recommended, very quick service ready within 1 week. I was able to get my bridesmaids dress tailored PERFECTLY. She is very kind and she knows what she's doing. Will be coming back in the future. Very happy with my service 5/5 for quality, time, price, & customer service. read more

I'd like to recommend Kim to all the people who needs an alteration service. Our experience has an abruptive start but happy ending. I sent three pants here about 2 months ago, but my husband found out Kim forgot to do the work as there was no mark on pants when he went to pick them up. This week I had a long shirt need to be hemmed and I want to give a second try with Quick fit as there are so many good reviews. I brought the three pants together with my shirt. I mentioned the unhappy experience last time. Kim immediately said I couldn't remember, but I'd like to offer free service this time based on what you told me. I didn't expect that! It turns out Kim did a great job this time. The work is neat and she is so reliable. I also saw her cute little granddaughter in the store who talked to everyone. I want everyone to support this family run small business. You can trust Kim since she knows how to do her work and she cares about her customers. I will let her do all my alteration work later. read more

Good tailor with reasonable prices. I had a suit adjusted for a perfect fit. I am very satisfied with the service.

Perfect alterations were made to my two jacket and dress shirt! Thank you! The seamstress took my measurements and finished the product within the time she stated. read more

I come by whenever I need my pants or shirt tailored and they do a really great job here. One time I didn't like the results as the shirt was still a little loose to my liking. I asked them if they could readjust it and they did it at no additional cost. 5/5 read more

Joseph was kind, fast, and very communicating. I sent in 3 pieces of clothing and they all came out fitting VERY nice. I will be back!

Monsieur Tran is one of the few first class haute couture left. Today I almost went crazy when I couldn't find his shop; the building was demolished and he had moved. Luckily and thanks to the power of Yelp, I found his new location. This man knows his craft very well, gives sound advise, and does outstanding work. He has never ruined any of my suits and has me looking sharp every time. He can custom tailor suits, dresses, shirts, etc. Take your old baggy jeans and he'll make them skinny for you. First impressions last, make sure you always look good in a suit and go see Monsieur Tran. read more

Quick Fit Tailor - Monsieur Tran at work. - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Arcadia, California

I got 3 pairs of pants hemmed and Joseph provided reasonable prices and excellent service.

Needed a last minute alteration for my daughter's homecoming dress. Brought it in on Wednesday close to closing time and it was ready by Friday at noon. Appreciated her quick turn around time! read more

Came here after reading the stellar reviews. I was satisfied by the quality of the work, and I would definitely come back if I needed small touch ups. PARKING: Street. Travel southbound on 1st if you can because the shop is kind of hard to see. SERVICE: I had a leather jacket (Fluxuss) and a skirt that needed some repair. The leather jacket has a huge rip in it (I got it from the $20 bin, otherwise it would have been around $500). He repaired the rip without an issue, and though the seams are visible, you wouldn't be able to notice that it was a repair. The skirt was a simple zipper repair where the zipper had become detached from the fabric of the skirt. I don't think I would take pants or jeans here due to the other reviews, but simple alterations are great. Prices are reasonable ($13 for the jacket repair and $7 for the skirt). Bonus points for accepting credit cards! read more

I bought a pair of pants on 10/14/23, and I noticed that one of the legs was significantly longer than the other one. I decided to buy it any way, because the store gave me a nice discount on it. I took it to an alterations store in Monrovia and the owner quoted a price of $8 to shorten the ONE leg. Unfortunately, he was not able to have the pants ready until 10/18, and I needed them by 10/17. So, I went to Quick Fit Tailor and they quoted a price of $15 to shorten ONE leg! I told the owner that I had just gotten a quote from an alterations place in Monrovia for $8, BUT SHE REFUSED TO BUDGE ON THE PRICE! I asked her if she could at least come down on the price a bit, but she wouldn't budge!! I couldn't believe her stubbornness! As a first time customer to this place, you would think that she would do everything in her power to make me a regular customer, but SHE DIDN'T CARE! And she had the nerve to tell me I could look for another place if I didn't like her price!! She had a TERRIBLE ATTITUDE!! I left my pants there because I was pressed for time, but I will NEVER GO BACK! Any place that doesn't care enough about me as a customer doesn't deserve my business!! read more

