I'm awarding these buffoons a grand total of one star only because Yelp doesn't offer a negative 1…read morestar rating. I know, I know, another totally harsh review, but seriously . . . To summarize: Worst customer service ever from a tailor/alterations service, and this is the one at Hudson's Bay, Victoria BC. Tailor(s) have zero front desk skills (have a difficult time recording basic client information, seem forever confused about basic transactions, etc.). Poor English-speaking skills. Failed to provide receipt. Failed to have dress pants altered (straightforward waist-in alteration) on promised date (1 week between alteration mark-up and delivery date). Difficulty in locating my dress pants when I picked them up, un-altered. Inability to provide a refund for the alterations previously paid for. Tailor/seamstress wanted to engage in some sort of amateurish argument with me when I demanded that she hand over my dress pants to me. Zero alteration management system or process in place; to be honest, it was a delightful surprise that they hadn't actually lost my pants. In short, in all my years of dealing with tailors/alteration service, this is probably the worst-ever experience yet encountered with a tailor/alteration service. Not only will I forever avoid having further alterations at this location, I will dissuade others from patronizing this location. This was a truly painful experience on both occasions (May 7 and May 14, 2016), but even more dreadful given my previous decade's long career in menswear sales. What I'm saying is: I've sold hundreds of suits in my previous menswear career and never once in the thousands of alterations had I even once experienced this level of infantile nonsense. And, in my current profession of wearing a suit for over a decade, again I've never experienced this sort of cow dung. Yes, I am quite cognizant that the tone of my review is bordering on rant, but it's truly rare indeed that one is forced to face such incompetence on a truly staggering level. Oh, and if I've somehow failed to provide my caveat to you, my dear reader, it is this: I would not recommend this business under any circumstances. Ever.

There are businesses that provide a service, and then there are businesses that create an…read moreexperience so exceptional that you find yourself looking forward to the next visit before the current project is even finished. Sew Generously falls firmly into the latter category. From my very first consultation to the final fitting, every aspect of the experience was outstanding. The entire team was welcoming, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about their craft. It was immediately apparent that this was not simply about making clothing - it was about creating garments that reflect the individual wearing them. The level of expertise and attention to detail throughout the process was remarkable. Every recommendation was thoughtful, every question was answered thoroughly, and every fitting demonstrated an incredible commitment to achieving perfection. At no point did I feel rushed. Instead, I felt like I was collaborating with true artisans who cared just as much about the finished product as I did. The suit they created for me exceeded every expectation I had. We designed a classic three-piece suit featuring fuller drape-style trousers and a longer coat inspired by timeless tailoring traditions. The finished result is elegant, distinctive, comfortable, and exceptionally well-balanced. The fit is unlike anything I have experienced from off-the-rack clothing, and every detail reflects the skill and craftsmanship that went into its creation. The fabric itself deserves special recognition. I selected a featherweight flannel that is simply extraordinary. It has a beautiful drape, incredible comfort, and a luxurious feel while remaining versatile enough to wear throughout much of the year. The way the fabric moves and complements the overall design is something that can only truly be appreciated in person. Equally impressive was the custom dress shirt they created for me. The fit is absolutely flawless, the construction is exceptional, and it is easily one of the finest and most comfortable dress shirts I have ever worn. It pairs perfectly with the suit and serves as another example of the attention to detail and commitment to quality that defines Sew Generously. What impressed me most, however, was how personal the entire experience felt. The team took the time to understand not only my measurements, but also my preferences, my style, and how I wanted the finished garment to look and feel. The result was not just a suit and shirt, it was clothing that felt uniquely mine. In an era where so much of the world has shifted toward mass production and convenience, Sew Generously offers something increasingly rare: genuine craftsmanship, exceptional service, and a level of care that is difficult to find anywhere else. I am genuinely grateful to have found Sew Generously. They have earned a customer for life. In fact, I am already planning my next suit, and my wife and I will be returning this summer to begin designing a custom winter overcoat for her so it will be ready when the colder weather arrives. To the entire Sew Generously team: thank you for creating not only the finest suit and dress shirt I have ever owned, but also one of the most enjoyable and rewarding customer experiences I have had anywhere. I look forward to many years - and many garments - to come.

The initial scheduling and consultation went great. However, when I went in for my first fitting,…read morethe suit was 3-4 sizes too large. It was comically large on me. For the second fitting the suit was still 1-2 sizes too large. They then let me know that unfortunately there was not enough time to do another round of alterations before the wedding. So all the wedding photos are of me in a ill fitting suit. Was the suit terrible? No. But, did it fit? Also no. After the wedding they offered to do yet another set of alterations, this time with a different attendant, who did a much better job on making the suit fit. Photos are of the arms to show how much extra fabric there was after they did alterations, compared to the final suit I got post wedding.

I needed new business clothing now that we are starting to see clients in person again at my company and I reached out to Jeff after several recommendations from some of his current and past clients that I know. Jeff was able to meet me at my office and take the measurements needed and recommend some styles and fabrics as well as color combinations for me. The items came exactly in the time frame he had estimated them to and they looked fantastic. I cannot recommend Jeff and My Haberdasher enough. If you're in need of a haberdasher for work or a special occasion I would highly recommend My Haberdasher and Mr. Collins!

I can't say enough good things about Jeff and his attention to the details. I held off on reviewing…read moreuntil I got it pictures back from my wedding. I wound up changing a handful of small details such as the shirt I was wearing as our venue decorations changed so this isn't 100% the suit I got. Jeff's attention to detail though was fantastic and my changes certainly don't reflect on him or the quality of this suit which is impeccable. I spoke with a few bespoke suit places and Jeff just got my style the best. While other suits were beautiful, I think the small details Jeff payed attention to and some of his designs for the more modern person. Pockets for days! Jeff was super friendly, accommodating and helpful. My lady requested a swatch of fabric to help tie together the Father's and best man's suit with mine and he was able to accommodate. All in all...I highly suggest giving Jeff a try. He was great and look forward to the next one.
