Super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I feel confident that the alterations will be done extremely well. Bonus...they sell men's suits, shirts, and shoes. read more

I've never even heard about The Needle Express until I needed to repair a torn seam. My experience was little short of miraculous. David repaired it in less than 5 minutes, on the house, and we had a short wonderful chat before the line began to form. The store has a great assortment of high quality menswear, shoes and accessories. I highly recommend this business both for shopping and for alterations. It will be my first choice. read more

Always great service. Friendly staff, quality work. Would recommend as we have been using for decades.

Every time I need alterations I come here! Their work is quality & usually done within a week! Such wonderful people work & sew there, I will go nowhere else! read more

They did a really good job with my new suit, very honest and upfront about everything I would need for the occasion. I'm definitely coming back! V.M. read more

Don't bother with these people if you're not going in for a suit alteration. I asked for some simple work to be done like cutting down a queen quilt to fit a twin bed or altering a pillow sham size and they completely turned me down and we're rude about it. read more

We needed a flower girl dress let out and they did it in a week for a really fair price.

needle express hemmed my dresss very nicely and for a good price. They had it done early

I have been going to Needle Express for the last 6 months and wanted to post some positive feedback. I typically like my tailoring to be close cut, and they have always done such a great job making my suiting fit just the way I want it. David and Filya are some of the nicest people I ever met. Not only do they stand behind their alterations, they always have such a genuinely bright energy. Needle Express is the best tailor in the Inland Empire and it's not even close! read more

My husband bought an off-the-rack jacket and dress pants at Macy's. David, through his fine tailoring, made the jacket and pants look as if they were "bespoke". I think David is the consummate "old world tailor". His prices are fair for the high level of work he performs. Highly recommend if you want alterations that are top notch. read more

Another great job! Always professional, always get the job done and on time. It's a Very busy place and I can see why, they're a great couple..... this place has lots to offer, you can buy new men's suits or dress shirt, slacks & jackets......,they even carry men's dress hats.... Plenty of parking, great customer service Mask are required ! read more

I asked for a last minute alterations and they were able to accommodate! I'm so grateful to have found this place! Service was impeccable and the person assisting me gave me great advice on the alterations. I will definitely keep coming here and recommend this place to anyone. read more

I highly recommend this place. Way better than Men's Wearhouse. They have everything you need and have great prices. Their suits look amazing, and a lot better than what I have rented for weddings at Men's Wearhouse. And I've rented Vera Wang. I have a suit I bought from them a few years ago, and everybody compliments it. They tailored it to fit, and their customer service is top-notch. Family owned and ran, which is nice because I love to support local Redlands businesses. Whether you're going to prom, getting married, looking for suits for your groomsmen, I highly recommend this place. Plus your groomsmen can own the suit and pay less than they would to rent some suits at Men's Wearhouse. And they will look twice as good. They carry name brand stuff, and tailor it to fit. so don't worry you're not going to look like you walked out of JCPenney. read more

Such good work here! Owners were very nice, i wasn't liking my bridesmaid dress but they just pulled it in a bit and now i love it! They are so efficient, my dress was done in a week and it wasn't badly priced. read more

Busy place and they charge really big prices $$$$. Does the same work as any other alteration companies? Won't use them again.

Drove all the way from palm springs it was 2 pm ,,,and doors were closed even though they were inside,,told me sorry,,, that's bad business

Amazed by this place! On about a weeks worth of notice I realized the dress for my engagement was no longer fitting and I needed to have it taken out. I was so happy to hear they could do it, but when I came in the owner told me I didn't need to have it taken out, it zipped up fine and showed me a trick to zip it. I was so thankful and appreciative for the honesty. She did suggest reinforcing with a stronger hook and eye on the back which I happily did, and the dress was done in just a few days- ready for our photo shoot :) I absolutely will be returning to this place for any tailoring needs and highly recommend them! read more

Dropped in on a whim and got hooked up right away! Needed emergency clothes for a wedding and my man David got me all taken care of. 10/10

