William is an extraordinary tailor! He has the magic touch to make your garment look exceptional and custom fitted. I appreciate his great eye and understanding of menswear and fine details as well. I first visited this tailor a few years ago with a blazer that I had bought overseas. Because of my height, jackets always have to be cut down and made slimmer, and buying off the rack suits is a nightmare because the pants are always way too big in the waist and require a lot of tailoring. William did the most beautiful job on a blazer that I bought in Spain and even added special stitching to the button holes; it has been my favorite jacket ever since. Last week I brought in a new suit and some shirts to take in, and he did the most incredible tailoring job once again. I've had suits tailored in Rome by some of the best tailors my friends recommended, and honestly I think William is better than any of them. The shop is also decorated with antique cameras on display and lots of interesting things to look at. The whole staff is super charming and nice. There's parking in back in a small lot with meters and I believe the shop has a couple of parking spots of their own, but I haven't used them. I give this establishment my highest recommendation as a tailor and also the prices are a good value. Turn around is quick as well. The jackets and suits that I have brought here have always ended up being my favorite and best fitting pieces. read more

I specifically called to ask if they did reweaving and they said yes. I then dropped off two sweaters with small moth holes and made it absolutely clear that I wanted reweaving not stitching. I repeated this several times explaining that reweaving should be invisible and that I did not want stitching under any circumstances since I had already had a bad experience with this elsewhere. They told me they understood and that the work would take two weeks. When I came back I was shocked to find that they had done exactly what I asked them not to do, they stitched the holes. The stitches are obvious to the eye and to the touch yet they insisted it was "reweaving." My sweaters are now ruined and the only way I could get them back was to pay for work I never agreed to. I feel completely cheated and lied to about what services they provide and forced to pay for the exact opposite of what I asked for. On top of that I now have to pay again somewhere else to try and salvage my sweaters. This was a very dishonest and upsetting experience. read more

Pleasant people. Good work. Fair prices. Have used them for years. Can be amusing or ordinary but a decent experience.

William and his team are amazing! I got a few dressed for a cruise and Miami tailored and they turned out amazing! Also altered my fiancé's pants. 10000000% would recommend this shop. read more

Amazing! Loved my experience and my suit turned out fantastic. Will definitely be back.

The best tailor ever! Fits you like a charm! Amazing 5 stars! Look no where else! He knows what he is doing!!!

Taking off the rack to custom , William is the master at making you look stunning!! He's carefully tailoring my new coat to form my body perfectly. He takes his time ensuring every aspect of the coat is form fit. Today he took in the each side, back, sleeves, and Length of sleeves. Can't wait to see the coat ! He works fast and can typically have a mens coat done within 2-3 days. Same for pants. I can't speak for women's clothes but either way , the wait is worth it. read more

William is a magician. There is literally nothing he can't alter or fix. I've driven 30+ miles in LA traffic because I won't risk my alterations with anybody else. There is tailoring and then there's William and his team. He has my highest recommendation. read more

Just moved to LA and was in need desperate need of a good and trusted tailor. I had a bridemaids dress that was huge on me and William was able to bring it in and hem the length in a week! When I tried it on I initially thought it was too tight and he was willing to bring it out again with no issues. I tried it one more time just to be sure and turns out I was just wearing it too high lol, the dress fit perfectly! During the pick up I also brought in a skirt that was just a bit too loose hoping to fix it in time before my trip. I found out altering it would've cost more than it was worth so I decided against it. William instead offered to do a quick fix on the spot instead of fully altering it AND didn't charge me for it, so kind of him. William and his wife have been in business for 33 years and are experts at what they do. They're extremely kind and honest, I'll be coming here for all my alterations now! read more

A friend in the neighborhood recommended New Look Tailoring. I took a jacket in for some alterations. It was perfect and at a fair price. I enjoyed being in the shop with its old school European charm. I would go back again for future alteration needs. read more

I've been coming here for the last 14 years. I'm meticulous in nature and I can tell you that everything about this place is excellent. Their work quality is superb, their attitude is very pleasant, their turnaround time is relatively quick, their prices are very reasonable, and they pay attention to detail. For every 20 alterations places that are bad, you might find one that's good. This one happens to be great! read more

William is amazing, he reconstructed my jacket overnight and hemmed 3 pants. He's friendly, professional and very polite.

