Unfinished work.Did not trim off extra fabric after tailoring.

Save you money and effort. The shop owner is unprofessional, unskilled, and arrogant. His work matches his professionalism. When I brought my uniform items back to show him the sloppy work, he yelled at me and screamed me he's been sewing for 34 years. He then yanked uniform pants off my hanger. Wow. I walked out. The owner has deplorable manners, no people skills, anger management issues, and ridiculous business skills. I paid $61 for this sloppy tailoring and will have to have it redone by someone competent. The only reliable aspect was all this sloppy work was done quickly. If you want an expensive job with sub-standard tailoring, like being screamed at, bring your items here. The owner will do an excellent job at making you feel . like you wasted your money/time and you enjoy being treated badly because of his poor work. Hummmm.....an empty business, with the owner doing all the sewing with no professional tailors working for him??? That should have been a clue.

Extra material under the tape
RJ B.

My initial communication with the owners was great. I dropped my items off and they gave me quick turnaround time. When I went to pick up my items, however, I was not impressed. My tapes are not even and when I asked about them being fixed I was told that Air Force is all one word, said together, so it was fine how they made the tapes. He wasn't willing to work with me at all or offer to fix the issue. My tape with my name also has the letters unevenly spaced and has extra material that's folded under and I can't even wear the tapes as they're set up now. Very disappointed and now I'm out $37 for a uniform I can't even wear.

This is what the owner made and put onto my military jacket. He argued that nothing was wrong. The "M" is clearly not lined up.

Do not use this place for any alterations or for their service!! I came in to get some name tags made and sewn on to my military uniforms. As I went to pick them up I immediately noticed that the US Army name tag that was made looked wrong. The "M" in Army is not lined up, as I made this known to the owner and asked that it get fixed he decided to argue with me and get defensive telling me that it only looks wrong because they are my uniforms and I am looking at them too much. He then continued to tell me that anyone else that looks at my uniform will notice that it says US Army and that nothing looks wrong. I pointed it out and he stuck with what he first said and that it was just because they were my uniforms that I notice something wrong that is not wrong. I told him that I will go ask a few people if they notice anything wrong with the name tag on my uniform and let him know what is said then. After that he began to raise his voice and get more defensive. He informed me that if that happens then bring it back and he will fix it! Save your time, save your money, do not go here unless you want bad service and to deal with an owner that refuses to agree with a mistake and not even offer to fix it the right way.

See all

Quick turn around on uniforms and if you need new stripes or badges they can switch it for you for FREE if they have them in stock.

Mario's Tailors - My tailored suit

Mario's Tailors

(51 reviews)

Arroyo Chico

I entrusted Mario with altering my suit, making it clear that I needed it completed within two…read moreweeks. He agreed. When he quoted me a price, I joked about it being high but assured him I would pay what he asked. One week later, Mario called to ask if I still wanted the alterations--something that should have already been in progress. I confirmed and reminded him he had only three days left before my event. He reassured me he could finish it in just one day. What I received was an unprofessional and careless attempt at tailoring. The jacket was altered in a way that caused the back to curl awkwardly. The pants were taken in so excessively that they resembled skinny trousers, with one leg inexplicably wider than the other. During our conversation, Mario mentioned that he was leaving his position to start teaching tailoring. It's unfortunate that he will be passing on such poor craftsmanship, lack of professionalism, and disregard for commitments. Despite paying what he charged, the quality of work wasn't even close to what was promised or deserved. I attempted to reach out multiple times to give Mario a chance to correct his mistakes, but he has ignored my calls and voicemails. This experience was amateurish, disappointing, and completely unacceptable. I would never return, nor would I recommend Mario's tailor shop to anyone. Patético

Hands down, the nicest and most skillful tailor I've found in Tucson (ask him about his story)…read more Wonderful craftsmanship. I've taken all my suits and several pairs of pants to Mario to have them altered, and he's always done great work. Good prices... on par with small private tailors. PLAN AHEAD. He gets a lot of work, and it's difficult to have a quick turnaround. On the rare occasion I've needed something on a short timeframe, he's called other customers to adjust their timing so that he could fit me in. 100% customer satisfaction guaranteed.

They did such great work and were so reasonably priced that I knew I was not going to have an easy time replacing them. So I researched through Yelp. (As a Yelper, it only made sense!) I decided on Stitch Wiz in the Berkshire Plaza at Broadway and Camino Seco. Finding the shop was a bit difficult, but part of that was operator error (mine). The shop's name was over a side area and I walked the whole length of it, not finding the shop. So I called and the owner came out to find me. How embarrassing - the store was right in front of my parking space! I brought in a dress that I loved the top half of. It has pleats and fancy stitching and I loved the cinched waist. What I wanted was to have the skirt (which was losing its hem anyway), to be cut off and hemmed a few inches below the waist. I picked it up today and it was perfect. I now have a gorgeous top with a peplum bottom. The price was fair and I am happy to have found my new alterations shop.

Wahdat had been working with me for over 20 years, and the work was always perfect. Sencha Lee, the owner of Stitch Wiz, is a very competent tailor. She does a lot of wedding dress work, proms and formals. She takes pride in her work and she charges fairly. She has shortened shirt sleeves (less than 20 dollars) and worked on some basic custom things for me...She delivers when she says she will and the quality is there. I highly recommend this establishment.
