I have been looking for a tailor for the last two weeks to get a pair of pants hemmed and my procrastinating got the best of me. Even though there are places closer to me, I came here because of the reviews and Eddie did not disappoint. I thought I would have to leave my pants for a day or two but when I said that I needed them for a wedding in two days, he told me to have a seat and he'd have it ready in ten minutes!!! Eddie delivers quality work at a fair price. read more

I saw the reviews on yelp but they didnt post the prices so I decided to give it a try. Brought in a bcbg shirt that was too big and paid $20 for it. The shirt fits me ok now. But it doesnt flatter my body or anything. I brought a different shirt to another tailor in irving and they quoted me $7. Ill come again next time to try out the hemming. Definitely not w/ a shirt again. read more

Been going here for about a year now. Eddie has been awesome helping me with my selvedge denim. Brought two pairs in for him to alter. Also brought in suits and pants. Came out great every time! read more

I brought a couple of high end suits here after reading the reviews. Eddie did a great job on them for a very reasonable amount, at least compared to the fees charged by other tailors I've gone to for similar work. He did everything in a timely manner, and he was super nice at all times. I'm not sure what other reviews have complained about, but for some people, you just can't satisfy them no matter how good of a job is done. The only thing I'd advise is calling ahead of time to make sure he's there when you're planning to go in or pick up your stuff. read more

pleated pants are tough. they aren't the in thing anymore. modern pants. it takes some talent to make it look good. i'll admit. i was skeptical. i've been to three tailors in the city now, and have thought they were all over-priced, or did a poor job. not like my spot down in San Diego (Ann's Alterations) according to the reviews, this guy works at nordstorms, so i thought i'd give it a try. he's a nice guy, but throughout the fitting of it, i will admit i was skepticial. i dont usually trust places unless they pin up your clothes so you can see what it would look like. This guy took out a piece of chalk and marked it up in a few seconds. I was hesitant to give him my pants, but i really had no other option. I decided to roll the dice and leave em with him. I'm glad that I did, because the pants turned out perfect. Since I've only been her once, I cant say it'll always be like this, but for the time being he deserves the 4 stars, and I will definitely give him another try. read more

Eddie is simply the best. A friend recommended him when I wanted to get my wedding gown altered and not pay a ton. Eddie did such a fantastic job for a ridiculously low cost and in a short amount of time. I couldn't have asked for me. And when I quickly lost some weight between fittings (making the final dress fit a little lose) Eddie took it in once more to a perfect fit, insisting that I pay nothing more for the extra work, even though he was now taking in parts that did not even need altering before. You can't get better service than that. Eddie is high class and highly recommended. read more

I had never altered jeans before, so I was extremely apprehensive about just picking a place out of the blue. Hence, the beauty of Yelp! I read a number of reviews for alterations and took a chance on Taraval Tailors....it was so worth it! I had two pairs of Hudson jeans and asked for original hem....Extremely professional, very reasonable prices, and best of all....did a fantastic job and got them back in one day! read more

I used to hesitate to get garments altered. But it's always an enjoyable experience to visit Eddie. He's skilled, quick, reliable, friendly, and well-priced -- everything I'd want in a tailor. He's mostly tapered and hemmed pants for me (including adding a slanted 2" cuff, which difficult to do), but also altered shirts, sport coats, and a tux. read more

I took a bridesmaid dress there to alter that was 3-4 sizes too big. Eddie was quite confident that he could alter it down to fit me. The first time I went, he assured me he would take enough down on each side of the dress. He seemed confident that he knew what to do and didn't really pin the sides down too well. I was a little worried, but he just kept saying don't worry it will fit well. Six days later I went again to try the dress on, he kept saying it fit well, but I told him I wanted him to take it in even more off the sides. He pinned it again, but I told him I wanted to take it in even more as the dress should be snug throughout the hips/thigh...but he told me he couldn't take it in anymore as the dress wouldn't look right. Again, he assured me it would fit and not to worry. Long story short, I'm sure he does good work, but not so much with formal wear especially if the dress is too big and needs some extra work to alter. He was not willing to take in areas that I asked him too, he just said it wouldn't work. In the end, I paid the $120 (YES OUTRAGEOUS PRICE) and I brought the dress to someone else who agreed with me that the dress could be taken in even more. She helped me with a last minute alteration and the dress fit perfectly. Needless to say, I will not be returning to Taraval Tailors. Also, always call ahead of time if you plan on going, seems like he closes early often without any notice. read more

