1-Star Review This was my first time buying from Gallery Dept. After seeing a friend's orange hat, I ordered both the orange and yellow versions. The yellow fit perfectly, but the orange arrived defective and sat awkwardly on top of my head. I exchanged it, but the replacement had the exact same issue. When I tried to return it for a refund, I was told I could only receive store credit. Now I'm stuck with credit I can't use, since there's nothing on the website I want. Very disappointing--especially for a defective product--and I wish their refund policy had been clearly stated upfront. read more

I spent a lot of time working on a TV shoot in South Korea this year, and almost every day on set, I'd see one or two guys wearing Gallery Dept. T-shirts. I'd never heard of the brand and might have thought it was Korean except that many of the shirts also said Hollywood, CA, and one even listed an address on Beverly like three miles from my house. Our assistant director was a guy named Sangtae who smoked constantly and kept the production running with a red Supreme megaphone. He worked hard and was endearingly shy, even as he showed up every day in what must have been thousands of dollars of brightly colored luxury gear. He had a Celine fanny pack, Balenciaga shoes, and a rotation of dramatically oversized T-shirts from various high-end brands. At least a couple of them were from Gallery Dept. The showrunner and I wanted to get Sangtae a present at the end of production, and I decided to make a visit to Gallery Dept. It was on Beverly after all, a little bit east of the Beverly Center. The storefront was somewhat hidden, with a display window showing a temporary art installation rather than any of the clothes. There was meter parking right in front. I was surprised to find that the door was locked, but I rang the bell and a doorman came and asked if I had an appointment. I did not, but after some conferring, during which I waited outside, he let me into the store. Pretty severe security, but I guess the goods are expensive. The place was spacious and easy to browse. It had a cool street art vibe, which I guess is the brand. You would never really guess that the T-shirts start at like $250. I was helped by a nice, industrious sales associate named Paisley. I explained what I was looking for (a ludicrously large T-shirt or hoodie for a lean, tall Korean man) and she brought me armloads of XXL items for my review. There were a lot of basic T-shirts and hoodies with the Gallery Dept. logo, as well as several more embellished options. I ended up going home to think about it, with a plan to look at the site and decide, then call in the order to ship to Korea. Paisley gave me her phone number. I found a stupidly expensive T-shirt, in proportion to our appreciation of Sangtae, and texted Paisley to ask how much it would cost to ship to Korea. She told me, apologetically, that it would be almost $200, at which point I decided to pick it up in person and figure out shipping on my own. Paisley wasn't there when I went back, but I was expected this time and got in without trouble, though I did wait for several minutes outside. Check-out was fast and easy, and the purchase came with a Gallery Dept. tote that said Stop Being Racist, which is probably worth a few bucks (the tote, not the advice, which is valuable but free). I asked my mom if she knew a better (cheaper) way to get a package to the motherland, and she told me she'd take care of it. After I gave her the full name, address, and birthday of the recipient, all in Korean, she packaged it up and sent it over for $9. Halmoni Postal Service, mysterious but effective. We got an email from Sangtae yesterday saying how pleased he was to get the T-shirt. He said it was wonderful and noted that he knew it wasn't easy to get into this store. I don't know that I'll be shopping here on the regular, but I'm grateful to Gallery Dept. for helping us make Sangtae happy. read more

A Los Angeles staple - definitely worth the visit, whether you're visiting or a local. LA local Owned & Black-Owned, by good People. Pretty sure you need an appointment (but that's easy). The selection in store is a lot, so my recommendation is to have a target in mind - otherwise you might get tempted by something else. They usually have everything available online, in a range of sizes in store. Trying on sizes to get the right fit has never been a problem for me here. The prices are luxury, but the quality & customer service is worth is. Not to mention if you purchase here, you get access to alterations & repairs to your pants in the future. read more

Despite a previously bad experience (for which my review seems to have been removed) with an off colour 'white' cap & an incorrectly sized pair of jeans, both of which were expensive, I tried again. I ordered the black LA flares and instead received a dark green/bluey pair of jeans, with no sign of any black whatsoever. I'm struggling to understand how it's legal to sell items (especially expensive items) & provide wildly different products in comparison to what's advertised/ordered, and get away with It. I've also reattached images of the 'whiten cap & the 32" leg jeans which I ordered, and which gallery dept (after waiting weeks for a response) saw no issue with. read more