Excellent work in a timely manner at a fair price! The owner seemed to have a genuine passion and respect for his work. Had a dress taken in for a formal event, it fit perfectly. They took up my husbands suit a year ago and he was also really happy with the quality of the work. read more

I had a last minute dress to fix for a wedding, and it wasn't originally mine. It barely fit but they did an incredible job making it work for me and in a very reasonable amount of time! This will be my definite continued go to for their services! read more

It's long overdue that I write a review for Needle Express!! I trusted them with my wedding dress tailoring and they did SUCH an amazing job. They took time to listen to my concerns, be realistic, and go the extra mile to make sure I was happy. Today I brought in a different dress (this time the a guest for a wedding!) and talked about what I was wanting to alter on the dress. The owner was honest with me and shared that what I was wanting would be difficult because of the seaming of the dress. She told me that she could try what I wanted, but that it probably wouldn't turn out how I envisioned and that she wanted to save me money. I so appreciate the honesty and craftsmanship found at Needle Express, and will be going there for every tailoring need!!!! read more

I needed a zipper added to my dress since it was impossible to take it off without worrying that I was gonna rip it... I already had gotten turned down from a different tailor earlier that day, but the wonderful couple took a look at the dress and gave me options as to how they can add the zipper. One week later, BAAM there was a side zipper perfectly placed and they also shortened the straps for me. Definitely would revisit them again for any of my alteration needs. read more

I was speaking at my mother's funeral, and needed the only black suit trousers I owned to be radically taken in, having lost significant weight since that suit had been purchased 5 years ago. On just two days notice, the proprietors worked quickly to make the necessary alterations and have the trousers ready in time. And I was only charged $20.00 for the necessary tailoring, to boot. I consider this to be exemplary customer service and kindness, and will not hesitate to return here for any tailoring alterations or wardrobe repairs I may need in the future. read more

I've been to Needle Express about 6-7 total times now, and each time I visit, the service is top-tier. I feel like an incredibly valued customer, and that I will leave the shop with the exact result I am looking for. The owners are incredibly friendly, and a pleasure to do business with. The prices on garments as well as alterations are hard to beat... along with the great service, I have found no reason to go anywhere else. Highly recommended!! read more

What a nice man that helped me! I don't know about you, but great customer service is priceless! He was so informative and patient! I asked a ton of questions and he patiently answered them. Great experience! read more

The people are very nice, and they do a great job even though I asked for an expedited job on my suit! David was courteous and very diligent. read more

Hi brought in two suits, both need it many alterations to make them fit. Yes it is pricey, however, there was a lot of work to be done. Came by to pick them up, one suit, which was much older and needed to be re-cut to modernize it. The older suit jacket needed the length to be shorten, the pant were very baggy and required for the legs to be tapered, the seat to be changed, and the crotch to be brought up to look normal, like I said, a lot of work worth the price I paid. It gave a whole new life to an old suit. The newer suit still needed some alterations, and they were able to keep it and address the new alterations for no charge. They do great work, can't even tell they did anything to the jackets from the inside, but definitely fit better now than they did before. The pants also fit great with all the alterations that they made. I do a lot of sewing as a hobby, I do hem my pants and take in my shirts, but nothing like what they do here, trust me what they do is a lot of work and they do it well. Again, highly recommend their work, well worth the price that they charge, these people are friendly and very receptive to your request. read more

Needle Express did an amazing job on my daughter's prom dress. My daughter is was pretty picky and even though she is petite, she wanted to be able to wear heels and flats and still have the dress be the right length - pretty tricky! The seamstress was very sweet and took the time to talk with my daughter and make her feel comfortable about the alterations. Definitely recommended for special occasion alterations! read more

This little place is a diamond in the rough. If you're not careful, you could miss it. However, they recently began putting a sign out on the sidewalk so you don't miss them. They have done a wonderful job for me on multiple items of clothing. I took in a pair of my boyfriend's jeans that wear completely shredded in the crotch area. They were able to repair them in a matter of days! Of course I had to pay an rush service fee which was only $5, but they did great! You can't even tell there was a big hole in the crotch! I recently took in a pair of my Rock&Republic jeans to be hemmed and they did an excellent job once again. I'm waiting to see how well they do on a pair of jeans I've had for over 10 years. I do not want to get rid of them because they were discontinued and they are MY FAVORITE PAIR OF JEANS! I pick them up tomorrow, but I'm positive they did an excellent job. I'm not sure where this couple is from, but they are definitely European. They are the cutest couple and they do impeccable work. I suggest them for any alterations or tailoring you may have! read more