Eddie is awesome! I was heading out of town for the week and really wanted to bring this super cute maxi dress I had bought for months and months but never had it altered. Given my obvious laziness, I've even worn it a few times though it was dragging all over the floor. Horrendous, I know. Anyways, I knew Taraval Tailors was about to close for the day, but I decided to call them up anyways to see if they'll still take me a little after closing. Eddie picked up and kindly told me that he'll stay open for me til whenever I get there. He knew I was going to come, but didn't even tell me by what time nor did he ask me to rush. What if I decided to just pull a no-show and end up wasting his time? Of course I didn't though. I ended up getting there about 15-20 minutes after they had closed and Eddie kindly let me in. How great was that?! What's even better? He knew I wanted to bring the dress with me over the weekend and so he worked on it right away and I ended up picking up the dress the following day, first thing in the morning. Quick turn-around. Extremely friendly. Great jobs. Very reasonable prices. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my alterations other than Eddie. read more

Eddie is amazing. He helped me out with a dress that needed to be fixed overnight. It needed to not just be taken in but completely re-designed in a few places. He just knew what to do. It looked and fit great! And the price was right. Lifesaver. read more

So, I just want to point out something and I don't know if this comment will be helpful for anyone but I do feel like it's important to jot my experience down. I know other people have had amazing experiences and that's obviously great. There are a ton of places I've had great experiences in and I'm super grateful for that. Anyway, I don't want to get off topic. So the reason I came to this place was because I saw how many great reviews there were and I wanted my clothes tightened: I get there and explain what I wanted tightened etc. Now, I just want to say, this person was talking to me in a calm way, however... after giving me a consultation he told me the prices in a way that came off as if I couldn't afford it. Mind you... I wasn't dressed up, I was wearing my casual sweats on a Saturday just cruising by but to tell me that it would cost me $20 (which I was more than fine with) but he wasn't sure I would want to do it-given the fact that he told me it was "too expensive" it completely turned me off. I ended up going to a place that charged me $38 dollars and I took that instead only because they treated me with %100 respect and made me feel like I was worthy of their time. They were so patient with me and understanding. All in all, my whole point is this experience reminded me of that one movie Pretty Woman... where she walks in and is judged just automatically by two snooty employees. Don't judge a book by its cover. That's all I'm gonna end it with. read more

Eddie isn't friendly or trustworthy. My experience here will have me never ever coming back. I rented a suit online and brought it here to have it hemmed and tailored without cutting the fabric. When I walked into his store and told him, he said he couldn't get it done then changes his mind.... As soon as Eddie heard it was a rental and that the rental company would cover the costs he jacked up the price to $80. He even broke (or switched) the horizontal bar on the rental hanger and tried to give me a different hanger and expected me not to notice. When he measured me for the suit sleeve hemming, I told him I wanted the white shirt underneath to show, when I went to pick it up it didn't show and he has a different customer waiting, he tells me it's perfect. Since I'm being pressured by him to just accept it, I just grudgingly say okay and take it. After the event was over and I brought the suit back to him to have him undo his tailoring he tries to charge me an extra $20 and only stopped when i yelled "you never told me that!" It's a good sunset location, but save yourself the headache. read more

They quickly fixed my dress strap and bought the part needed to fix it. I'm really happy and they were very friendly. Thanks!

Eddie the man has never let me down on getting my true religion alter from a bootcut to slim fit! Eddie did the impossible with making the pants look original! I got my pants done in less than 2 hours. Very kind and knowledgeable. I also had my dress shirt alter as well for around $35. Expect dress shirts to take a couple days to complete depending on what needs to change to make it fitted nicely. His store only has one extra employee to help him so don't always expect last minute alteration to be completed in a day. read more

