DO NOT BRING YOUR CLOTHES HERE. My husband brought in a pair of expensive jeans to do a simple hem. First, he charged nearly 100 dollars for this hem. Then when he came to pick up the pants they were nothing like he asked. The stitching at the bottom was yellow and didn't match the rest of the stitching on the jeans, it also looked TERRIBLE. On top of that it was not the hemming that they had agreed to, he asked him not to cut and to keep the extra material just in case the length was off. They were cut anyway and the pants are far too short. He did not want to refund the money even though he completely ruined the jeans. After some haggling he admitted that he SENT THE JEANS TO A TAILOR! how are you advertising a business but then sending the clothes to someone else?!? Is that why he's over charging for a simple hem? Dishonest ownership, lack of morality. Save your money because now we have to completely replace the item of clothing he ruined. read more

I frantically called to get my bridesmaids dress altered a day before I had to leave for the wedding and Rogelio was so sweet!! He hemmed my dress to the perfect length and was so quick and efficient. I was willing to pay anything and was pleasantly surprised at how affordable it was especially considering I needed it done ASAP. Would highly recommend. read more

Pervert. Unprofessional. Took my clothes. 0 1. While we were seeing where the adjustments were needed, I was sexually harassed and he made comments about my body. 2. I left my name and number, he did not give me a quote, call me, or finish my clothing in the agreed time frame. I'm debating on not returning for my clothing at this point. Severely disappointed that I went to this establishment. read more

He is very professional, his pricing is fair, and his turnaround time is reasonable. I bought this wedding dress and it was just slightly too big, but he was able to fix it up so it fit me perfectly and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. read more

John's Tailor - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Lomita, California

Recently I got an inexpensive blazer and I wanted to shorten sleeves as soon as possible. I did a quick Yelp search and discovered this mom-and-pop alternation shop called John's Tailor. I walked in on Thursday at 1 PM and the guy (I believe he's the owner) said that he can finish the sleeve alteration by Saturday 11 AM - 12 PM. I paid $40 on the spot and sure enough he finished the alteration when I stopped by on Sunday at 1 PM. He initially had trouble finding my blazer, but I pointed to my blazer on the rack and he couldn't locate my cloth because there was a mislabel on my receipt. $40 is slightly expensive to shorten sleeves for a blazer (few places in SoCal offer $25) and it would be even better if I get a call when they finished the work, but overall I was satisfied with the service and he did finish the job on time (less than 48-hour turnaround time). read more

John's Tailor has been my go to for all my denim alteration needs! He's very consistent and hasn't let me down when it comes to having my jeans ready by the date he provides. He does a solid job of listening and pays attention to the details. read more

My go to Tailor. John is funny and good at what he's doing. I moved to DTLA but still make the trip back to him when I have the need.

This guy is a PRO! I've been coming here for years and had tons of clothes altered: Dress shirts, different types of suits, jackets, pants, shorts, MMA/Jiu jitsu clothes, work uniforms, etc. Its the only place to bring your formal and business attire. Rogelio can take almost any suit and make it look like it was custom made for you. On the first visit I wanted to see if I could trust him with some pricier items in the future, so I brought over two $75 Massimo suits from Target and asked him to go to town on them, not just hemming sleeves and pant legs. When he was done with them they looked way more valuable. I'd often get compliments on those suits and nobody believed they were from Target. From there I brought in anything and everything: designer suits, suits from Nordstrom, Saks, vintage suits, rare finds from the thrift store, etc. Everything he's worked on has came out great. On occasion I'll even spend more on the alteration than the actual garment, because Rogelio really knows how to make clothes compliment the physiques of his clients. He's been mastering his craft since his teenage years, tailored for celebrities (he's too humble to bring it up), and well worth the compensation he quotes. This place is a hidden gem in my opinion, and you're really missing out if you only limit your experience to hemming pant legs. read more

John was really friendly and professional. You can tell when you meet him that he did this a long time. I brought in my green velvet formal dress that was way too long. I put on my heels and he figured out the right height . I gave him a due date and he even finished early. I got it and tried it on at home and it looked fantastic. I couldn't be anymore happier. It like the dress was made for me after that. I can't wait to wear it for my big event. Thanks John! read more

Today I picked up my Mother of The Groom dress. It required a major alteration and John's Tailor did an outstanding job! My gown fits me like a glove. John is so personable and listened to what I wanted done. I have already recommended him to a few of my friends. Any future clothing item that needs an alteration, I will be going back to John's Tailor! read more

I recently went to John hoping he could alter a silk Indian garment (a sort of tunic properly called a Sherwani, I learned) that I was scheduled to wear at my son's wedding. The shoulders were a bit too wide and the sleeves were a bit too long, but the sleeves ended in a particular sort of hem such that it wouldn't look right just to "cuff" the end of the sleeves. So he reset the shoulders, took in the sleeves at the shoulder, and it all worked out beautifully. He did all this quickly and for a most reasonable price. Very highly recommended. read more