Got my bridesmaid's dress for a wedding tailored here with William. I brought my dress in 2 weeks ago on a Tuesday (9/27) and received the finished product on Wednesday the following week (10/5; he okay'd the timeline with me). The dress was PERFECT and fit like a glove! The price was completely reasonable given the alterations I needed done and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better quality job. I will definitely be coming back here for any tailoring needs I have. read more

We ordered a lovely gown for a formal event but the fit was unflattering and it was 4" too long even with the highest heels. New Look Tailor not only transformed it into a stunning and flattering gown but did it in lightning speed. Highly recommend!! read more

I'm a wheelchair user looking for a tailor who can adjust some of the designer jeans I owned before I became a paraplegic to fit me better sitting down. So I browsed Yelp to find a tailor and gave New Look a call. When I briefly explained what I was looking for to the man who answered the phone, he interrupted me with an immediate "no, no, no, no." He then told me "these guys are very busy and they work by the hour so it can get expensive." I told him price was not an issue for me, and he just said again "no, no, no." To clarify, I asked him, "So you guys are just not interested at all in working with a wheelchair user?" He replied, "No, you have to find someone else." And then he hung up on me. Discrimination against disabled people is an unfortunate part of my life, but it's usually more subtle than this. I'm disgusted and will be speaking with my ADA attorney about this. read more

Shockingly bad work. I brought in a new high end sport coat that needed a lot of altering, and it took several repeat efforts to get it right. The sleeve was misaligned, there was a new tear left open along one seam, the bottom was shortened on one side, but not the other, leaving it uneven, the shoulder pad had an indentation, and when redone was worse. This was after William gave me an estimate before the measurements, and then charged me $80 more. And upon the final pick up, they handed me a $1000 coat on a wire hanger. This is an old guy, who might once have been good, and a shop with six laborers in the back doing poor work. Bad experience. read more

Great customer service, William and his staff are all very nice, polite and do great job. I only trust William with my vintage clothing items. His work s impecable. read more

William is an absolute gem in this city. If the cloths is not right for you, he says it to your face and doesn't play a game. Love him.

William is a master at making clothes look custom. He has done dozens of alterations as well as hemming for me and my family over the last ten years. Easy parking in back. Quick turnaround time. Highly recommend New Look Tailoring! read more

I highly recommend this shop! I was on a tight deadline and needed a dress tailored to a slightly larger size so that the back would zip up for an event within the same week. William fixed the dress seamlessly and returned it to me the very next day. He was incredibly kind and overall, my experience was great. Also, everyone in the shop is attentive when it comes to social distancing and masks. If you need something tailored and quickly, this is the place to be. read more

My regular tailor. Just recently we had to get a pair of pants done same day...they did it with a smile and reasonably priced. Great craftsmanship, and the tailor is a real character. Love it. read more

If your looking for a tailor on the west side don't look any further! Every one here is extremely friendly and helpful. They help you decide what the right look is and do excellent work! I take everything I need tailored here. William will leave you looking like a million bucks. read more

By far the most amazing Taylor I've ever been to! I keep coming back because they do such good work. He knows exactly what he's doing and I always trust his opinions. Plus they are willing to work with you one when to have it done by. Love this place! read more

The best. I took in a World War One reenactors uniform that was at least a men's 40R and they rebuilt it to fit me, Womens 36R. They took off the sleeves, rebuilt the shoulders, then took in the sleeves and reset them. He took in the rest of the jacket to fit. Somehow, they found extra fabric and patched a hole in the back of the jacket. Then he took in the pants, but first he had to take the knee pads off then perform the alteration and reassemble the pants with the knee pads. It was an insane alteration and I'm very impressed. read more

William and his team are absolute miracle workers! My mother and I went to William with some pretty tough asks--working with a delicate beaded dress material and a delicate corseted dress that needed the ribbing removed and a portion taken out. He not only took his time to make sure each hem was marked perfectly, but he consulted us before making any decisions (he even had us come in for additional conversations before making executive decisions on our clothing). The dresses came out perfect, and we wouldn't have looked nearly as good without him! Thank you guys for your wonderful work, and we will definitely be back soon, in fact--we already have our next dresses lined up. read more

My go-to tailor. William has altered work clothes, suits, prom dresses, etc. for everyone in my family. New Look has even helped me make some creative home projects. He has a great eye, their cost and turnaround are very reasonable, and the work is always beautiful. Can't say enough good things and highly recommend! read more

This review is far overdue. William is a star! He SAVED ME when I needed "last minute"custom tailoring, turning a funky dress into an elegant top for my wedding. He went above and beyond and charged a very fair price for beautiful work. His place is so warm and welcoming. I look forward to returning. Thanks a million, William and staff! read more

William is awesome! Fantastic quality and personable service. I now live in Torrance and will forever have my suits fitted and tailored here. read more

Quick and Dirty: They can get the job done in a hurry if you need it, otherwise, look for a couple day turnaround. Pricing is kind of absurd, so make sure you get it up front... Nitty Gritty: I have brought a lot of items here over the last couple of years in bits and pieces and have generally been satisfied with the results. William has a good eye and the work is done clean. The one thing that irks me is the pricing this place has...it seems things are not necessarily set in stone when it comes to pricing. On top of that, the costs are kind of out of control...just to shorten the sleeve length on a tuxedo shirt, they charged me $30!!! My friend had two shirts done and same day service for $35 somewhere nearby, so def make sure you know what you're in for. read more

My daughter's dress needed to be altered in a day for An event and they did it on time and excellent job!