I went to get a bridesmaid dress altered and Joseph was so fast! I needed the bottom hemmed at least two inches including the lining underneath as it was two layers, and the straps needed to be shortened and adjusted. The total came out to $47 which I thought was reasonable for all the work that needed to be done. He was also able to get it done within a week! I didn't need it done right away, but Joseph wanted to get it to me as soon as possible even though I could tell he was busy. Joseph was super nice and honest. He will tell you what you should get altered and what you shouldn't. I will definitely go back to him! Next will be my wedding dress for alternations. read more

Been going to Mr. Tran for many years. I first went to him when he was located in the Santa Anita mall. He's a professional and knowledgeable tailor. read more

Got my bridesmaid dress hemmed and bust brought in here and will definitely be back! Quality work and he was able to work quickly and at a great price. Thank you!!! read more

Joseph did such amazing work for a great price with very little time. He fixed my daughter dress and it was seamless work. Truly artistic and absolutely beautiful. I will definitely be back! read more

Joseph was nice, accommodating and quick with his service. He helped fix two costumes that none of the other local tailors would touch, and they came out perfect. Reasonable prices too. I'll be back. read more

I needed a suit completely tailored...I bought it 7 years and about 20 lbs. ago...I love the suit and wasn't really in the business of buying a new one. I live in the area, checked out the reviews and figured, why not? I dropped it off on a Friday and needed it that following Tuesday for a very big meeting with my company...as you can imagine I was a little nervous allowing this thing to go down to the wire but---procrastinate I did. I picked up the suit on Tuesday evening, and to my delight it was perfect! My standard cut suit was now a sharp slim fit! I was feeling and looking amazing leaving the store and got several compliments at the meeting the next day. Not only was the suit perfect the price could not have been any better! I have already recommended this place to a few of my colleagues and brought another pair of pants by the following week! read more

I loved the work Joseph did on tailoring. He passed away and his wife took over. His wife also does an excellent job, but THE PLACE SMELLS TERRIBLE. (like a pine sol diaper bucket) Please do something about the stench!! This place does a wonderful (5 star) job on tailoring but I cannot be in the place without holding my nose. If the smell problem is solved, I will gladly change my rating to 5 stars!!! read more

I brought my suit jacket and two pants here to get hemmed and slimmed. The tailor just eyeballed the sides of my suit / my pants and was able to fit me in less than a few minutes. I was a little scared that he would get it wrong but when I picked it up today I was pleasantly surprised that everything fit perfectly! Most people can't get my measurements correct but he was amazing. I'm definitely bringing everything to him from now on! He also does women's clothing/dresses. read more

Joseph is the best! He is a excellent tailor and does alterations with great attention to detail. His prices are very reasonable and he ensures that when he tells you that your alterations will be ready at a certain date and time, you can be sure they will be there waiting for you. He has a very kind and friendly personality and does amazing work. I would nt go anywhere else! read more

Mr. Tran is very professional! I brought my suit to have the pants and the sleeves hemmed. He was able to finish it in 3 days! He is both quick and talented. I am very happy with the results. On top of his skills, his prices were very reasonable. I've called around to many tailors in the area and his prices are very competitive! read more

He does great work and is EXTREMELY honest. Lol, maybe too honest, but if you aren't a very sensitive person and can take things lightly then pay him a visit. I've gone to him quite a few times. His pricing is reasonable and he gets things done quickly. I remember going in my first time and he was helping out a previous customer that was trying on pants that he had taken out. He came out of the dressing room and when the tailor asked if he was happy with the work, the customer said, "hmm... yeah. Do you think you can take them out just a little more?" And the tailor said "No! Just eat more vegetables." LOL. And then I went in to see if he could patch a tiny hole in my workout leggings. He told me he wouldn't do that because I'd look stupid wearing leggings with an obvious patch in them LOL. He really means well and isn't trying to be rude, just being very honest and trying to save you money :-) read more

