Metropolis Alternations will not take responsibility…read morefor a damaged garment, act rudely, and will not honor the receipt conditions or even offer a refund. My wife recently brought an expensive coat for dry cleaning and a minor alteration. Hellen (the lady at the counter) confirmed they could do the job for $120, she called somebody to confirm they were able to clean this type of coat. Upon collection, we noticed the coat has shrunk so much that the internal liners were hanging from the sides, and the coat was ruined. Their explanation is that my wife didn't show the coat "fit properly" before they ruined it. Nevertheless, they inspected the coat as some minor alterations were needed. Their excuse is not valid, they are supposed to be professionals and identify their mistake. As a member of the Metropolis community of business and a recurring customer, the lady insinuates we were trying to take advantage of them. I don't take this type of rude behavior kindly and I'm frankly disappointed with the way Hellen runs her business. I'm expecting to get a canned reply saying "I apologize for the inconvenience" and "This is not standard practice". Helen, the least you could have done is act with empathy and return the 120 dollars you charged for the dry cleaning services. Anything besides that is empty words.

The final fitting is always comfortable and true to form, and I choose the a unique fabric from one of fifteen or twenty books of Italian and British fabrics which he is able to source. When I order a suit, it is usually done well ahead of when I might need it, so I have never had a problem with the suit being late. Many of my colleagues, also, use Pat and have been doing so for many years. The only negative comment I might have about Seville Tailors is that they are located in Burnaby, close to Edmunds and Kingsway. I am surprised by some of the earlier comments, because I have been getting suits from Pat for close to a quarter century and they are not indicative of my experiences.

I live in Seattle and made the drive to Vancouver specifically for my first-ever tailor-made suits, and it was worth every mile. Coming into this knowing nothing about suiting, Adam was incredibly patient. He took the time to educate me on materials, cuts, and styles, eventually helping me land on the perfect choice for my specific venue. What impressed me most was his obsession with the details--he went the extra mile on the alterations, ensuring the fit met his own high standards rather than just "good enough." The final product exceeded my expectations. Adam is a true professional. Highly recommended!

I recently brought in a suit for alteration, and was about to remove it from its beautiful wooden hangers imprinted with the name of the suit, and take the hangers home. No, said Fatima, leave the suit on the hangers. When I picked up my suit, it was returned to me on a wire hanger and a ratty old pant hanger. When I asked Fatima where my wooden hangers were, pointing to the label on the suit, I got no response. She just thrust my suit on its wire hanger towards me. I asked if my hangers were in the back, but again, no response. I feel it was irresponsible and unbusinesslike of Fatima to insist a customer leave her good hangers if she had no intention of keeping track of them and returning them to the owner.

I was waiting to get a few more uses out of the bespoke suit that I had made by the Wong brothers…read more However, I just took a peek at what I had hanging in the closet and it brought back many emotions about the journey. I'll save a bunch of details since others have written just as much praise for the fantastic generations of men who have served the Vancouver area for 100yrs and focus on my own experience. I had made the decision to have a suit custom tailored at Modernize Tailor because it's the place my grandfather had gone decades ago to get his very own suits made. I wanted to own a piece of history that is multiple generations old and that meant ensuring the suit was made by the same hands that would have created the timeless pieces that my grandfather would have worn. It was not cheap and it was not lightning fast. In fact, I didn't make it any faster by being very particular about the bolt of wool that I would wear with pride. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough material left to make a full jacket and pants for me and I ended up spending more hours digging through the famous "stash" of finely-aged bolts of fabric before finding something from a new collection of British wools that gave me the same level of excitement. Steven and I spent quite a bit of time talking about what makes a suit and how I will be wearing the single-buttoned, side-vented, and fish-mouth notched and narrow lapelled gem that I had been visualizing for months. Thinking about the all the options I had, I sat on a couch in the foyer of a residential building where Modernize Tailors has returned to their origins after years of being across the street. The results of our conversation and all this time to decide had me re-thinking many elements of the design and fit that I was looking to achieve. Ultimately, I'm so glad that it did. The result was an instant classic. Little work needed to be done upon pickup of the finished masterpiece which took nearly three months due to vacation time for both them and myself. I was picky about a little bit of neck roll just below the collar and I decided it was necessary to turn it into a two-button jacket to make the overall look more professional and proportional. It was a non-issue for them to take care of and an hour later, I walked out of Modernize Tailor with a giant grin on my face. No, I wasn't wearing the suit on my way back to my car. In fact, the suit wasn't even put in a special travel bag or anything. It sat on a very plain hanger, but I just felt better about myself holding it. Chinatown has changed quite a bit since my grandfather would have been walking those same streets, but I'm sure he felt the same way after picking up his new apparel from the Wong brothers. In closing, you don't buy a suit from Modernize Tailors. You are buying a piece of history.

With Brooks Brothers severely limiting made to measure, and my bespoke tailor having retired, I…read moreneed a new place for custom suits and accessories. I phoned ahead to confirm Blair Shapera's location and said I would be coming in that day. When I arrived I was told they were down staff and usually work with appointments. This was not mentioned on the phone. However I understand how stuff happens and said I'd return the next day. No harm, no foul, but again, no appointment was required for my dropping by the next day. The next day I did came in and was fitted for a shirt - getting a shirt made is a good way to see how a clothier runs things and the product they produce. I paid, but on the way out Blair explained to me that in the future if I am in the store and someone more important enters then, and I quote: "understand that you will then become invisible to me". What a horrid way to treat people, more so a customer. If I were suddenly made invisible in the middle of a fitting, visit, or appointment because someone better arrived, I would be humiliated, belittled, and likely livid. Fortunately I found out about their attitude toward less-important customers like myself before that situation came to fruition. I wrote them a letter about this experience, explaining how I could not work with a team which would make me a non-person at the opening of a door, and that they could discard the shirt. I don't want a refund, I don't want the shirt. I don't want to do business that would treat me as invisible. Perhaps this is all a massive misunderstanding, but I received no response to my letter. No apology, no clarification, no explanation, nothing. I can only conclude that this truly is how they want to run their business. If you want to go somewhere and risk being treated like a piece of nothing, then this is your place.