Needle Express is tailor made Family owned and run Needle Express has been serving Redlands' tailoring needs for the past 15 years. Owners Filya and David Jacob specialize in major alterations and also sell men's suits and dress shoes. Needle Express was voted "Best Tailor" in a regional magazine last year. Tailoring has been in David Jacob's family for decades, and the couple have been in this business for more than two decades. "When we moved to Redlands, we loved the community and loved the people and decided we wanted to settle down here forever," Filya Jacob said. David said customer service is the business' priority. "We try our best to satisfy our customers and take pride in our work and the experience that we have. I went to school in Germany, and I'm a professional tailor. In Germany, you have to have a school degree to have a shop," Filya said. Like many locally owned businesses, Needle Express donates to local nonprofit organizations, such as the Boys and Girls Club, and spends locally for inventory. "When someone from the community needs something like a suit or an alteration we are happy to help as much as we can. We also donate to silent auctions," she said. Filya said they are more than happy to donate when they can if someone in the community is in need. "I buy my threading at Hancocks and Jo-Ann's in town, in between large shipments, when I need threading right away. We try and buy our supplies locally and try and stay within the community," Filya said. The Jacobs expressed their gratitude to their customers and community and their love of Redlands, they want to say "thank you" to their customers. "It means so much to be a part of this town. Our customers have been loyal for the past 15 years. We are honored to have them and to have our shop in Redlands," Filya said. The Jacobs are both in agreement that their customers mean everything to them. The shop offers one-day service and is open Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Suze Knobler, Staff Writer Inland Valley Daily Bulletin Contact Suze via email or by phone at 909-793-3221, ext. 319. read more

I know there are a lot of positive reviews here, but I think there are quite a few that are actually meant for Express Tailoring, not Needle Express. Express Tailoring is on Redlands Blvd., whereas this one is located on 6th. The reason I said that is because I saw all of these positive reviews on the prices being reasonable and I have found the COMPLETE OPPOSITE with this place! I needed alterations to a bridesmaid dress. Unfortunately my dress was a bit tight and needed extra material. The woman there quoted me $65 because of all of the work. Needless to say, I ended up getting a different dress to avoid having to pay that much in alterations. But the new dress also needed alterations, but this time only to be shortened. Guess how much it was going to cost? Yup, $65. Seriously??? To shorten the dress??? I smell something fishy. I headed over to Express Tailoring and it was only going to cost $35. I'll head there instead. Oh the two stars is because when I did need work done, they were willing to work to get me the dress in time. read more

I've received disappointing service on more than one occasion. The owner once even lied to me about the material of a tie he sold me. I wouldn't trust this place with anything more delicate than hemming a pair of pants. Three stars up from two because you can pay an express charge to get work rushed. read more

Just dropped off my wedding shirt to have the arms slimmed (btw, if you ever have to go off white for a formal dressing.......think twice.......that color is tough to match) and pockets removed, and they had it done in less than a 5 days! To slim the arms and remove a pocket......and to dry clean.....$20! Wow, this store knows how to handle business! read more

Just dropped off a dress to have tailored. I'll complete my review once I pick it up, but just dropping it off deserved 4 stars. I brought in my dress that had an X across the back as a design, but the X was really tight on my back. I wasn't sure if they'd be able to extend/move it because of the fabric it was made out of, but the owner looked at it for a bit and had an idea, then called his wife over to take a look. She had a great idea of extending it with another fabric and hiding it under the fabric on the shoulders of the dress. These two make a great team and I'm really happy that they were able to figure out a way to make this dress work for me. Can't wait to pick it up Thursday and wear it to a wedding Friday! read more
