I brought in four pairs of jeans to have the inseams shortened and paid extra for original-hemming…read moreservice. This was intended to be a test run before bringing additional tailoring work to this shop. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the quality of the work. While the original hem appears to have been reused, the execution was sloppy and did not meet my expectations for a paid original-hemming service. Issues I observed: * Multiple loose threads left untrimmed throughout the hems * Thread bunching and messy stitching at several locations * Rough finishing and excessive bulk where the side seams meet the hem * Visible inconsistencies in the stitching and reattachment seam * The hems do not hang naturally and tend to flare or stick out at the bottom, giving the jeans an uneven appearance when worn * Overall workmanship appears rushed and lacks attention to detail For an additional charge, I expected a cleaner, more professional result. Instead, the finished product looks noticeably altered and falls well short of the quality I expected. After my experience, I read through other reviews and noticed that several customers appeared to report similar issues specifically with jeans and denim alterations. Had I seen those comments beforehand, I likely would have chosen a different tailor for this work. It was disappointing to find that my experience did not seem to be an isolated case. I considered returning to discuss the issue, but ultimately decided it was not worth the time and effort. My time is more valuable than pursuing a correction for a relatively small dollar amount. This review and taking my future business elsewhere is sufficient. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this tailor for denim alterations, particularly if you are paying extra for original-hemming service. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a tailor.

Messed up my $400 Japanese selvedge denim. I wish they would have not touched my clothes…read more I called earlier in the day asking if they could do a chain stitch hem. The man who answered assured me they could. When I arrived, I asked the front desk attendant to confirm if the chain stitch hem could be replicated and 1.5in be shortened from the inseam. She confirmed with the tailor that it was possible. When I came back I was very shocked to see the 'original hem' job they performed. They folded my 21oz denim onto itself and sewed three layers together to shorten the inseam. I have no idea why they would think this would be appropriate for the thickness of the denim. It looked ridiculous. After I expressed my dissatisfaction, they cut the stitches to undo the hem and refunded my money. Unfortunately, they left all the threads for me to remove by hand. The stitchwork they did also ripped up the denim in a very ugly way- I now have 3 lines across the bottom of my jeans: at the hem, 2in, and 4in height. These jeans were a special Christmas present from my wife but now I'm just sad when I look down at them... I sincerely wish you would have called to confirm with me what you were going to do once you realized you could not do the hem as requested.

They will have you try on the suit and start to pin and measure where they see fit and they will also make some recommendations (i.e. tapered pant legs) that you are free to decline. All of the alterations are itemized as well, so it is a very professionally run shop. I received my suit in a few short business days and I was very impressed by the quality of work. While they're definitely not the cheapest, you get what you pay for here.

It can be hard to get out of your spot if there's quite a bit of traffic. I've also been here when there are no spots available. Service: Everyone is always polite and attentive. They're usually pretty busy but someone does always at least tell you they'll be with you in a minute . Turn around time: You can get things turned around quicker if needed and they do work with you. That being said if you don't need it urgently you may end up waiting a week or two. Cost: Their prices are so competitive!! I definitely always feel like I get a good deal here Other things: The space is fun to just look around in.

I first went to this tailor on Thursday, and he told me my alteration would be ready for pickup on…read moreTuesday. When I arrived on Tuesday, he said it wasn't ready and asked me to wait another hour, so I did. The second issue was the price. When I dropped off the item on Thursday, we agreed on $30. He didn't write the price on the invoice, so I wrote "$30" on it myself to avoid any confusion. When I came to pick it up, he told me the price was $40. I showed him the invoice and reminded him that we had agreed on $30, but he still argued that I should pay $40. Reluctantly, he agreed to $30. Finally, when it was time to pay, he entered $33 into the credit card machine instead of $30. It may have been a credit card surcharge, but he never mentioned or explained it beforehand. He simply charged an extra $3 without telling me why. Between the missed pickup time, the disagreement over the agreed price, and the unexplained extra charge, I won't be returning.

The person said the return time would only be an hour, so I quickly went over to the mall location. I just needed the pants hemmed, but when they asked if I wanted them brought in at the waist, I said I'd do that only if they could still be ready that day, She told me that actually neither would be finished that day, even though she had said the hem would take under an hour only 30mins prior on the phone call. Whatever. The tailor who measured me was pretty rude. I was charged an exorbitant $68. Despite him marking while they were on my body, the hem is 1-1.25 inches too short, which just fucks them up entirely, and they didn't create a seam at the hem. I just really did not expect a blind hem for $68. The stitching is ALL OVER THE PLACE and the sewing created puckering everywhere. I did a better job sewing when I was 12. When I finally wore them, I realized how bad they look. So disappointed.

I cannot recommend this tailor enough!…read more We brought in my son's very inexpensive 3-piece Amazon suit that was WAY too big, and somehow, in just a short turnaround, he transformed it into something that looked like it came from a high-end boutique. My son wore it to his school's end of year dance and was absolutely beaming and he felt confident, stylish, and so proud of how he looked. The craftsmanship was flawless -- he didn't just tailor the suit to fit perfectly now, he even left extra fabric hidden inside the seams so we can let it out as my son grows. That means we'll get maybe another year out of it, which is such a thoughtful touch most people wouldn't even think of. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly skilled but also truly cares about their clients, this is the tailor you need to see. We will 100% be back!

A long-time Houston family planted in Houston and have been in business for prob over forty years or so!

I called them on Easter weekend and they were about to close shop early for the holiday weekend but I caught them right before closing and they agreed to stay open just long enough for me to get there and drop off the jeans. I arrived and Mr. Imparali (their dad) stayed after just to measure my hem and then the tune around time was quick! Just a few days later we picked up the jeans and they even expedited it for us. Excellent customer service, above and beyond, and precise, dependable work on the hem! I'd highly recommend them and use them in the future! Just the sweetest family honestly!
