Uploading the image through the website and explaining what I needed could not have been simpler. (And helped me avoid toting three toddlers in my car across town to place an order). Within an hour or so, I received a friendly email asking me to specify the shirt color and size. Shortly after I replied, I received a proof via email and I asked if I could pick it up in 48 hours. They said, "Of course!" and actually had it finished before the deadline and called to let me know. When I arrived at the store to pick it up, I asked if I could park out back and run in quickly, but whoever was staffed that day brought it out to me. A wonderful consumer experience and the t-shirt made my brother's day. I hope I need to order more shirts from them one day because they did a great job and provided a hassle-free experience. Very much appreciated.

As someone on the shorter side with a large waist-to-hip ratio, I often need my clothes tailored to get the fit just right. The pricing is very fair at $20 for a hem, $15 for a waist take-in, and varying for a few other services. They are cash only and can provide change if needed. The turn around time varies, but usually is about a week or two. I've never needed anything rushed, but I'm sure they will work with you if needed! I am removing one star only because there have been two times I went to pick up an item on the agreed upon date and the items weren't ready. This was an inconvenience, but hasn't happened in a while. My most recent visit: I dropped off a pair of pants on Monday morning and received a text on Wednesday that the pants were ready for pickup -- a few days early. I don't usually receive a text when the items are ready, but greatly appreciate the increased communication and confirmation! Always glad to support a small business in the area & will continue to do so.

It's mostly old 60's-90's Records but there is still a small selection of newer recent records made now. If you live close or even live far and are looking for old 60's-90's records I would 100% recommend this place. But the only downside I would say is if you are only going there to look for newer records I would not recommend going there unless you live close but if you live far I would not recommend, just because they don't have a lot of newer records. Overall this store is great and has a lot of records, the workers there are really nice and I would recommend going here!

If you want a sport coat or jacket fitted perfectly (direct alterations and taking in a suit), this is the guy. He wasn't afraid to make crucial alterations like cutting the body of the jacket by the shoulders, and you can easily tell he knew what he was talking about. Everyone understands that with professional clothing, sizing/fit to your body certainly matters. Before his alterations my jacket kind of gave off a boxy figure, didn't really lay on my chest, shoulders stuck out (and the padding made it stick out even more) and the sleeves didn't line up like I had wanted. After his alterations, it literally felt like it was custom-made to fit me PERFECTLY (afterwards I kinda wish I had asked him not to make it such a perfect fit, in case I put on a few pounds). Price tag? $150 (I only had a $100 on me when I first went since I figured that's how much it would be, I was glad to pay him the other $50 after the fitting). Honestly though, I know other tailors that charge only a third of that, but I've seen their work and it is nowhere near comparable to Cornelio. And for the expensive clothing pieces in your wardrobe, where the tailoring really does matter, I would rather pay the extra $$ for quality service (to all the people complaining about the price tag)