Fantastic local tailor. William was able to fix my 3 shirts quickly and was honest about what he could offer. He told me he wouldn't charge if I didn't like the service. I expected to pay much more than what he charged me and was very satisfied with the results. I will be taking all my shirts in the future here. Highly recommended. read more

Fantastic tailor! I saw the reviews on yelp and needed four suits tailored ASAP. They were precise with the measurements, got the job done on an expedited basis and were very fair with the pricing. I would absolutely come back with any future work. Highly recommended. read more

Best customer experience I can recall. I've tried 3-5 tailors over the past few years and always found it a frustrating and expensive ordeal--New Look Tailoring was easy and inexpensive. I will be going here for all my tailoring. I brought in two suits, one pair of dress pants, and one pea coat. He did a fantastic job on all of them. Based on previous experiences, I was expecting to pay much more than I was charged. In fact, the price he quoted me was low enough that I didn't even negotiate. Exceptional. read more

Walked into the store to pick up my pants, and they knew who I was without even asking for my name or order number. Pants were hemmed perfectly, all around amazing service and craftsmanship! Above and beyond! Plus the cool calculator museum is fun to peruse. read more

I trusted him with my wedding dress. Need I say more? . . . In case I do, William clearly puts relationships at the basis of his business. He also is an insanely talented tailor who clearly knows what he is doing. He took an intricate, three sizes too big bridesmaid dress and transformed it into the perfect fit. I got so many compliments! From this experience, I took my wedding dress to him for help with some minor alterations. It's scary to leave such an important dress with anyone, but I was confident with William. He lived up to my trust, and they got it back to me in a week - perfect fit. Now it is on me to not gain any weight before the big day!! He also explains the considerations that go into his prices, so feel comfortable asking about that. Dora is also a lovely human, and she made me feel welcome and confident in the business! read more

VERY COVID-19 FRIENDLY and staff wears masks at all times. If you're looking for a great tailor or you've been trying to ditch you're old one, GO HERE! My family has been coming to New Look for 5 years now and we are consistently happy with the work William and his staff has done. They are able to do simple stitches very quickly and well, execute complex alterations, and even fix the unfixable for great prices. My family has gone to many different tailors in the LA area and none have given us the service, care, and attention to detail New Look gives us. We live relatively far away, yet we come here because THEY DO NOT DISAPPOINT! William, his wife, and the rest of the staff are all very friendly and are always upfront about stitches and prices. Not to mention, the shop has a very charming look to it that is not easy to find in the heart of LA. The place is decorated with vintage cameras and decor, postered of old Hollywood stars and films, and much more :) read more

If you're looking for the best tailor in Los Angeles, look no further than William at New Look Tailoring. I took in 8 pieces that either needed to be taken in or completely restructured due to a botched job by a previous tailor, and my clothes look brand new and fit my body PERFECTLY. William is not just a tailor, but really a magician with clothes. He is also so kind and very COVID conscious, always wearing a mask in his shop. His prices are very reasonable too. The shop itself is so charming, and the whole experience is really 10/10 incredible. Highly recommend and will be taking all my clothes in the future only to New Look! Thanks William! read more

I have been using New Look Tailoring for many years and I highly recommend their services. William is always very helpful, and his work is meticulous and prompt. The prices are more than fair. This will always be my go-to tailor on the west side! read more

I thought I had a great tailor until I went to New Look. I live in Torrance and still drive all the way to see William with New Look. The man is so easy going, never ever tries to sell you on anything that you don't like and/or will not benefit from, and is fantastic at his craft. The entire work I have ever received from him and his employees is beyond great. I have gotten 4 suits, 2 shirts, and 3 pairs of pants altered (all w varying needs from hemming, custom tailoring, to tapering). They do it all, and they do it all very well! William is the man! read more

I was so pleased with the work they do here! I had dresses and pants worked on. Beautiful! And they are so kind and friendly. Very grateful for such a solid and reliable place to go! read more