It's kind of a shame that if you yelp "Tailor," this shop doesn't show up. I have been coming here for years and have taken suits, working pants, higher end jeans and work shirts here. I have been here approximately 8-10 times throughout the years and I keep going back because Mr. Tran's work has always been good and it's so much cheaper than going to Nordstrom or something. If you are looking for a good mom and pop shop that does good work, I would give this place a shot. If it's too far from you and you live closer to San Gabriel/Temple City, Formosa Cleaners does good work from my experience. Now, if you're still reading, I'd like to take the rest of this review to address the obnoxious and 'nose in the air' review that Puccini wrote. I would encourage you guys to read her review but ask these questions: 1. Did she actually have anything done, or was it just a big venting session? Answer: It doesn't seem like they did, from what I can tell. It was just complaining that the shop wasn't fancy enough. 2. Why did she list prices of her things? Why does it even matter how much your stuff cost? If the answer is that she was trying to say Mr. Tran hasn't dealt with high end stuff, 2 of my shirts Mr. Tran worked on costs more than what Puccini has listed. So he has. Since Puccini's review is oozing with phoniness, my suspicion is Puccini just wants to be a snob. 3. Since she attacked other yelpers as not knowing what they are talking about, and asking them to check other yelpers reviews of the type of places they visit and review, basically accusing people of being low brow based on the places they visit, I encourage you to check hers. Look at her ratings. She more or less is a troll using one star reviews to bash businesses if it wasn't perfect. Yes a "lifestyle emerges" from reading a person's other reviews, and hers seems to be a 1 star troll. At the time of writing, she has 11 out of 23 reviews that have received 1 star. This means that about half of all of her reviews are 1 star. Wow, she must be the unluckiest person in the world getting that much bad service all over the place! 4. Why does it even matter what kind of clothes is in his shop? She takes a dig at the clothing of other people in his shop, using it as a basis to say it's not good enough for her (describing it as 'low-end, dime store clothing). So what? Do you have to wear those clothes? I'm not sure if you know this, but you are in the suburbs of the San Gabriel Valley. If you don't want to support small mom and pop shops, don't. But please check your snobby bs at the door; control some expectations. If everything you are so desperately trying to convey about your financial status in your review is true, and you think these honest mom and pop shops arn't shiny enough for you, why don't you go elsewhere? I remind you, she hasn't actually had anything done there. How can she spout out a review like that, being so adamant that this isn't a good business? If your grip is with the french couture label another yelper used, why don't you keep your criticisms to that, instead of taking unnecessary shots at the business, the owner and other patrons of the business. It's true, Mr. Tran is an older guy who may be rougher around the edges, but the work is good, the prices are fair, and unlike Puccini, the shop isn't trying to pretend to be something it's not. read more

Awesome little full service tailor shop located in old town area of Arcadia. The owner use to have a little tailor shop located in the Santa Anita mall years ago and still provides the same friendly small town services and best tailoring skills in the area. He also does tailoring for Macy's so you may have met him before if you've had tailoring done at the Arcadia Macy's. Very friendly, knowledgeable and fast service. Plenty of parking on street and convenient. read more

One man Rambo! I've had tailoring done all over the place - from chains like banana or nordstrom to mom and pop cleaners and everything else in and out of that. I've had lots of bad tailoring jobs too (uneven, loose seams, etc.). This guy had been my go to guy for years now. Consistent, hard-working, diligent, funny, and offers good suggestions. Prices are reasonable for what you get. read more

