Hanshaw is the best, Pius got my tuxedo looking perfect in about two weeks, and they seemed very busy with how many suits, tuxedos, and dresses are hanging in store ready for pickup. The wait time was reasonable to me. Also reasonable prices and friendly service. I would highly recommend, I am satisfied with my experience read more

Great service , quick and timely - easy to work with. cash only but gave me a heads up.

Pius has such a kind and humorous soul. I went in to get my bridesmaid dress hemmed, and he did a wonderful job. The price was reasonable given the double-layered dress, and his turnaround time was relatively quick (and on time). If you are reading this: I did have a drink in your honor! :) read more

Amazing quality, custom tailoring - had a complicated 5 hem wedding guest dress and he took great care to take off length while keeping it looking nice. Would definitely recommend to others in the area read more

Pius was super kind and helpful. He adjusted the straps on my wedding guest dress and it looks amazing & fits like a glove!

Wedding dress alterations were speedy and well-done at a very fair price. Can't ask for much more.

I paid $200 for this dress to be hemmed completely uneven!!! Also was not ready by the discussed date on my ticket. Now I have to go get it fixed somewhere else with very little time. So upset. UPDATE: I brought this dress to be fixed by another tailor and he was absolutely beside himself over what was done to this dress!! And he could not believe that for $200 the pleats were not pressed. read more

See all

Pius is a very talented quirky guy and I loved meeting him. I was even happier when I picked up my $360 jeans he hemmed for me. This is my new go to tailor. read more

Had a great experience getting some pants tailored! They had to be tailored in a number of places and they came out perfectly and he had them done in just a few days. Would recommend! read more

I brought a bridesmaid dress in for alterations and it turned out amazing! He did an amazing job, I will definitely be back!

Definitely recommend using their tailoring services for suites. Friendly and quick service. Will be returning!

The owner is phenomenal! You can't find tailors like this anymore. I had a tuxedo tailored and he did a great job of it - high quality and good value. read more

I needed a suit tailored at the last minute for a weekend event. I called Pius on a Thursday (the event was on Saturday), and he completed extensive alterations by Friday afternoon. The quality of work and advice provided by Pius was excellent. He's also a very kind and genuine person. I will continue visiting Pius for all my tailoring needs in the future. Thank you! read more

He was able to make score a bit larger and less restrictive and it was done early. He has a nice sense of humor.

Very attentive, thorough, and quick service. My fiancé got his wedding tuxe tailored and so glad we entrusted this business. Will come again

Great tailor. Had some difficult work and Pius took care of it in just a few days. Convenient location in lakeview.

My first time at Hanshaw. Pius did great work, I'm glad I found him. Highly recommended

I just got my blazer from Hanshaw for alterations. Exceptional work and quick turnaround time.

The service is great! Tailored my suit fast and well. Price is reasonable. Highly recommend Hanshaw!

got my wool coat tailored and it was perfect! i will be wearing this coat for the rest of my life - thank you so much.

I've been going to Hanshaw Custom Tailoring for years, and Pius continues to impress me with his skill and consistency. Most recently, he tailored two of my suit pants and a few dress shirts, and the fit was perfect--as always. His attention to detail and quality of work are unmatched. It's rare to find someone this reliable with a quick turn around time! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for expert tailoring in Chicago. read more

Very quick turn around and excellent work. Finished it in only 3 days. Couldn't even tell where it was altered.

Pius was so sweet and did an excellent job taking in/altering a dress for me!!! He was very kind and was able to get it done for me in just a few days! Would recommend & come back! read more

If you are looking for a quick and inexpensive place, this is a great option. My coat was on the nicer side and needed a little more craftsmanship when altering and repairing. Pius did the job well but used the wrong color thread. In addition, when closing the lining, it was a very messy job. Details that you can only see when you look close but I paid good money for this and would have liked to bring it to someone who pays closer attention to detail. On the other hand, the short and pants I had him hem, perfect. I just wouldn't bring your nicer items. read more

Pius did a fantastic job making alterations to a suit, including taking in certain parts and bringing out others. His turnaround time was fast (several days) and the price was fair. Highly recommend! read more