I recently discovered this gem of a tailor and I couldn't be more pleased!!!! I am petite (5 ft 3 in) and even though I purchase petite clothing, somehow, the sleeves of all the suits I buy seem too long. Argh! However, now I just take my newly purchased jackets to Taraval Tailors and for $30 (totally reasonable!) they shorten the sleeves to make it look as if the jacket was made for me. In addition, I found an old skirt in my closet that I really love, but, was WAY too big for me ... I was about to Goodwill the skirt, but, instead, took it to Taraval Tailors to be altered, and again like magic ... Taraval Tailors basically (somehow!) turned a size 6-ish skirt into a size 2... amazing. As long as Taraval Tailors is around, I'll never go anywhere else. Top notch work! read more

Eddie is a great tailor and my go-to man anytime I get in new clothing that fits less than perfect. I've had Eddie tailor the following items: Blazers/Jackets -- Tailors them well, adjusts sleeve length to just right, also takes in sides to give it a fitting shape. Great results. Pants -- The only place I trust to hem my raw denim and taper the leg. He's able to take fabric from the non-selvedge side and taper without losing the selvedge details, and the jeans look a lot better fitting properly. Shirts -- He will adjust the sides and sleeves and make a baggy, traditional-fit shirt into a modern slim fit with no trouble. When you go to Eddie, know what you want -- you might want to read style blogs or other information online on the type of pant breaks or other tailoring you can get. Eddie will do what you ask him to, and he's a tailor not a stylist, so have your mind made up before you come in. read more

My uncle was a tailor from the old country. In the front window of his shop was a small sign which read: "The important difference between the journeyman and beginner shows up shortly after something goes wrong". I picked up a jacket, vest and pair of pants from Eddie at Taravel Tailors. Linings were added to a coat and vest and a slight hem on a pair of pants. When I picked my tailoring up I was greatly surprised. The jacket lining was a thing of beauty; indigo blue, vertical ticking with all lines and seams matching brilliantly. The pants fit perfectly. Craftsmanship at its best. The vest was also impeccably stitched, sadly receiving the wrong lining by mistake. Eddie insisted the vest be tailored with the correct lining - at no additional cost - then promised it in a day or two. He delivered. Eddie is not only a craftsman but a consummate professional. I'll be a customer, as long as he's a tailor. read more

Gotta love him! The owner is super nice and friendly. Always willing to have your clothes to you when you want them. Good quality work too. I've gone to other places in my neighborhood of Parkside and communication can sometimes be an issue due to language barriers. Not here. I would recommend this place to anyone in the Sunset/Parkside. read more

It took some time to find the right suit after I came in, including trying on a wrong suit, and the prices were high (though I admit I gave short notice), the results were fantastic and on-time. Eddie is a great guy and the results look phenomenal. Go for it. read more

I have been bringing thing to get tailored here for a few months now i have been very satisfied with everything i got back! Now my roommate and I get all of our stuff tailored there, They are super friendly and can finish things fast if you need them to! read more

I was referred to Eddie by my good friend Nancy. I called Saturday morning to see about getting some pants hemmed...I asked how long before the pants would be ready thinking the next business day or days...I dropped them off at 11:00 all four pants were ready at 2:00 pm the same day. He was so nice, professional and courteous. And the price was definitely right. I'll be back. read more

The work was ok but the cost is too high. Also, i kept asking him to make my coat a little bit shorter, but he kept on saying that it was already too short and didnot wanted to do it. This place feels kindah wierd. 140 dollars just for alterations. That is crazy as hell. read more

Eddie Rocks!!! I took my suit to alter. It was a very good experience. Professional advices and professional skills. I just got back my suit, the sleeves and the bottom of my pants are altered perfectly. Well to be honest, this is the 1st time I alter my suit. I am not sure if his price is reasonable. Yet I think for me $35 to shorten my suit's sleeves and hem the pant is reasonable. I guess there are cheaper places. Anyway, given the cost of my suit, $35 to make it tailor fit me is nothing. read more

My first time going to Eddie ... I needed to fill my closet, cheap and fast. So I picked up a bunch of OK quality suits from overstock.com and went to Eddie to have them altered to fit. He said "ready Friday", and they were ready Friday. Fit was excellent, and he remembered my name and order as soon as I walked in the door, which looks like a sign of good service to come. read more

Great spot. I've been going here for a while now. Got all my Levis tailored and suits ad well. Thanks!