Nice staff, entry is based on appointments and the staff is very helpful once you're inside. Service is amazing, they offer water and make you comfortable while you purchase items. read more

It seems like good customer service is hard to find these days. I visited this location because my usual Client Advisor wasn't available and was assisted by Shadi. Unfortunately, the experience was far from pleasant--she came across as extremely fake and bitchy pardon my french. The manager, who had black hair, and short bangs was equally unprofessional. She kept staring my friend and me up and down, making us feel uncomfortable. The two of them even stood on the stairs whispering and glancing in our direction. It felt like a clique of "mean girls" was running the place, rather than a professional team. I asked for a few sizes because I wanted to shop, but Shadi made it seem like helping me was a huge inconvenience. The whole experience was uncomfortable and far from what you'd expect when spending hundreds or to be honest thousands of dollars at a store. I didn't even want to make a purchase, but I needed something for an occasion. At the very least, I expected better customer service and kindness. If the manager or team reads this, I hope you take this feedback to heart. Do better read more

These guys are the real deal.. The level of service from Trent and Matt and the guys at gallery are insane. I go for their bread and butter which is their flare denim and they always get me right by cutting and altering it to be fit just for me. 1:1 pairs and custom jeans are their specialty. I will say that you have to go into the shop as the experience is what creates this brand. Appointment only! read more

Don't purchase online you will never get your item. When you provide a customer a confirmation of purchase and tracking label and email stating item is own its way. Then you never ship the item, and the customer has to contact you 8 days later to find out what's going on. Your response is the item is sold out, after you provide confirmation of purchase and tracking # and email item is on it's way. You can be a nice brand but professionalism is always KING read more

I purchased an item for almost $700 on 12/5/23. It was a Christmas gift. However as of 12/18/23 I still had not received my item. I tried contacting the company several times (about 10) via email and phone and nothing, nada, noone, nobody returned or replied to my emails or calls. Then on 12/28/23 today, I find out that my item was shipped! Well guess what, I didn't need or want it anymore but they don't give refunds, only store credit,.,really!! Well trust me I will be sending the item back and getting my money back! Never have I experienced such poor customer service! I work in client services and pride myself on quick responses in order to keep my customers. I guess this company does care about keeping their customers because they just lost this one!! read more

I would've given this branding a five star , because the quality of the product is impeccable , but the reason why I gave it a four star is ,because of the shipping. if you're going to buy online from this brand, please get anything but ground shipping, because it's relatively slow , and would take forever to get your package unless you're on the West Coast . The branding is too expensive after you've spent over 1300+ dollars to get overseas mediocre ground shipping delivery times. I recommend getting the parcel shipping. read more

Great service from the moment you are greeted in. Friendly staff. Very knowledgeable. Was assisted by Paisley who was there for my appt as requested. In and out in less than 10 minutes with what I came for. I highly recommend coming in person to try on the items as they vary in fit. Great experience overall. read more

This company flat out allowed fraud to happen when someone got my banking information. I had a detective as well as my bank dealing with it and whenever we contacted gallery dept the people were EXTREMELY unhelpful, rude, and just did not care at all..if you value your banking information, privacy, and just want to do business with legitimate companies than I suggest NOT spending a dime with gallery dept. Trash company run by even trashier egotistical people. I contacted them MULTIPLE times and never heard a reply either, so if you want customer service then gallery dept is NOT where to go.. read more

Yo I love this place. I've taken several pairs of jeans here and I wouldn't take them anywhere else for hems and repairs. When I blow out my jeans, I can rest easy knowing they'll bring them back to life. I definitely appreciate their work and craftsmanship. Darning. Chain stitching. Attention to details. This is it. Jesse and Zach are really cool guys who know what they're doing. If you've got expensive, precious denim that needs some TLC they'll take care of you. Trust! read more