Based on a prior review by Kahloy C, in which he mentioned that this is a "first class haute couture" tailor, I stopped by today with some high-end items. Because my items are so expensive, I wanted to first stop by to meet the tailor, get a sense of the shop and its cleanliness, and most importantly get a read on the man himself. "Couture" tailors are neat, tidy people - always perfectly polite and unflappable; this attitude is usually reflected in the perfection of their seams. I brought in 3 items: an Escada oversized bag (retail ~$1,200), a Moschino skirt (this is not the Cheap 'N Chic diffusion line, but the actual Moschino, so retail about $600), and a TSE skirt ($200). The bag has some white leather edging that was showing wear, so I wanted the edge replaced. The tailor kept asking "what fabric is that?" about the bag, and when I told him it was leather he said he didn't sew leather. Interesting, since couture clothing often have leather designs that high-end tailors usually deal with, and he clearly has not had to "deal with" such items. Also interesting that he couldn't tell that it was real leather - I can tell an expensive leather bag from a mile away. On to the next item, the simple TSE skirt. It was a simple straight skirt with no lining. He quoted $12 to take in the sides, and $12 to shorten the hem. This is not cheap, given that the shop is very very modest (in both location and presentation); I have had the same price at most average tailors in Pasadena. For the Moschino skirt (a straight simple wool skirt with lining), he quoted $16 to take in the sides and $19 to shorten the skirt. Again, this is average market pricing for below-average work. I then asked him about the simple TSE skirt: would the alterations be noticeable? I already knew the correct answer: it should have been "absolutely not!" because it was the most simple of hems and even an average tailor would have no trouble promising virtually perfect work. Instead, Tran said, "It's not going to be exactly the same! NO ONE can make it exactly the same!" Excuse me, but I'm pretty exacting about my clothes, and countless mid-range tailors have shortened almost identical hems for my skirts with virtually NO sign of the alteration. I didn't say anything, but I must have looked shocked. Tran then said,"where is your tailor? Where is your regular tailor?" in a nasty tone. It's none of your damn business, sir. Tran then said, "You should take it to your regular tailor!" as if I couldn't possibly find someone who could make a perfect alteration. Then, the best part: throughout our entire 5-10 minute conversation there is stuff falling out of his mouth; he was chewing nuts or something gross and white and it kept falling out of his mouth and I was pretending to not notice that he was spewing bits at me every so often. Then a piece fell out and hit my skirt! I jumped back and literally ran out of there. Regarding the previous review that brought me in to the shop by reviewer Kahloy. I should have heeded the warning bells I heard when I read it, because usually someone who uses high-end tailors has excellent grammar; when I look at their other reviews I can see that they visit high-end establishments in LA, so a lifestyle emerges of that person. In this case, there was poor grammar in the review (it's "advice," not "advise," buddy - now go edit your review!) and he seems to frequent low-end (mostly Vietnamese) eating establishments. And to top it all off, based on Kahloy's photo, he looks exactly like the tailor Tran. So much for the "objectivity" of Yelp reviews. I also noticed the kind of clothing that was being worked on in the shop. All low-end, dime-store clothing. Mr Tran is not a "Monsieur Tran" by any stretch of the imagination (i.e., a French couturier of any caliber), and his son should not be writing reviews for pop. read more

I've used Joseph for my tailoring over many times at this point. Over time, my opinion of his work has basically gotten better and better with each visit, to the point of revising my old review from 4 to 5 stars. - His prices are very reasonable/competitive. Also, for the amount of value you potentially get from rescuing clothes out of the grave with good workmanship, it's even more worth it. - He is professional and communicative. This is really important to me. - He takes credit card. - He has decent store hours. I'd say my only complaint is the excessive old spice smell in his store. Tip: If you're driving from the southwest, like me (e.g. from San Gabriel / Alhambra / etc.), take Huntington/Campus instead of Duarte. It's significantly faster. read more

He's tailored my suit jackets, blue jeans, suits and dress slacks. I recommend him. I've taken Jones of New York Suits, Seven for all Mankind jeans here. He did fine work on all the items I've taken in. read more

