Leo: Biker jacket, too? Dutchman: Half Japanese guy with curly black hair? Leo: Oh, he just like you! Dutchman: He doesn't look a thing like me ... Leo: But he have a busted up old jacket like you!

Not only did Leo amazingly fix those repairs but a couple of others we talked about together. And I could swear we never talked about he just found and fixed. My jacket is back in great condition. I had a little hole on the sleeve, where a fence or something have snagged me, the string to one of the pockets was broken and the zipper inlay, we're a little loose due to previously being fixed somewhere else a long time ago. I couldn't be happier Leo fixed the jacket up great . Leo is the best. I have been back to Leo with some other leather good, belts and a satchel. I got some leather conditioner from him and learned a little bit about taking care of my leather goods. If You need a leather item fixed or you're looking for a leather coat Leo is definitely the man to see! His prices are unbeatable, great value.

Love this purse and amazed at how great it looks! I can't wait to show it off! I should mention that a clerk at the Bottega store recommended Without a Trace to me because Bottega doesn't service their vintage bags. The process did take 2 months but patience paid off. I will be back with more bags to be restored!

And it takes about 4 weeks to fix it. And the quote of repair is $180. A fews days later, they called me and said the bag was ready to pick up. So I went there and pick it up today. Once I saw the bag, I am very disappointed of what they repair . I think it was overcharge of the repair price.

This is an amazing place for alterations! Esther is the owner and has many years of experience with…read morealterations and is a true expert in the craft. I had taken a bridesmaid dress to her that needed to have the zipper removed and completely taken in the back. She completed it so perfectly you couldn't tell there were alterations. I took another chiffon dress with several layers that had to have the entire side taken in. Again, she completed it flawlessly, quickly and at a very fair price. I had complete confidence in her so took my WEDDING DRESS into her. Once again, she altered the straps, took in the sides of the fitted bodice and took in the skirt. It came out absolutely perfect. My husband then brought in two suits that were meant to be "slim fit" but did not fit on him as he expected. She took in the jacket sleeves (both length and width of the arms) took in the jacket back, tapered his pants and hemmed them. They fit exactly how he wanted. You cannot beat the combination of her quality of work and price. I referred some friends to her and she has worked the same magic. :) I highly recommend her!

We had a very short engagement and a big time crunch once I got the dress back from being altered. The dress looked great and they were very nice to chat with, so I brought it back after the wedding. The dress was pretty dirty from grass and mud stains and dye that transferred from my other wedding dress (a red, Sikh wedding dress). I was worried the red dye wouldn't come out of the white dress. But the dress is back to pristine condition! They seemed very knowledgable and gave a great price. They handled a treasured item with care and I would gladly come back or recommend them to anyone!

The lady who helped me (wish I knew her name!) and Jason, the owner, recommended snaps instead of buttons since the fabric (mostly nylon) was so delicate - and they were absolutely right. It turned out perfect, the price was fair, and I couldn't be happier. Whether you need expert dry cleaning or tailoring from a skilled seamstress, this is hands down the friendliest and most efficient cleaners in Chi-town!!

I wanted to love Isel's Cleaners, I really did. Maybe the employee here is right; maybe I'm just…read moreunlucky. According to her, I am the only one with these issues. If it were a one-off, I would be more understanding, but it seems as though more times than not when I'm here, something goes wrong. Also, as an aside, perhaps it's not the best idea to tell a customer who is upset that things are constantly going wrong that he's unlucky. Let me give you a core example of what I mean. In summertime, I brought in a down jacket to be cleaned and repaired after I fell off an e-scooter. Oops. The quoted time for the jacket to be cleaned and repaired was a week. I gave them two, and the jacket wasn't done. Once again, I was quoted a time of a week. I came back in two, and the jacket still wasn't done. The response given was that, and I quote, "You don't need it." Well, you know something? Maybe I don't, but you don't know that for a fact. Maybe I'm going to Greenland or something. Don't promise something if you can't deliver it, and especially don't do so twice. There was another incident where I was almost given a shirt that wasn't mine. Thankfully, I am the kind of weirdo who more or less knows the labels on the insides of his shirts. I recognized it wasn't mine. This did recur a couple months later when the shirt I was given was definitely not mine - I could tell by its pattern and design, which again surprised her. Yes, mistakes happen, but it's weird that this happened twice. I can only imagine if I had taken someone else's shirt home by mistake, and then that person would have come back saying, "Where the heck is my shirt? Why did you give it to somebody else?" There was also an incident involving another item I gave them to be cleaned, where the company to which they outsource out did a poor job, and there was still a stain. So, the item was sent back. When I arrived, I found the shirt wasn't done, and I wasn't notified beforehand. Okay, fine. So, I came back later at the agreed-upon time, and the shirt still wasn't ready because the company to which they outsource their cleaning still hadn't done a good job. I received no notification of any kind. At this point, I said, "Enough is enough." I took my items back, I took my money back, and I took my items somewhere else. Let me close on saying this: The employee here is very kind and very sweet, and the prices here are almost unbeatable. I urge you to give them a chance assuming: 1. You are in no hurry. 2. You carefully check to make sure that the clothes you get are your own. 3. Don't give them any expensive or valuable items in case they're accidentally given to someone else.