Gallery Dept - My APCs repaired after blowing out the crotch. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I will never buy from this company again!!! So, please beware if you are ordering from their online store. Once you purchase an item, you will not receive your original form of payment, you only will receive an exchange. There is no available phone number for customer service only email, and it takes a very long time for them to respond to you. I do not understand the purpose of charging these extremely high prices only to have piss poor customer service. My boyfriend loves their clothing, hence the only reason I having been purchasing from this company. But, after the customer service I am receiving, I will never buy from this company again!!! They need to take care of their customers and do what is right instead of focusing on solely making money. read more

Most people complain about prices, the usage of 501 Levi's, ect. But honestly it's Black owned and usually we don't have strong brands and even when we do it's a lot of backlash hate or whatever. But enough of that this is literally the reason Fashoo lives on the style the work put into every piece of fabric there's no garment that you will receive that is a matching to another they're all custom and different you will never find anything like this again gallery department is legit the new and best style lots of other brands when u compar the work compared to gallery it's not even close these ppl really put in work on these items and they are definitely a nice work of art your ligand art piece and when has art ever been cheap read more

Can't say enough about Gallery Dept. and the wonderful team behind it. Jesse is a master of his craft and Josh is one of the most down to earth people I have ever had pleasure to speak with. Customer service is a lost art in 2020 but Gallery Dept. is proof that there are still company's / brands today that care about its customers and provide service that is bar none. Recently reached out to see if Jesse would be able to make a pair of Carrhartt Flares for me due to them being sold and the entire process was seamless and easy. Jesse and the Gallery Dept. team was were super accommodating with any questions I had and made the entire process a smooth one. Josh even took the time to send a personal thank you note after the purchase Needless to say I will be back for more and couldn't be happier with my purchase. Do yourself a favor and check them out! read more

Me and my Son finally found the store. Once we got there a man in a black suit stated he needed to go find someone to escort us in the store. Never in my life have i needed an escort to shop. Might add. I am 69 and my son 26. He took so long we left. My son spent his $2000.00 elsewhere. Felt like we were profiled due to being Afro Americans. read more

I have been here many times. Bought two pairs of jeans that were almost $400 each. However, I took a pair of jeans for repair and when calling to follow up for the status they would say Jesse will call you back. I Never heard. So called again, Then was told to email Jesse; never heard back.... I support small business and I get that thing happen, but to just ignore calls and emails to explain that it lost is not acceptable. Beware of this business. read more

In short: This is the only place I will ever tailor my designer jeans! Perfect fit, original quality, and quick turnaround time!! My $200 jeans fit like $500 ones, and Jesse is an artist! The long: I have always been skeptical about tailoring distressed and/or selvedge jeans, because in my experience, you can always tell when these jeans have been altered: the hem quality doesn't match, the distressing is gone and/or not as good, the leg hole is too wide, or the selvedge strip looks wonky. I decided to give Gallery Dept. a chance (because they came highly recommended by American Rag, cie), and they assuaged all my fears: they measured me, hemmed and tapered my pants, and added the SAME distressing pattern to the leg opening, so now my jeans fit PERFECTLY and you can't even tell they've been worked on. From then on, I always make an extra stop whenever I buy my jeans--first, the retailer, then straight to Gallery Dept. Also, Jesse is an ARTIST who makes great custom designs. I brought him a concept for a custom denim jacket that I wanted to make out of a t-shirt. He took my original design and improved it, altering the framing of the tee and proposing extra details underneath the collar that made the final product even more awesome than I'd imagined. There's a reason he's trusted by fashion designers to assemble their lines. In summary, Gallery Dept. is the best place to bring your jeans if you care about fit and quality. If you're like me, and never never had custom-fit jeans, do yourself a favor and experience the difference, you won't be sorry. And, if you ever wanted to create a custom/one-off piece, they can do that too. read more

This review is going to be fairly quick. I've been bringing my denim to Jesse since he was with Denim Doctors. I still bring all my denim pants (I've amassed a bit of a collection) as well as a jacket to him to work on because he's the only person I'll trust with them. If anyone needs any hemming or other denim alterations done, he's the first person I'd recommend. read more

Would be great if I could actually review their items, instead, I placed an order 3 weeks ago and have reached out on both Instagram and email and have received exactly zero responses after reaching out multiple times. This level of indifference to customers is mind blowing and off putting to say the least. You can have a great brand but still have to have some semblance of a customer relationship. read more

