A bit expensive but great service. I left 3 pants and got them back 2 days later. Also has great experience

My wife had gifted me a new professional wardrobe after I hadn't needed new clothes for couple years thanks to COVID. I needed them to be altered and her stylist suggested this tailor shop. Even though I live in Santa Monica, which is quite a schlep in traffic (an hour each way), I decided to take that advice because I didn't want to ruin good suits. I needed 3 pants hemmed and a handful of jackets taken in because I was between sizes and couldn't get a perfect fit that wasn't too tight or too large. I arrived to a tiny shop with just one employee who kept telling me how busy he was and made me wait, instead of taking a brief break from his work to help me. Finally, instead of listening to my needs, he immediately told me that these jackets are from 10 year-old style (they're brand new from a very trendy shop!) and would need to be completely dismantled and rebuilt at a very high cost apiece. Insisted that what I had come in for wasn't an issue and dismissed my needs. The price I was quoted was very high but since I was leaving on an important work trip and didn't have time to comparison shop, I accepted it as long as they could have the work done before my trip (which was 5 days away). They said they're busy but promised, in writing, that they'd have it done before my trip, knowing I needed many of the items for my trip. Since my wife works closer to the tailor shop and I couldn't afford 2 hours roundtrip in traffic again, she kindly agreed to leave work a little early to pick everything up. She showed up to discover that not only had the work NOT been even STARTED, but the owner and one employee didn't even REMEMBER my job. When she showed them the work slip, they couldn't recall what I needed done, when though I had been there just days before. They even TORE OPEN THE SEAM of one of the jackets to see if they had actually done the work and realized they hadn't!! My wife, frustrated and losing all trust in them, left and they didn't even offer to fix the seam they'd just torn open on a very expensive BRAND NEW SUIT with tags still attached. Now, 5 days later, and after I wasted 3 hours of my life (including 2 in the car) and my wife wasted over an hour of hers, I have multiple items of clothing which STILL need alterations, including one jacket that has an open seam. I wish I had read the reviews on here before wasting so much time and energy to go to this business. They have poor customer service, and do not act in an accountable manner. I expect far more for a high-priced Beverly Hills tailor. They will never get my business. I encourage you to read all their reviews. read more

Excellent job helping me get my suit ready for my buddy's wedding! Very fair price for the quality work.

Best service!! Did such an amazing job on our clothes. Both my husband and I were so happy with the results.

My daughter came into the tailor shop recently for some alterations, and had an experience that made her feel very uncomfortable. The man who does alterations touched her several times in a way that had nothing to do with what was necessary for doing alterations. She was not going to report it, until she saw that another girl had a similar experience, and doesn't want it to happen to another person. When her dress was being pinned on the side, the tailor put his hand under the dress, and ran his hands up and down her thighs, and touched her stomach and breasts. All of which were nowhere near the place where he was pinning the dress. Please stay away from this place and this man. I have counseled her to report this incident to the police, as once there is a police report, at least there is a record of the incident. I hope this never happens to another young woman. read more

Don't ever trust your clothes to this guy. He couldn't even fix a ripped seem in a straight line.

DO NOT GO HERE!! The worst experience of my life!! I called the police and filed a report with Beverly Hills police department after leaving this shop. The tailor put his hands all the way up my dress, stroked my inner thigh, lifted my dress all the way up to catch a peek!! He tried to play it off as that's part of his job! This is ridiculous, I went to another tailor for the same dresses and he didn't even need to touch me to do the work for the hem. I felt so violated, I told him several times he was being inappropriate and making me uncomfortable and he wouldn't stop! I came here on yelp and saw two other reviews that this has happened to. I would hate this to happen to other women. If you are reading this and this has happened to you please file a police report. read more

Richie helped me out yesterday when I had a last minute wardrobe malfunction. I couldn't believe he was opened on Sunday! He was super helpful, and shortened my dress straps right away. He was so so nice, and also inexpensive. I will absolutely be going back! read more

Tailor is very sweet! And they work fast! I got a floor length casual dress taken in on both sides around the waist and the cost was $25.

