Dropped a pair of pants off to be hemmed. Price was fair and was completed very quickly! Would definitely return

I needed a suit for my brother's upcoming wedding, and Mark (the man behind Maestro Tailoring) was…read morerecommended to me. I reached out to him, though not without trepidation: I'm trans, and because of my smaller height and build, my measurements are outside the standard range of menswear. As a result, a good tailor is necessary, but finding one can be a tricky and vulnerable process. It is a frightening time to be LGBT, and especially to be trans, in this country. Which makes me all the more grateful to Mark, who was not only warm and accepting, but who provided me with some of the best service I've ever received anywhere. The experience you receive upon entering his shop captures an old-school brand of customer care that's largely been lost -- personalized attention, private fittings, direct communication between artisan and client -- with a thoroughly modern and welcoming attitude. On top of that, his work is absolutely impeccable. I've never looked better than I do in the suit I purchased here, and I wish I'd found him before my own wedding a few years ago. Whoever you are, you cannot go wrong at Maestro. But especially if you are LGBT and looking to buy tailored menswear in Cleveland from someone who will treat you with the respect you deserve: stop looking. Mark's your guy, and you're going to love the work he does for you.

He explained the quality aspects of my Zegna suit and picked out a suit that best fit my physique and stature. The price was excellent and was tailored perfectly. The fit, comfort, and drape of the suit made me look good and stylish. It is obvious that Mark loves what he does and admires his product on his customers. I plan to get a black Zegna suit in a month or two from Mark- Maestro Tailor.

TL;DR: super nice lady, excellent at what she does, affordable services!!!…read more O.M.G. I have only been to Alinas once, and she is EVERYTHING I could have wanted and more. If you need a tailoring service, GO TO HER! Dresses, pants, clothes, curtains, everything. I was referred to her by my friend who had used her years ago. Alina is the sweetest lady I have ever met. Hardworking, humble, and amazing at what she does. After my first visit with her, she told me about her story and how she got where she was. She explained she is not a fan of technology, so don't expect her to do anything on a computer. She's still in the same spot on Larchmere, which is a little difficult to find. She is located kind of behind the barbershop, in the same strip as academy tavern. Anyway, I reached out to her last minute to get a bridesmaids dress that was unflattering and much too tight, fixed. I was stressing about cost because it was an expensive dress and I was trying hard to avoid alterations, however I was left with no choice. I called Alina, and she was more than happy to have me drop off my dress that day. Her hours are very accessible. I dropped off my dress, and I ran into my own client while I was there. She said she's been going to Alina for years, and have altered and hemmed alllll of the things for her - basically everything I listed above. This is practically the best thing to hear when walking into a new business. So anyway. I explained to Alina that the dress was too tight around the waist, the zipper wouldn't zipper, and the ribbon around the waist appeared too short. I was scared there was no hope. However, Alina assured me that there was a way to get around it. She assessed how much it would be, and to my surprise, it was very very affordable!!! Way lower than I thought it would be. When I went to pick up my dress, it fit perfectly. She took it out an inch and was able to loosen the ribbon. It looked untouched! She probably won't even know this review exists, but I wanted to share her with the world! She's the best!

Alina was great. Turned around an alteration for me in 3 days when I needed it around the holidays…read more Very friendly and accommodating. Would recommend!

I had a very strange experience at this business, and based on that experience, I will never go…read morehere again, and I would not recommend any family, friends, or strangers to go here. I searched far-and-wide for a tailor that interested me. I settled on Scafidi Tailoring because the brand appealed to me - it seemed like a classic, traditional place and I imagined the tailor would be extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I got my first proper, quality suit recently and don't really know anything about how clothes like that "should" fit, so I was really seeking guidance and advice from a master. That's what I was hoping to get. So, I called to confirm their hours and see if they could do what I wanted. What I wanted was simple: The new suit just got delivered the previous day, so I just wanted the suit to be adjusted and tailored to my body shape. On the phone, they said "Sure, come on by." So I took time off work, got cleaned up and dressed in my best clothing, and drove 30 minutes to the shop. Upon arrival, the gentleman looked at the suit I brought, aggressively pulled the pants out from the hangar, and said "Start with this." So I changed into the pants, went out, and he said "Fine, it looks fine." I said "It's a bit tight here by the thighs." He said "There's nothing I can do about that." I said "Ok, any advice? Is it a risk or could a hole appear?" He said "Sure, it's a risk." The conversation about the pants ended there. No advice, no measurements, no anything. Then I put the suit jacket on. "Fine, it looks fine" he said. I said "Is there anything that should be adjusted?" He said "You can do whatever you want. People want different things." I said "I don't really know what I want, other than for the suit to fit the ideal/proper way." He said "It's fine." The conversation about the jacket ended there. No advice, no measurements, no anything. By this point, I was still in a state of shock that the conversation went like this, so I said "Could I look at the ties?" Suddenly, he became very interested and looked excited to possibly sell a tie. I said "How much do these run?" They were $200. To be polite, I said I'd take a picture of the tie wall to spend some more time making a decision later, but what REALLY happened is that the shock ended in that moment and there was NO way I was going to spend $200 on a single tie at this place. No way. So, I left. Very upset. When I got in my car, I looked up tailors nearby, and ended up going to one that I'd been to before, 25 minutes away (Peter's Tailor Shop in University Heights). The woman was extremely nice and knowledgeable. She took the pants and the shirt for some adjustments, and suggested some adjustments for the jacket. What a night-and-day difference. I understand that Mr. Scafidi primarily does custom suit and shirt-making. Perhaps I'm not the ideal customer. Fine. But why even invite me then? Do better.

Screw this place. They may be great(don't know....) Called…read moresaying I needed some work done on some jackets and pants, woman on the phone said it wouldn't be a problem. When I get the Joseph denies me.. Says they are too busy. I'm young have a shaved head, tattoos, but I make very good money, and these were not even remotely cheap clothes... Screw this place..