Baddest customer service there is. I will definitely never order here again. DHL states they delivered my package to a pickup point even though i never gave permission for this. Sent like 6 emails to Gallery dept without a response. They refuse to give me back my money. Trash company. read more

excellent place for all your high end denim hemming, alterations, and repairs. i brought in a pair of Pure Blue XX-18 raw denim that i had purchased from Japan to have hemmed. estimated turnaround time was a few hours. there was a bit of a delay due to some machine issues, but they were able to have the jeans hemmed on the same day. i picked them up the next day and enjoyed the high quality tailoring job they did. the hem was cut to my exact measurements that i had requested. they do have a little area in the back of the shop that can be used to try your jeans on as well. the hemming was $25 and definitely worth it. service was professional and friendly. highly recommend for all your denim service needs. read more

These guys did an incredible job repairing a crotch blowout on my vintage Levi's 501XX! I have had countless awful experiences with other denim repair places/tailors in Los Angeles, though I have only received one gallery department repair thus far, I am certain they will always go above and beyond with my gear. I already plan on bringing another pair in now that I am confident(and highly impressed) with their work. Thanks a ton! Sending friends your way ASAP. GG read more

Gallery Dept - Solid patchwork action to save my old Levi's 501xx. I wish I had a before photo so you could see how this job looked impossible. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Not sure how this place popped up. But I've been following Jesse wherever he goes in LA for my denim fix. I could say a lot about this guy, but basically he's amazing. Now here at Gallery Dept., he has a great team. Everyone I met there was just down to earth and are knowledgeable. Search no more this place is it. read more

I was recently a victim of credit card fraud and the person bought merchandise at Gallery Dept. I received a tracking number for the shipment going to the criminal who stole my cards and reached out to the store, they recalled the shipment and will refund my money.

Love this place - super talented Jesse and Josh are amazing. Super humble hard working artist at their craft. Special place- go check it out !!! read more

I haven't worn denim in two years because I'm 6'-4" and finding clothes to fit me is often times difficult. lol I finally found a pair of jeans at Club Manoco that were long enough but a little big in the legs. I was a little nervous at first to be handing someone these brand new pants but was willing to take the risk to have well-fitted jeans. I was astonished by how amazing they look now. You can't even tell they were modified. The stitching is perfect, the thread is exactly the same! I can finally wear jeans again! Thank you so much! I would highly recommend this place to anyone with denim needs. read more

Jesse is great. Tailored a couple pairs of my jeans to perfection. Cool store and vibe. Taking a new pair of Rag & Bones in this week. Highly recommend. They have a bunch of cool clothing as well. read more

These guys are amazing and are so easy to work with. They repaired a big butt rip on my vintage Levi's and you can not even tell that there was ever a massive hole there. They also have a wall of vintage Levi's for you to choose from that can be custom fitted to you're body. The jeans they made for me are insane and Jesse and Josue could not be more accommodating. I can't recommend them enough!!!! read more

I have had 4 pairs of jeans tapered here now and they all turned out excellent. Really nice guys who are easy to work with. They take the time to figure out what you want and give helpful advice. read more

Came in after having a wardrobe malfunction. The guys took a look explained why the stitching fell apart on my jeans, fixed it within 5 minutes, and I was out of there with perfectly repaired jeans. Amazing service!! read more

Had a pair of my old levis repaired there.. Super nice and good at what they do. Highly recommend for anyone in need of denim repair or alterations. read more

Not that I'm not partial but these guys ROCK! They understand OWG need help with fitting.

Jesse is the best in the biz. I've been bringing my denim to him for chainstitch hems and tapering since he was with Denim Doctors. Well worth the money and the drive (I live in OC). read more

Gallery Dept. Denim Services are true artisans and absolutely deliver on their denim alterations. I had the legs resized on a fairly expensive pair of jeans that I had written off as too big. The jeans fit perfectly and they absolutely blew me away with their level of detail and finesse. Worth every penny. I will definitely be revisiting the next time I have a pair of jeans that need tailoring. Seriously though, the work is extremely clean and leaves no residual scarring on the pants. read more

Fabulous, perfect, fast and smart. A way all biz should be but few are. Love and use. Highly recommend.

Great service from Jesse and the lads. Timely and professional service at it's best. Loving the Jeans you made for me Jesse!