Do. Not. Go Here. I went to get a long bridesmaid gown hemmed at the bottom. I put on the dress in the dressing room and came out for him (I assume Ritchie) to pin the bottom of the dress at the hem. He reached up my gown and inappropriately stroked my inner upper thighs and brushed along my private area. I immediately asked him what he was doing to which he replied "what?" I turned down his service immediately and left the store. Ladies, I suggest you stay far away from this place. read more

Did a good job on a hem and a fix of a whole in my jeans. Will go back!

I have been going to Richie to tailor my suits for years. He always does a fantastic job. He knows how to look at my body type and tailor the suit to flatter me. For example, any A line skirts he changes to a fitted tapered style because I'm petite and short- it elongates. Any overly flared suit pants he will change to straight leg for me. He's incredible. Best tailor in LA! read more

They botched a patch job on my jeans and when I asked if we could please fix the original job (reasonable request - I even offered to pay the original fee again to have the jeans fixed properly) the owner was extremely rude to me and said among other things "I do not like to work twice." Tight. There are also things I do not like... FOR INSTANCE, BEING INSULTED AS A RESULT OF YOU NOT DOING YOUR JOB PROPERLY. Besides, patches are like tailoring 101. The ONLY reason they get two stars is that he did offer me my money back (which I did not accept... he did not appreciate that either apparently...) read more

Wow, really great service and really great results. Richie and his co-tailor had a challenge when it came to my tailoring and they really met my challenge and did it with a smile, care for fit, and talent. My custom-fitted suit looked amazing and the experience was a great one! read more

I went to Richie's for tailoring about 3 months ago. As a surgeon, I am very picky about the fit of my clothes, and I had received a recommendation from another surgeon, based on his good experience at Richie's. In any case, I was very impressed with Richie. He is hands on and does all the tailoring himself...we worked on an outfit for me, a suit jacket and slacks. He took in the waist, did the sleeves, and even raised the baseline of the jacket as it was too long, which is a big deal to do. The slacks needed to be tailored in at the hips, thighs and the cuff, to give that terrific European look that I like. Richie nailed it! Great place, highly recommend read more

Now, I'm not one to usually bash any establishment I patronize. That being said, this place deserves it. I brought in 2 suits - both of which are over $700. I told Richie I was looking for a fitted look with both suits. He said he knew what I was looking for and they would be ready in a few days. A few days passed and I came back to retrieve my suits. The first suit came out very nice. However, the second suit was way too tight. I realized this a few days later when I went to put it on and couldn't move my arms or sit down without feeling like I was in a strait-jacket. Obviously I went back to Richie with said suit and showed him my problem. He started getting angry, saying that no one has ever brought a suit back and that I should take my business elsewhere. Finally after talking to him for about 15-20 minutes I talked some sense into him and he agreed to fix his mistake (which he also admitted as I was leaving). I came back a few days later and the suit was still too tight. At this point, I couldn't stand being in the guys store so I took to another tailor (Paul's on Pico). When I showed Paul my suit, he said there was little to nothing he could do since Richie had removed most of the fabric inside the suit (meaning he couldn't open the suit up a bit more because Richie cut the fabric out, basically rendering the $700 suit useless). Then he started examining the suit and there were open seams I hadn't even noticed in the armpit of the jacket. I mean really! Open seams! That's the equivalent of going to a surgeon and coming out with an un-stitched open wound. Ok, so maybe that's a bit extreme, but I can't think of another profession where you open and close seams. Anyways, I highly recommend staying away from this place. Unless you like your clothes too tight and open seams. read more

Came to drop off some pants to get hemmed and it was a great experience. Richie was very nice and did a good job with the pants. I also got my shirt fixed since it was too long. I think I got a good deal on prices and service. I will definitely be back to get more clothes altered. read more

I heard good things about Richie's Tailor Shop so I stopped in to have my pants resized. After taking my measurements, he got them back to me in a day and the price was fair. He had me try them on and they fit great. I would definitely recommend this place! read more
