Ivan is amazing. He really knows his stuff and is extremely dedicated to his work. I won't go to another tailor after his quality work.

This place is an excellent one. I had my suit pants sized here. The tailor is very creative and did an awesome job. I will go here forever.

Ask the Community - Forest Tailoring

Do they offer same day alterations?

Not sure if they do, but they did my alteration the next day, so I guess, if you ask them nicely... Overall, they came out to me as very accommodating good people who cared… 

I've bought some jeans that are too tight, would this place offer loosening them up by unstitching or even adding another piece of cloth?

I have full confidence in these guys. There's nothing they can't fix, in my opinion. They may need you to purchase fabric? But definitely go there and ask first.

Can they shorten the sleeve of a denim jacket?

Absolutely

I've been coming here for nearly 20 years. Kim usually does decent work but a few recent…read moreexperiences have me questioning her integrity. I've brought in plenty of pants for tapering, shortening, taking in the waist, etc. Last winter I brought in pants that were off the rack and a little long with a 32 length. As usual, I tried them on with shoes and Kim helped measured the length to shorten and I picked them up a week later. Super quick process. I didn't try them on at pickup since I had a lot of work done by her previously so I had no reason to doubt her work. Unfortunately I went 3 months without wearing them but when I did, they were still far too long so I had to bring them in again. I explained the situation and when she examined the pants, she told me it was still the factory stitching so there wasn't any work done by her or any other tailor. I was surprised by that, and that she didn't recognize her own work. I assured her I brought them in just a few months prior. When she remeasured the length, she marked to pants to shorten another 1 1/8 in. She said that she always cuts the length requested by customers and so it was my fault and had to pay again for work on the pants. I have all my pants around 29 inseam so this obviously was not accurate and rather annoying she tried to blame me for the incorrect length since she was the one who previously measured. I needed them done so I went ahead. I didn't want to leave a review about this but the following experience was embarrassing and needed to share. I recommended her shop to a friend who needed to shorten the length of 2 curtains but had a horrible experience. At pickup, Kim casually mentioned that 1 of the curtains were already damaged at drop-off and that she decided to do a free patching for the damage. My friend was not notified of any damage prior to pickup, and furious there wasn't any sort of communication. She couldn't even return the "already damaged" curtains because of Kim's unilateral decision to patch the hole. I felt responsible so I sent my friend $600 to cover the cost of curtains. If there was truly damage already, why wouldn't you inform the customer first to decide options?! This used to be my go to tailor but it's now on my blacklist.
