I went to several places in the area but I found this one to be the best for me Service, price, and excellent tailoring. read more

Extremely condescending, arrogant, and disrespectful. I brought in an old pair of pants with sentimental value, and this man laughed at them, spoke down to me, and told me I could buy another pair for less. When I said I would review his behavior, he nastily replied, "I'll make sure to answer you." It doesn't take a rocket scientist to be a tailor, but it does take basic manners to run a business. In a trade increasingly affected by automation, I certainly wouldn't be picking and choosing which paying customers are worthy of respect. With alteration shops on every corner, I highly recommend going elsewhere. And if he does respond to this review, the only honorable response would be a sincere apology for the way a customer was treated. Kind regards, read more

I had a simple task before me...get two pair of umpire pants hemmed. I visited his shop (a one man operation) and Mr Fred immediately greeted me and asked a few very pointed, specific questions about protective equipment, etc. Long story short, the questions told me he knew exactly what he was doing. He also made sure I had my shirt tucked in ("it makes a difference" said Fred) and that I had the proper shoes with the proper pair of pants. So I stood up on the little podium and he had 'em each marked in about 15 or so seconds flat. He asked me when I needed 'em; I wasn't in a particular hurry so he gave me a six day turn. I tried on each pair once I picked 'em up and they're perfect! Not only is he a very good tailor but a gentleman as well. He is affable and friendly with a neat, well organized shop. It's plain to see he takes pride in his craft and has a great work ethic. So if you need any kind of alterations or tailoring performed on your clothing, this is the fellow to see. You don't find old school workmanship like this in too many places anymore. If you like that, then Fred is your man. I finish by leaving three caveats before you visit. 1. He charges in advance for the work he performs. 2. He only accepts cash and Zelle. 3. His services AIN'T cheap. That said, Fred is probably the best tailor I've ever used. I say that as I own three suits, a tuxedo and coattails plus a number of custom shirts. It never really struck me to rate a tailor on Yelp up to this last go-round. However now that I have, I truly know that Mr Fred is about as good as they get! read more

Fred went the extra mile to ensure our treasured bag was fixed up as good as new. 10+ years ago, on a business trip to Milan, we visited a local unique shop called 10 Corso Como. I bought this unique fabric bag and have used it for many things, latest of which is for bringing stuff to yoga sessions! After years, the seams started to come undone so I popped by to chat with Fred. I told him how important this bag was and why and he agreed to fix it up for a very reasonable price. Fred went the extra mile and reinforced every seam in the bag and told me we were good for another 20 years! Fred also fixed the belt loop on a pair of jeans but they don't have sentimental value to me. Still, he did it perfectly! Life is a good with a local craftsman who does his best work for you! read more

Excellent job . Very professional and quality work. Hemmed slacks and waistband adjustment on knit skirt made for a perfect fit. Looks like it was made for me! read more

My family and I have been seeing Fred, for all our tailoring needs for many years and he has always delivered with the best quality and such timeliness unlike any other. He is worth his weight and gold! Fred has been super helpful and made efforts to even take care of some items in less than 24 hours. Would definitely recommend him to anyone. Thank you Fred we appreciate all that you do! read more

Great service and great job. Needed pants let out for a wedding and Fred had it done in a day ! Highly recommend.

My hemming cost more than the pants but they did a great job and had them completed when promised.

This tailor is a rip off artist in my opinion! He wants to charge $20.00 to sew a 3 inch x 1 inch Veteran patch on hat! That is more than the hat and patch cost combined! Use other tailors in area! Don't waste your time using this firm! Thank you. read more

I was recommended to Fred's by my coworkers. Glad they did because I needed to update the sleeves on my military Service Dress Bravos following a promotion. I needed this done quickly (within 2 days) and Fred turned it around on the same day. Great service! Pricey, but I doubt I'd trust others to experiment on my uniforms when they don't know uniform regulations. read more

Fred's does quality work. While some say he is expensive, for the level of work he does, it is reasonable. Twice he took apart a garment and remade it. I will go no where else. read more

Way too expensive! Brought in an item to be altered and was quoted more than the item cost. If you don't mind that, then go for it!

Fred's is the best around. Quality work and fast turn around. I needed 2 pairs of pants hemmed for a trip. Fred had my pants done within 24 hours. read more

I mean Fred came through in a pinch! Being from out of town, I needed some pants hemmed in a timely manner and Fred delivered! I came in just after he opened at 9am and he had them done before 3pm same day! He was cool, calm and collective and got it done! The cost to get it done was very reasonable. Plenty of strip mall parking available. If I ever need Fred's services again or if anyone in the 727 area needs a tailor, I'll recommend them to go to Fred's!!! read more

Fred was such a nice guy. My daughter was visiting from out of state and needed a dress altered and he got it done in one day! it saved her a lot of trouble to get it done so quickly and now she is going to be able to wear the dress to her birthday party. Thank you, Fred! read more

I have been trying endlessly to find a tailor who could alter a leather jacket and I finally found Fred. I brought in my jacket and told him what I was trying to do. He told me he didn't want to waste my money and sent me away, which I really appreciate, because he refused to take my money to do something I wouldn't be happy with. I returned the jacket I had because it was not alterable in a desirable way. I bought another jacket that still needed to be altered, but this time Fred said he could get the result I wanted with this new jacket. He took the jacket and then called me and asked to come back in so he could advise me on a decision I needed to make, because he said it could be even better than with the original plan. I approved his recommendation. In less than one week I had a jacket that was EXACTLY what I wanted. It looks amazing and I get compliments on it all the time. If you take something to Fred to get altered, I don't see how you can go wrong, given the amount of pride he takes in his work. Thanks Fred! I'll be back with more stuff soon! :) read more

Expensive but good work. I would recommend them to anyone who needs men's dress pants and suit coat taken in.