Been going to Juan for a couple of years now. From workout pants to suits, he has done a good job. The ultimate test came this year. My dad passed away last summer. He had this jeans jacket he wore in the 1980s and 1990s. To strangers, the jacket is worth 5 bucks (if that), but for obvious reasons it's priceless to me. Was going to store it away, but figured I'd ask Juan if he could alter it to my size. Met up with him and explained the meaning of the jacket and what I was hoping to get done. It would take some skilled work to alter since my dad was a bigger guy than I. Talked it over, took my measurements and met up with him again as he was working on it to ensure it was coming out bad expected. The end result was FANTASTIC (see the pic). Fitted / vintage style! My dad got a lot of good use out of it and now it's my turn to add some miles to it. Juan is professional, highly skilled, patient and friendly. He takes his job seriously. He's not "cheap," but he knows his work and should be compensated for it. Highly recommend him for all your tailoring needs! read more

John's Tailor - Wearing dads jacket after Juan did a whole redo of it. Below are pics of my dad wearing it years ago. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Lomita, California

I rarely need to get things tailored but this place was fast on getting two pants tailored.

What a jerk! It's been a long time since I've given a bad review. Im sorry, but this guy really made me mad. There's no excuse for hanging up on a potential customer when they are asking questions about your business. I was calling for pricing estimates because I have multiple suits and shirts that need alterations. He exclaimed I need to come in to see his work. I called because of the good reviews but I live far, but willing to travel for good work. Once he found out I didn't want to come in for pricing, he hung up on me. I called him back to explain why, being I don't live close... He did not care. He literally said, just come in or don't come at all. I don't care how good his work is... I refuse to pay to be treated like this. #badbusiness read more

Great customer service and very friendly. Also provides amazing work at a good price!

I came here for some minor alterations for my cheap suits, he does pretty good work and is a honest guy, he tells me when he doesn't think I need things altered etc.. he is cash only though and sometimes his work isn't PERFECT but his cheaper prices keep me coming back for .. like i said my cheaper suits. i wouldn't get my wedding suit or anything that important altered here but for daily stuff he's great read more

Just picked up my daughter's dress, and it fits perfectly. Quick turnaround time. Would come back here again.

OMG...Owner is the nicest, friendliest store owner I have ever met...went to this store to get my ripped shorts fixed since his reviews were excellent...the reviews were true...I'd highly recommend him and if you're smart, you won't read anyone else's reviews as he's definitely the bomb!!! read more

GREAT SERVICE!!!! Extremely affordable and good quality work. I definitely recommend this business!

OVERPRICED!! POOR WORKMANSHIP!! UNPROFESSIONAL!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!! If I could give 0 (zero) I would. I will NEVER bring anything here again. First of all, store hours say they open at 9am. I arrived exactly at 9 and waited 20 minutes. He never arrived. I called at 9:30 to see if someone was there and he finally answered. Because I needed an alteration that day, I risked going to him. When I showed up and asked why his hours were so early if he wasn't going to be there, instead of just apologizing, he tried to give excuses of having to take 3 freeways and traffic and blah blah blah. No degree of professionalism. He promised my item by end of day - again I needed it done, so I consented. When I arrived at end of day to pick up my piece, upon inspection of the garment, he used the wrong color thread, even though the appropriate color was sitting next to the sewing machine. When I asked why he did that, especially given the needed color was available, he said "well, uh, I didn't think you'd look so closely." He said he would redo it and to come back another day. He should have done it right the first time especially since he was charging me for same day service. I will NEVER come here again and I suggest going elsewhere if possible. read more

I came to John a week before my wedding from another local tailor who did an awful job on my dress and left me hanging. The bust area was WAY too loose. John fixed my dress immediately. It was done within a few days. It was perfect! If I could give 10 stars I would! read more

John's Tailor - My perfectly tailored dress! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Lomita, California

Rogelio is now my go to guy. Very nice guy and does great work. I'll definitely be back

Rogelio is a true professional. He tailored a couple of work uniform pants. His work is better than expected. They were ready on time. Great customer service. read more

Great work, but for a jacket that I paid $80 for, it was tough to swallow a $32 sleeve alteration (shortened). However, he did great work, and I am very happy with the coat. Note: Only accepts cash read more

So far I got 6 pants hemmed and they all turned out perfect and ready next day. Rogelio loves what he's doing and I will always return. Some places - especially small businesses - do anything to get a good review on yelp but Rogelio has no clue ..... He didn't know about yelp and even though I explained it to him - I think he didn't understand me ! read more

Finding a good tailor that works for you can be a shot in the dark if you don't know one. I found John's Tailor on Yelp about a year ago. I love him. He's altered pants and suits for me whenever I need it. He may cost a little more than some others, but it's because of the quality of his work. He does things right and will give you options. He's been there for over 20 years and if that means anything to you, you should give him a try. I won't go anywhere else because he knows my preferences and always does great work in a very reasonable amount of time. Plus I like supporting small, local businesses.