Very sweet owner, and does great work. Unfortunately, he completely messed up the sleeve of my suit jacket and when I asked about it, he flat out lied, insisting it was originally like that (and that he didn't touch the sleeves). I ended up bringing it back to the suit store. They took one look at the sleeve and knew it had been tempered with. The seams no longer lined up and it was sewed shut in a way that didn't match any of the other suits in the store. My jacket sleeve had to be deconstructed and put back together. He did a great job on everything else, but I'm very disappointed that he didn't fess up to his mistake. read more

I have no idea about how good the prices are, this is my first foray into tailoring, but Pius was very nice and did a great job on repairing some ripped pants and tailoring a suit. read more

I had a great experience at Hanshaw Tailoring. Pius was very helpful and friendly and did an amazing job taking in my suit jacket and hemming my suit pants for a very reasonable price. read more

Had to get my suit pants hemmed for my wedding. Pius got me in Friday evening, took measurements and had me back to pick them up Saturday afternoon! Not to mention the pants fit great but he was incredibly kind and easy to work with. Would absolutely recommend! read more

Pius did a FANTASTIC job with my pants and jacket. I asked him to crop a jacket and hem some pants and they came out like a glove! I'll be coming back and recommending this place to all my friends! read more

Best tailor in town. Friendly service, decent prices, and perfect results. I had a suit jacket that was too long in the sleeves, back, and sides but he turned it into a slim fit jacket. He now has my business read more

Amazing job and a work of magic. They were adamant that my tuxedo had to be perfect for my wedding and was able to get the work done in less than a week. I will be coming to this shop for all my tailoring needs from now on. read more

I am usually not one to leave bad reviews but after eagerly trusting the great reviews, I felt a need to warn others. I brought my dress to be taken in slightly a week ago. The owner told the cost would be $85 which felt high for the amount of work that would be required but I was willing to accept it for the level of exceptional service these reviews convinced me I would receive. The owner told me my dress would be ready the following Saturday but when I arrived on Saturday, the dress hadn't been touched. He told me to come back on Monday. When I came back to pick up my dress I had asked for a $10 discount considering the dress was 2 days late and I had to pay for additional Ubers on my wasted Saturday trip. The owner told me that he never promised Saturday and that he told me it would be ready by Monday. I pointed out the date written on the receipt and he argued that was only for his personal records. Not sure why the Saturday date was important for his personal records and meant something other than the promised pick up date? I am most disappointed in his inability to acknowledge the error on his end. I do not intend on coming here again and encourage you to consider these sub 5 star reviews when making your decision as well. read more

Always does an awesome job and is willing to work with you to get it done on your timeline. Will keep coming back!

Pius is so good at what he does! Hands down best men's suit tailoring place I've come across. My husband needed alterations to his suit ASAP and Pius made it happen in a few days. Great prices as well and easy to work with. I wouldn't trust taking my husbands suits anywhere else but here. One last thing my husband looked phenomenal in his suit! read more

Needed a hem for my engagement party dress. It came out beautifully! As if it had always been the perfect length! The owner was very kind and got the job done very quickly. 10/10 Would recommend. read more

Pious is a great tailor and instantly friendly. I had to get a suit tailored for an event the next evening. He quickly took my measurements and told me the price and that it would be ready on time. I was surprised at how inexpensive this rush job was, and I was happy with the way I was treated, so I provided a tip for his work. The next day I picked up my suit. Everything looked great! I had read previous reviews had wrong thread color or bad work, but that wasn't the case with my suit. Everything was clean and the threads matched well. Pious will have a repeat customer out of me. read more

Hanshaw is the best in the biz. Super nice guy. Even better tailor. I got a wool suit tailored that required many different alterations and it came back looking great. I got lots of compliments at the wedding. read more

Pius is GREAT. He is very welcoming and kind as soon as you walked in and he takes time to make sure the measurements are to your liking before you leave. My first visit I had a suit tailored and he did it to perfection. I literally can't wait for events that call for me to wear my suit just so I can show it off :) My second visit I had a coat and 2 pairs of pants I needed altered. Once again, he did a superb job. I am not going to hesitate to pay Pius another visit when the time comes for me to alter more clothes! Highly recommend! read more

I ordered a custom suit for my wedding (from an online store), and it needed some more tailoring to get the perfect fit. I wanted to find someone who was a master of their craft, and Pius was exactly that! He truly cared about making sure I was the best dressed at my wedding. He is professional, helpful, reasonably priced, can work on your timeline, and most importantly does high quality work. Thanks for ensuring I looked great for my wedding, Pius! read more