Fred is THE best! I have taken so many odd jobs to him (e.g., sewing fabric coming undone from elastic, taking in the waistband on complicated skirts/shorts), and I can always trust him to do an amazing job. He just finished a skirt of mine one day after I dropped it off because I mentioned that I needed it for travel in the next week. For the quality of his work, his prices are more than fair, and I cannot recommend his business highly enough! read more

Have a leather jacket that was too big. Found Fred on Yelp with great reviews. And I agree. He altered my leather jacket and made it more beautiful. European trained craftsman. He had it back to me all finished in a few days. Thank you, Fred read more

There aren't enough nice things to say about Fred and his tailoring business. He's amazing and has come through for us so many times. We've had uniforms tailored, pants hemmed, patches sewn on, you name it, and Fred has done a stellar job. His work is better than the original clothing manufacturer in my opinion. His prices are more than fair and his work is as perfect as you can get. More times than not, we've had things fixed right on the spot. He takes the time to measure everything right down to the last inch and thread, and everything turns out perfectly. Fred is one of the nicest people that we've met and we truly appreciate him. We highly recommend Fred's Tailors to anyone. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is a great corner tailor. Fred is extremely friendly and talented. He has repaired a few of my items and has done a great job. I have been pleased and will return again. Can only rate 4 stars, as his services are a bit pricey. He will sometimes state that he only wants cash payment too, which is fine, but a bit inconvenient for those that never carry cash...like me! read more

Cannot recommend Fred highly enough. Quality work at a fair price. He takes the time with his measurements and gets it right and when promised. read more

We trust no one else with our alterations. Fred is the best, and we drive 45 minutes for his services.

This guy is good at what he does and he didn't try to make me over spend for the repair. He was upfront about the best way to repair the clothing and it was less extensive than I thought it was going to be. He also charges a fair price. Another lady wanted to charge me almost double for the same repair. read more

Fred will be the only tailor I use again. I have an athletic build and it's hard to find clothes broad enough in the shoulders that aren't boxy in the waist. Fred tailored a dress shirt and pants to perfectly fit at a reasonable price and under a week. He was friendly and accommodating to my family on my visit. read more

Fred is so friendly and what a tailor!! Always on point, easy to talk to and he does an amazing job on your clothes - very professional, he'll be honest about what can be done. You must pay for the tailoring up front, which some may not be used to, and don't follow your GPS directions, they take you to wrong side of the mall! lol I won't take my clothes anywhere else!!! 5 stars all around read more

Fred is an excellent, European-trained tailor, I have been going to him for several years. He is very meticulous and knows how to handle any job, no matter the size or the degree of difficulty. I would recommend him to anyone who wants their dress clothing handled by a professional. read more

This man is fantastic! Honest and straightforward about what can be done. His work rivals that of tailors I've used in Manhattan. No one better in this area! read more

The BEST! Be it uniforms or suits or whatever. Honest, told me it was not worth the cost to alter. Both my wife and I will not go anywhere else. Cannot recommend him enough. read more

I purchased a Ralph Lauren leather jacket for my wife last March. It was a bit long in the sleeves for her but I thought it would be ok. She put it on last week and we both knew it wouldn't work. We stopped by Fred's Tailors and Fred told us it would cost more than I paid originally for the jacket. We left pretty upset because we both loved it. My wife took the jacket in again to ask if Fred could do a quick shortening of the sleeves. He showed my wife something she could do to help with the fit. She came home and told me but I knew that he could do a much more professional job than we could ever do. I decided to bring it in fir the third time to do a little begging. Finally Fred agreed to help even though it was against his better judgement. He said he knew the jacket was important to us. I picked it up yesterday and my wife an I were very pleased with what Fred did. He is a fine craftsman and does excellent work. I wouldn't hesitate to go to him again for any leather work or alterations. Call him at 727-723-7766. You won't be sorry. He is a "European Trained Master Tailor"! read more

Fred is the type of pro that you don't need to second guess when he does his craft. As I tell people "you don't tell Fred what you want; he tells you what you need." For guys getting dress slacks hemmed, make sure you bring the shoes that go with the pants so you get the correct break over the shoe. He's serious about his work and won't hem until they're measured right, which is the way it should be! read more

Fred is an amazing tailor, he's a total perfectionist and it shows in his work. I've been coming to him for years and I've had everything from high-end suits, to jeans, to leather jackets tailored by Fred and they always turn out flawlessly! He's an incredibly nice guy as well. I'm extremely picky when it comes to my clothes and I can't recommend Fred highly enough! read more