Quick tips! 1. This is a very small and unassuming store with not a large store front. There is a small waiting area! 2. Mr. Tran works very quickly, if you need some shirts or something or another taken in, he can sometimes do same day alterations. 3. If you arrive while he's with another customer, you will probably have to wait til he's finished. Mr. Tran has been working in tailoring for a few decades. He started out in Los Angeles and eventually moved his business to Arcadia. I was in a rush to get my suit altered in time for a big dinner event. I asked him how long it would take to alter a pair of pants and he told me it would be ready in two days. I arrived on the day of my pickup and was able to observe his interaction with another customer. The other customer was a guy getting a bunch of shirts taken in. The guy tried on each shirt and made comments about the fit of each one of the shirts. Mr. Tran took note of each one and made quick modifications to suit the guy. Almost every shirt that he had altered was already perfect and fit the guy really well. What impressed me was that the guy wanted a tighter fit on one shirt and Mr. Tran expertly took about ten minutes to fix it and it looked great on the guy. As for myself, my pants were tailored expertly and they looked great. The fit was perfect and the height that he suggested with my shoes was great. It is clear that his experience is shown in his work. The price was reasonable at $10 for the suit pants. He also does dress alteration. I am pretty sure he will be replacing our old tailors as I am planning to take most of my shirts to him to fit them properly! read more

My husband purchased a brand new Hugo Boss suit and went here to get it taken in on the jacket and shorten the sleeves (for a more modern, tailored look). BIG MISTAKE-- the results looked horrible (he made the jacket look like a women's coat!) My husband went back to get it "fixed" but Mr. Tran made it worse. It was a complete waste of a beautiful Hugo Boss suit (the suit cost quite a bit of $$$$$$). Learn from us and don't go here for big jobs. You'll regret it. read more

I had a pants zipper emergency and he took care of me right away! I called several other tailors in the area and they all said "No." His help was definitely appreciated and I'll tell anyone who asks, go to Quick Fit. read more

Was recommended to come here from a few people. Street parking. Service is quick and to the point. Get in and get out. I wanted them to tailor my 42 suit to fit as a slim 40. They took all my measurements and said it would be ready in a week. I was skeptical because the total cost was $100 to tailor but it was my favorite suit that I only got to wear once before it did not fit anymore. But I was very happy when I picked it up. It fit perfectly to my body like a custom made suit. I was a very satisfied customer and would come back. read more

I would recommend this tailor to anyone that needs to get their clothes hemmed! I took a pretty expensive suit that my Dad used to wear to have the sleeves shortened a tad. The cost was very reasonable and he was able to get it back to me in time for a wedding that I was invited to. He has done some of my other blazers as well. All primo jobs! read more

We bought our son his first suit for senior portraits off the rack and needed alterations quickly. Called a couple of tailors and all said it would be 2-3 weeks. I called Quick Fit Tailor and told him what we needed done. He said not a problem come in and I will fit him and have it done in a few days. Went in that same day, he fitted my sons suit and also took the time to explain the proper lengths for coats and pants. Told me to come back 3 days later. Suit fit perfect! Looks like we found our new tailor! read more

Did an amazing job reconstructing my suit. Perfect fit.

Good tailor! Can't understand what he is saying but after an hour of explaining to him what I want he got it. Does great work and on time. Recommend highly read more

I've been coming here for years now and I can always trust Joseph to do a great job. My mom and sister also come here whenever they need something tailored. I come here to tailor my suits, jeans, denim jackets, dress shirts, and more. After you tell him how you want your clothes tailored, he will have you try them on. Then, he will visually show you what he will do so you know exactly how your clothes will be tailored. Turn around time is pretty quick. I can usually drop off 1-2 items and get it back within a few days. Longest I've had to wait for something was 1 week, but I dropped off 2 jackets, a suit, and a pair of jeans, so that was very reasonable. Highly recommend this place for all your tailoring needs. read more

Mr. Tran is awesome. Funny guy and will honestly tell you what he can and cannot do. I've dropped off shirts/pants and suits and have been completely satisfied each time. read more

Reasonable price for good work. I've had dress pants, jeans, and khaki's altered here and they came out fine. Be sure you double check what you want with the man before u leave read more