I recently took my peacoat in here after reading the reviews on yelp. this place is just a few blocks from where i live, so i thought id give it a go. eddie knew exactly what he was doing, got the jacket back to me within a week and was even flexible about the cost. i definitely recommend this spot for one's tailoring needs. read more

First time getting anything tailored. Bought two pairs of Diesel jeans and had them hemmed using the original hem. Brought them in at 10 and got them back the same day at 5. Looks great! read more

This place is awesome. Very efficient and affordable. Eddie is really nice and professional and I feel great supporting his business.

Eddie has the skills, he's just inconsistent because he's more interested in the money than the craft of tailoring. I had the negative experiences mentioned on yelp, and should've read the reviews beforehand. I read only one positive review from someone who went to Cable Car, and I thought I could get expert work for a reasonable price. Instead, I got what I paid for, and less. If Eddie paid more attention to detail -- even when the stitches don't show -- and cared more about people and customer service, the money would grow naturally. Cutting corners with quality won't get you rich, unless you brand yourself as the fast food tailor. Eddie was only laser-focused when talking about price and asking for the money. Otherwise he was distracted and slap-dash with altering my trench coat and blouse. They're wearable but don't feel professionally tailored. Moreover, the work is sloppy with mistakes showing (seams not lining up, frayed stitches, gaps in stitching, etc). The fabric will need fixing eventually. I hope my feedback is considered, Eddie, because my intention is to help as well as vent. There is truth in all these Yelp posts, and you can really excel by integrating the criticism. As Billy Jean King says, "champions adjust." read more

Eddies cool, saved me last minute tailoring on shirt and pants for an event I needed to go to! Awesome job and guy! Fast and efficient, def check it out read more

The owner/tailor is a character straight out of a novel. He let me know he worked as a tailor in Nordstrom years ago and had a calling to the fashion, clothing business which I am glad for. We took a couple of off-the-rack summer jackets and a tuxedo jacket for alterations of the sleeves, add kissing buttons, and add buttonnaire holes to the lapels. All the work was done on time, as promised, and workmanship was superb. Eddie is all business but we managed to chat a little bit. I would recommend his services should you need alterations on your clothes. read more

I took a pant here to do alternation. But when I picked it up a week after. I found it had a hole back of the buttock area. I felt terrible because it was a new one with tags and I am pretty sure and checked very carefully when I bought it from store. And the alternation did not carefully. It looks terribly as well. I will never come back again read more

Please read Denise Q's review. She has already taken the words right out of my mouth.

Try to keep this brief. I didn't get any fancy alterations, I just took 2 pairs of pants to get hemmed. Eddie got them both done by the next day. When I picked them up, I brought a third pair to see if he could get it done for me within the hour, which he graciously offered to do. Looks to be good work, and the turnaround was excellent. $30 total = great deal in my book. read more

Eddie is terrific. I brought in 5 dresses to be tailored, because I lost weight, and they all look great. I tried on all the dresses in about 10 minutes one day and then picked them a week later -- all easy and good. Having a tailor is the neighborhood who is really good so that you don't have to go deep into the city is great. read more

I took a formal silk dress to Taraval Tailors and Eddie did a fantastic job! Needed the floor length skirt hemmed and the halter top altered and it was done to perfection. Highly recommend. Appreciated Eddie's attention to detail and friendly disposition. read more

I had 3 pairs of trousers that needed alteration, and I kept procrastinating because I didn't know how to go about finding a tailor who would do a really good job, at a reasonable price. After finding out about Taraval Tailors, I will not hesitate again to get my clothing altered. I was thrilled with Eddie's workmanship, and my interaction with him was a pleasure from start to finish. I recommend Eddie at Taraval Tailors to anyone who needs their clothing altered. He does a wonderful job at a very reasonable price, and is pleasant to deal with. read more

Eddie was great he adjusted my suit jacket and pants to give me a very tailored look. I don't look like a box! He also tailored my dress shirt so to make it fitted! Everything looks great! I brought it in Friday evening and was ready Monday morning! read more

Eddie was really great; he was apparently a tailor with Nordstrom for several years, and continues to work with J. Crew. I was in a pinch, as I needed a pair of dress pants shortened the day before a friend's wedding. Eddie said he could have them ready in an hour, and he did. He was quite pleasant and did great work with the hemming. We made a little small talk as we finalized the transaction, and I was on my way. On the whole, I'd absolutely recommend this tailor to anyone who needs good work done fast for a good price. read more