Recently bought 2 suits and had them tailored. Long story short, they looked horrible when they were finished. Since I am passive aggressive, I didn't say anything but I decided to go somewhere else to get them repaired. I chose this place from the yelp reviews and I am happy that I did. The suits look great. It is a little pricey but it is really worth it. The owner's name is Rogelio. He has been doing this since he was 17 so he knows what to do to. His work truly speaks for itself. read more

AWESOME! I have a vintage dress - made in 1953 that needed to be taken out by 2 inches and many other places said that it could not be done but not at JOHN'S TAILOR. I walked - I tried on my dress - he said YES IT CAN BE DONE. I love my vintage dresses and don't trust everyone but ROGELIO is awesome! read more

We went to John's to repair a worn elbow in a suit jacket. We were assured he could fix it and it wouldn't be worth the cost to have it rewoven. It looks like he used liquid stitch and created a scab, the jacket will have to go to goodwill. My biggest issue is that he did not even press the jacket. I've never had alterations where they didn't press the garment after completing it. I don't know if this is an L.A. thing, or just a craftsmen with no care for his work. $15 was worth it to find out I can't trust him with business professional clothing. I don't know if we were profiled as a jacket we were going to have resized he was just going to lop off the end instead of making the adjustment at the shoulder until I asked him about it and he said "oh you know what you're doing". read more

I came here based on yelp reviews. Rodrigo the owner was helpful and honest. I needed patches sewn on my jujitsu gi's. We started talking and found out he was a boxer in his day and his sons competed in boxing and one of them is a pro wrestler in Mexico. He watches a lot of MMA and knew what I wanted. Dropped of the gi's and boardshorts and 3 days later called to let me know they are finished. He did excellent work. One chest patch was slightly off, but that was probably me since I originally placed them there in the first place, still, lol. read more

Took a pair of pants to get hemming and he asked me when I needed it done by. I asked if he could do it on the spot (despite he was working on something else) and he did. Waited about 10 min and the pants were done. Paid $8. Very pleased with the service and I will go back for future alteration needs. read more

Called last minute if he can get my jeans hemmed within the day, came in and got back to me after an hour! :) Thank you!

The tailor is excellent!!! I've been going to him for years. I've taken simple items to him to alter, such as hemming pants. Recently, I had a big HOLE in my favorite knit dress. He stiched it up so good that I couldn't even figure out were the orginal hole was located. Also, he is quick and his prices are right!!! read more

This place is the best. It's nice to go to a business that specializes in one thing--alterations/tailoring. The owner is an expert at what he does and is super friendly and welcoming. My husband had three pairs of Levi 501's that he wanted turned into shorts. I had read all the great reviews and decided to give this place a try. We came in, told Rogelio what we wanted, my husband tried one pair of the jeans on, came out of the fitting room, Rogelio marked the spot on the fabric where my husband wanted the length to be, and that was all there was to it. We picked up the finished shorts a couple days later, and they were done perfectly. Rogelio even matched the color of thread he used to that of each pair of jean. That's attention to detail that is very much appreciated. Well done Rogelio!!! Now my husband has three new pairs of jean shorts, for the minimal cost of alterations. read more

"You get what you pay for". I have always believed that saying. This time was no different. I took 2 shirts, a 3pc suit, a regular suit and a pair of slacks to Rogelio. He made all that I brought to him fit the way I hoped for and repaired the lining and stitching of the slacks. A simple conversation and he delivered beyond my expectations. My bill was not as if I had Rogelio create a suit from scratch but it was also not cheap. But if it was cheap, I'm sure the outcome of my clothes would have been also. I'm very happy and satisfied with the service Rogelio provided and the outcome of his expertise and the promptness of his work. I'm bringing him 2 more suits next week. read more

I had a very good experience here. So far, I've had 3 pairs of pants hemmed and 1 zipper repaired. Pretty easy stuff for a tailor but I can't do it! Rogelio did a great job and is very fast and prices are very reasonable. He even had to finish the edge and did a blind stitch for one pair and still only charged me $8. They came out perfect! Super happy!! read more

I never leave reviews, but I just had to leave a review for my boy Rogelio. This dude is amazing! He has tailored my suits, jeans, and other clothing items to near perfection. He has a ton of experience, extremely knowledgeable, and is just a joy to talk to. I highly recommend him. read more

I can see in Rogelio's eyes that he elevates tailoring into an art form. He masterfully took a 3-piece suit down a size that was one size too large, while slimming down several places: the waist & hip area, the arms, among others. The end result was a snug fit: not skin-tight like too many tailored outfits appear nowadays where it seems the victim can barely move around, but fitting yet offering full range of movement! Rogelio may price his services at a premium, but it's reasonable given the quality of his craftmanship and experience. Rogelio also offers services to make dress shirts and suits from scratch. I just might take him up on his offers one day! read more

Had my first experience with John this week. I took a suit to him on Wednesday and it was was ready by Friday (suit coat shortening, slight alteration to custom fit, and hemmed pants). The work was high quality and you can tell this guy knows his stuff. But that's not why John gets 5 stars, John came through for me today... After needing to get 2 suits tailors same day he had them both ready in less than 4 hours which was a huge help for me as I needed them for a business trip ASAP. He's an older cat with lots of cool stories from his past experience working with some pretty famous people. He's definitely not the cheapest in town but in my opinion id rather pay a bit more for quality lasting work rather than half done jobs where you have to get them redone. Great job John! See you soon! read more
