been coming to Ted since 2009 and can't express enough how satisfied and delighted I have been with his service. I have had him tailor suits, business and casual button ups, made my fat ties skinny, made my jeans skinny, slacks, sweaters, gym clothes and jackets. All of them have come out great. When Ted raised his prices (inflation) I went around to all the tailors in Redlands to see what they wanted for the same hem and all were the same price as Ted. The one thing that Ted does differently is, he greets me, knows my name and gets stuff done in 2-3 business days at no extra charge. I'm an impatient person, so waiting a week to get something tailored is a little frustrating. Also, I know Ted's work and know that he is going to get it right the first time. I saw some people commented that Ted is rude. I have NEVER had that experience. He jokes with me every time I come in. Maybe because he has an accent, people find his personality brash, but I think he is a wonderful, friendly caring person. He is just more serious than most laid back So Cal people. Try Ted before you try any other tailor in Redlands. I guarantee you wont be disappointed. read more

THEY MOVED OVER BY BIG-5!!! Ted is Fabulous! I had a suit and tux basically rebuilt, they were done fast and with flawless attention to detail. Ted has wonderful people skills and his alterations are perfect. I'll never have work done anywhere else!!! read more

Dropped in today to have a suit altered for my wedding and the owner greeted me right away and was very courteous. He showed me to the dressing room and since I've never had a suit altered he was very polite guiding me through the process. After some pinning and a few questions I felt very confident I was at the best tailor around my area. I'm wasn't in a huge rush and I asked if a week was enough time to finish the job up and he said no problem. So overall if are you looking for alterations, dry cleaning etc. then this is the spot for you! read more

I needed 3 pairs of pants hemmed for my new job. I walked in with them 90 minutes before they closed, and they were happy to accommodate me. Pricing was extremely reasonable, especially for a rush job, and the whole time the service received was friendly, positive, and stellar. They even pressed them as a courtesy. I didn't even think to try on the pants and make sure they were done correctly until I got home. When I did, all 3 pairs were hemmed so perfectly that I couldn't even believe it. The folks that work here must really have some passion for their work, because they absolutely do it well. I will refer all of my friends and family to this place, and look forward to making it my go-to alterations place from now on! read more

Great work and have been goin to them ever since they have the old place... reallly busy coz they do great patch up work and suits

Recently used them for my wedding weekend outfits and that were amazing!!! Very nice and good price. Will definitely be coming back anytime I need something. read more

I was nervous to try a new tailor, but I got a little tear in my Armani jacket while on a business trip, and it needed help. I have since been many times and have gotten nothing but top-notch service each time. Ted does a wonderful job caring for my high-end suits. read more

I have taken many items here over the years including several suits for my husband and can testify that the work is good quality. I'm heading over today with a skirt that needs to be taken in read more

I came in at 11:00am. Needed pants altered for next day. He was able to get it back to me by 5:30pm the same day for my son's football game the next day. Great work! Understood my emergency, highly recommend! read more

The owner, Ted, is an absolute gem - extremely professional, courteous, great at his job, REALLY knows what he's talking about. I've now had four formal dresses altered there (prom, and three bridesmaid dresses) and I know my whole family takes anything there they need altered as well. Prices aren't a rip-off and the quality of work is exceptional. This is a place that I have gone to on a regular basis, even for emergency alterations when they came "custom fitted" and didn't fit at all one week before a wedding, and he's always been accommodating. I wouldn't go anywhere else while he's still in business! read more

I had my wedding dress fitted here and they made my dress fit me exactly as it should, while I was picking it up they offered to make a custom veil for me as I had not gotten one yet. Wow! They are so very talented and did an amazing job. I recommended all my bridesmaids get their dresses tailored here as well as my husbands suit! Thank you for making my wedding look so wonderful at such reasonable prices! I will never trust anyone else with my tailoring again read more

This guy does quality work. His people skills leave a little to be desired but the price is reasonable. I dropped off 3 coats that needed to be taken in on the sides and he did them all for $36 and it took about a week. I read on a previous review that he prefers cash but I forgot that when I went to pay. But he reminded me. He says that credit card companies actually charge him a lot of money. For a small independant businessman, it's probably reasonable to ask that people bring cash (or debit cards if not cash). For the price and quality of his work, I'll definitely use him again. read more

Measurement is fast, pricing is reasonable, return to pick-up date is good (3 days, I believe tailor can do it faster/earlier than I requested). Fit afterwards was good BUT symmetry of sewing was not right, causing some uneven natural folding/slack of pants, and "corner/edges" are not simmilar because the inner extra fabric was sown facing different directions. Hemming on one leg was done longer on one side, and was curved. Minimal problems unseen unless closer inspection is done, but those are quite more important to me than pricing. read more

Excellent service every time! I've been coming here for a year and I've had jeans and dress pants tapered and hemmed perfectly. He has done a wonderful job on jumpsuits and wide leg pants that are made from delicate fabrics. The owner is friendly and always remembers me when I come in. Reasonable prices and fast turnaround. Highly recommend! read more

I called this place on the phone the person who picked was completely rude and hard to understand. I wouldn't give this place any of my business. Don't waste your time. read more

Needed to get some pants shortened and he got the job done quickly and skillfully. Would go back again.

I dropped off a brand new dress to have tailored and I made sure that it was in pristine condition when I dropped it off. When I picked it up there were two small dark brown dot stains near the shoulder of the dress that I noticed immediately and told the lady it wasn't there when I dropped it off. She said that it was my makeup which could not have been any further from the truth seeing that I am a pale Asian and the stain was dark brown and don't own any makeup that would resemble that. Plus my dress zips up in the back so it doesn't even go over my head when I put it on so there is no way that it could have been my make up. She then said it was probably someone else's make up that wore the dress before me which is absurd because I would have noticed the stain immediately because I am very OCD. So I paid $28 for the alterations plus another $2 fee for using a credit card which they did not mention to me when I dropped the dress off. I picked up the dress up a few days later after they said they would dry clean it for me for free and when I picked it up the guy said again that it was my make up. I didn't argue because it was pointless. I looked at the dress again and there were other small dark brown stains lower in the dress which meant that they didn't really dry cleaned it but just spot cleaned the first stain. He then said that I didn't pay because the lady didn't stamp a paid sign on it but I'm 10000% sure I did. Told him to call the lady because she would remember me from making a big stink about the $2 extra charge. Worst experience. Suffice to say I won't be bringing my business here. read more

Would not come here again. Brought in a dress to get it tailored, the dress was only $20, the fee for tailoring was $56?! I didn't even know the price until he finished all the pinning and wrote the price on a card for me. All I asked for was to get the dress shortened and slimmer on the sides. There's also $2 transaction fee if you don't have cash, which I wasn't informed until I got there and there was no atm near by. I was pretty disappointed from my experience there. read more

Ted is the best! He was recommended by one of my friends to tailor my wedding dress. I have recommended him to everyone who has been looking for a tailor. He is so fast and a master of his craft! He also custom tailored my matron of honor dress for my sister's wedding, which required gutting the whole top half. He is a miracle worker! read more

Horrible customer service!! After being overcharged when I picked my dress up he acted like he was disgusted by something. It's really sad cuz the yelp reviews were mixed so I gave them a try and regret it horribly. Then I get home and my dress has some spots, so off to another place with hopefully better luck. read more

Cons: Relatively pricey, clothes had bad odor after being dry cleaned, tags are stapled to clothing labels, so I ruined a few labels trying to remove the tag and staple. Pros: Friendly service. Clothes were ready on time. Got a stain out that I didn't even mention. read more

They tailored my wedding dress for me back in October. They took it in at the sides ( 4+ inches, if I remember correctly), as well as hemming the skirt, shortening the straps, and adding in cups at the bodice. When I picked my dress up from the boutique, It was at least 2 sizes too large, as I had sized up planning to get it taken in at the waist and then ended up losing 25 lbs on top of that. They made it fit beautifully and it was done in an extremely timely manner. They were also really kind and professional. read more

I needed a dress altered for a wedding in 2 days. I am very happy with the alteration. It was fast, well done, reasonably priced. I will definitely return here for alterations. read more

Very nice people and great work your cloths! They even repaired my wife's fancy dress that was damaged by another tailor. The owner has tailored 4 full suits and 5 shirts including my weeding outfit. Never an issue. Always flawless. My wife's dress was also boxed by him. I have since referred my father in law and other family members and everyone has been happy. He is definitely our guy!! read more

For alterations this is the best one that I've found in this area. I've had two bridesmaids dresses altered here because David's Bridal was charging an arm and a leg. Prices are decent in comparison and he works with you if you're in a time crunch. Each dress came out perfectly. He also tells you exactly what he recommends and what will/won't work which I really appreciate since I don't know a thing about alterations. read more

I will definitely be using Ted again. Not only did he do a great job with the alterations on my bridesmaid dress (which had intricate beading along the bodice), but he was able to have it clean and ready when I needed it :) His very pleased and will recomend him to anyone who needs a tailor read more

I WAS a happy returning customer for a lot of my suits until I brought my girlfriend to get some of her alterations done. she wanted something specifically done a bridesmaid dress but the owner/tailor seemed to have the I-know-it-all attitude and was resistant about her request. My gf gave in and went with his "I've been doing this for many years" suggestion. We return and she tries on the altered dress and was unsatisfied what he wanted so she had him fix it to her original specifications. We then return to get it altered the way she wanted but the dress wasn't even touched! We wasted our time coming back. I gave him a chance that we would let him fix it but if he could give us a discount for the inconvenience and being a long loyal customer. He absolutely blew up with an attitude and refused! He said he's the best tailor and can try other tailors and that he has the "best price"! My girlfriend was tired of dealing with his bad attitude and customer service we went elsewhere. Well we went with another tailor since and she has been wonderful with much better prices! He lost two customers to his Armenian pride or whatever he is. Warning: accept ONLY cash, customer is NOT right here, and very bad people skills read more

I took a dress to a tailor in Highland to get shortened, and she did a really poor job on the stitching. Then, I took the dress here to get the stitching removed and to have the owner redo it. I picked it up this morning and I'm SO happy with how it came out! There are some visible holes that were left from the other stitching, which I expected, but it's barely noticeable. Needless to say, I'm just gonna stick to Express Tailoring if I need anything else done. read more

I've been getting my pants, slacks, and jeans tapered and cut from Ted for the past 5 years and he hasn't let me down once. Time constraints are not an issue for him the, turnaround time is always fast (within a week depending on item amount), pricing is always reasonable. I have never had to make a second trip to him, always gets it done right the first time around. Owner has always been a pleasure to work with. He expresses his opinion because he is a professional tailor that has been doing this for years, He will always give you his suggestion, if you choose to do otherwise that is to your own risk. He always tells me "I can always take away fabric, but I cannot add it back on." Which I respect and always take into consideration when making my alteration decision. Also if you have gotten something tailored before and want those exact measurements on another item, bring it in and he will happily match the measurements to the item your wanting to tailor. Overall I will not take my alterations to anyone else but Ted in the Inland Empire. He knows what he's doing if you know what you want. If you don't know, he will help you find out what you want. read more

Been getting all my alterations here for the last 9 years. Pants, shirts, jackets. Excellent job and perfect fit everytime. A true craftsman
